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!

Gotta love how arrogant Geelong are. Dempsey, Neale, Humphries, Close, O'Sullivan Miers, SDK O'Connor pretty much there whole list except an aging Cameron and Dangerfield done of them are better than Curnow or Marshall yet Geelong ain't willing to give up those kind of players
I flat out wouldn't deal with Mackie

 

[ctwenty1]

When does pre-season training start?

Normally end of october, begining November

 

[tarczonandjane]

Charlie somewhere on the Sydney tarmac…

The reduced points system this year and the discount being reduced from 20% to 10%.

You specifically made mention can only use two picks and this year you could use as many as you want

thats been strongly implied - but not formally released - it is rather wild/appalling that it hasnt been finalised with a couple days left in the draft window

I assume Teaguey was referring to this part of your post:

We can use as many picks as we want this year, but next year we can only use 2 picks.

You should just see some of their posts re: Marshall and Charlie.
How dare clubs don't just take pick 19 ...... I mean that is all we have.



dazbroncos - this guy.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Cal Twomey not ruling the Cats out yet for Charles.

They revised offer to include the same picks as before, plus 20 annual memberships to Ed and Charlie's wellness centre?

You just know Geelong's next step.

Because we were so "outrageously stubborn" not tot accept their offer they'll be lobbying the AFL to make it impossible for us to get Cody next year. Classic Geelong move.

I saw something where the person heard that Swans were looking to get an Eagles first rounder for McDonald.

Now whether that is 11 and McDonald for 2, or McDonald and something else for 13, wasn't mentioned. This was paired with Florent.

So #2, F1 and Florent, or #11, #13, F1 and Florent? I'm guessing most will say the 1st one, but want Hayward instead.

Hmmmm. I got a message that McDonald could be part of deal and has been asked if he wants to be traded

As I said, legal case waiting to be opened now. I hope we are ready to go and flower them all up, incl. the biggest sooks of all down South way.

West Coast were interested in Binns.

Pick 2 here we come...

 

[Bletch]

25 and 26 won't get Dean if the bid comes anywhere near his draft ranking.

Let's run with a bid at 6, which you mentioned a few posts back.

That's 1496 points to match. Pick 22 is 686, pick 25 is 590, pick 26 is 561. Total 1837, leaves 341 points over.

341 is enough to match a bid at pick 32 around the mark for Ison. Maybe he goes a bit higher and we also have to use our next pick (54). 54 is only worth 14 points, but all of those later picks will come in significantly, as picks used for matched bids by GC, Bris, Syd and us are consumed. In the same way, those three picks (22, 25 and 26) aren't going to stay at that mark, but I figure they won't change a lot.

It should be enough. Worst case, we have a small deficit.

Picks in the 20s are the new 40s. Rather than trading for a bunch of picks in the 40s for matching bids as clubs have done in the past, the sweet spot now seems to be around the mid-20s.

Now we are talking SV. Go get them Austin and team ....

 

[Robertio]

Hmmmm. I got a message that McDonald could be part of deal and has been asked if he wants to be traded

I'd take him.

surely that might be to WCE?

[Robertio]

is a quality player too important to let slip, the Cats and Swans will be both try their utmost to snare him.
This is the best possible scenario for CFC and we'll do very well indeed , if its destined to happen.

 

[SurreyBlue]

I expect Macdonald to WC for pick 2.
Then pick 2, pick10 and next years 1st for Charlie.

Then we go fishing as well.....

 

[yibbida]

surely that might be to WCE?

why would WCE want another KPP? Doesn't make any sense.

Or next year's WCE first
