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!

Let her rip then swannies!

 

[Mondyboy]

Not a big possession winner. From what I recall he blazes away far to often.

This is true. He does blaze. Still a massive upgrade on what we have.

 

[Opium]

Is there any move you would approve of Opium?

Just look at his career average. How much scope for improvement does a 28 year old who has played 170 odd games and kicked 140 goals?

 

[We may never win again]

Port - Carl F2, Durdin
Carlton - 29, Ainsworth
GC - 29

As in our f2 and durdin for ainsworth?

 

[BIuebagger]

Durdin out. Ainsworth in. Where is the list spot freed up?

It doesn’t. Bad math haha

 

[Blue_Fusion]

GC

Cool, I suspected that it would be our F2 to get Ainsworth about 20 mins ago.

Yes

 

[Big Delut]

Port - Carl F2, Durdin
Carlton - 29, Ainsworth
GC - 29

Which year F2? If it's Durdin + a 2026 2nd that's quite a bit more than I was expecting to give up for someone like Ainsworth. Probably values him at a late first.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Here is a rumour from left field - Craig McRae to the Blues in 2026. Not sure if he is to replace or support Vossy.

I personally don't believe it, but it came from someone who is highly respected in Australian sport. The bloke has an OAM and a lot of contacts. Not the type I would be expecting to spread BS. He went on to say things are impoding at the Lexus Centre and that Fly and Leppa are at war with each other. This last piece is my favourite part of the rumour!

Not a fan of Fly at all. Hard no from me (not that I get a vote).

Good question - I assumed 2026

 

[Tommy Alvin]

Ainsworth is an upgrade on Durdin.

TA

 

[Mondyboy]

He is only 23 years old and has speed. Not sure why we would trade him for an older slower player

While I love Durds as a person, I always thought we were mad to give him a two year contract. He's show the odd flash, but he's injury prone and goes missing.

 

[El Topo]

Must be pretty confident of the FS changes and a successful Curnow trade if we're spending that much for Ainsworth

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Another culture killer move.

Are you like a real life Eeyore?
Everything is a ****ing misery.

 

[passmark]

Another culture killer move.

Given our culture has been shit for 20 years. Killing the existing culture makes great sense.

thats what it looks like

This is not the question. What sort of move would you approve of?

Look I love durds as much as the next guy but he adds virtually nothing to the list. Plays 1-2 good games a season. He is on the list because of his potential not his output.

What else u got in that sac of yours mate??

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Slower according to what? Ainsworth is just Durdin with a top end tank to play as a HHF.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Hit me with a samboy chip!

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

He is more or less this.

Can blaze away at goal a bit, and his tackling and pressure can go away at times.

Definitely has attitude though

He can be our Zorko

 

[Opium]

That's a terrible deal. We're giving up pick 29?
