If they're talking about someone with the initials CJ they'd be correct!

Chris Johnson?

 

[Burgers45]

FWIW a poster on the Giants board is saying that Kelly has made his decision and has told the Giants he will be requesting a trade at the end of the year. Says he is so sure of his info that he won't post again if he is wrong.

Juddy must have made a BIG impression on Josh?

 

[Forty3]

Saad very big fan of Rocket and visa versa. Likely to seek a move to join his mentor if the club is interested.

Judd is a no bullshit type of man. Had a quick chat to him 5 years ago at LA airport when they were done training in Arizona. Came across as really honest. No doubt Kelly would've appreciated that.

Life, and football supporting life, is full of deluded people and fantasists. Let's wait and see what happens at the end of the season. Better that way!

Intelligent and a bit left of field.

In the 'Record' a few years ago, Judd answered the questions of a player profile, with the usual questions such as "What's your favourite brand of sunglasses" etc.

One of the questions was "Who would you most like to spend an hour with from history?", and his answer was Albert Camus, a twentieth century existential writer and philosopher. Down the track I met Judd and asked if it was a genuine answer, and he said it was, and that his favourite book by the author is 'The Outsider'.

Great book, and gives a small insight into the thinking by the man.

It was on the high school curriculum then.

I graduated in 01... The outsider was one of the main books used

Underrated philosopher. Managed to talk about Absurdism but didn't fall prey to the ideological lures of Marxist horseshit that usually accompanies it.

Nah mate, our supporters expect top 4 before they'll jump on board...personal thought, I think we have the largest bandwagon support in the comp. completely self entitled.l and stuck in the 80's

I know some people won't like that, but truth hurts

 

[kjr8]

Too many people involved or have ties in the industry are coming to same opinion that Kelly is likely to be at PP. getting harder not to get excited.

Kelly "done deal" (fwiw, I never believe those )

Had dinner with my mate last night, a few tidbits for you:

- Gibbs is more than likely staying. Looking for another property to buy in Carlton and live. It would take a huge turn of events for that to change.

- Kelly is either playing for Carlton or GWS next year.
4 Melbourne clubs interested in him and who he has spoken to. Carlton, North, Essendon and Hawks.
North have offered $400K more per year than us, Essendon 200K less per year (of course that can be adjusted).
Hawks same as us but he would prefer to come to our club.
Saints are yet to speak to him, but GWS are hoping for obvious reasons they enter the market and convince him that they are a destination club also.
We are seen to him as the club with the highest ceiling and who are able to compensate GWS most.

- At this stage Hopper is leaving GWS to which Victoria club is unknown.

#Bluemour

As fans of AoE would say - ERECTUS

 

[Blue and Silver]

How much would we have to pay for Saad?

Good player, not A-grade, young enough...

Second round?

Any news on Cuningham's contract? Seems strange that he is yet to re-sign.

Straight swap for Kelly......

 

[Funk]

Just watch our membership grow next year if we attain a few top calibre players in this trade period and draft?

Yep - it'll be all the Collingwood supporters making sure they can get Grand Final tickets........

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Get around it.

Hope not!

With respect, former players such as these are generally the worst sources for 'rumours'.

Been out of the club for a very long time but like to talk a big game when it comes to 'inside mail', and very rarely are they actually up to speed with what's going on at the club.

 

[F_therest]

Not sure Adelaide need him that badly now with the development of the Crouch brothers.

Yeah i wonder if a large part of Gibbs being more likely to stay now is because Adelaide's interest has waned.

 

[F_therest]

Interesting stuff.

I feel based off this, the best case scenario for us is:
-Kelly arrives
-Gibbs stays
-Balic for a 3rd round pick
-2 DFA's or state league players who are mature, depth midfielders (which Trigg alluded to)
-Casboult compensation pick to the draft and take another midfielder

Wouldn't be too disappointed with this overall and i think we'd be much more competitive. With our naturally improving youngsters, I'd put us at 10-12 wins for next season.

Agreed and that would be a very good result considering where our club has been over the last few years...a true rise to greater things with finals a big chance the year after in 2019.

We are quite well stocked with KPP's for now and have BSOS to come...have an off season like you've posted and add 3-4 good mids to our list and our list is almost there.

 

[F_therest]

I appreciate that.
Just wonder on what grounds someone can announce a trade as a done deal?

How's our done deal with Hawthorn going this year?
I'm just guessing here as what we hear and what the truth may be, could be poles apart.

As you say no such thing as a 'done deal' until papers are lodged.

All people have to say is 'done deal at this stage' to add in the proviso that things can change.

 

[F_therest]

Juddy is the gift that keeps on giving.

While in hindsight we definitely overpaid for Juddy in the trade, it's all worth it given the work he's still doing for us as a soon to be board member and if he helps entice players like Kelly to the club!

Yeah say what you will about Richmond...but despite being crap for 30 years i think they're top 3 for memberships with around 70,000...

 

[F_therest]

Juddy must have made a BIG impression on Josh?

I wonder if Judd was a bit of a boyhood hero to Kelly when he was younger? Always adds that extra bit of influence on a person.
