Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVIII

#BUMP from February


Re: 'Alleged' rumours resurfacing ...

Folks, this is the way things are here.

Posters are responsible for what they post. Moderators can not attest to the accuracy or otherwise of any rumour posted.

Moderators will intervene for a couple of reasons.

1. If a thread is threatening to be derailed because of a post.

2. If invested parties request the removal of material.

None of this draws a conclusion as to the accuracy or otherwise of the original post.

There is no need to further speculate. What will be will be.

Also, you need to remember that this thread like all parts of this forum is bound by the rules of poster conduct. If you want to express skepticism towards a rumour that's fine, but having a crack at posters who are contributors to this forum is simply not on and will be acted upon.

Simply put, don't be a dick.

Thanks all!

Running Pies pre-season program doesn’t show me why Skipworth should run our football program.

Why shouldn't he more importantly?

All well and good to not want him but realistically none of us have a clue if he's a gun or shite.

Skipwowoth didn't get the West Coast gig... Ummmm

Maybe, they thought he lacked charisma.

I googled to find who was on the selection committee for the West Coast job.

Got a humorous answer

I get the feeling that’s why Cook has stayed on until August 15. To use his previous Geelong leverage with the likes of Bartel, Selwood & Enright. Maybe even Lappin & Scarlett.

Stayed until 15th Aug, he brought forward his exit from Oct.

 

[oldgoat]

If the club does go full rebuild. It sounds like Cripps is willing to help the club out and get the best deal the club can get. If he’s not fussed what WA team he ends up at

we are...not bothered either
No ta.

* Opens no discussion thread to read new post this morning. And…… unclench *

It’s a good rumour for once.

 

[Schoonerman]

Collingwood would hold the door open for Skipworth.

Here he is

 

[tarczonandjane]

If Yazz says Lloyd and Voss are done, then Lloyd and Voss are done.

The follow up point about Skipworth is exactly why I am not worried about Melbourne sacking Goodwin. As I suspected, we are already well down the track on our coach search. If anything, the Dees went for the sacking so they could try and catch up to us. They are in no way ahead.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

It would be genuinely hilarious if he came to Carlton.

Smart trading (e.g. Bryce Gibbs deal).

Every recruiter has done something dumb... on more than one occasion too...

Especially over that length of time. There are other smart trades he has made and the Crows list is in pretty good shape.

Wouldn't be my first choice, but wouldn't be upset if we got him.

Matthew Egan?

 

[I bleed Blue]

I heard he moved onto a vacuum cleaning business, but it really sucked...

I recently started a yacht building business in my attic.

Sails have gone through the roof!!

It has been said that Skipworth's best assets are his tactics and modern game plans.

Where have I heard this before …

 

[RPCB]

Posted this about him in the coach thread:

Hayden Skipworth:

• Elite in systems, stoppages, & structure
• Brings calm, clarity, and leadership maturity
• Strong rapport with players
• Harvard/Columbia-trained in leadership & performance psychology

tbh, these traits are exactly what we're looking for...

Michael Voss was trained by Ken Hinkley.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Michael Voss was trained by Ken Hinkley.

The same Ken Hinkley who spends his off-season doing professional development from a caravan park every year.

Yes. So you see… Hayden Skipworth has nothing on Michael Voss. He had the greatest teacher.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

whats a skipworth

Depends on how many m3 it is.

Yep. The person who brought up this gem last year. Posted on Saturday morning. Confirmed to be correct on Tuesday morning.

Blues and Eagles have agreed on Pick 12 & 14 for 3, 63,68 and a mid range pick that eagles will get in as part of player movement to cover F&S points. Expect announcement Tuesday.

Draft Target is currently Lalor over O’Sullivan but is close and strong debate internally - either way club extremely happy !

Believe 1 of those 2 players will go pick #1#1.

Lloyd wont be at club at end of 2025. Both parties agree time for change in that role.
Timing with wright being managed.

Rob Inness has reviewed Blues fitness program from last year - significant change coming in both weights room and core strength work …….. Players fit but bodies not match hard and some key list indicators well off Swans levels as a collective !

Enjoy 2025 - Internally very confident !

My sig says enough for me!

We are one of the clubs going after Max Gruzewski (GWS).

Charlie replacement?

Why we would we be going for another forward…….

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

He’s a swingman. Was drafted as a KPD

 

[TheThunderboltKid]

It's shocking to me that an 80 year old David Parkin and a man with an 80 year old brain in Greg Williams, weren't able to select a coach who could come up with a modern game plan.
