Rumour Bluemour Discussion thread - The sequel - I know what SOS did last Sumner

I was thinking more Andrew McLeod when I watched him.

Yarran off half back used to remind me of Andrew McLeod as well. My dad and I used to always say he was basically Andrew McLeod 2.0, would be outrunning guys without trying looking like he's cruising at 80%, brilliant left or right foot, great goal sense. Too bad that faded quickly...

Did Pickett suffer a Lisfranc injury? I'm actually 10 months into a recovery from a ruptured Lisfranc and I already know I wont be able to do anything remotely serious for a while longer, worse than an acl. Confidence in your foot disappears pretty fast as well. Swan put it nicely, ' It feels as though if I kick a footy my foot would explode again.'

Anyways, I wouldn't target someone who's had a Lisfranc injury... ever.

Yeah I'm very wary of him because of that injury. A couple of players in the NFL have had it and it's basically ruined there careers. One in particular I remember was a guy called Ryan Clady.. One of the best in the NFL in his position, after that injury it was injury after injury and he was never the same player.

Not yet I don't believe.

Personally I think they will announce his signing as day 4 of the 4in4.

And whilst everyone is so excited the club wil say also by the way player X,y and z are cut.... But everyone will be too excited about Simmo to care.

According to Jay Clark Simmo has already triggered a one year extension back in July. It would be a bit michevous for the club to claim that as a re-signing if true.

Unless it's a 4 year extension

Surely Wright is one of them. Experienced, does his job and reliable. No brainer IMO

I don't even get why they've done a 4 in 4 - not like teams are beating down our doors to take guys away.

 

[El Topo]

Gotta get the members engaged after the side did everything possible in the last few rounds to scare them off

Keeping Casboult might scare people off too. lol

Yarrans biggest issue is his laziness.
Was there when he was a junior, and is still there even though he's been in the AFL system for ages.

I thought Wright had been confirmed weeks ago as getting a contract extension.

 

[majesticseacapt]

so anyway, back to rumours?

any more word on Steele and Marchbank?

only two im interested in trading for, from all reports (sigh, reported rumours) steele is off to the saints and marchbank is primmed for us?

marchbank wouldnt cover much cap at gws due to his draft salary, so who are they looking to offload as a bit of salary cap relief?

You'd assume so. He'd be one of the better players this season after Simpson, Docherty, Cripps, Gibbs and Curnow.

Marchbank wants to return home to Victoria.

Highly rated by the Giants - him leaving has nothing to do with their salary cap.

Tom Browne on twitter just posted Ahern has done his ACL again. If true can see him being included in the deal to get him off GWS books. Unfortunate for the young man

Yep. As if less talented players like Motlop, Hill, Varcoe, etc would be more accomplished than Yaz had he really applied himself given his natural talents and abilities. Still bitterly disappointed who couldn't reach his potential.

Harsh, but that is ideal for us.

What, taking someone who has done 2 ACL's?
No thanks.

If it discounts Marchbanks price its a great result (for us...not Ahern), but if he comes good, great, if he doesn't it just a list spot for a year.

@7NewsMelbourne @gold1043 If ACL as I suspect, heartbreaking , Ahern did ACL earlier this year @GWSGIANTS

We are coming from so far back, we just can't take risks like that anymore...
Hit the draft and build our own.

We already have Byrne on the out for most of next year. Recruiting someone who has just done his knee for the 2nd time? I'm sorry but that's the dumbest thing I've heard

He suspects he has done his ACL.

Nothing on the GWS website.
