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!

Ainsworth "been talking to Humphrey behind the scenes" who's "a good friend of his"

BRING HIM HOME BENNY

I said it before Walshy, Ben is from Morwell just 20 mins out from Moe and they will car pool together into Ikon Park.

They’re just working out the finer details of the car pool roster, I believe it’s the final hurdle holding up the trade announcement…

Intentional or not it's not a great look.

People complaining better off logging off BF, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook.
Gonna be bigger than 6-7

"Leaks for me, not for thee."

 

[teddy-hopkins]

The only best 22 players here are Harry, Humphrey, Ainsworth, Hayward and Williams, the rest need to improve

Without Charlie there Kemp has to be best 22. And I think a few guy will end up with positional shifts as well. Some will go to half back and half forwards are essentially wingers these days anyway... I really hope Acres is pushed out this year. His disposal was never great but has gone down hill fast.

 

[Sin City]

If Charlie goes who is the starting 2nd Key Forward round 1 next year? HOK, Lewis Young or McGovern if he stays?

Big game Brodie!

"Leaks for me, not for thee."

I love rumours, I love leaks, I love all the scandals and heat that come with it.

 

[Andypooh23]

I can’t see Humphrey being part of any deal, GC has been resolute that he’s off the table this year. If anything he’d unlock the petracca trade and go to Melbourne. It’s nice to dream of a scenario where we turn Charlie into a future first and Hayward and Humphrey but I just can’t see it.

And we have have been saying that Charlie will be a Carlton player in 2026 but here we are....

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Ainsworth interview on trade radio just now, said he’d been speaking with crippa over the past few weeks and looking forward to playing with him……

So its been in the pipeline, good that there’s no leaks !

That’s really good but makes for a painful last few days of trade period

I need my juicy drama

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Interesting we havent heard any rumblings about
McGovern
Acres
Binns

Gov without contract and no interest from other clubs. But may be kept. Binns is almost certainly gone I think.

is Acres contracted for 2 more years?

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Day 3 of a test match is called moving day. Expecting fireworks today. If CC gets to Sydney it feels like it will be a fair trade all round.

Agee with the positional changes, Kemp might be in our best 22 but I'm not sure his best is getting us anywhere and I don't believe he has much improvement in him, My hope is for improvement from Moir to claim a spot full time.

 

[Bluebag13]

Big game Brodie!

Kemp will need most of the 1st half of the year in getting back to the level.
Achilles injuries take a very long time.
If i was to do a best 23 right now, I would have him out of it because of this

Yeah acres till end of 27

Binns is contracted for 2026 - do you think he gets traded or paid out?

 

[dustydemon11]

Yeah i spoke to bailey Humphreys best mates mate, said he's definitely coming to Carlton

No he’s not not he’s Melbourne or hawthorn bound

 

[ctwenty1]

No he’s not not he’s Melbourne or hawthorn bound

you forgot collingwood too

 

[RAPPA]

Had to lol at this quote from Ainsworth:

"The opportunity to play a more unstructured role at Carlton was really appealing to me. I can't wait to get into the Blues set-up."

If it's one thing you can count on at the Blues, it's that we have no structure.

I hope its not a fair trade all around - dont want day lot robbery but do we want to be havining maximum value

 

[Treesloth]

Binns is contracted for 2026 - do you think he gets traded or paid out?

No reason to do either. Hasn’t even turned 21 yet and at worst is a handy depth player with room for improvement.

Can only have so much change in every off season too

Seems to either have a few mates that love a chat or one that can’t keep a secret.

Anyone ITK gives us a realistic chance of getting Humphries to Princes Park or is this just more
internet fluff ???

 

[JPZ SKOLIEZ]

Big game Brodie!

Kemp will be mid season

 

[ctwenty1]

Anyone ITK gives us a realistic chance of getting Humphries tp Princes Park or is this just more
internet fluff ???

This is the trade period's equivalent of Schrodinger's Cat - until trade period ends Humphrey is both coming and not coming to Carlton

Lets wait the 2.5 days

Best bet is to treat it like presents from family on your childhood birthdays. Hope for an xbox but be prepared for socks.
