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!

Brainstrust - what's the reason for this trade?

Makes zero sense points wise. Has to be another pick from them.

 

[BlueHulk]

42 for Khamis?

Message: Deal for Serong from Hawks to Sydney maybe holding things up. Hawks want pick to help with Merritt.

Bit of juggling going on

Hmmmm

That site has been a god send for me

We have to be moving someone else on our list right? Something seems off with our list numbers or am I tripping?

Take your pick of Fogarty, E. Hollands, Binns, Boyd, Acres.

I think he's guessing.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Morris is the one who forgot pick 22 in the Swans offer. So I reckon there's a strong chance he is missing details

 

[AlphaBlue]

Pick 9 is going elsewhere.

 

[reg_lower91]

?

Makes no sense. Essentially give up 22 to move up 1 spot which does nothing as just as likely to get eaten by Dean bid.

Unless 9 is being used one something else... think it might be

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

lets shit on a guy who played a final series with 1 arm and won us a couple of finals huh?

Admit, he is one tough mother trucker. Have to admit, he is probably weeping into his pillow now after reading what I said. Do you really think

that Blake Acres gives a flying f---, what I say.

Does anyone really know anyone?

Good call. I wonder if anyone else could do 20kms a game back and forward then without catching a breath kick a 50m worm burner smack on full forwards chest.
No one can question Blake's effort. Wish we had a few more with that effort

 

[carlton_99]

Pick 9 is going elsewhere.

Can you give us the state it's going to?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Pick 9 is going elsewhere.

As in Gold Coast? Is this a rumour?

 

[Rustica]

Austin and CD look very relaxed

Acres or McGovern. Blake seems the one, as Florent takes his spot and McGov will still be needed in our shortish or undermanned defence.

 

[mochacinolatte]

nah we must be getting a future second back from someone else from the hawks trade.

 

[yibbida]

I suspect most people don't give a **** what you say....

 

[FlowersByIrene]

He has worse disposal efficiency that Acres....

Disposal Efficiency is a stupidly shit statistic. Means absolutely nothing.

*Kicks over 40m+ to a contest are considered effective.
*Doesn't take into account difficulty of the kick
*Doesn't take into account how aggressive the kick is
*Impacted by whether the player marks or drops the ball, irrelevant of whether the kick was good or not.

It's the best way we can do it, but it's a completely useless statistic in my opinion.

 

[gab213]

Todays outcome will set my mood for the off season.
My wife understands which is the main thing.

Go Blues!!

I was married in 95, my wife said that she hoped that Carlton played that way every year, because i was always happy.........we seperated in 2002

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Has to be 10, 22 for 9, 31, 43. That is about even points wise.

Khamis for 43. We get closer to an early Dean bid and get a pick for Ison right around the mark.

Hawks get 22 to add to the Merrett deal.
