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!

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

Some dollars off the books for them would assist to balance for their incoming $$$$$’s.

 

[Wickzki]

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

Who the **** knows what's going on anymore

Manager is running a clown show from the outside looking in

Why release a comprehensive statement only for this to happen?

Edit/add: will stand by the info I was given -- until its final we won't give up. Consider me a fool for taking a managers statement as a "final "

 

[BlueTongue]

If the club saw a need to bring in a short term option whilst O'Farrell and Dean mature then I'd hope that they were looking at a better option than Phillips. As much as I dislike him surely May would be a better option as a "bridge" for a couple of years than Phillips. He's a bit of a knob but he's got mongrel in him.
Never quite worked out this FOMO that people have about players in our reserves.

I'd have no problem with May for a year or two, but whether he and Weiters can work together (both Angry Bulls) is another thing.

My point is, we have a classic 'Gift Horse' here. What are we going to do?

Crazy shit going on this trade period! I’ve got no idea lol

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Tom Morris saying he will be meeting with all 4 clubs, us included.

Surely it’s time for The Carlton Crew to “add value” to this negotiation.

Just don’t let him leave…

 

[Benaly28]

The only two clubs I can see doing a deal are us and Dees.

Pies don’t have the collateral and hawks are committed to Merret.

Dees is an easy sell.The midfield is yours Bailey.Plus they have draft picks.

In the past if a manager came out and released that type of statement you could close the book.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Hayward's not a gun...

DON'T LOOK AT IT'S MOUTH!!!

Yeah but…zero chance of playing in a premiership …ever.

Diabolical club culture.

(Yes, much worse than ours).

 

[NavySteel]

What’s our compo for J$O$?

Any chance to split that pick for more picks?

Pick 19.

Becomes pick 173 after academy pics.

I think our culture will improve with the outs after the trade period.

Two players especially.

Gold.

Curnow and Acres?

 

[Juddrockz]

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

Future picks,player/s? Its not over until its over. Look at the Cats.

 

[No1Suspect]

Hopefully we don't fall asleep on Ben Ainsworth. Worth a good look.

Fogarty out Ainsworth in

 

[Carltonfc9]

Few whispers going around carlton keen on getting Humphrey and keeping curnow

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Is O'Keefe in the next push or do we need another KPF?

With Charlie likely going and Lemmey delisted our list is at least 2 KPF’s light…

 

[Benaly28]

Curnow and Acres?

Plays for another team now.

 

[Juddrockz]

I wouldn't have thought that could happen with Cody coming in.

 

[Premiership Quarter]

Yep offer Dekoning pick for Hump and keep Curnow all of a sudden pretty dangerous

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

not great, good...

Was on the cusp of breaking out into a very good player…

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I’m not a Hayward fan. Just don’t believe he will give us the x-factor we need.
I’d want a better return player wise than Hayward and Florent for Charlie.
Sydney’s Round 1 picks this and next year are a given but not content with these 2.

We don't need X Factor. We need a better friggin team from front to back. Hayward makes us a better team IMO

 

[Sam The Doc]

Unrelated but surely you’d prefer a consistent good ruck like Marshall vs an inconsistent VERY expensive ruck (who ofcourse has some blinders )
Can’t believe they’ve gone down this path
