#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!

Shitney has 32, I think that GC17 has 29 (from Port).

You’re right

 

[marcmurphy3]

31+F1 for 22

I reckon it could be 31 + f2 but if 41 is involved it must be for Bhuku. No good to us for bid matching. Not enough points attached to it.

Another option

31 + Hawks F2 + 41
for
22 + 52

But I dont see us getting Hawks F1

Florent for a 3rd is nice in isolation.

 

[Robertio]

Defs didn't mention it would plunge some of us into further darkness.

Hello darkness my old friend.

Re: Florent.. like buying a used car.. walk away and they come at you with a crazy deal you can't refuse.

So how should Hayward be rated for this year?
I like him more than Simpkin

 

[viking12]

Elite move by Austin and GW.

This screams either 3 way trade or Blues targeting another player from Swans

 

[mochacinolatte]

Florent for that pick is great value for a depth player. But his contract must be huge if we only giving a future 3rd.

 

[SolGoodman]

3 way, 3 way, the Curnow trade is more fun when it's a 3 way

If there's a Humphrey in the middle there's some leeway.

 

[Navara79]

Now we need nicknames for Ollie Hollands and Ollie Florent.
I always use Ollie when Hollands has the ball.
What do I call Florent when he has it? Dump?

 

[Blue__Balls]

Can't see how the "Finer details" of Charlie's wage are holding things up, or our problem at all.

Sounds like Swans want us to pay some of his salary.

If they've screwed their books, I'd be happy to pay a portion of his salary for 2026 in exchange for them adding their 2027 first rounder to the deal as well...

 

[The Bighouse]

Any chance they could give us back our 1st this year…?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

I wander what the benefit is of separating the trades? Just making it less complicated?

I guess it isolated the value of Florent.
They kind of tested the market to see what other clubs were offering

I think clerical errors are allowed now apparently lol

I’m happy with where they rated Simpkin because collingwood is left holding its noodle

 

[yibbida]

would be funny if the "Charlie wants to go to Sydney" was all a ruse to get Sydney to trade us Florent to us for peanuts.

 

[JimmyRabbit49]

Could be good for points but are we going to have the list spots to carry 5+ picks into this draft? Or does that not apply for matching bids?

Suns need points for Uwland and Patterson

 

[AndyLucimitis]

I have been trying to work all day.... I have achieved nothing other than sounding busy and making excuses.
Hope it's worth it

Do the George Costanza and look annoyed !

We need a player where everyone (including commentators) calls them by their full name.

Alipate Carlile the GOAT of this

I like it, he can just go about his footy now without the "part of the Curnow monster deal" stigma

I swear by this tactic. It’s surprising how convincing it is.

 

[No1Suspect]

Weren't we not supposed to get attached to Florent??

 

[The Bighouse]

Florent for future 3rd is a much better acquisition.

Hopefully 2027 FF3.
