Rumour Bluemour Discussion XL - ‘Silly Season’ in full swing 😱

#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!

According to Jon Ralph it’s official and HereComesJuddy it’s already done.

hcj didn't say it's already done...

He said trading Charlie will happen.

He also said he'd prefer if the club tried to work Dattoli into the deal too.

He also said a lot depends on whether Hayward actually wants to leave.

A lot to play out still...

Huge, huge no to Shiel.

Why would you?

Rather Shiel than Jones. Just to give an extra mature body to play mainly VFL and be injury cover for 5-10 games next year.

 

[macky99]

They are cooked. Danger is near the end. Cameron likewise. Average midfield and no ruckman.

Pretty sure similar comments have been made for the last 10 years.
They will get Marshall from the Saints.
Don't under estimate how good Brisbane are, they have another couple of premierships in them.

Watching the 95 grand final yet again and Michael Sextons first quarter was bloody huge!!

Great player..
We came close to losing him though, luckily we didn't.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

I think HCJ’s point is that a trade will get done

Not necessarily taht trade, but that a trade will get done

HCJ said yday that that’s what will get it done. I hope not

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I'd want a little more than that if im being honest.. reckon it's close though..

There's a lot to play out still...

Sydney, like the other clubs are posturing.

Reality is, when a talent like Charlie Curnow becomes available, it's very rare and they won't want to miss out on the chance.

GC posturing a lot but bringing Charlie Curnow in will be massive for them.

Sydney are desperate for a gun KPF...

If we trade Charlie, we'd want it to work toward getting a pick before the Dean bid this year and an F1.

Sydney might send the Warner bros to WCE for their pick #1 or F1 + #19, forward that #1 or WCE F1 + Swans F1 to us for Charlie + our F2...

Of course, as I've been harping on about, my preference would be to get as many F1's as we can, especially if it's WCE's...

I agree - I hope for more too

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

I agree - I hope for more too

Bailey Humphrey and Jed Walter should be the offer and if we need to add our first pick with something else coming our way then so be it.

How the **** do these clubs do it.

 

[Dominator_7]

Let the bidding for Charlie begin

 

[BrianSetzer]

Let the bidding for Charlie begin

Insane, so envious, I'm praying to see 1 more in my lifetime.

 

[RattAttack]

I still have my fingers crossed for Humphrey. EB doesn’t get too many wrong

Brisbane Lions are a phenomenal team, so much talent they’re just bursting with natural ability and speed an amazing outfit and next year they’ll add Allan , Draper and another top 5 gun youngster, Daniel Annabel at the draft.
No team will get close to them , especially with the finals experience they’ve accumulated.

Absolutely…

Already looking like the next Penrith but in afl

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Is it just me or is that Nick Austin and Graham Wright in the background

Academies, father sons, financial assistance from the AFL etc

Oscar Allen and Draper won't get a game for the Lions. Not sure why they're going there.

I'll give you a big hint- it has nothing to do with their coach or game plan.

 

[Opium]

Agree. Oscar Allen is an average footballer

Don't under estimate how good Brisbane are, they have another couple of premierships in them.

This sh1ts me probably as much as the Storm playing NRL finals every year for decades would to a QLD/NSW supporter.

Which brings me around to accelerating the league equalisation policies more.
How about the AFL restricts clubs that finish top 4 or 6 from Band 1 eligible free agency trades.
Heavily reducing the incentive that the most successfull teams have of raiding the top players from the lower clubs with the lure of Premierships and also not adding to the first round compensation picks that further disadvantage the lower/mid clubs.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Max Holmes.
Come on down

He’ll fit right in, skills were abominable today

 

[Lukeblueboy]

I did notice he butchered a few

I think any sort of compensation for a player out of contract is absolutely ludicrous to start with. They should just kill it. period.

not only that but openly speculated about the darkers side maybe wishing his team didn't win a flag when he was dropped for the GF a couple of years ago....weirdo

 

[DrTrain]

Is there a 2026 draft thread? I don’t understand who or why we are trying to get a pick before dean over aiming for future picks in Cody’s draft!
