Troy Selwood?

Re: Troy Selwood?

I'd certainly be interested in Nathan Djerrkira.

Agreed.


Also I wonder who Salopek has been in talks with? At a guess he'll be playing for either St Kilda or Essendon next year.

Going to be a lot of player movements this off-season. And so the new look competition begins...

Re: Troy Selwood?

Nathan Djerrkura from Geelong would be worth a look at.

I remember during his draft year that it would be great if we could somehow nab him. We have had a history of working sensibly with Geelong on trades in the past. Given Harbrow's increasingly likely departure and our need for someone with speed and ability to apply defensive pressure I would really hope the club considers this.
If Djerrkurra is wanting more opportunities then I think we can offer him that. I wonder what Geekong would consider as adequate compensation?

You would think a 2nd round pick would get the deal done. If Ablett stays at Geelong, the Suns would be in the box seat to get Djerrkurra.

He was a second round pick when he was drafted and done nothing since. A third rounder should get it done, based on Geelong's solid track record.

Pick 25 to be exact. He is a small quick goalsneak come midfielder with good skill, they are in demand. Its not easy to get a game ahead of Varcoe & Stokes in one of the best teams going around. I hope you are right that a 3rd rounder will get the deal done. Its probably what he is worth but with the new side coming in and having so many concessions, I fear his value may increase.

Ditto.

I've seen him a couple of times and he's looekd impressive. Pretty hard at it and he's quick. He does struggle to get the ball/get involved but I hope we make a play for him.

We've seen several times that the myth of Geelong having gun players in the reserves who can't get a game because their senior side is so strong is just that, a myth. Tim Callan and Brent Prismall supposedly would've walked into any other team, yet Callan is most likely to be delisted this year due to his poor disposal and inability to keep his feet in a contest, and Prismall is in and out of one of the bottom teams due to his poor decision making under pressure and lack of accountability.

Djerrkurra may well turn out to be a good player, but he should be judged on what he has produced at AFL level and that's not much.

Re: Troy Selwood?

I asked a few guys today about him but unfortunately no one knew much. Any info?

Looking elsewhere for more opportunity apparently. Not super-quick but quick enough, plays as a small mid at VFL level but we might be able to turn him into a goalsneak. Geelong fans tend to knock his disposal at speed/under pressure (sound familiar for an ex-Geelong type?) and rate Varcoe & Stokes as much quicker. His defensive efforts are rated highly which is what we need in the F50.

Callan...Really? I did not hear that, maybe Prismall although he was not one I would have picked up.

Re: Troy Selwood?

Looks like Andrew Walker is wanting a trade and wants to stay in Melbourne, If Carlton are still keen on Dre would anyone do this trade?

No. Hill perhaps.

Not me, too injury prone & doesn't use it well enough.

Walker is a negating defender and would be a nice addition but trading Everitt to get him isnt a good deal for us.

Brodie Moles
Steven King
Shane Mumford
Charlie Gardiner
Henry Playfair
Tim Callan
Brent Prismall

Not guns, but have certainly played games at new clubs
The ruckmen are the stand outs, done because of an abundances of riches in that area. You would have to say with Varcoe, Stokes & Byrnes the same applies for Djerrkura

If Geelong could have afforded Mumford he wouldn't have gone anywhere.
