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!

C4s account still active ?

Think he was caught emailing the Suns on camera and has some explaining to do.

 

[Sinjin Smith]

My guess from what has been stated on here

Suns get 2 first from picks from Swans – 22 or picks for points from the Blues – Blues get Hayward, Florent and Humphrey – Swans get Curnow

I dont know how it would happen. I did press him on that and the Curnow trade but he said "**** off Sinjin, Ive given you enough"..............fair enough as well.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

If Curnow does not go through.
Ainsworth = Heyward
Florent= 3rd
Curnow either comes good at Carlton or traded for more next year.

Thank You Graham Wright

Curnow has to go through. We have bigger fish to fry with his picks imo

it is all about points

Yeah well we're about -400 points with that trade...

Yep surely has to be more to it

 

[teddy-hopkins]

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.

Why can't they give a stat for whether or not your team mates marked the ball? Ok no stat will be perfect but with DE if you just lump it long to a contest it's deemed "effective".

 

[Blue Gertrude]

What is the method in the madness?

This is not intended to make sense to us idiots on a footy message board.

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.

Makes sense but don't Hawks still owe us from years ago - not the other way round?

4D chess, if we are doing something to help it’s not from the kindness of our hearts.

Football has never been a perfectionist game anyway.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Austin and CD look very relaxed

They do have a certain swagger...

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

wtf is that hawks trade we’ve done

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Florent was a 1st round draft pick - pick 11 - that's all I need to see to count it as a win

likes this, failed at the fact he didn’t draft him

 

[luke livingston seagull]

Brainstrust - what's the reason for this trade?

Every other year we give the Hawks a freebie for no apparent reason.

It’s part of the cosmic ballet of life.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Maybe Hawks said they're picking Dean? Dees did it to ess last year. Something not making sense on this.

What's not making sense to me is the amount of people taking a Tom Morris post as gospel.

 

[Uncle Fester]

it is all about points

yup - balancing the team depth / structure with intelligent player targeting, optimising how we pay for Dean & Ison, extracting value from the TDK, Jack & Curnow deals, setting ourselves up for next years draft

looking promising thus far

 

[carlton_99]

wtf is that hawks trade we’ve done

Is it confirmed?

 

[JimmyRabbit49]

22 would have got eaten up right in the Dean bid? So going back 20 spots doesn't matter and we get our original pick back.

9 & 42 are worth 1557, 10 & 22 are worth 1962 - we go backwards 405 points

Yeah, the statute of limitations has run out on that one. This helps us get Khamis and get behind Ison's draft ranking.

Must be another pick coming our way, say a future 3rd to cover Florent or something else.

 

[mOccO77]

People need to stop listening to Tom Morriss.
He's a proper gimmick

 

[juzza316]

It’s part of the cosmic ballet of life.

And we gave them pick 9 to begin with for being so shit this year! The gift that keeps giving

Or at least consider them incomplete.
