Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[Jatz]

Port can match the offer for Butters and force a trade.

Sorry, right you are.

In that case it makes it far less likely he leaves this year I'd guess. They just need to make sure they can match the deal next off season then.

Port can match the offer for Butters and force a trade.

Hinkley would be senior assistant or mentor type role, given Davies already HoF?

 

[RPCB]

Port can match the offer for Butters and force a trade.

They can, but they probably won’t if the offer is in the $1.5-2 million a year range.

[BIuebagger]

Ok, so this is what I’ve been told:

• We’re in deep discussions with Butters.
• McGovern gone.
• Hinkley a big chance to come on board.

#Blu#Bluemour

So, if it’s for this year, this would be the type of magic I want Austin to work if it’s at the expense of Curnow going.

 

[carlton_99]

What would the role be for Ken? HoF now filled. Senior assistant?

 

[Accidental genius]

We’ll be tge Temu Port Adelaide football club tge way we’re going

 

[ESKIE]

Omg butters
I love that guy

 

[BlueLocke]

Still don't think Butters will move but I'm glad we're reportedly having the discussion with him.

Personally think Port would be insane not to cash in now, rather than losing him for a pick next season but they're within their rights to do that.

Butters is probably my favourite non-Blues player and even though I know it's a pipe-dream, a midfield of Butters, Smith, Walsh, Cripps (and then Walker) really makes my Navy bulge Blue; the caveat is he probably costs two top 10 picks (or equivalent) and $2million a year. Saints really broke the market for individual players this year; not convinced that'll translate to team success.

Great start to our off season trading so far…

Wonder who is next

Petruccelle isn't confirmed any more than Butters at this stage

 

[SolGoodman]

We’ll be tge Temu Port Adelaide football club tge way we’re going

Wait, why are we the Temu version?

Pretty sure we're better than them, making us the real Port Adelaide. Cheers.

Reads like a list of squatters.

 

[ESKIE]

I do I lerve him

 

[Coops93]

All the talk about Walter, but had anyone actually said it's on? Afaik the only reason it's a discussion is because Jay Clark quoted is own article saying Carlton would maybe consider him - that's it. Nothing about the Suns actually thinking about that, or Walter wanting out, or Carlton actually considering it beyond Jay's speculation

 

[SolGoodman]

Reads like a list of squatters.

Maybe, but they're our squatters TODN.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

They can, but they probably won’t if the offer is in the $1.5-2 million a year range.

Absolutely they would. They have plenty of cap space.

 

[found object]

They can, but they probably won’t if the offer is in the $1.5-2 million a year range.

I think they could…

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Can’t Remember who.
But there’s been a couple of itk’s on here mentioning butters.
Maybe where there’s smoke there’s some fire

 

[RPCB]

Absolutely they would. They have plenty of cap space.

I think they could…

Okay then! Let’s recruit him this year.

 

[Jatz]

Also wouldn't surprise me to see Zac wait and see what Carr shows next season.

If he genuinely believes they're heading in the right direction, I'm sure he'd be more likely to hang around.

I've never got the impression he's desperately trying to get back to Melbourne.

 

[Red_man2008]

really need to find a serious hard nut for our list in '26.

Think Duigan, Hickmott.... it makes such a difference to the team mentality...

Jack Ison is a mongrel

 

[BlueLocke]

What would the role be for Ken? HoF now filled. Senior assistant?

Possibly Aaron Greaves role? Head of Coaching Performance and Innovation.

 

[Bluebag13]

Possibly Aaron Greaves role? Head of Coaching Performance and Innovation.

Agree. But they did mention changes not only to personnel but also to the structure of the coaching team so could be a completely new role

 

[Blue and Silver]

I've figured it out.

Elijah and Motlop to Port for Zak Butters
