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

Bugger.. thought I had it, sure thats not you.. at 10`clock edge of pic?

 

[thylacine60]

close - but no cigar......what the hell is a Cliper ffs?

Not this little black duck

Apparently just pie in the sky, but Hartlett to the Crows is almost a done thing. Odds shortening for one of Grigg, Lyons and C E-Y leaving the Crows but may be heading to Port rather than Carlton.

I hope you don't mind the intrusion, but was there any discussion on how Hartletts long contract would be handled?

Trigg said so this afternoon on GuesSEN i believe (saw a link to it on the AFL's official FB page)
Starting to really like the man, he is such a refreshing change from some of the Gazoos we've had masquerading as CEO's in the past decade (IE Swann)

You called?

Tuohy ain't going anywhere, the fact he resigned for 3 years means he loves the club and is a required player by Bolts and the M C

Trigg said so this afternoon on GuesSEN i believe (saw a link to it on the AFL's official FB page)

He also said under no circumstances we are giving up pick 5 to GWS for Marchbank.

FACT is he hasn't re-signed yet & Trigg didn't say that at all on GuesSEN.

Touhy has been offered a 3yr deal.

Did he mention next years first round pick at all??

Good thinking

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Sorry ODN but it was us that sacked him .. if it was a case of not renewing an expiring contract then fair nuff.. but we did it.

It was us that sacked him but that doesn't make him a bad coach. Although I'd suggest that he has become a better coach over at the Hawks.

Speaking to Kevin Bartlett on SEN’s Hungry for Sport, Trigg praised the Irishman for his tremendous contribution to the Blues over the past six years, and reiterated his desire for the 26-year-old to remain at Ikon Park.

“We’d like Zach to stay, he’s got a very healthy three-year deal in front of him and like a bunch of players around the competition at the moment he’s just weighing up his options, which is not unreasonable,” Trigg said.
“We want him to stay at the footy club, he’s been very durable and he’s a very strong senior player.

Reads to me a lot like a sales pitch...

And between the lines:"we are only too happy to hang on to him if you aren't prepared to cough up his worth."

Hoping the Mods will indulge me for one more non-Carlton post.
Hartlett's contract is front loaded to some degree. Talk is that Port would pay a portion of the first 3 years - approx 25%.

Thanks Aphrodite

My thoughts exactly.

I think Touhy has been offered a 3 year deal not signed.

Yes Trigg is a breath of fresh air, professional

 

[ferrisb]

He said we wanted him to stay and have a decent 3 year contract in front of him. Mentioned he was strong, durable and a senior player and we need to keep a senior core.

Actions speak louder than words.

I say all the time that I need to keep a strong core. Doesn't stop me from drinking beers and eating crappy food...

The club doesn't always publish articles when a player re-signs. I can't recall a time when we've published an article about making a contract offer.

I know it's just publishing comments already made by trigg, and out there in the public domain, but this seems a bit like grandstanding. Either to pressure Zac or assuage fans' fears we are pushing Zac out of the club.

No problem with either of those, but not our usual MO.

Wallaby fooked if I can find him...

Did they with Waite? it's not the first time... just can't recall who it was.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Gotta say, don't think the Trigg comments change anything. Sounds more consistent with us being happy for him to sign for less but equally happy to move him on.

Ha. Made you look ...

Imagine his surprise when Trent Cotchin tumbled out.........

Some of your best work right there.

This thread is hilarious..." it's great that Tuohy has signed".
