Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

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!

I’m hoping to thrash it out and get it done today so that we can move onto other deals that we have in the pipeline

Once Charlie and Buku are done, we shut up shop barring some pick swaps which will most likely happen closer to the draft. I don’t believe there’s anything else in the works.

Been in meetings the last couple of hours.

Have we landed Sydney's 1st, F1, Hayward, Florent, Gulden, Heeney, Warner, McInerny, Ryan O'Keefe's father/son rights, The Sydney Opera House and Geoffrey Edelsten's pink helicopter yet?

Willing to send a late pick back to Syd, if necessary.

If Leanne is not included, they can GAGF...

We’ve just ended up with too many running flanker types, and he’s been squeezed out of a defined role because of that. At most clubs, he’d still be comfortably best 22. He still played 16 games this year, so it’s not like he’s fallen off a cliff.

Just been replaced by younger players in a season you finished lower than us....

Sounds like a gun. We will give you pick 11 and 22 for him (TDK + JSOS effectively).

Neither is Curnow.

Umm...he kinda is...

Quibbling over the shade of pink on the helicopter. GW has them in a choke hold and will get them to paint it a lighter shade in the end.
Takes no prisoners GW

How the F is any club suppose to plan for next yr when they don’t know the rules yet .
I wish one if the clubs take the afl to court it’s a joke

 

[WalshYouLegend]

Swans offer okay except the Pick 22 in return part. Scrub that and let’s take the offer and run.

Asking to remove Florent from the deal is just silly in my opinion.

It’s not like Sydney and Carlton’s list management teams haven’t been in open dialogue, if his name has come out in an official offer then both parties are happy with him.

Sydney are a competent club. They’re not going to ask a player to pack his bags and then go back later and say “oh wait they don’t want you my bad”.

The official offer coming out means it is essentially done and there will be a drawn out haggle in the media over 22 for drama, then we’ll see Charlie in a red polo next to the Opera House for a photo op.

 

[We may never win again]

If we’re giving Sydney so much as a packet of chips along with Charlie they should be paying some of florents deal

If the Swans are making their offer public, then we have them by the balls.

We can back out of this a LOT easier than they can.

"Sorry Charlie. We value you so much that two first rounders and two players doesn't cut it. We love you, want to keep you here and think we can succeed with you. Come back and give it a try with Ainsworth and the other changes"

Vs

"Sorry Ollie/Will. Yep, I know we tried to sell you off in favour of something shinier, but we do like you too. Please don't be sad... No we haven't added much to he team that missed finals, we were too busy trying to get Curnow"

NOw is the time to squeeze and set the club up for the next decade. Remember how important Charlie is to us. Our junior memberships are named 'charlie's club'. He is the number of the back of 30,000 kids. How are they going to feel about 'oh, yeah, Charlie plays for Sydney now. But it's ok, we got...'

It has to be overwhelming... 2027 first HAS to go in as well. Is there another player? Dattoli or someone else who won't play next year for them anyway? Keep going....

This is what I'm talking about, man.
