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

[Doro]

I would hope the club would have better things to do then settle internet debates. A vast majority of us here know what's credible info and what isn't. You don't hear a word against MS3 because he's proven himself a trusted source. There's no prize for devil's advocate, just get with it.

I'm not trying to win a prize dude, just think it may improve things, as sometimes this place is the source of pressure that works its way into reality.

re the giants 1st and 3rd. In your opinion, is this unders or overs?

way way unders for a gun brute key forward.

If we could do that trade i would be over the moon.

Alfredo Rojas Barrett wasn't on triple m yesterday. So either you heard him somewhere else or that Patton and Mitchell is complete bull.

I heard Barrett on MMM yesterday I think, with the Duck.

Interesting. I listened to the podcast because I wanted to hear more about this deal and he wasn't on it. It went for ages too

Sorry Alfredo Rojas

What happened? What's the proposal?

 

[etsal1]

Rumour has it that Blues, Swans & Giants working out 3 way trade according to Damien Barrett

- Blues getting Mitchell & Jon Patton
- Swans getting 2nd & 4th round pick from Blues
- Giants get 1st round pick & 3rd round pick from Blues
- Swans get Ruckman Rory Lobb in exchange for 3rd round pick from Giants

Thoughts on trade rumours?

I think would be ok only concern is giving away all our picks but might be worth it

What happened? What's the proposal?

 

[Sam The Doc]

Haha, pick 80 our first pick?!

It was on the weekend, he has like 2-3 radio shows. What reason do I have to lie?

He was talking about the 3 way deal for like 15 minutes, he has like 3 radio shows and 3 tv shows he appears. Busy man you know lol

I found this rumour rather interesting for the following reasons :

(a) why is it Patton and not Boyd ??
(b) would the club really trade all of its first four picks ??
(c) why wouldn't the club give the Swans a third rounder for Lobb as we need another ruck badly ??
(d) if this did eventuate, what would happen to the rest of the players and mooted trades ??

Hey dont shoot the messenger

Again what reasons do i have to lie? What he reported

 

[LordLucifer]

I'm not at all Alfie, just querying some of the specifics and what the wash-up might be.

Keep in mind Swans still need clear up salary cap & fact that GWS need clear up room in reserves... Young raw talent on Giants list that will seek homes elsewhere... Thats just my opinion though reasons GWS maybe looking at trading Patton as also have McCarthy in the NEAFL

Definitely agree the Swans need to get some salary cap relief especially now that they have lost the COLA. GWS have to reduce their list too but they won't give away any of their 'cream' players unless there is a decent payoff or an unusual twist stifles it.

We might be looking at getting Patton this year as we are expecting to get Boyd next year on the cheap. If Boyd has indicated he wants to come to us and is more than happy to wait a year and then walk, we may be happy to take him on his word and once he selects us next year, we just throw gws something ok rather than picks and players.
Boyd might say it's the blues or I walk into the pre season draft.
Clearly just a guess, but it would be amazing to add Patton and Boyd in successive years!

All good. I apologised in a later post. It just wasn't on their Sunday podcast.

Great city but Barcelona has terrible beaches. Sand fit for the sheik's camels. Rubbish and cigarette butts strewn all over.

Visit Tarragona, Alicante and Valencia or if you're driving, countless little towns along the coast. (I'd give Benidorm a miss - high rise central)

¡Viva España!

Lagos Portugal!!!!

Magnificent!!

lets not push our luck now and get to carried away.

I love a "Rumour" thread in which


50% of posts are general chit-chat among posters
20% of posts are bitching about the lack of rumours in the thread
10% of posts are a discussion of the few rumours posted
10% of posts are bitching about the sources of the people who post the rumours
10% bitching about how none of the rumours in the thread come true.
And people wonder why no-one posts rumours in here when those who do just get attacked anyway ...........

Interesting Statistics Thread.

I reckon this would be banking on us getting picks for players like Walker, Garlett, Robinson so would still give the recruiters something to do.
