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!

Geelong doing their usual paying under and saying its a greatly overs, get ****ed.

Hopefully we have.
So over this team thinking they can road run everyone.......

 

[ferrisb]

Saints eye off a player and then walk away.

They just gave Aleer a leer...

 

[Rosscoe 17]

Walsh
Cripps
Jagga
Hewett
Cerra
Lord

Butters
Cody
Ainsworth

surely too many midfielders???

 

[BlueJim95]

Just to put the geelong offer of three first round picks in perspective, that's basically the same as what they got for Tim Kelly

14, 24 and 37 in 2019 and an F1 that ended up at 18 in 2020

 

[17in25]

This is great for us. Two clubs in contention chasing our contracted dual coleman winner outbidding eachother. We will get more here. Music to my ears. Not even the weekend!!!

 

[bigblueboy]

What is this infinite money glitch the saints have acquired? This is getting outta hand

Money is not the issue with getting deals done for the Saints.

 

[Styxx]

Wait so all it would have taken is a future 2nd round pick to get Leek Aleer and the saints baulked after spending 5 million?

Should we just make an offer like that? Think he would make us better

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Mackie can GAGF!!!

 

[Diamond Jim 007]

Geelong picks are all late first round most likely.
Pushed further back by academy and father son.
Only reason would be worth it if Butters came to Carlton and Port took the picks.

 

[DZ4]

Our 2026 2nd probably holds more value due to the strength of the draft and the significant Tassie concessions in 2027 which will likely push Sydney's 1st into the 30s.

There will be 7 additional first rounders in 2027, I think it is unlikely the Swans first blows out into the 30s especially with the new DVI and rules around matching bids. There would have to be a heap of band 1 free agents for that to happen.

4 of those Tassie first rounders have to be traded. Having an additional first in 2027 could allow us to move on a later first and a player for pick 5 , 7, 11 or 13. I think the flexibility could be handy in our first draft for 2 years with no elite father son.

But ultimately, Sydney’s 2027 first could be anywhere from pick 1 to say 28, our 2026 second will not be any lower than 19 and could be as high as 40. Give me the first and the death ride in that scenario even if we need to wait 12 months.

 

[gbatman]

Curnow has to be close to 0 chance getting to Geelong and I think the Cats know this. I think they are playing games, doing us a favour or they are trying to manipulate the draft in some way. Either way, it's good for us.

The way I see it is something like this:

Out:
Sydney: pick 11, Warner, F 1st
Carlton: Curnow
West Coast: Pick 2

IN:
Sydney: Curnow
Carlton: Pick 2, Pick 11, F 1st
West Coast: Warner

I can see us adding our F2nd if one of the clubs decides the trade is unbalanced or will we be sending someone like Hollands or McGovern into one of the deals?

Then...

We take our currency and enquire about Butters, mainly with pick 2 on offer. Or we use it in the draft OR we try and split it, a mid first this year that clubs first next year.

Just on our potential outgoing players. Should we be worried that we have heard nothing about Hollands, McGovern or Acres?

I think for anyone to get Curnow, there needs to be an early first involved.

 

[bigblueboy]

Any hints?

The offer reported this afternoon is just the start. There are players (not necessarily to us) that Geelong is happy to shift.

crippa and George arent playing forever

 

[Coops93]

We can scoff and laugh, but what else do we expect from Geelong? Not meant in a bad way, more that's actually about all they can do if they aren't offering players. Throw all their best picks at us - which aren't good enough, and they likely know that, it's just all they have.

A shy at the stumps is about all it is. No thanks.

They can't offer more than that without trading players.

Goes to Swans or stays

 

[ctwenty1]

14, 24 and 37 in 2019 and an F1 that ended up at 18 in 2020

so I'd argue not too far off?

 

[Aphrodite]

Butters went out for dinner with Chris Davies and Michael Voss last night.

Interesting username & 1st post!

 

[Blue__Balls]

Ok I’ve figured it out.

Warner to WCE for 2.

Sydney send us F1

WCE send us Warner and 2.

Simple.

West Coast:

 

[SolGoodman]

As C4[2]Yo`DooR & Soapy V have said, the Cats offer isn't the final deal, however, it is the party starter.

Thanks Mackie.

I want to know where the other 357 insiders are and why arent they posting on BF?

 

[esoteric]

It’s all part of the relief package the AFL are sending their way for the inconvenience of yesterday.

Yep, AFL is also giving them a retrospective band 1 compo pick for Hawkins retiring unexpectedly.

 

[Red_man2008]

Just to put the geelong offer of three first round picks in perspective, that's basically the same as what they got for Tim Kelly

So if they can somehow double this deal we might take a little look.

 

[bigblueboy]

Why would we be involved in any transaction that benefits saint kilda if the end result for us is astronomical?

We couldn’t give a stuff about St Kilda and what they get - it’s all about extracting the best deal for us.
Geelong players being put on the block is a substantial shift.
Despite their offer today, they know that they need to get creative to get Marshall and Curnow. And they are desperate for both.

It goes well beyond the draft picks Tassie are receiving. There will be a lot more compensation picks in 2027 due to Tassie picking up a lot more players than a standard year. They'll also be pre-listing some of the better players as 17 year olds taking a heap of quality out of that draft. Clubs know this and will value 2027 future picks accordingly.

 

[mrkyuss]

would almost prefer next year's WCE instead of 2

Yeah that’s the one we want .
