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!

DEAL this is a very good offer IMO

They’re requesting pick#22!

 

[Brezsa]

later pick is 22 this year, nope too much, Morris on trade radio

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Now let's see what Geelong do

 

[ctwenty1]

Apparently Sydney's late request is pick 22

Um thats a no

Woudl be basically be Pick 11 Hayward and Florent - thats definitely a no

 

[ESKIE]

They apparently want Charlie and 22 (JSOS comp) in return

I say no a later pick yes

 

[Schoonerman]

Charlie could also break down and not play at all next year

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Sydney pls

 

[SirSanchez]

Public Service Announcement: Putting a players name in all caps does not make them a better player.

BOOTSMA!

Yep, you’re 100% right on that point.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

We didn’t consistently see his best. We consistently saw “ enough”.

The bloke is a freak, he should be CONSISTENTLY a top 10 PERFORMER in the competition.

I think the three seasons before this last we did. He was basically a top 10 player in the comp the whole time. Except playoffs. The hope he'd come good and stop sulking was basically the only reason I watched after week 4 this year. If we have a similar start next season I imagine there'll be a huge drop off. This boards successfully changed the narrative of how ****ing incredible this bloke is at footy to lessen the blow of him turning his back on the club. If he does leave. Genuinely know of scores of kids who'll just follow the club he goes to or stop watching.

 

[ESKIE]

It’s a very solid offer and nearly there….hello Geelong what you got in your handbags ?

 

[Juddrockz]

For what it’s worth, Sam McClure doesn’t think Florent will be part of the Charlie trade. He’s close to D’Orazio and Connor’s management.

We probably dont want his contract?

 

[kingkingston]

But with Curnow I think geelong woudl finish higher idk

It all depends on how long the Cats older players can stay healthy. Also, did they get exposed in the GF that other clubs can pick up and use against them in 2026.

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Although it's cold water, pretty good surf down in Tassie as well you know.

 

[Coona Blues]

Swans are kidding. If we are giving 22 back and wearing Florent’s 4 year deal, we would be better off revisiting the Cats.

Plenty to play out, can still make him stay and hope the upgraded focus drags him along….. Can always revisit next year to get the pick needed to match Cody.

Bit like Sydney in 2024...

Yoiu are right though, Geelong could be down in 2026 as a result of the 2025 GF, bit like Sydney...

 

[SolGoodman]

Glad the deal is finally out in the open, reckon that offer hits the "fair" deal mark for both sides.

Yes, Charlie is "contracted" but this is the best deal we would get for a player that wants out and I'm guessing we wouldn't mind him out.

Get the deal done and let's try and shake some more late trade trees I say!

 

[RPCB]

From “This draft is shit.” for the last 12 months.

To “We must hold onto Pick 22.”

 

[bluemahogany]

Respectfully, get ****ed.

 

[Bluebag13]

From “This draft is shit.” for the last 12 months.

To “We must hold onto Pick 22.”

The two can exist at the same time.
We need 22 not for players in the draft but flexibility to get Dean and Ison

 

[Blue and Silver]

Happy with that deal of that's what it ends up.

Think we could get better. But I just want to move forward and be done with talented players who aren't committed

 

[Brezsa]

Should comeback with you can have our 27 second round instead of this year if they are desperate for a 2nd

 

[Blue Dimension]

GAGF Sydney.

Nothing goes back with Curnow. It’s Charlie bloody Curnow!

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Morris now saying Sydney want 22 back with Charlie
All part of the posturing, we will end up going back to them with Charlie and a late pick and it’ll end up going through.

Trade period could be 3 days and everything would still happen, it’s all such a wank

Agreed - think this is part of the show.
CFC reject the 22 and make it look like we were tough at the table and not accepting a first deal.

Deal changes to late pick so it looks like we've had a win.
Morris read too far ahead in the script in his first tweet.

 

[kingkingston]

We need the points

This is a very traumatic time of year…

If I wasn’t on tramadol for pain, my PTSD would be going nuts… oh dear, it was only yesterday I started on the tramadol… must be why I’m relaxed today.
