Jordie_tackles

He doesnt look quick but still seemed to have time to make the right decisions and put his body on the line when required will only grow from here.

i hope so OD, i love Gysberts and think he was just unfit and injured. people were very hard on him this year, the team struggled but he came back with everyone else up and about after half a season, imo has ALOT still to offer

All this says to me is that they are not going for Gysberts anymore as they wont have anything of worth, Considering people suggest they still need to gain a pick to finish the deal with GC? edit they may still have their first rounder

fixed

Prismall is still an essendon player..... they signed him up good and long, geelong must be laughing

Average player nominates essendon one year, trade cannot get done while essendon dont have picks matching his worth. next year picks a more sort after destination to make things easy haha

I think this is your best trade yet, could even make it a 3 way trade with Carlton to push the whole deal through. I also think we could try and push another 2/3rd roudner out of it and maybe something else late Carltons way as pick 9 is the tops Caddy is worth imo.

Not a bad result, get him with a second rounder or get a 1 pick upgrade because he is gone prior to that?

Rumours and people playing out scenarios mate. Never much concrete in it.

2/ 17 YO 3/ End of Free Agent - GWS & Gold Coast have NO free agents - we can access MORE picks. We have free agents. ******* 4/ One week left of trade week. Very important point. Harrington has said, simple as the nose on your face " we will not take a player out of order. our fans would demand that of us." this says nothing about if we will or wont take Viney. What it says is simple - if you cant work it out thats your problems. How is this not possible? all i said is they can bid on Viney then make a play on Tippet? dont get your nickas in knots buddy

No they nominate Viney we, take Viney at 3 anyway. then they take Tippet, easy. All i said was that it was possible.

Yes but they can bid for Viney then use pick 2 in 1 of the other options. So technically they can use pick 2 twice.

I am not totally against Caddy, but do think the players at 13 will be better. I can agree not very player drafted high will work, i dont think Caddy would be in many top 8 teams on his current form, can you count on him improving more or less than a highly rated kid? I just dont want to trade anything more than he is worth, when he wont take us forward unless he improves or recognises his talent which is harder said than done. Peopel seem to think he is more likely to do this bacause having a big made body is flavour of the month and one particular player we didnt draft is having success with this.

Pick 13 isnt a good price for a guy who is yet to prove himself when you are more than likely, not 100% to get a very good player if not great player inside the top 13/15 come draft day. I like the Clark comparison, he had proven himself as a good KPP for 4-5 years and was worth pick 12, not Caddy

or 13 ect

He has not proven he is any better than a plodder so far, definitely better to assume someone picked in the top 10 in this draft will be better than a plodder

I think Thompson had shown more than both Toy and Caddy when he left. I was very disappointed as a younger fan to see him go. Even back then i could see how good he was.

Obviously, Kelvin Lawrence will go for a number 2 pick if GWS offer pick 1. I think he is worth no where near pick 12 on current form.

I would think a pick 15-20 would more than suffice

If picks are over rated then dont use them to argue a players worth. Fact is Caddy had an average year/career at GC. Had "a few" good games. Not worth pick 13 in thsi market. maybe our second rounder IF Viney is pushed at pick 3

Goldcoast would be pretty happy to take a 4-5 place drop on him from what they paid and get back into a strong draft imo.....lots of good players going around at about pick 13 this year.

Thats the question.....that i dont think many people know

The thing is he runs hard and into space which is half the battle, we got flogged in the first term largely due to not having players in space and in turn time to use the ball, Cale offers this. His kicking is definite worry but i hold out that he will turn it around, people saying delist after 4 years he is only 22.....and we arnt great at providing options this is the most frustrating part of our game. See endless number of Collingwood players leading hard, sprinting ect for an option we never ever have that, Collinwood played with so much space it wasnt funny

He wasnt subbed can say it is a big deal...... Was good and bad like usual, if Neeld can get him to click for a few hole games he could turn it all around

We have managed to miss some picks looking back, getting good players with top ten picks is easy enough. getting the 100% best player at your pick is another thing to get right.
