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!

What the hell is he doing going back to Moe????

Surely you could think of 10,000 places you'd rather be, even if you did grow up there??

Pretty ignorant comment by you, good to see he is grounded and hasn't forgotten his family and friends.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Obviously a lie. Nobody likes Voss.

Hayward's not a gun...

I hope you city ##### remember. A Gippsland man don't need you around anyhow

 

[Michael Jezz]

I hope Crippa has had a coffee date with him.

Crippa is not a great salesman

Bizarre that the Pies are campaigning for Humphrey. Genuinely what would they have to offer GC to turn their heads and trade a contracted young gun?

 

[Accidental genius]

I disagree.

Think he’d need a lot more game winning moments to break even.

No arguments from me.

I wouldn’t call them match winning moments but he does have a tendency to surprise…both good and bad

 

[carlton_99]

I disagree. Would be amongst the best in the AFL in his position

To raise the stakes for any team thats going to get him?

They have no picks and no players other than glue factory candidates

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Oscar Allen has kicked more than 30 once in a season, and West Coast gets pick 2 for him

And an ongoing debilitating knee, great player before the ongoing injury over the past few years..

not great, good...

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.

He’s met with MFC & Collingwood that we know of..

Hawks the same when they have gone all out for Merrett.

 

[jooce8891]

Hawks the same when they have gone all out for Merrett.

They're all convinced that pick 8, CJ, Mackenzie, Hustwaite and Serong will get them both

 

[GoBlues!]

Dinner date with Vossy tonight

What time is the booking Aph?

I heard there are 3 seating timeslots for three clubs to pick from - 6.00pm, 7.30pm and 9.00pm...

 

[The Bighouse]

Ainsworth, eh?

Goal a game small forward who can push into the middle, 27yo, VIC origins.

Stylistically I think he's Motlop-esque, but on statistical output is comparable to the slightly more damaging Williams.

If he's cheap so GC can clear some cap space, I'll take him for a late pick, to bolster our small forward stocks. But I'm not sure he's enough better than Motlop for us to pay anything of worth just for one of them to be sitting in the twos each week.

Doesn’t really impact, seems error prone / or MIA when the heat is on.
Overpaid to remain at GCFC previously.
Pass.

 

[macky99]

Charlie for Ainsworth, Humphrey and a future first (which should be 18 imo with their player improvements)

If they add petracca and Curnow who is beating them.

lt seems Sydney are more keen than Gold Coast so that looks unlikely.
Brisbane is some way in front of Gold Coast whoever they add.

 

[The Bighouse]

Interesting that Carlton we standing next to Brisbane 15 years ago while they got a leg up with the Northern academy and 15-20 first round draft picks since. They’ve now won 2 premierships, played in one more and made prelims in 4 other years since. Now GC were standing next to us as recently as 5 years ago. Their northern academy has gifted them more but they’ve also had awesome packages gifted to them from the afl allowing them countless hits at the best kids in the country. We on the other hand have made 1 prelim and we’re gone again.

Is in the years to come we are likely going to see QLD teams in prelims and GFs and premierships only really going out of Victoria while we start again AND again.

I just want one more. I’d settle for a GF Loss to GC.

Made a better decision with their coach at the time and built from the ground up..

We could have done the same but employed the wrong people, though their CEO was ex-CFC..

SOS also has a lot to answer for!

Themselves like always…..

Believe there may be a local young lady to look forward to (and the races)..

 

[katmanblue]

So his manager saying he hasn’t met with any clubs was a lie.

Unheard-of.

Must be the first time a manager has lied, ever.

 

[DangerousD]

I would suggest that the main crux of a deal between Melb and the Suns is agreed to. A contracted star player in Trac wouldn't nominate one club if there wasn't guarantee that a deal was done. This news happens to fall on the same day where we are told of the seriousness of Humphrey looking elsewhere. It's pretty obvious what is happening here...

But only the top clubs can attract players apparently

Saving the best until last - 9.00pm GB

Would only consider him as a dump as part of a Humphrey trade

How does it raise the stakes when everyone knows they’re bluffing and can’t outbid anyone?
