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 see Ainsworth moreso a Jamie Elliott type. Like Jamie, moved up the ground a bit for some wing action at the same age.

 

[passmark]

This is who comes to mind for me when thinking of Ainsworth as an addition.
Once Frankie was pushed up as hif we played much cleaner with good delivery and output of goals from him.
Having watched a fair bit of GC as a mate is their biggest fan, Ben gives me the same sort of vibes. Effective inside 50 disposal and willingness to take a shot at goal on.
These guys I think will supersede Fogartys role as me has become a little more muted in his effectiveness

True dat

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Durdin feels like a giveway. Not upset.

Assume #67 helps with bid matching.

Helps with the amount of available open list spots atm….

 

[TrueQldBlue]

Ben Camporeale wont get a game next year if we bring him in.

Ainsworth deal done.

Corey Durdin and a future 2nd Round Pick.

This will work out well with better forward 50 delivery to Harry

 

[charred_fate]

Can't believe some of the sooking about the Ainsworth trade. He would have finished 2nd in our goal kicking this year. A future 2nd is fine.

Wait until the Curnow trade goes down

 

[manang magoos]

It has to be a no until future 1st is included. All the other bits can be flexible, but future 1st has to be part of it. The positive from Charlie going is ensuring we can access Cody.

Getting closer

 

[ctwenty1]

Yeah & one of the reasons that people think Voss has no ****ing clue about his players abilities/talents & how to use them is shit like that.

Lord is a player, quicker we embrace that & back the kid in, the quicker we get better.

Absolutely he is player - just hope we have enough depth that he can be managed - he is young an dits a long season

 

[DrTrain]

Feel the trac deal needs to happen next.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Just because we trade Durds doesn’t mean we use that as the comparison/swap for Ainsworth.

Ainsworth is 100% an upgrade on Fog - the team just got better

Think they'll prioritize Oliver to GWS.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

 

[FreeAgent1]

FYI - word is the rowy is going to GC not the blues.

 

[JimmyRabbit49]

Maybe we send back Elijah back for a swap

He could bunk in with JUH

 

[carlton_99]

Would be interested in Hayward as part of the deal. Very good on the ground but also strong overhead. Leads well and is a nice kick.

 

[gbatman]

Ainsworth is probably now our best small forward, he's a good fit for us.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

FYI - word is the rowy is going to GC not the blues.

Hopefully if a trade involves us, it’s Rowbottom to Suns and Walter to Blues.

 

[raymagoo]

Yep hf involvement means less dumping on heads

 

[manang magoos]

If Nick and Chris think Rowbottom could be another link player from the midfield to forwardline, great. But not sure about bringing in Hayward + Ainsworth + a type like that.

If its as an inside mid, then he's superfluous. JMc pls.

Why all this love for McInerney I personally think he’s a spud

Spot on

 

[kingkingston]

Who actually wants Charlie at the club next year? Not me. The trust is gone. The club has been nothing but supportive of him despite self induced misfortunes along the way. He's approaching 30 and acts like a teenager. Get the best deal and move this baby on

I do

From Rookieme re Chesser

POSITION: Balanced Midfielder/Defender

SNAPSHOT: "A speedy and productive mover on the outside, Chesser breaks the lines from half-back or the wing but has also shown a good balance in his ball winning."

STRENGTHS:

• Speed
• Kicking
• Class
• Versatility
• Outside run
• Breaking the lines

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Contested game
• Tackling

Also mentions he has footy nous.

Ticks the boxes that we need to improve on.

Obviously injury history is not great.

 

[kingkingston]

he is good. Carries the ball

 

[Rosscoe 17]

Tidy work on Ainsworth and Chesser
