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!

Any chance if we get picks 10 and 11 that we can package them for a higher pick? Richmond, Essendon and West Coast having consecutive top end picks could be looking for more early picks.

I am ok with a couple of good players, f1st and 11 if we can use those two picks to either get another good player by moving up the draft like last year or by for trading them.

I still think we are probably poking the bear a little with those picks and the Suns.

Too many rumours around humphrey and us and the fact he is touring other clubs in Victoria suggests to me he is putting the pressure on the Suns and his desired destination club to make a trade. The Suns need currency to get Petracca and their academy picks. As it stands they probably can't have them all. Send them Picks 10 and 11 for Humphrey and 52. That gets them Petracca and their academy players.

It's one thing to want players and have them agree to a trade. It's another thing to do what is needed to get them.

I don't see us wanting to use picks 10 and 11 in the draft unless it's a super high pick. I think the thing that could be holding the Curnow deal back is the other club. For us to sign off on the curnow trade, we need to have a deal signed off on for picks 10 and 11. That is probably the tricky part. Could it be Humphrey, Butters or another we are targeting with those picks? Who knows, I just don't feel like we will sit on them and take them to the draft and Kahmis is not worth either of them.

Yeah - not sure we have the list spots either

10 and 11 to GCS (post their Trac deal) for BH and GCS future first

I'd like that

 

[ctwenty1]

The fact that Florent & Hayward have been put up means that there managers have come to terms with Carlton for a new contract and that Sydney have either requested or encouraged them to leave.. its now hard for them to go back on that if the deal falls over without resentment.

yeah - we do have leverage in that respect

 

[WalshYouLegend]

Cats are out , Blues are out. Charlie gets a job at the Carlton shop for next three years - he gets a bonus if he flips his discounted merch.

Does he have to wear a sandwich board with “I’m a bit of a tool” on it, and on the reverse side “Charlie merch 95% off”?

Same management team as Charlie.

As things so happen

hmmmm

I could certainly imagine its true Charlie wouldn't be enjoying the standards shift, as per TRP's input in the Bluemour Thread. Not sure how exactly he figures it would be much different at the professional Swans though, unless the lifestyle change alone makes the difference for him

 

[swuzzlebubble]

I expect a deal to get done but we are happy to hang on to Charlie if need be.

The gloves are off for Vossy right now and for better or worse cages are being rattled - Charlie in the crosshairs and not enjoying it one bit. Overall I believe it is a necessary mindset shift to compete with the best.

Good to hear

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Or give less.

Yeah, let's give them half of Charlie Curnow

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Calm down King Solomon

 

[majesticseacapt]

If we can turn Charlie into Florent, Haywood and Humphrey and a late first or second round pick, this is a massive upgrade for us. We're instantly stronger across the ground.

Make it happen!

 

[gbatman]

I am expecting at least one pay out. We have the cap space to do it. Boyd and Binns would be first to go, I would be surprised if they are with us next season. McGovern could yet to be delisted. White, Young and Charlseon are yet to be re-signed as well.

10 and 11 to GCS for Humphrey and their F1st would be theft but it would be great for it to happen. F2nd would good. I can't see them just sitting there and doing nothing now. They need top end picks. I think something has to budge with them.

We really need a rolling eyes reaction emoji

Not holding back...

 

[ctwenty1]

what does the gloves are off for Vossy mean

I think this means he is being given some latitude to coach and lead the team the way he wants to

ie no excuses for you next year if you stuff up Vossy

Florent, Haywood, Humphrey and Walker.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Couldn't pay me to live in Sydney.

Yes the better job market, crime rate, weather, beaches, people and night life really aren't worth living in Sydney. I agree.

 

[GoBlues!]

What if we said forget Florent and our #22 and countered with:

Swans #11, 2026 R1, 2027 R1 and Hayward for Curnow. It’s 3 R1 (what the Cats offered) + a player which is what we’ve said we wanted in a deal.

Their 2027 R1 will probably be in the 30s after taking the Devils R1 concessions, F/S, academy picks etc. so doesn’t hold the same value as next year’s R1.

 

[katmanblue]

I think that's not the same Leanne nowadays

Roxanne is the new Leanne.







I have no idea who to Leanne is.

 

[Magruder]

Ignore all this jostling over Curnow. Picks etc. How are we going to cover our losses.
I mean Jo Silvagni is irreplaceable

We said that about Megan Gale…
Melbourne were also cut up about losing Pia Brad Miller.

You are right on all except the better night life and people is marginal
