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!

They need to trade Humphrey to bring in Petracca and 2 of the top 5 draftees - so it doesn’t hurt them at all and if anything they are now a destination club

Playing tough, is something that weaker clubs need to do, to stop it being easy for players to leave.

Most players aren't going to want to leave the GC now anyway, so its not an issue.

 

[ajs071]

not convinced on Humphrey. His manager was pretty empathic yesterday that he would be staying at GC.

 

[Jimmae]

So, are we saying 10 and 11 for Humphrey. Keep the future first and get Hayward? Maybe a future second to us and future third to Sydney. Can’t see it happening. But would be stoked if it did.

I can't see it either, because that would be disastrous IMO.

I will not visualise it.

 

[myblueroan]

Anyone wanna give me a 'why Humphrey is a great get' post in less than 5 sentences?

Prize is a nice apple or carrot. If it's great- you might get a sugarcube.

 

[RPCB]

Yeah it's pretty much, we've had him all these years anyway and while he played some awesome football for us, we didn't really get anywhere. Not saying it's his fault, just saying a change up to our forward structure plus open avenues to bring in Walker and some other decent players... might work out best anyway

I reckon Dwayne Russell (yes ..I know) summed it up pretty well. If we knew we would get the 2022/2023 version of Charlie back (64 goals/81 goals) then fine but given the circumstances, his attitude and injuries, Carlton may never see that version of Charlie again.

Yeah, that’s where I am at. Sometimes trading one very good player allows the club to upgrade in multiple different ways. Ainsworth is one who we’ve brought in, Hayward sounds like being another.

Charlie’s attitude stinks on field. We will move on and be much better for it.

 

[Dramoth]

we need something to match dean though

Get the suns to toss in 29.

But they’ve lost a lot of mid-tier of their squad to invest in their youth to now prop up. Z.Uweland & Patterson do look good though.
This is list management.

IN: CP, JUH

OUT: Flanders, Fiorini, Budarick…+ Humphrey (who you can understand wanting to keep)
Edit: + Ainsworth….to us!

How would the forward line look:

HF: Ainsworth, McKay, Humphrey
FF: Haywood, Moir, Williams

Drool worthy, dynamic, agile, balanced.

Like, what the hell bro
Frankie first picked in my mind

 

[BringFevBack2021]

If we land Haywood, Humphrey and a 1st Round Pick for Curnow i'll be very very happy.

How would the forward line look:

HF: Ainsworth, McKay, Humphrey
FF: Haywood, Moir, Williams

Drool worthy, dynamic, agile, balanced.

Frankie Evans from the bench
Motlop given time to get his fitness and awareness up to scratch

We go from a cumbersome, dysfunctional forward line with one VERY good crumber (Williams) to probably the most dynamic (to borrow your adjective) in the comp

 

[feffs93]

“Daicos turns it over, Jagga out to HUMPHREYYYYYYYY FROM 65!!”

“CARLTON, CARLTON ARE YOUR 2026 PREMIERS”

Dont do that to me, please

 

[ctwenty1]

not convinced on Humphrey. His manager was pretty empathic yesterday that he would be staying at GC.

Tend to agree but the take away I took was that Humphrey's manager was not happy with Craig Cameron and the club administration. Clearly arent happy and will continue to look to leave over the course his contract

 

[Carlton06]

My question is if we trade curnow what am I meant to do with my 1 year old son who I named Charlie. Should of named him Harry.

 

[Jimmae]

I think everyone is going to be VERY happy after tonight

We're getting pick 2 and Butters??

Right? Right?

Seriously though, if the outcome is that we can secure Humphrey and a (currently) top 4 pick, that would be outstanding, that's my watermark for being overjoyed.

 

[Matty411]

Frank has 100% taken over Jesse and the other smalls. Zac still sits as our #1 but plays differently so can co-exist. If Hayward comes in and we've just grabbed Ben... Jesse may not play a lot of footy in 2026.

If Humphrey comes in... phwoar I have NFI.

Change his name legally to Frank.

Send him to Sydney mate

 

[Magruder]

Go into hospital for a minor procedure. They knock you out for 2 hours and 35 pages of a bigfooty thread. Never change.

been there done that... (last years trade period)... didn't actually miss anything though.

 

[yibbida]

Yeah, that’s where I am at

This thread is an excellent study in the different stages of grief...

Really didn’t see the need to extend Motlop, not in the running IMO.

Humphrey…(?)

go to the gold coast board

They are in the ealry stages of grief re Humphrey where we were with Charlei a few weeks ago

Get his name changed.

He’s 1. He won’t even remember.

 

[HaydossJ]

If I see Haywood again..

 

[Dramoth]

He's 24 hours behind again.

Are we waiting on a certain pick 29?

 

[Faz 2000]

I’d like to be “very happy” after the trade deadline tonight.

I think doing a solid deal for Curnow is good for Carlton. Got to break some eggs to make an omelette. He’s clearly the best player in the deal, but we may well (in time) be a better side with the collective output and revamped team dynamic that comes with Hayward et al.

Charlie will be excellent for them. Massive upgrade on their scoring power. We are in need of a broader change and this might be it.
