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!

 

[Ninja Worrier]

agreed to what

Contractual terms..if a deal is accepted

 

[BIuebagger]

agreed to what

Would say his contract terms.

 

[carlton_99]

If that's true then I'd say it's bye-bye to Boyd or else Newman is retiring

Why?

 

[sweethoney]

Future 2nd is pretty useless for Cody. A top 5 bid match will likely involve two first rounders.

But it's not an asset to sneeze at either

Could still be handy to add it to a future 1st next year to improve that pick

 

[circusdevil]

Jon Ralph reporting here that rival clubs believe Sydney are trying to trade Florent for a F2 which they believe may entice Carlton who will have Cody Walker next year.

Also notes that Rowbottom wants to stay at Sydney despite a recent chat with McRae and that Hayward is "getting his head around" whether he would be prepared for a move in a trade. Notes that Voss is a big fan of Hayward.

Not getting too many 2nd dates is McRae. I guess that is why his nickname is 'fly' and not 'spanish fly'.

 

[BlueTongue]

100% Jed Walter if we can get him.

Think I'm gonna go all 'Steven May' on your 'Max Gawn' here.
I really can't see the need for Walter but Humphrey is exactly what we need.
For a Pick 3 who's been in the system 3 years and not done much, I suspect Walter will be a bust.

 

[MrJimmy]

Righto, I'm going with this because I never get info like this (or at all) and it might be my only chance to cover myself in glory and go down in ITK folklore.

I've been told today by a friend (former suns player and still somewhat involved with their academy) that Bailey Humphrey is definitely keen to get back to Victoria and absolutely Carlton is his team of choice. That being said both he and Humphrey's camp are under no illusion that the club will NOT be entertaining any trade requests or offers.

I preface all of this by saying my mate knows I am a Carlton supporter so could be ****ing with me but this would be completely out of character for him.

I am absolutely not an ITK but just thought I'd share what I've heard.

Do we think the Charlie trade will happen? Not so sure anymore; given no-one from Sydney appear to want to leave. Not a lot of days left for such a complex trade now.

Interesting given we have traded next years 2nd round. But i guess we have two 1sts to play with in pick swaps.

100% it happens, Sydney telling players to leave mid trade week means we have agreed with the swans on a value and if the swans can get it charlie will be traded.

Despite the public stance of wanting him to stay were almost certainly blinking by wednesday to get rid of charlie to help drive the culture change thats required.

 

[Benaly28]

He has until end of 2029 but that probably doesn’t matter. The AFL run every single aspect of the sport and would want who they consider to be the face of the competition (Naicos) at the new club.

Tassie will have $5M handed out by the afl to sign franchise players as they want outside the salary cap.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Not one to normally have ITK information in relation to the Blues but...

According to Florent's nonna he's agreed to a deal with the Blues for next year. My best mate has been her neighbour since childhood and said he spoke to her this morning about it.

Take it with a grain of salt, my mate does smoke a lot of...

If true he will be a solid signing for us along with Ainsworth and Chesser.

I think this may be a next year thing.

But this rumour keeps coming out from all sorts of places

 

[Benaly28]

Suns need picks for NGA and Trac.

Can’t have everything.

 

[ctwenty1]

Yet he hasn't nominated them yet. Surely he would do it asap if he had committed to them.

But he has done so privately

 

[ctwenty1]

Suns need picks for NGA and Trac.

Can’t have everything.

So what do they value more

Humphrey/walter or their nga or trac?

 

[BIuebagger]

meaning

Money, years, clauses etc.

 

[BlueTongue]

Why?

Limited list spots available and the fact Florent that plays that role

 

[juzza316]

So what do they value more

Humphrey/walter or their nga or trac?

They will have/keep all of those.

 

[Edmund hunt]

But he has done so privately

Yet he has apparently agreed to our offer as well. He can't join both teams can he?

 

[carlton_99]

Yeh but Boyd is contracted and we need the depth anyway. Unless another club wants him can't see us paying Boyd out. And Newman is no chance of leaving

 

[macky99]

That’s true. None of the players mentioned Cats/Swans don’t want to leave their clubs and come to us. Hayward, Rowbottom and Florent don’t want to come.

That may be the major obstacle to get this deal done, not sure Cats or Swans have players willing to leave to head our way.

Still think this is 50/50 whether the deal gets done.

 

[agro]

Read latest post from our board - CC has apparently agreed to terms with both us and cats. Up to Wright now

Au Contraire.

 

[carlton_99]

 

[muzza99]

Yet he has apparently agreed to our offer as well. He can't join both teams can he ?

“You get a Curnow”, “You get a Curnow”, “You get a Curnow”……”You all get a Curnow”

 

[HarryFlashman]

Got anyone in mind? Sounds like the club needs some ideas!

Nope, watched buggerall footy this year, easy not to care when your in Qld and we are shit.

 

[raymagoo]

agreed to what

Terms - contract/pay
