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!

Would love Hayward or Ainsworth to get the no.30 guernsey.

 

[Dominator_7]

Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel under the guidance of CD and GW, there’ll be no trade collapses and things will work out alright.

 

[sosos]

Where's the mega offer?

We should simply tell Charlie we are closed for business and his next 4 years will be played in the Carlton VFL team, as a lesson to him, and all the shifty players' and list managers, like D'orazio and Mackie.

Some short term pain but
the long term value to the club would be immense.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Carlton should not allow Swans to dictate on the swans players being offered. Can’t just accept Hayward and Florent. If reports are true that Blues asked for O’Sullivan or Holmes from the Cats, then they should do the same and ask for Gulden

How do you know they didn’t?

Wonder what happens to the No.1 guernsey, will it get shelved for Cody or used next year?

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Ah, I should have realised the discussion was from the viewpoint of an AFL footballer. Yep, if I was rich, I would likely prefer Sydney.

Alas I am not, and I do not.

I'll never experience an art deco unit overlooking Cabbage Tree Bay either.

 

[HarryFlashman]

The manufactured bullshit by the AFL is pointless - it just pisses off all of us who are interested & those who aren’t won’t suddenly tune in just because it’s televised.

How they are so clueless on so many fronts it’s just maddening.

Just report the trades and get shit done, these assholes need to remember the game is for the fans - that’s your revenue base, not creating mindless content to keep the so called “journos” in a job

Bounce the ball FFS!

Bounce the ball FFS!

Old news.

Bounce the ball FFS!

Lol it does feel like game day to me.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

I would do the apparent Curnow deal...

...on one condition.

If 22 is involved. They MUST give 32 back (could help unlock Khamis and we can break one of 10 & 11 into lower picks for bids).

Otherwise, forget it!

I hope so!

 

[HarryFlashman]

Old news.

The bounce got traded for last touch over the line & another change next year (to be determined after F/S & Academy picks)

 

[Coona Blues]

Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel under the guidance of CD and GW, there’ll be no trade collapses and things will work out alright.

Whatever the outcome, it will be in our entire management group with a deal this big.

I am sick of all the BS prejudging and mocking Austin. As another poster (or 2) has said, the nuffies will give all of the credit to Wright and Davies if it happens as desired, and the derision to Austin if it isn’t quite what we want. Can’t we all just support.

There are factors at play than none of us will ever be privy to. Support the club or get off a FAN forum.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

If I trade CCurnow3votes.

I’ll get OFlorrent3steakknives?

 

[jackn]

Why does a wantaway player under contract have to nominate a club by the way???

No one’s really checking any of this are they.

It is my understanding of course….

Because the aflpa have too much power. If they want free agency, clubs should have the right to trading players where they get the best result to balance it. And scrap free agency compensation.

Would make it much easier for bottom teams to get access to good players. Pre-agents would get traded a lot more often to bottom teams who would then have a year to convince them to stay but risk losing them for nothing.

How do you get Ison?. 22 is valuable like giving up Ison & Khumis

Lol it’s obviously getting shelved
Cmon

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I would love to see Robbie D'Orazio's step count today!

 

[DollarsandSense]

Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel under the guidance of CD and GW, there’ll be no trade collapses and things will work out alright.

Well today will certainly show if we are the Carlton of old and collapse, or are we the NEW Carlton.
Over to you GW and CD

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I thought Chris D said we’d already knocked it back?

I'm assuming his manager must have passed it on earlier and we knocked it back.

Still not sure why they'd still submit it then though?

 

[Dominator_7]

Sydney was happy to make a public spectacle of wining and dining Curnow. They had it out there for all to see. Can’t turn around and be all smug and stubborn in negotiations Mackie style now. They’ve virtually committed to getting him abd have pulled out all stops.

The Charlie deal is being held up by the Tivo clause in his contract.

Can you confirm, Les Grossman playaaaa?

 

[goreds]

I was thinking the same thing last night.

It must be to set a benchmark publicly or to save face if the deal doesn't go through. 50/50 on Charlie going.

My GWS contacts saying that Swans know he is a risk and comes with body and attitude issues (which at his age is not great).
