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!

I come to get a read on what you're thinking in regards to Charlie, I left for 5 minutes and come back to an extra 6 pages lol, calma!

This is our finals, you guys wouldn't understand.

Days like this I’m glad I keep a spare phone charger at work!

Time to get up with the times The Old Dark Navy's ...

Like a Swifty dad at a Taylor Swift concert, geez..

It was the best example I could think of as far as tears and frenzied screaming. Modern music fans have their phones in the air.

 

[Weitbricks]

C4 clearly has seen the deal for Curnow, has seen Florent isn’t in it so thought we weren’t getting him


I wouldn’t be saying he’s wrong

and to be fair to C4 they did canvas the league for a third rounder, looks like we picked up the phone first.

Happy with Florent for a F3, slots straight in at HB round 1 2026.

Actually going on the informed info from the nice Swannie supporter a few pages back. Florent is a natural wingman, loves to gun and run.

Not a defensively minded player, but more of a quality linkman on the outside.

 

[bmaurizio]

Florent for a F3 is such a great outcome for CFC , Ollie is a very decent player , he must have a huge contact, definitely a salary dump by the Swans. Very happy with result, a good footballer.

 

[Hammer49863]

This obviously means Hayward must still be a part of the original trade

You would think the Curnow deal is ready to go. If Florent had to be talked into coming, and it is a separate trade, Hayward coming must have been part of turning him around.

It is odd because Cal said Swans lose ~1.2M in salary for Hayward and Florent. You'd assume Hayward is on 700Kish so Florent on 500K doesn't sound that extreme. Pretty much the average AFL salary nowadays

 

[Navara79]

Future 3rd for Florent

 

[zeggie]

So Charlie for Hayward and 2 1st now the likely scenario.

Doubt it, why not just include Florent and the F3 in the trade then?

An Acres replacement

True but it's a lot for someone not in your best 22 which is how Sydney would see it

 

[Matty411]

Because it might be part of a 3-way move? OR they wanted to get it done separately for optics.

Maybe it was just easier administratively.

Who knows.

Matthew Lobbe was interesting though … loved a bent over belly laugh

 

[berisha]

For a brief moment I thought we might actually have been holding firm and sticking it to the Swans, like what they did to us with Papley. But no

He has worse disposal efficiency that Acres....

 

[Blue and Silver]

An Acres replacement

He off somewhere?

 

[ctwenty1]

maybe gets confusing pedning whats happening with salaries etc? idk

 

[windows1]

You're right dammit!!! especially when I'm all chips in and my anonymous posting career is on the line!!!

Ill miss you you silly old fart.

 

[Matty411]

Adding Florent and Chesser in one offseason plus Ainsworth makes us more dynamic and tighter on the outside. Hopefully it gives us better ball users from HB and into the F50 to hit Hayward and Harry on the teat.

Getting nervous - would feel much better if it was Shane Rogers and Brad Lloyd handling this.

 

[Graffy4242]

60% of the time they are right every time?
