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 it be a multi team trade that sees Butters come our way out of it

 

[SolGoodman]

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.

So you're saying there's a chance?

If this is true and the Swans want to get him to do a tour in the coming days they must have some confidence they can get a deal done for him.

 

[Carltonfc9]

He'd want to get there soon spotted him at my local yesterday in jan juc having a coffee

 

[GoBlues!]

Not quite as good as heard on the tram or at the physio but I’ll allow it.

I heard it on the tram line (ooh ooh yeah)
And I’m just about to lose my mind..

Sorry folks, just getting some CCR flashbacks.

It’s happening Carlton are engaging with Swans which makes me feel this is now a real possibility

As long as the offer is significant I'm fine with this

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Sorry no one knows but seems like Carlton have told us what they need so we are trying

Strange for me that its not known yet by anyone.

I dunno why just have a feeling it's involving another club that's really holding up the trade

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Make Geelong Great Again!

Urgh… pass on this. Living in western Victoria, they’re so unbearable when they’re up and about

 

[Soapy V]

Sydney are more than aware now what we will accept. It’s up to them to make it happen

 

[carlton_99]

Just kind of hoping it doesn't drag on too much longer if a trade is going to happen. Would rather leave some extra time to see if we can do anything with what we get.

Frank will be busy coaching and taking 90% of centre bounces.

There are no centre bounces anymore...

Perhaps he can do a Steve Johnson 180 degree turnaround with his life and football careers.

 

[bradfisher14]

More likely it's the AFL who want to hold up the trade right until the deadline.

Don't expect anything official until the final Continental Tyres ad has been played.

Puckered up for a second there when I refreshed the page, ain’t gonna lie!

Took a second to read that it was a “what if”

Do we call CBAs CTAs now?

Any word on our targets with the trade package Sydney will offer?

Would be very happy with Robey/Duursma in the draft or a Humphrey type trade target.

Jumping Jack is full of crap. RoyalBlues riddles have a better success rate.

Then why is Carlton so off him? H had his battles, but it’s different with Lij?

I want him to succeed with us!

I think it’s be quite the opposite… Charlie seems like a guy that would “go with the flow”, so to speak…

I dont think that will work for carlton though, if curnow goes they will be chasing someone from another team

So there going to give us what we’ve asked for soap?
