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!

If we dont get what we want for Charlie then we keep him. He either shapes up next year or we trade next year.

We cant just give him away. It may be a humbling experience for him given he is a not a priority for teams.

Could of said the exact same thing when gws got hogan

he had nothing on JUH...

I’m choosing to believe this

If you’re the Suns and looking to win a flag in the next 3 years, I would definitely want Curnow and Petracca instead of Walter and Humphrey.

There’s obviously salary cap implications, picks and their academy talents, but IF they have the opportunity to get both they should do it (purely from a neutrals perspective).

Walter yes, Humphrey no.

While Walter clearly has a long way to go, Humphrey is already a huge impact player and is only going to have more impact very, very soon.

I need someone to make a reasonable trade that sends Curnow to the swans but we get humphrey, McInerney, and a F1 some where. I want to dream!

 

[Dominator_7]

Calling the ITKers
We need a bit of sugar right about now

Doesnt get the best mail Paul, pretty hit and miss. But I'll choose to believe this one haha

 

[bluesDeluxe]

No chance we get Humphrey. Delusional to think otherwise

 

[Coops93]

It's also worth pointing out, Humper is contracted until 2028... You think Carlton are playing hardball with Curnow, and the Dees with Petracca last yr, what do you think the Suns will do with one of the most exciting 21 yr olds in the game?

Has he been right about anything?

 

[Blue Doormat]

Or……….. Carlton?

 

[JJBagger]

I’m choosing to believe this

I don’t have any insider knowledge at all, but I reckon my strike rate would be higher than Paul’s

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

If it’s Sydney - Gulden is first wish.

But more realistically, give me every draft pick and throw in Blakey, McInerny or Hayward.

[jooce8891]

pleaseeeeeeee

 

[BennyGFunk]

Time to concentrate on Charlie to the Swans
Flanders more likely to be used in Trac deal than Humphrey
Have a feeling we won’t get what we want for Charlie

Then we simply don’t trade him

Hold him to his contract for a year then trade him for a kings ransom next year to a desperate club - like we did with Gibbs

Simple!

It'd be something like

Carlton give up Curnow + Pick 20 + Pick 37; Carlton gain Humphrey + McInerney + Swans 2026 F1
Swans give up McInerney + 2026 F1; Swans gain Curnow
Suns give up Humphrey + Pick 16; Suns gain Petracca, Pick 37
Melb give up Petracca; Melb gain Pick 16 + Pick 20

Someone help me out here and chop and change the above. Something missing

 

[Ninja Worrier]

^^^^^ We need picks for Dean and ison

 

[Crippa#9]

I'm generally in favour of retaining Charlie.

However, if we could turn him into Humphrey + an F1 (with Cody in mind) that's a good deal for the footy club.

Carlton give up Curnow + Pick 20 + Pick 37; Carlton gain Humphrey + McInerney + Swans 2026 F1

Suns give up Humphrey + Pick 16; Suns gain Petracca, Pick 37

Love it, melbourne get screwed but im more than fine with that

 

[thechef95]

Has he been right about anything?

Strike rate has been good of late

 

[Chemical]

Gulden and Humphrey for Curnow. I can always dream

 

[Juice030103]

I’d imagine he’s gonna be involved in the same deal as petracca

 

[Ninja Worrier]

The only plausible scenario is that GC are desperate for draft capital for petracca and their academy picks and Humphrey prefers CFC

 

[thechef95]

Do they though? They expressed publicly that they are happy to shop him. They've shown their hand in negotiation.
