Re:Charlie

Remember when everyone thought Franklin was going to one club but it was actually the OTHER club.

‘Jungle’ drums might just be beating.

Swapping Charlie for a younger version with GWS?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Presumably Brisbane

 

[ESKIE]

Presumably Brisbane

Makes more sense

 

[The Bighouse]

Presumably Brisbane

Or Carlton?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Or Carlton?

Obviously an option

So we give Charlie (under contract until 2029) and get another under performing small in Bailey (RFA at the end of 2026) who averages 1.09 goals a game. No Thanks. Start with Lohmann and go from there.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

If it is Zak butters then one of George or cerra would need to be involved purely from the fact we would have too many midfielders, especially given lord and smith coming on

Good point

Oscar Allen is going to Brisbane they are not after Charlie .

 

[zeggie]

Don’t understand the ambiguity why not say the name rather than initials.
If the rumour is we are chasing both and will land either one, why not say that?
If the rumour received is by the initial and the poster doesn’t know which one, why not say so?
I like a rumour and happy to debate them but I don’t get why if it shared at all, why it can’t be stated in simple terms without the obfuscation.

As a general rule...How reliable are people that post at 4.00am on a Friday night?

oops! Saturday morning.

Best time to post bluemours. A few beers, a dodgy vindaloo, vivid dreams, wake up and post

First day on the internet mate?

 

[Crippa#9]

50 cents each way

[4flagsin5yrs]

Given I wrote the Original Post - how did you manage to get Matty411 as the OP?

Ah yes, in the box that opens up i had previously started responding to a post by him...so it was all there, when i went to delete his post it deleted your details.... sorry!

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

It's a sign. Tom's staying...

 

[mochacinolatte]

This would be the wildest trades if it comes through

 

[Gethelred]

Why is Butters seen as impossible?

• Voss connection
• Potentially Hinkley connection
• He’s a FA next year, surely Port would rather something substantial this year vs. a random compo next year?
• We have 2x compos coming in

We have enough to make it happen, we’d still have to give up a good player, no doubt.

They would have to be mindsplittingly bonkers cuckoo bananas insane to countenence even considering him leaving. He is what you build around: an uncompromising, consistent, tough, back to the wall motivator with high quality skills and legspeed.

And Brisbane would only be slightly less nuts to get rid of Bailey. He's cream, but you don't go and give a team with clear strengths and deficiencies that you know you can beat at their best a way to turn one of those deficiencies into a strength. It would be a terrible trade for them, one which would result in us getting better and them getting worse in the short to medium term; they would be trading him at his lowest value rather than maximising their return.

I'd love it to be true, I've wanted Butters since he was drafted. But I don't think it's likely.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Would make a sensational small forward

Hands are no good

Question really is does he wnat to stay beyond next year

If as a club you know a player won’t be there, then if you feel you can get more value today than waiting a year, you take the better offer don’t you?

If you're asking me what I'd do, I'd retain him this year and move heaven and earth to get him to stay.

 

[teknodeejay]

It’s very clear they meant Zemplas, Basil is coming to Carlton.

Got bored of parliament?

Like to think there’s a red or green curry, a casket of beers + some up the nose, no sleep and some dodgy goings-on with a little bit of sneaky downtime to throw out a Blumour post in Thailand early morning.
