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 ‘monster’ offer

Handbaggers 1st pick is 19 so far as at today

 

[slashin_velvet]

Geelong's 3 first rounders is like when your mum says you can't have chips because you have food at home

 

[Blue_Fusion]

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

How many times is this nonsense going to be spouted out on here?

Official trade:

#13 + #15 + #20 + F4 -> Cameron + F2(Giants) + F2(*)

Those F2's ended up being: #32 + #35

Cameron's value worked out around pick #6.

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

If you're not happy with 2 picks in the teens, why use the Cameron trade as an example? Hayward is better than a pick 20 + F4 and we're not sending two F2's back the other way either...

Need to cool your jets and realise what that actually helps us do:

1. Package #10 + #11 for a better pick in this year's draft, or another F1.
2. Combine our 2026 1st with F1(Swans) to match the Cody bid. Left over points could get us another pick in that draft too
3. Provide a decent medium forward with experience

It's nowhere near as bad as you're making out.

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.

We have obv been posturing... we can't show any weakness otherwise other clubs would come to us with even worse offers... it's a smart and obvious move from Carlton to deny wanting to trade him unless we got a head turning offer...

Let's say we walk away, and King Charles sooks it up again next year... his trade value drops even further.

 

[Leeway]

Can you tell me a deal that was better for a player in the last 10 years?

Weller JHF, Cerra, Flanders, Treloar, Shiel, Saad, Judd, Beams, Dangerfield, Neale, Carey, Kelly, just to name a few.

Success rates and quality of picks in the 20s vs top 10 in any year is a telling factor.

 

[Aphrodite]

Can we stick to 2025 not what happened a decade ago.


Thanks all!

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I assume 2025, 2026 and 2027 1sts.

And of course, AFL will give the tick of approval for that bs because it's the Geebungers...

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Geelong 3 first rounders plus a best 18 player for every smug smartarse Bazwanka instagram post referencing Charlie !!

With the exception of Carey and Judd, none of them at the point in time, had the career accolades that Curnow has.

They’re just silly kids mate.

 

[YeoShuey]

What ‘monster’ offer

Handbaggers 1st pick is 19 so far as of today

But the media...

No club has ever offered 3 first rounds like this

What a joke.

 

[manang magoos]

Have the Saints run out of money paying overs

Here’s SOS,Ross and Gubby over coffee this afternoon

 

[ESKIE]

Geelong have made this offer to change their news cycle they're not serious with this offer

Cerra who went for pick 6 + F3 ?

Saad who went for pick 8 + 87?

Flanders who went for pick 8?

Dangerfield who went for 9 + 28 + Dean Gore?

Treloar who went for 7 + 8 with a 2nd coming back?



How are these in any way better than Sydneys 2025 1st, 2026 1st, Hayward and a pick for Florent/Ainsworth?

 

[Gointocarlton]

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

This is going to be fun to watch

On like donkey kong

 

[bradfisher14]

A fantastic opening bid.

This is going to be fun.

 

[bluebunz]

Cats offer more offensive than their Mad Monday getups

 

[Michael Jezz]

Geelong's offer will flush Sydney"s offer out & it has to be better. It is a step fwd

 

[Gointocarlton]

Ok, 3 firsts then and chuck in Max Holmes and Ill drive Charlie and his belongings to Geelong.

No one wanted to blink, Geel have now its on.

It is 3 2nd rounders. The 2027 pick could be in the 30s

 

[Kruezing]

I would deal with anyone else for a lesser offer than Geeelong just for spite …

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

Yeah this is a little underwhelming imo.

I for some reason still feel like papley name will rare its head a gain at some stage

I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT!!!
He is so yesterday now.
Age and injury has caught up.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

3 picks in the 20s most likely when you take into account tassie and all that … we need to keep one of those for Cody and with Charlie partnering Cameron next year Geelong will win the flag so it’s pick 18 before any bids so in the 20s . Not even helpful for Cody. A pick in the 20s this year and a pick in the 20s next year is useless for us. Tasie the year after and likely a pick in the 20s. No thanks. We’re likely to turn this into Ainsworth and it’d barely help with Cody.

Piss off Geelong ****ing can’t stand the pricks.

They get pinged for cheating the salary cap and then insult us like this in the same week and the media still go gaga over them. F right off!

If Austin does this deal I’ll go bananas

Agree with your points and anger toward the offer...

But let's not be silly and pretend Charlie would have stopped the Brisbane onslaught...

 

[BigFrizz36]

Should still manage a half hour in Tarcutta to pay respects to all the truck drivers who have last their lives at their wonderful memorial.

Agreed. Bit early yet but they also have good cherries come December.

 

[Leeway]

Cerra who went for pick 6 + F3 ?

Saad who went for pick 8 + 87?

Flanders who went for pick 8?

Dangerfield who went for 9 + 28 + Dean Gore?

Treloar who went for 7 + 8 with a 2nd coming back?



How are these in any way better than Sydneys 2025 1st, 2026 1st, Hayward and a pick for Florent/Ainsworth?

One top 10 pick is better than 3 picks 20+.
