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

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!

How do we obtain Khamis/Reidy/Chesser

I think our second rounder will go for Khamis with maybe something coming back.

Future picks for Reidy and Chesser

 

[TPC05]

Our gun recruits for 26!! Only one with upside is Chesser.

Reidy has very solid WAFL stats. (Yes i know WAFL vs AFL)

We have a second rounder ?

 

[Bfevola]

Yes i think we have Brisbanes second. 34.

 

[sweethoney]

We have a second rounder ?

Brisbane’s

 

[AB_Blue]

Brisbane’s

Pick 40 something is probably fair value for Buku….

 

[Dominator_7]

So with the Jack compo being 19, basically it’ll be one F/S out, another one in.

A second rounder for Khamis? Guy is 25 and only played a total of 41 games. I reckon a future 3rd rounder is more than adequate

If the proposed deal with syd is around the mark, would picks 10+11 get us close to Butters?

 

[Wickzki]

Good to see Humphrey's manager put an end to speculation today. Well, not really, but it is what it is.

Went digging last night and the answer was that the club wouldn't give up until it was official. Well, now it is

Best we find the best trades we can now with what's out there on the market.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

I’m choosing to believe this

Could he actually be right this time?

 

[Wickzki]

Could he actually be right this time?

It's been widely reported Essendon have put more money on the table.

Humphreys manager came out and said he's going nowhere.

So not really.

 

[KJP7]

If the proposed deal with syd is around the mark, would picks 10+11 get us close to Butters?

I wouldn't say so, especially with how diluted this draft is.

I'd be expecting that plus a late first in a stronger draft for someone like him. Yep, he's got free agency next year but port will simply match.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Remember butters is still a slim chance as well according to yazz a few days back. Plenty to play out I reckon.
No doubt wright/davies/austin will be up to something

This might work,

Eagles > McDonald, Pick 8 (Sydney), Acres & McGovern
Suns > Pick 2 & Pick 36
Swans > Curnow
Blues > Humphrey, Chesser, F1 (swans) F1 (suns)

Works out:
Allen compo > McDonald, Pick 8 (Sydney) Chesser > Acres & McGovern
Humphrey & F1 > Pick 2 & Pick 36
Curnow > McDonald, Pick 8 & F1 (swans)

Personally don’t want to get rid of Acres one so so season and everyone wants him out the door still need some experience in that area

I think the value of florent is already negligible in that deal.

2 1sts plus Hayward is reasonable. Adding Florent as a salary dump is a freebie. If you swapped florent with somebody who has more value like McInerny, its probably to skewed in our favour.

It should be skewed in our favour.

Florent should be a separate transaction

 

[TommyPinch]

Some Sydney fans reckon with GC and supposedly Geelong out of the race, it weakens our bargaining power on Curnow. Now they’re saying pick 9 and Florent would be enough. Honestly, I’ve heard it all—he’s contracted, and we’re under no pressure to take an unders deal.

 

[Blue__Balls]

If we're getting Butters it's as a free agent next year on the proviso we can be something close to functional on-field in 2026.

Dollars freed up by losing TDK, Curnow and JSOS should put us in a position where we could offer him a deal that Port can't or don't want to match, and if they're shit enough next year as well they might be OK with getting a second top 10 pick as Band 1 compensation in a year where they're potentially matching a top 2 bid for Cochrane (NGA) under the AFL's harsher new bid matching rules.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Sydney fans know that the club is going to pay a lot for Curnow and are trying to believe it won't happen

 

[Blue and Silver]

A second rounder for Khamis? Guy is 25 and only played a total of 41 games. I reckon a future 3rd rounder is more than adequate

It's a second rounder that will be in the 40's.

In a draft which is pretty weak.

For a contracted player.

 

[ctwenty1]

Butters is no chance.

i cant believe its not butters

 

[Red_man2008]

i had a browse of the Sydney Board trade thread the other night re the Curnow trade. As soon as i read that Florent and Hayward are housemates and business partners, it seemed pretty clear to me they could be part of the Curnow trade together.

Carlton have long been interested in Hayward and now seem interested in Florent. The 2 first rd picks, Hayward and Florent would seem a logical trade for a wantaway but contracted Curnow.

I am a fan of Hayward. Im not a fan of Florent. But the Club seem a fan of both.

Dont think we can do better than that for Charlie, and we do badly need the 2 firsts. So it depends if we really really want to keep Charlie when he clearly doesnt want to be coached by Voss anymore.

Id say the above would now be close to a done deal. Imo

So we could go into the draft with potentially:

Pick 9, 10 and 19. Which all should go out between 1-3 spots. And possibly 2 top 10 picks in 2026. Surely that’s enough to get through what we need for Dean, ison and Walker.

I'm not sure it will. There are gonna be quite a few first and second round picks moving to the back end of the draft, so there's every chance it holds it position or even sneaks in a few spots.
