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!

27 goals in 14 games.

Rushed back for a final completely underdone and is one of two Crows to kick multiple goals

Yeah, overrated

Would absolutely take him - has a heap of talent, and is the exact type we need.

 

[Blue since 72]

8th best defender in the draft?

Maybe he'll slide to the rookie draft!

You watch yourself young fella, no need for that kind of levity in here.

The response to the original post reminds me of the time a mate's wife said to my mate, "I suppose you think I'm fat, ugly, and stupid".

His response: "You're not stupid"

Unless Jed Walter or Ethan Reed change their minds are say they want to leave it’s looking like a one horse race (Swans) for Charlie but it’s just a possibility at this stage because Charlie hasn’t officially nominated a preferred club and hasn’t actually committed to going to Sydney yet. Swans need Charlie to officially chose the swans so they can put together serious offers - Cal Twomey

 

[Treesloth]

Twomey is more misses than hits this time of year. He's saying what clubland is telling him, which is whatever they want to be said. He's also an Essendon supporter who loves to throw shade when he can, and everyone with a pulse knows panicking Carlton supporters is easy viewership and revenue.

Even if it winds up being line ball, I'd much rather we had a strategy prepared for the night than trade out now, unless an absurd deal comes our way in the next week or so. Much more keen on us turning only one of the TDK and Sydney picks into a higher selection, and then rolling the dice.

Those pick positions are gold in this draft, and they're not to be frittered away on a whim.

Have never once heard Twomey throw shade at any supporter base. Best journo going round IMO.

His history of getting at least the top 10 on draft night correct is pretty bloody good so if he reckons a Dean bid comes before our first pick I’d back it in to happen.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Rachele seems like a guy I would hate to spend an evening with.

Great player though, and nothing in his off-field stuff which is an actual red flag for mine

Hopefully being dropped for not being "team first" was a wake up call

 

[TENACIOUS]

We’ve gone from the “Carlton Giants” under SOS, to the “Carlton Power” since Voss.




Think a “free” Burton, is a smart decision, he’s elite by foot, which we lack out of defence.

Charlie probably hasn’t nominated a preferred club because he’s resigned to it not being Geelong.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Riley Beveridge saying we are now out of the Sam Flanders race.

That's like me withdrawing from the Olympic 100m qualifiers.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Damn it.

It was before my time and I am not a soap opera guy.

Those shows are all the same to me, like Days of our Bold and Beautiful Lives....

He can take McGovern's spot in the rehab room

 

[Tommy Alvin]

Happy to be surprised if Rachele not only came to Carlton, but wasn't a whipping boy within a year.

They could just ask him

 

[bluekidjoe]

Florent has talent and is a solid role player. Cant judge this year, even their stars had shockers.
2x1sts + Florent + another role player would be enough.

We get the extra first for Cody next year, and we end up with 10, 11 and 20 this year after compo.
Wonder if 10, 11, 20 + Gov could net us pick 2, 22 and Chesser.
Gets us ahead of a Dean bid.

Why?

 

[Dominator_7]

Getting both Burton and Rochelle at a suitable cost makes us a better squad. Better depth was the objective, yeah ?
Saints trying to buy relevance with all these crazy cash offers.

I just can’t see how the Saints are going to manage their salary cap

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

We won't be going to draft with TDK pick

No one should be shocked with this.

I assume it gets packaged with maybe a Sydney pick 9 to move up the draft ahead of a Dean bid?

 

[bluekidjoe]

10 + 11 + 24 + Gov for WCE F1 + 36 + Chesser

Agree with investing in next year re Cody points and draft talent, but we’ll still need a pick to match for Dean this year.

Cal Twomey said yesterday it would be used for a future pick

So no Dean?

 

[Blue_Fusion]

36 + 37 + 40 (it'll come down here given the other clubs using picks to match their bids)

= ~850 points

We can get our hands on a few more 3rd rounders.

Or keep pick 21 and offer our F2 instead

Point is, target that WCE F1, worry about that stuff later.

 

[NavySteel]

Where did the Rachele talk come from?

 

[JimmyRabbit49]

2 firsts is a good starting point from the Swans, if they get Charlie though youd expect their F1 will be weaker so they have to find another first IMO. Adding in Campbell to that would get pretty close you'd think.

We don't want picks (given our father son positions) we want players - unless we have a third party deal wanting picks lined up I can't see us that interested in 2 first rounder
