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!

Keep up Sammy. We knew this 24 hours ago.

Carlton can’t afford Austin capitulating under pressure to Sydney. Cannot accept unders.

Poor old Austin, if we decide that we don't like the deal, then it'll be all his fault; if we get a deal that we are happy with, it'll be all praise to GW and CD.

I reckon this is how Brad Lloyd survived so long at the club.

All theatre to keep the masses entertained. C4 the real MVP.

Come here in peace.

Not 100% sure what the final deal looks like today (but I doubt that 22 is part of it).

But from a Swan's fan POV if the deal goes through you are getting two wonderful players in both Florent and Hayward.

Hayward - Know a lot of people talk him up for his finishing or one on one contested work, but there are other strengths to his game, his tough as nails and regularly plays through injury (In fact if the game is close and he gets injured somehow he always tends to lift when there is a bit of adversary).

Hayward is also one of those players who can win a contest without the ball being sent to him perfectly, his athletic enough to bring the ball to ground and is decent once the ball is there as well regularly roving off packs or his own contests.

He can go missing a little in games (bit of a Sydney problem as we tend to use kicks to lead up players, where Hayward would excel a bit more if we went longer to the teeth of goal a bit more regularly).

Florent - Was one of my own favourites for years (Since I saw him nail the winner on the run against North in his first year), unfortunately he was moved out of position mid last year and Cox never really seemed to like him (He prefers players who are a bit more defensively focused).

I am sure people have already waxed lyrical around his kicking, durability and movement but will break it down a little bit. Florent's best trait is when he can weave in and out of traffic, he is exceptionally mobile in the contest with ball in hand, whether that is around the ball or off the half back flank. I have always thought he was best on the outside of the contest, where he can use his agility to avoid a player and set up the next play (is deceptively good by hand).

I think Florent would really flourish with a role where is he a bit more unstructured, and definitely not responsible for a direct opponent, he played this role early last year and was exceptional before Longmire moved him to the half back flank and he went a little downhill.

Lastly both players are exceptionally popular with our playing group and will bring in some great culture.

Fair few of our fans are not happy with the deal and losing both players, but if it goes through I will definitely be cheering on both in Carlton colours (Unless they are playing the Swans of course)

Love you to Robertio

Got a sinking feeling about today.

A feeling that is based on everything Wright and Davies have provided so far.

It's a good feeling.

Bring on closure and the start of the next chapter with a group of young men who want to clear the rot, right the ship and take this sleeping giant of a club to greatness again.

 

[ctwenty1]

It will be unexpected that's for sure

Has this "unexpected event" been discussed on here before?

 

[Bongo Drum]

I think everyone is going to be VERY happy after tonight

Cmon C4... are you really gonna make us wait another 9 hours?? A hint at least? LOL

 

[majesticseacapt]

Welcome Matthew Pavlich to CFC

This was where Longmire was an exceptional coach.

He would coach players to their best strengths (generally, we can argue it took him far too long to move Heeney to the midfield), of course it can occasionally go pear shaped if things went a little wrong though.

Funnily I think Longmire would achieve great things with your list.

If things dont work out with Vossy, I do wonder if having Florent, Hayward, Hewett, Newman and your former fitness boss already at the club, would increase our appeal to Longmire.

Say nothing if it’s Walter

 

[yibbida]

Rejected us last year now isn’t thrilled at coming

and wants a pay rise? lol. Sydney should be paying most of his salary for the next 4 years.

 

[NavySteel]

Refresh button going to get a serious workout today

 

[Carltonfc9]

Yeah makes sense.

For me to be very happy, they'd have to be used to get an F1 from North or someone expected to finish bottom 6... with an early 3rd rounder this year coming back.

But I doubt that's gonna happen

I'd be happy to trade to Collingwood for future 1st and say something else just incase the have a decent year. Would be awesome just to death ride them all year good chance it can happen to

 

[Juddrockz]

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

I would imagine it would be discussed with Cody and his family and go from there.

 

[Robertio]

I saw him first.

 

[RPCB]

Say nothing if it’s Walter

Carlton: “Here is our counter-offer, Errol Gulden and Will Hayward and your future 1st for Charlie Curnow.”

Sydney: “No. But we are prepared to trade Will Hayward, Ollie Florent and a nice signed frame of Bob Skilton.”

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

The surprise will be 10 and 11 for Humphrey B Bear and a late first round to use on Dean.

*No inside info and no idea whether GC even have a late first round to give and no idea whether that will be enough for Dean.

That's where my mind went. I very much doubt it would happen (this year at least) but surely we've asked the question.

I completed leg day with my personal trainer, I survived torture and now this bitch

 

[NavySteel]

If I'm wrong ... I will delete this 20 year old account.

My guess is we’re going to package up our first rounders for something unexpected.

Either that or there’s a third club involved for curnow

Leg day aint got nothing on the next 10 hours, mate.
