[Snuffaluphagus]

There's a story that Hardie & Hagdorn have both mentioned this week, saying that a certain high profile player at Dockers has pi55ed off the player group & that Freo are considering trading the player out. Hagdorn was reluctant to go into specifics (on personal grounds), but said that he wanted to break it if it develops into a trade story. Does anyone know anything?
(& yes i know - its a crumpet / Hardie story so may well be BS, but they've been pretty strong on it)

Taylor can delete this if she wants but given people are going to ask a million questions until we get there anyway and she's not breaking my confidence, the rumor is that Blakely slept with Langdons ex 3 weeks after they broke up and the team was not happy about it.

I heard this rumour three weeks ago.

I am not saying its true or not, but that is the story

What has that got to do with the team? (Short of further information)

 

[Quokka]

Ha tell Langdon we'll ship Blakely to the Dees if Ed stays, seemed to work well the last time.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

What has that got to do with the team? (Short of further information)

Same thing that it had to do with the team when Carey did a worse version of the same thing.

Clubs are like family and the group wouldnt be too happy if it were actually true

Carey slept with his best mates wife. Blakely started a relationship with a team mates. ex. I fail to see the similarity.

 

[showemhowtorock]

he is supposed to be Ed's best mate, they travel together every off season. If true, CB is a piece of s**t.

They broke up

It's a dog act mate. Don't do that to your mates. Footy clubs are like family. Connor has skipper training to surf and now slept with a mates ex.....seems like an interesting person to put it very nicely

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

They broke up

To be honest, I'm more towards your side if anything. They broke up, no one has possession over anyone BUT the correct way to go about it would be asking Langdon if it was ok, which, by the sounds of it, he didnt, and it wasnt

 

[showemhowtorock]

They broke up

I get that the instinct is to defend the player, but lets not act like eagles supporters for a minute and defend anything like crazy.
Its a dog act, and its ****ed

It isn't a dog act mate. It was two free adults who fancied each other and they got together. Ed doesn't own her because he dated her in the past. Nathan Lyon is dating M Marsh's ex.

He didn't need approval. At a stretch he could have told him I am going to ask her out.

 

[Purpellian Anchor]

I won't break the confidence of those who have shared the details of this story with me but suffice to say the player in question is considered overrated by this board and wouldn't be in our top ten.

yes I would accept pick 2 for him

 

[Cesoir]

If this only happened a few weeks ago, surely that has no bearing on Langdon's decision to leave - that was a given some time ago. If true, I'd suggest Connor leave the grass cutting to Sandi.

Did I miss when the rumour was confirmed?

 

[Swiggy]

Can we not post these crap rumours on here both those 2 man from 6pr said 8 players wanted out. Most have been re-signed. 2 are leaving because they want to leave in Melbourne. Wouldn’t believe a word they have to say

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Did I miss when the rumour was confirmed?

Not confirmed but I've now heard it from 3 entirely different sources, Taylor, a different group of people and Hackdorn.

Doesnt look good tbh

 

[GingerDocker]

There's no right or wrong here and the potential fallout will only be determined by how it is viewed through the social fabric and interpersonal dynamic within the playing group. Personally, I think it's a bit provocative, but essentially ok, as she is definitely not owned by Langdon and as apuchar said, they are both adults who are free to pick and choose who they sleep with.

My only issue is the decision making skills on Blakely's part...I wish they'd improve a little.

 

[Cesoir]

Confirmed on not, it has been on 6PR. Let's hope for Connor's sake that Predominantly Penis doesn't hear about it or he will have to listen to us and take action.

 

[Taylor]

Blakely's ball use would always be best described as questionable.

 

[mike91]

It isn't a dog act mate. It was two free adults who fancied each other and they got together. Ed doesn't own her because he dated her in the past. Nathan Lyon is dating M Marsh's ex.

Geez, if you think sleeping with your mates ex, just 3 weeks after breaking up is fine, then that's seriously messed up bro. Never do that to a mate. Seems like the players agree

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Not a great thing to do if true but hardly a trade the guy type error.

 

[Taylor]

From the other side of it, if you wanted to hurt your ex the first stop is one of his best mates. Don't get used guys.

 

[Yeti]

So if this rumor is true and it happened 3 weeks ago why have there been rumblings all year about Langdon to Melbourne?

 

[Purpellian Anchor]

Groan, gee what a crap year for the club...club needs a Labrador, supposed to be good for you to have around when depressed
