Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

#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!

Playing VFL this season means he is now a C grader on an overpriced contract.

If he hasn’t performed under Cox why do we think he will under Voss?

Cox hasn’t proven anything yet as a coach.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Must be nice having a whole football club buy your products (at I'm sure is a 'market' price) to support the business of several players. Very suss.

Get on his wellness centre at 3 large per year. All the GFC boys are.

[reubsblues]

Any chance we ask for Roberts or even Wicks instead of Florent both play hbf with great kicking skills and you can even have the pick 22 you want

Changed my mind only want Robert's
Just looked at Wicks stats compared to Florent and If Florent finds his form before this yr he actually is half decent

 

[Sector 7G]

McKay played as much VFL. Is he a C grader?

Coming back from a prolonged absence. Played Multiple Games where he showed he is an A grader.

Wasn’t dropped due to poor form so I don’t think this is an applicable comparison.

My main objection is I don’t think Florent fills a need.

 

[Thrawn]

Reinjuring his knee on his stair case?

How is this unprofessional?

Could happen to anyone.

Yes, I know you don't like Charlie, but at least keep it relevant to your posturing.

 

[bluesDeluxe]

On deadline day clubs aren't allowed to lodge trades until 2pm to save them for tv.

TV at 6 not 2pm

 

[GoBlues!]

Hate this prime time holding of deals crap too. If clubs are ready to lodge, let them do it. There’s been enough theatre, just let the clubs actually be football clubs. Honestly no other sport in the world tries this shit

Part of it might be the Swans trying to put some time pressure on Blues. GW doesn't fcuk around with his responses.

Surprised that if the clubs have been talking over the weekend, why the Swans don't have a grasp of whats needed to get a deal.

 

[Gingerbread man]

Our coach is the counter productive problem.

Had we sacked him like we should have months ago this Charlie trade is not even happening.

The club takes no responsibility for JSOS, TDK, Doc and Charlie all wanting to leave.

 

[Carltonfc9]

Any news if carlton has responded to the offer?

 

[ctwenty1]

Florent and Hayward come from a great culture and players develop very well. George Hewett and Nic Newman are exhibit A and B.

Id argue that we had as much influence on george and noodles as teh swans, if not more

 

[Blue_Fusion]

What worries me the most about losing pick 22 is Melbourne getting their hands on 7 + 8 for Trac.

I can see them bidding on Dean with one of those...

If it's pick 8 = 1299 points after 10% discount.

pick 22 is 686 points... so we lose that and we're in trouble...

The worst outcome if we trade 22 is, we'll likely have to use 10 to match the Dean bid.

But then we will take 11 to the draft.

So no chance of Lindsay/Grjl/Robey with that.

Top 10-15 prospects not tied to academy or F/S are probably:

1. Duursma
2. CDT
3. Robey
4. Sharp
5. Grjl
6. Lindsay
7. Taylor
8. Cumming
9. Greeves
10. Dovaston
11. Schubert
12. Farrow
13. Marsh
14. NHH
15. Phillipou

of course, many will have different opinions but pick 11 likely gets us one of those from the 8-15 range to go with Dean.

We then of course have nothing to match an Ison bid too unless we trade some players like Acres, Gov, Fog etc.

 

[ctwenty1]

Any news if carlton has responded to the offer?

yes, rejected it

 

[Weitbricks]

Mitch Lewis not out of the question in the Merrett deal. We should look at that!

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

pick trading is still allowed up unitl, and including drfat night

but agree bringing player in is problematic

You'd think they would have the subsequent trades agreed in principle in advance so things are quick once the first domino falls.

You'd be more worried if you were dealing with SOS or Mackie.

 

[HBF]

I am pretty sure there are plenty of the "Keep Fevola Members" who marched up and down Royal Parade back in 2009 on the books who will drown out the Charlie booers come opening bounce (oops throw up).

What a time that was on Big Footy.

 

[StanleyBeren]

McKay played as much VFL. Is he a C grader?

For Different reasons Soap.
I think the trade will still happen but I'm glad GW and Co are holding firm.
If Charlie stays they must be convinced they can get him to toe the new line. We're only asking him to be professional and do the things he was contracted to do.

we arent losing 22

 

[Chism]

They have to say that as they backed Voss.

Voss was sacked at his home club in the Lions he was a hero at when the same thing happened.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Pick 22 really cancels out our future 1st which makes it a crap deal for us so the Swannies have to come up with something that we really blow us away

Doesnt do anything of the sort. The future 1st is still the future 1st.

 

[ctwenty1]

yeah - i still think we may be in discussions with GC - they may be a little bare post trac deal

 

[Carltonfc9]

yes, rejected it

Is that from a itk or is there a article haven't seen anything

I honestly think Carlton haven’t said boo into their expectations except it had better be a bloody good deal, they’ll remove the pick 22 going back I have no doubt it’s about smoking us out I reckon

 

[ctwenty1]

From the horses mouth, Chris Davies via his plastic explosive delivery business here on BigFooty

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

If the Swans are under salary cap pressure to bring Charlie in, can’t we ask for a bit more and get another player off them?

We spoke to 7 of their players. Only two agreed to move. Can you guess which two?
