Rumour Bluemour Discussion XL - ‘Silly Season’ in full swing 😱

[Aphrodite]

#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!

The issue by trading a future second now is clubs now know that we need Charlie gone in order to get Walker. Not the best or smartest strategy.

There's other ways

 

[kreuze_missile]

Does Gryan average 23 disposals at Carlton? I think he'd regress in our system.

Seems to be one of those players who runs around on their own a lot while defenses put energy into other players.

Geelongs three 1st round picks + Myers still has me wanting more. But it's getting closer.

That’s just not true, you’re stating things in isolation without allowing for the full picture.
We would 100% have plans for bringing in Walker with or without Charlie, a F2 isn’t going to derail that

 

[Blue and Silver]

There's other ways

Pick 10 for example

 

[swuzzlebubble]

To be fair, Miers has been mentioned on here a couple of times, and we know ol mate Damo gets a lot of his info from here, so it adds up...

Definitely dribble then

 

[kingkingston]

How times have changed. Only 9 picks in the first round of 23 in the draft have been untouched by compensation or a trade.

 

[kreuze_missile]

SYDNEY:
Gain - Curnow & #36
Lose - 25' Rd.1 (#10), 26' Rd.1, Will Hayward & James Rowbottom.

GOLD COAST
Gain - Sydney's Rd.1 (#10), Carlton's Rd.1 (#9) & James Rowbottom
Lose - Jed Walter, #15 & #36

CARLTON:
Gain: Jed Walter, Will Hayward, #15 & Sydney's 26' Rd.1
Lose: Charlie Curnow & #9

Who is unhappy?

Both Gold Cost and Sydney say no.

Only Carlton say yes.

 

[skadoosh]

2 year deal for Chesser.

 

[Jd15]

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

Think ZW is a bit better if he can play a whole season.

 

[Soapy V]

Ainsworth & Cheeser both have talent and skill set we need. Can we get the best out of them? If we do both big positives

 

[thebluenewdeal]

If we got the same deal from sydney and geelong then I really hope we just send Curnow to sydney. Geelong coaching group getting another malleable piece is way more dangerous than Sydney's coaching group getting him.

 

[Revenant1995]

My OCD wants 'Senior' (Player) alongside the Ainsworth and Cheeser threads, and 'Coach' alongside the Adams/Truslove and Fraser threads....

 

[Jimmae]

Whats your view of Chesser?

Injury is my only concern, basically Acres with the physicality slider turned down and the skill slider turned up.

 

[BlueTongue]

Think ZW is a bit better if he can play a whole season.

ZW not strictly a small forward, more a Mid/fwd, but this also allows us to play Zac there and improve our delivery into the forward 50.

SYDNEY:
Gain - Curnow & #36
Lose - 25' Rd.1 (#10), 26' Rd.1, Will Hayward & James Rowbottom.

GOLD COAST

Lose - Jed Walter, #15 & #36

CARLTON:
Gain: Jed Walter, Will Hayward, #15 & Sydney's 26' Rd.1
Lose: Charlie Curnow & #9

Who is unhappy?

(I know Jed wouldn't be knowing he's been left out of the Suns Finals side only for them to bring in an unhinged Jamarra as another key forward he's going to have compete with)

Throw in Trac and humphrey. Heck even get gws involved with clarry and at that point may aswell throw buku and butters in there somewhere.

 

[marcmurphy3]

If we got Hayward for Charlie, think forward line looks something like this:

HF: Williams O'Keefe Ainsworth
F: Evans McKay Hayward
IC: 1 to 2 of Motts / Moir / Kemp

Not amazing but all proper forwards at least and all can kick goals.

Ainsworth and Williams the 2 that can have bursts onball

 

[katmanblue]

sorry.

Blink three times if you are in danger

I’ve always heard that Geelong system is basically everyone has their role and they are trained specifically for that role, a bit like doing a gym program day after day. How well would a Geelong trained player translate to Carlton?

 

[kreuze_missile]

CONTEST AND PRESSURE, or else.

 

[Crippa#9]

Only Carlton say yes.

Interesting. I think Sydney really, really want Curnow. I think they're the first to say Yes.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Campbell, Hayward 2025 and 2026 firsts will do me fine for Charlie.

 

[Soapy V]

Structure and delivery and it can work very well. Flexible

 

[carlton_99]

Campbell, Hayward and this 2025 and 2026 firsts will do me fine for Charlie.

I'd be very happy with that haul but can't see Swans letting Campbell go. Top 2 kick in the AFL imo

 

[Jimmae]

Campbell, Hayward 2025 and 2026 firsts will do me fine for Charlie.

Another deal for Florent?

 

[Pablito]

Campbell, Hayward 2025 and 2026 firsts will do me fine for Charlie.

Opinion or what you've heard?
