Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

[Trigger13]

Obviously. Our friend here has quite the long history of false claims

You talking about time i said nicks was the coach and you couldn’t handle it? I remember that too. I hope whatever made you into an online troll can be fixed. We’re all behind you, friend.

 

[Southerntakeover]

You can't just lead with pithy openings like 'facts are', then go on to post precisely zero established facts.

Like he was a port fan as a kid.? Fact one. Port are after him. Fact two. What more do you want?

Are we struggling with the concept of a 'fact'?

 

[whattagun07]

Thommo and b.smith were port fans too. Heck for $1m a year, I'd join the port cheer squad

 

[Trigger13]

Are we struggling with the concept of a 'fact'?

Which one isn’t a fact? Do you have more authority on what fact are than I do?

 

[Southerntakeover]

Which one isn’t a fact?

So that's yes?

 

[Firewalker]

John Reid? Out of retirement?

John’s coming back to use his prized conversational skills

 

[Trigger13]

So that's yes?

I’ll ask again. If you know it’s a fact that I’m wrong? Tell me which one is false?

 

[Trigger13]

I’ll ask again. If you know it’s a fact that I’m wrong? Tell me which one is false?

And why.

 

[Southerntakeover]

I’ll ask again. If you know it’s a fact that I’m wrong? Tell me which one is false?

You couldn't be doing more to prove my point.

 

[Southerntakeover]

"any claim I make that hasn't been actively disproven yet is a fact, and even those that have been"

 

[Trigger13]

You couldn't be doing more to prove my point.

so you want me to tell you who I know at Port Adelaide and set up a meeting to verify what he’s been telling me for two years?

Or do you want me to post rumours and spec in another thread?

This board is fu$&ed.

 

[Runnin Blue]

According to the Melbourne website he grew up a Port supporter then switched to Carlton

Petty pleased with Melbourne

Petty says he was surprised, but delighted to be claimed by club

www.melbournefc.com.au

So we’ve established that he wasn’t very bright growing up.

Yes, set up the meeting. You buy the lunch.

Yes, set up the meeting. You buy the lunch.

Done. Meet you at Henley.

Connor O'Sullivan at the same age is streets ahead of Petty potential wise, not even close in comparison. The big question is will Connor still be there at pick 10.

Personally while he might be the better player he is also five years behind.

I just think Petty is ideal. Why we might overpay now he is no flight risk in the future. He is no superstar but gives us an option at either end of the ground for the next 7 to 8 years.

When you look at what clubs have to give up for average key defenders I don't think we are overpaying either, especially if we front load the contract.

Anyway, sounds like it won't happen this trade period. We have 12 months to reassess.

“Streets ahead” you reckon?..

Come on Mutineer.. even you know thats not true..

How can a lad thats not even played one single game of AFL in his life be spoken of as “streets ahead (potentially)” of a bloke thats an AFL premiership player.

You’ve had some seriously bad takes over the years in here but this ones up there with the best of them mutineer!..

McAsey, as you repeatedly told us, had plenty of potential too..

How’d that work out for you.. and, more importantly, how’d it work out for the crows..

Harrison Petty is a “known”.. connor O’sullivan is a complete unknown. Could end up a gun player.. could end up being another McAsey. Could end up being a just above average 250 gamer. No one here.. including you.. can deny that cause no one here knows.

We are coming into a finals window.. we need “knowns” we can use now over “unknowns” that could become great in 3-5 years.

And, as you say yourself, he probably wont be there at 10 anyway.

I am surprised that we still have not signed off on that offer -should have taken a split second to go, yep, deal agreed from our end

The fact we have rejected it outright says to me we will more than likely get a better deal. Time will tell. if this is correct, well played Justin Reid

John’s coming back to use his prized conversational skills

Actually love this footage, sat within earshot (150 metres, nah really 20 metres) at Alberton one day with John coaching the not so mighty Panthers. You have never heard a more foul mouthed tirade of abuse and aggression coming from the coaches box than by JR.

Hard to think Justin doesn’t have more than a little mongrel in him with this pedigree. Just a more refined, certainly public, persona in our new era and considering he was a prominent Player Manager himself before being wooed to the Crows as List Manager. IMO, Justin is a strong asset for the club

“Potential at the same age” is pretty self explanatory isn’t it?
I’m going to bet you didn’t see petty play at that age, I’m guessing mutineer did, not that it means his opinion is right but it probably means he’s more qualified than you or I.

Speaking purely about trading, the vibe I get from Justin is that he's a hard case that doesn't roll over. Huge improvement on his predecessor who didn't even understand the concept of leverage. Noble seemed to think trading was a chance to make friends at other clubs.

Yeah,

and my comment that he responded to was all based around Petty being more valuable to us next year than any player we possible get at pick 10.

If he wants to introduce the name of a draftee that probably wont even be there at pick 10 and hasnt proven a single thing at AFL level yet and try and argue that as some sort of reason not to use pick 10 for Petty..

then i’m gonna call him on that fragile as fxxk arguement.

lol, but there's a difference between a speculative draft pick and proven AFL premiership defender
