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!

Take Florent out add in GCS #18, i think we also give up #22 but get Syd's #29

Something like:

Carlton Give: Curnow, Pick 10, Pick 22, Future 3rd
Carlton Get: Humphrey, Hayward, Future 1st, #18 and #29

GCS Give: Humphrey, #18
GCS Get: Picks 10, 11 (maybe Florent)

SYD Give: Pick 11, Future 1st, Hayward, (maybe Florent), #29
SYD Get: Curnow, #22, Future 3rd

Florent to Bulldogs, Buku to Carlton?

This is what I think C4 means. Seeing the general consensus was a no to Florent, the good news is that we essentially get Khamis instead of Florent and we don't have to give pick 22. Maybe some later swaps though.

I don't think there is any other major deal in the works. Perhaps some work with pick 10 or 11 for other pick/s but I wouldn't get excited about another player.

Let's hope Charleson becomes a gun.

And he will.

But he promised i'd be very happy

Not happy, but VERY happy...

Let's settle on the Humphrey, Walter, Gulden talk people. Zero indication that a surprise player is coming. Club stances are pretty set on all those, and they're not going to upset their supporters by doing an about face 6 hours later.

 

[Premiership Quarter]

Why is the Humphrey hopium gaining momentum again. Media silent on it.

Because they're stage managing to get viewers and clicks tonight.....

With all due respect to your above, I’d be expecting c4’s news to a bit more substantial than that. (Well I’m hoping so lol)

 

[Rugged Blue Bagger]

But I thought he was a gun player that would be best 22 for any club....

I would have liked Florent on our list personally. Handy player... Lets see what the club can do from here

Cat out of the bag on the GC board if yoiu havent looked already

Supporters turning on Humphrey in a big way

May as well just fulfill the self fullfilling prophecy for them and take Humphrey off their hands

Hayward, Khamis and two first rounders is not exactly setting the world on fire for Charlie Curnow. Would have preferred Florent instead of Khamis he’s a solid AFL player

Two of them play for Gold Coast, what supporters?

Just trying to align the stars between what c4 stated and then sin followed with a Humphrey rumour

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

They've added 2 + 2 and got 5. Wrong fork in tbe road taken.

In my career, we utilised the reasonable person test. Something was found to be a certain way if a reasonable person would view it that way.

My thoughts are that a reasonable person would be happy about what looks like going down. An over excited, hyped up, irrational person may not be.

Saints trading TDK to us for a 4th rounder and they pay half his salary, we keep the compensation pick?

Have you not noticed this place is an echo chamber?

Geez if that’s all it is I’m going back to work lol

 

[zeggie]

Doing the rounds -

Sydney: 2 first rounders + Florent + Hayward + 2026 3rd rounder
Carlton: Curnow + Pay $250k per year of Curnow's contract

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Finer details?
Swans want us to pay a bit of Charlie's salary if we don't take Florent is my bet.

Nah, Seems like the Swans want to extend Charlie's deal by a year to smooth out the Salary. So more of a Charlie / Swans issue than a Blues / Swans issue.

 

[thefrog]

Do you think when Charlie was meeting with Geelong or Sydney they set expectations about needing to tackle and put in second efforts? I’d be surprised if either of these clubs would tolerate his efforts

Most people name dropping Gulden would be having a joke.

Thats not the deal.

Clearly not happening. Seems pretty clear Florent isn't in the deal for the Blues.

Doubt we would pay that much, if any, of his salary.
