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

[King of Ruin]

Speaking Menz, although he had a relatively quiet game (bar that 3rd quarter) I reckon he could get the rising star nom this week.

Charlie Cameron or Daniher are his competitors. However both forwards (like Menz) each kicked 3 goals only - despite Menz only kicking 2 himself, he never got a nom when he kicked 3 goals twice.

Pipe dream, sadly.

Carlton don't get rewards.

Not a rumour but Cameron is embarrassing Betts right now.

Sure Betts gets the tag but that's not what people see.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Getting Patton for Watson would actually be a win for us.

You don't say.

 

[etsal1]

I reckon it's Daniher's unfortunately. That's the best I've seen him play, he had a cracker.

No better than Menz against Saints or Adelaide. but you're probably right.

 

[King of Ruin]

He's so brave because he's Essendon.

That's subjective.

Is asking for Jaksch/Tomlinson and O'Rouke for Watson and our 2nd round pick a viable trade if GWS did indeed approach us about Watson? Or would they hang up the phone on us?

You're essentially saying Watson = Jaksch/Tomlinson and a pick 2/3 in O'Rourke is worth a second rounder.

Not going to happen.

 

[RoyalParade]

And remember we could've got Jaksch ourselves but we took Menzzzzzzzz

Just don't see why gws would bother with Watson if jaksch leaves. They have plenty of other talls.

Does anyone know anything about Sam Cattapan playing for the Northern Blues. Heard on the grapevine he is getting looked at for a rookie spot from us, google gave me some good write ups on his form but not much else.

Totally out played Judd on the weekend going by the stats....

Good kid and puts in as much as anyone.

Just think his physical attributes may hold him back. He's not particularly clean either.
If we didn't care for Lambert, I'm not sure what Cattapan can offer to us.

"better than Judd" - Ted Hopkins

Really though, he's very small and from the two times I've watched him play his disposal was a little off.

 

[gandaal]

First pick for Jaksch and 20.

Take it or leave it.

Hopefully you aren't the real Andy McKay

 

[Silvagnis]

Overs based on the Docherty trade.

Pick 26 (or there abouts) for Jaksch

If the Pies can get an uncontracted Adams for a 28 year old, then the Giants might take what they can get for Jaksch. Believe they will need to reduce their list. They don't really need more KPF or even talls, but they will more than likely pick another quality KPP before Carlton. Too many talls as I posted a while ago.

Giants might value our first pick to get Brayshaw, Weller or Pickett. Pursued Kelly last year by dumping Tyson and a pick to ultimately end up with Kelly and McCarthy.

I'm not fussed if we trade our first pick. It's worth trading if you can get a KPP like Henderson and Kennedy who had two years development. Port did this with their trade for Polec and for Impey. Can potentially add another KPP or a quality ball user with pick 20.

All depends whether we rated Jaksch in the first place....I think we're more boom or bust.

Patton just fits the bill better.

All depends if this draft has better talls than the 2012 draft.

He is only 175cm's tall which will hamper his chances of making it. Unless he can play like Jarryd Blair or Harvey of course.

Exactly. We here deal in numbers but the real stuff gets talked about for players.

Who cares whether it be a pick #10 or #20, if you get the player that fits the bill?

Can hear HBF's squeal of joy from over here.

Genuinely don't reckon a fellas height should limit his draft prospects.

If you've to the skillset, the nous, the ability ..................you're in.

See Lewy Taylor.

Oops, wrong thread.

Can he run, jump, mark, kick & handball??

I'll find out for you, I'm good friends with his parents.

Don't tell his parents what I said..........OK?

You can just tell he's a good kid and one that will only get better in his time with the NB's

 

[etsal1]

I've only really recognised him n the game on TV v co burg. He was ok but we were pathetic that day.
