Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 33!, 1 BIG FISH ALERT last October 4th) (7 confirmed! 11 Busted!)

[1990crow]

To keep points for Welsh next year I guess we can do that.

Problem with that is getting our hands on 4.

If Reid pulls pick 4 and then onto Oliver off he gets a statue at Adelaide Oval.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Maybe.
It would also be a surefire way to land pick 1 and Harley Reid.

Doesn't make sense though ....trade your #1 player, at the peak of his game, when MELB are right in the premiership window ....for Reid, who won't get near Oliver in performance, for 3 years

Are MELB going to forgo a flag opportunity here ?

 

[Betts are off]

I said “probably”, not “only”.

Even 'probable' is a long bow IMO.

I would say losing Josh would be as low on our agenda as it gets. So him being part of any deal would be ultra unlikely.

Wouldn't mean we couldn't get it done though

I just can't work out what we give to GC to get 4. Particularly if we have Burgess on the line and if Chol decides to come too.

Our bundle of seconds and there likely needs to be something else. I was thinking McAdam compo but McAdam would I assume end up in an Oliver deal if it were to eventuate.

 

[PeterSalt]

Because I think they would ask for a young star player as part of the deal.

Thilthorpe has been rumoured floated somewhere

Makes some sense considering the age of Gawn, their KPF (lack of) and losing Jackson last year

 

[DJ75]

If Oliver is a real chance, then you absolutely do it. Re-uniting him with Burgess might be the key. Have to get him to request us and us only.
Maybe they will take Crouch as part of the package

 

[Hodgy]

The thing is that picks 10 and 17 from the Bulldogs would have to be moved again for seconds by GC anyway as they only need points., and those picks would get eaten up by bids and have more value as picks than as points. If we can get them the amount they need, and perhaps agree to trade them pick 20 at the draft after they have gotten their 3 NGAs then why wouldn’t they do the deal with us?

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Apparently Shane McAdam doesn't share this view.

Reading some of the media the last 24 hours my feel is we aren't getting the full story re Oliver's off field issues so we would want to be right across the depth of these issues. Would be paying a hell of a lot only to see the player crash and burn.

Of course, but surely if the off-field issues are that disastrous any club would be able to sniff them out through player interviews and industry connections.

 

[Mutineer]

Wouldn't stop some on this board so a fair chance it wouldn't stop a desperate list manager or two.

I think Harley Reid might be involved in the equation somehow. Oliver would certainly net them Harley Reid I think.

https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/news/afl-trade-2023-the-age-threshold-set-to-guarantee-north-firstround-compensation-for-ben-mckay/news-story/fa6825f0a69db670b140360343cdacf4

Sources have clarified that this year’s free agency compensation will be based on lining up contracts with salaries based on 2023 wages before the 15 per cent pay rise for players for 2023 and 2024.

If the compensation was based on contracts for 2024, the Dons might have had to pay McKay an extra 15 per cent to hit the first-round trigger.



What a ******* joke. How can they use 2023 salaries when (1) there IS a 15% increase coming next year and (2) surely its the contract offered by the acquiring club NEXT year not what his salary was this year

Perhaps I have got this wrong but without reading all posts this just further cements what a complete joke and farce this competition and head body really is. Even Gary Lyon said this morning that FA compo was a contrived or manipulated outcome

Tom Morris on same show also said Crows would be one of 3 clubs named that would be interested in Oliver along with Saints and Dons as we have more than adequate $ to cover his 1m/year contract (which Lyon said in summary not that likely to happen)

So Doods gets us at least a band 2 then.

Isn’t Oliver from Country Victoria?

moving to Adelaide won’t be a big deal

Likely band 3, which is a 2nd rounder.

Mooroopna/Sheparton way I think.

They are one in the same anyway

 

[Crow till I die]

Just a musing..IF somehow we landed A+ grade Oliver in this trade period without costing a quality player in return, and port are scrapping to get journeymen Sweet, BZT and Ratugolea, their board will go nuts

 

[Crow-eater]

That's the second Vic journo to say we'd be a good fit for him. Is this bizarro world????

Do you reckon Nicks would know that Clayton Oliver

isn't a back pocket or would Clayton have to tell him?

 

[Peter Doherty]

Melbourne have 2 x 2nd rounders and possibly a 3rd after the Grundy deal.

There could be a scenario where we pay up big but still get one of those 2nds coming our way.

 

[JimmyTheScoop]

I'm aware of the rumours. Perhaps my ice bath comment was too vague. Would still take him

Brad Crouch appears to have a good reset after changing clubs….

 

[Betts are off]

He might need to spend half the season on the HFF building his tank before we gave him a CBA

In the SANFL

That is curious... If Scoop McClure or Kane say's we are a fit then I'm buying a lotto ticket.

 

[Runnin Blue]

There is definitely something seriously wrong with him then if the Vics are on our side.

Still want.
