Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

[Prem17]

It's that time of the year when everyone is linked to Carlton!









#ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

Those were the days! At least last year was a step in that direction again

 

[Aphrodite]

Is this when we bring up Pavlich?

*EFA

 

[Prem17]

Done deal?

Nothing can be a done deal until it's a done deal.
Handshakes are O.K. but lodged forms are better.

Well if we have last minute deals like we had in 2013 then we will pick up another good player

We'll get there.

2015.
2 clubs left in the AFL.
Carlton (which is made up of players from 16 other clubs) and Essendon (which will have only 20 players on their list and NO ONE wants to go there)

Dogs board have been discussing Reid as a realistic possibility of going to them for a few weeks. They mentioned Freo want him too.

Let Freo have him - no doubt they will offer 8 years @ $700000 a season!

I used to work with Jordan Lewis and have spent many times drinking with Jono Brown, yet I know nothing

Reckon you'd have trouble remembering anything if you tried to keep up with drinks with Jono Brown,

I think it was Jono Brown???

Guys, I am still around, but at this time of the year there is plenty of things happening in the background. I will only post things which are more likely to happen than not.

Boyd, no deal this year but the club is confident something will happen next year.
Jaksch has committed, 3 year deal from what I have been told. A deal won't be known until we have finalised our picks. 2nd rounder the more likely option.
Nothing has come for Robbo that is making us excited right now.
Waite more likely to leave now. Players more than the coaching staff have shown their disappointment in him. He genuinely hasn't made up his mind, but the difference is minimal.
Club still confident of landing Higgins in FA

.........and rightly so given they have a pretty good idea that Jaksch won't be coming their way.

No secret that Reid isn't particularly enjoying his role with Tippett and Buddy up front so he may just be open to options.

Reid will know just how keen we were and still may be on him.............getting him here would be the trick though as others will offer up a lot more.

Any news on Mitchell?

Any other players that we maybe interested in that you have heard MS3?
What are your thoughts on what will happen with our first pick? Use it in the draft, send it somewhere, cash it in for 2 picks?
Cheers

 

[gab213]

We are getting everyone!!!

Get Priddis! They don't want him anyway

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

We want a 2nd rounder or player of similar value. late 3rd rounders on offer atm.

Why does that excite us? Or did I read that wrong?

Oooh yeah, 70 games, 2 grand finals on a kagillion bucks.........i feel for his sufferance.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Waiting till Sydney next week. Sydney not talking trades atm. Mitchell wants to come, but Sydney may not let him go. Ultimately they have the final say.

You read wrong. Read it again, slowly.

 

[Kramer1]

Actually Levi does 3 or 4 things well....

He is a good mark but people underestimate his ability to chase/pressure, tackle and split packs open to create crumbing opportunities.

Courtney Dempsey doesn't...least not anymore.

 

[etsal1]

Comprehension isn't a strength of mine. I read it as nothing has come and we are excited by that

 

[HARKER]

Players want to play and show off their wares.

Playing decoy for the bigger boys may not be what you got into playing football for.........but I can see what you're saying

Very happy if that eventuates, hate the idea of losing our first rounder in a KP rich draft.
