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!

None will net 3rds and 3rds barely carry any points anymore anyway.

In this year's draft, they will imo...

Those 3rds will come down too after bids.

We don't need 1000+ points more, we just need enough to match the Dean bid.

Pick 22 gives us 686 points.

With the Stains trading away pick 7, the earliest likely bid will come from the dogs at pick 12. I don't buy into Ess bidding on him with 5 or 6... just not gonna happen. If it's the Tigers we deal with for pick 4, highly doubt they're bidding on Dean, we won't do that deal with them, there'll be principle agreement there and they won't want to muddy that.

So, if I'm right, 1140 - 10% = 1026 points required. -686 from 22 = 340.

340 points to come from couple 3rd rounders is doable, our 54 will come down to mid 40's too I reckon.

 

[berisha]

Just curious who would everyone prefer, Miers or Rowbottom?

One has what we need while the other is more of what we have

 

[CoachB]

I actually reckon Swans are missing a few more pieces then just a FF and its yet to be seen whether Cox can coach.

Reckon they could surprise and not bounce by as much as expected. Reason I dont mind their F1.

No certainty Cox would play Charlie at FF, based on last season. He doesn't have great feel for the game IMHO.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

I CAN! ...and jolly-well DO!

...AND I believe Naicos was robbed of the jolly brownlow!!!!






too far?

Yep…

 

[marcmurphy3]

I just get the feeling from that they will try hold their F1 and offer other picks. Just get that vibe from them.

No F1. No deal

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Agreed the Sydney offer doesn’t excite me. We don’t need Rowbottom.

 

[reubsblues]

Ok calling it: 11, F1, Hayward, McInerny.

We should have a competition and see who’s closest to the pin.

If we ended up with that I'd say that's a huge win for us

 

[Blue_Fusion]

That makes no sense... they want Charlie, we're not going to give him away, the F1 will be one of the most important parts to convince us to trade him...

 

[Sam The Doc]

Yeah as good as it would be to have Curnow coming into your side, you'd be super annoyed with that amount as a swan. I think just 3 variables there, hopefully both those 2 players in it and a 1st...

 

[Blue_Fusion]

If we ended up with that I'd say that's a huge win for us

I can't see them giving up 2 first rounders and 2 players... certainly not Hayward + McInerny.

11 + F1 + Hayward is where it'll land imo and that's a fair enough deal for both clubs.

 

[Soapy V]

As I posted the other day (got via Footy Manager) Swans are working on deal that will blow us away.

It’s getting close. I now expect it to happen

 

[katmanblue]

People turning their nose up at Grian Myers but screaming for J Mac is doing my head in.

Who exactly? Haven't seen one person say they don't want Miers.

 

[BIuebagger]

Any idea Soapy what may be included in the deal they might be cooking up for us?

An offer too good to refuse, perhaps?

 

[MrJimmy]

Is it a future 4th and Lewis Roberts Thompson? Because that would certainly blow me away

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Are we still expecting a few fringe types like Acres and Gov to get traded for a few extra picks/points?

 

[passmark]

Lads, once you escape the shit hole that is the Latrobe Valley, you never want to return

Hey.

I was born there.

Pretty sure there’s a shrine.

like what

 

[Mondyboy]

Could it be:

-Hayward.
-3 first rounders
- their second rounder this year.

Rowbottom didn’t play much in the centre for Sydney because he’s not quick. Not sure he’s a good fit for us. But you can bet dollars to peanuts that’s who they hand over.

 

[DangerousD]

Trading our F2 makes me assume Charlie is out the door, no way Austin has traded a F2 without knowing something

 

[Rugged Blue Bagger]

Roebottom, Haywood and 2x firsts ?

 

[skadoosh]

Will it just be Austin and co who are blown away...or we will also be blown away?

 

[katmanblue]

If we come away with Cheeser Ainsworth Reidy Khamis and one of Rowbottom/Hayward/Campbell plus a First Rounder to add to TDK to turn into Top 4-5 pick plus F1 to help get Walker plus some picks for Dean Ison along with Salary Cap room for future and only lose Charlie & Durdin (and some later picks) that is a fantastic trade period and sets us up for next decade

We have achieved what we set out to do and really adds to our youth

I would be very happy

Also losing TDK and SOS but I get the sentiment and agree.

 

[eaglevision]

Rowbottom + 11 > Suns for 7 + 36

7 + 36 + F1 + Hayward > Carlton for Charlie + F3/2027 F2

7 + 10 > WCE Pick 2 + 53

Tempting Walshy.

 

[Mondyboy]

I feel like this is being hyped and it’s gonna end being a trade this joint mooted and dismissed three days ago.

 

[btdg]

Trading our F2 makes me assume Charlie is out the door, no way Austin has traded a F2 without knowing something

Or alternatively, we are keeping Charlie and adding enough on the side that we expect to be mid table next year.

Pick 30 next year is a lot less valuable than pick 20, both generally and for us specifically with Walker.
