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!

I assume 2025, 2026 and 2027 1sts.

Then Ill assume we tell them to GAGF

 

[Blue and Silver]

I guess we are moving through the formalities

 

[HereComesJuddy]

3 1sts from the Cats puts the pressure on Sydney.

This is going to be fun to watch

Jeremy Cameron was a restricted free agent and still got 3 first round picks.

Charlie is contracted for 4 years and if true we are accepting 2 picks in the teens and Hayward who is a good player.

We have been adamant the whole way thru we want A grade talent back if we were to even entertain any deal for Charlie so if we accept that deal we have caved and capitulated in my opinion.

We can say NO and walk away, we hold all the power. Not the swans and not Charlie and his manager.

Why do you not add the second rounders going the other way?

 

[Blue and Silver]

Got to wonder if that's 3 picks or two upgrades and 1 pick

 

[Big Delut]

That's not a very enticing deal. Two late teens picks (one in a pretty crappy draft) plus a 2027 first which will be well into the 30s you'd think because of Tassie's picks.

 

[chuncey]

With two 2nd rounders coming back

Two goats butting heads!

 

[lukep_86]

And where do these first rounders come from may I ask?

Came here to ask this.

2025, 2026 and 2027 picks? It's Geelong, I'm sure the AFL would allow it

 

[CFC_#17]

We should not be accepting that deal from the Cats. Three picks in the late teens/early 20s is not significant enough

It’s rubbish, Swans first this year is almost worth more

 

[4thchicken]

Armfield was 100% the correct choice.

Playing squad was a basket case. Armfield led us out of that.

Edited for accuracy. Judd was the steak knives part of the trade

 

[ESKIE]

Speculative picks in the late teens if its theirs over three years..

Nah sorry you’ll need to sell the ‘Farm” thanks handbaggers

 

[Sonny Jim]

Bad deal.
No thanks.
That offer is hot garbage

 

[Soapy V]

So much can be done with those picks. We will also have money. Brings names like Butters into play.

I don't think it does at all. Sydney's 2025 1st is much better than Geelong's. Their 2026 pick I'd say would be projected to be better than Geelong's. IMO a player like Hayward would be much more valuable than Geelong's 2027 1st which will likely be well into the 30s due to Tassie's concessions.

Would be tempting if there was even a hint of a significant drop off for Geelong over the next few years, but you begrudgingly admire that it’s just not gonna happen

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Ross the Boss put in his place by the Cats over Marshall. Wouldn’t think the Blues would be happy with this but it might get the saints moving. Hope he makes it to the swans but think it will take pick(s) and player(s).

 

[crazybear]

And where do these first rounders come from may I ask?

 

[mrkyuss]

Thank you Geelong for adding to the bidding. Worth its weight in gold for us - Swans don’t panic ! Let’s add your 27 first too !

 

[crazybear]

25,26,27 first round picks

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Look at the Carlton playing squad in 2008.

Look at the Carlton playing squad in 2025.

Let us know if you notice any differences.

Of course they're different... is that supposed to be a revelation of some sort?

Reality is, we are still way too reliant on a core group of 30+ yr olds...

Bringing in one of the best players sounds nice on paper, but like 2008, the squad isn't in the right bracket to be landing a big star (IMO to please WalshistheGOAT ). We'd have to sell the farm in terms of trade and stump up a massive chunk of our cap.

For what? To cling to a feint hope that the aging core group around him who have proven to be perennial losers continue to stink it up until they retire? No thanks.

There's also the risk to piss Walsh off, like others have already mentioned, look at what the Stains had to do when they're loyal players saw all these big $$$ deals being bandied around for players outside their system...

So we risk losing Walsh, we risk losing insurance to match the Cody bid and we end up nowhere... or maybe we'll meet some people's very low bar of "making finals" ...

Or 2 of those drafts weren’t going to be bastardised by Tassie…their first rounders could be in the 30’s

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Your move Swannies

 

[Gingerbread man]

Not sure how good his mail is but I'm sure he gets some good oil.

Andy Maher was saying that he's 95% confident that the Charlie trade gets done with the deal that's been reported most.

They get Charlie, we get 2025 1st, 2026 1st and Hayward.

Add Aleer to that as well and we are getting closer

 

[NavySteel]

Your move Swannies

Do we do the geelong deal though? I thought our remit was to get players + picks unless we are thinking on on trading?

Everyone responsible would be burned at the stake
