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!

They can't move on Steele so can't afford what they offered.

So now they have made any future pursuit of players that much harder.

Schmooze a player most of the year then say no when a player or 2 (contracted) of theirs doesn’t want to leave to free up coin.

Love it

I think they've just cooked themselves

Well that and they clearly re-prioritised to get Flanders and maybe JSOS late, so sucked up all their available funds

Absolutely - was doing an admirable job in Taylor's absence this year. Reckon Weitering and he would do well together. If we could jag him with the JSOS pick, I'd do it.

Not for $900k though...

 

[Blue and Silver]

Giants will need to move on at least one of Aleer and Derkson.

They picked up Laverde to cover their loss and can't have that many key backs

Apparently GWS were asking for a future 2nd from the Saints, probably a bit too pricey for what we're looking to do this trade period but I certainly wouldn't be against it.

 

[bradfisher14]

I sincerely hope we ask the question of Leek Aleer. Certainly not for the salary that StK were offering though.

Prefer Derkson at the bargain basement price he will be at.

Swingman type

 

[Blue and Silver]

Reckon SOS will look at Gov for cheap?

We've offered a 2nd for Buku. Leek is a better player with a higher ceiling. I would give a 2nd for him without hesitation.

The real question is around contract given what StK were offering him.

 

[Stormzy]

We gotta ask the question regarding Aleer

 

[Coops93]

Sleeping giant is more apt. Time to wake the **** up though.

Definitely this, we saw the wave come through and it got us to a pre-lim. We have a huge base just waiting to climb up with the team.

I think what has made the last yr or 2 even more deflating, perhaps more than the previous drops, is that it seemed like we had actually finally woken up and fans were ready for it. Instead, we've slipped back down, which has (rightly imo) caused even more angst.

 

[bigdog43]

Aleer is exactly what North Melbourne need, surely they make a play

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Only matters now what GWS are offering him

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Does that mean they want Dean enough to make a move for him?

 

[Moon]

I think you would only make him Captain if he recommits

Why is that ...after 7 years of loyal service ... Walsh hasn't yet earned it and we can't trust him.
Has to re-commit to prove himself worthy ... hmm chicken or the egg first? You first Sam mate
