News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here!

[Golumless]

Who's this core you're rreferring to ? .... Jacobs, Jenkins, Greenwood & Betts .....if you think that's the teams core then a rethink is required

Also a strong argument, these guys contributed to our poor performance the last 2 seasons

Jacobs, Jenkins, Greenwood & Betts ...versus ROB, Himmelberg, Jones, McAdam, Doedee, and Ned

I know which group excites me more

Betts and Jacobs were apart of our core.

Really it was Sloane, Tex, Talia, Betts, Jacobs, Matt Crouch which acted as our core group of players.

You'd say 2 of them gone, 2 of them being in diminshed roles (seeing Tex should only be there to assist in Fogarty development, and Sloane should begin to transition out of the midfield) would be dismantling it.

Little whispers Bennell is someone the crows maybe be interested in signing as a rookie!
Wondering what the fella crow supporters think? Would u want him here if we could get him for nothing?

Answers should vary between "No" and "**** No!".

Yes

This guy is a horse man and every year sprouts shit

 

[Danger in Texas]

It’s bullshit anyway (look who the poster is), but if we were in fact into him I’d say no. Our culture at the moment is not one that can be prosperous for Bennell. He needs a club like Richmond or Brisbane to take him on

Well I’m sure I read recently that he wasn’t keen on the spotlight of a two team town but would be grateful of a third opportunity East
So that would not be Adelaide

However I would grab him
Has talent in spades

Absolutely yes, if he can get his body right then the rerurn us huge

Thus ckub needs to start taking a few more calculated risks

I’m pretty certain Francou and campo don’t get along. At a school footy match where their respective sons were playing against each other, Francou and Campo stood at opposite ends of the oval and did not say a word to each other the entire game. Yet at the same time they were working together in the same coaches box...

I didnt know that story however, it just validates what I was told

Thanks for sharing [emoji106]

No one doubts this, but his body is clearly unsound. 2 games in 4 years, and zero in the past two.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Jay Clarke reckons Betts will take the minimum wage to go to Carlton. So basically hates Adelaide so much he'll throw away $500K if the rumoured figures are true.

Ive mentiones thus before

Ive been told Betts last year of his contract is nowhere near $500 as his last contract extention was front end loaded

Agreed. But

His body is broken, and it's still less than half the reasons not to go near him!

The only club he's been strongly linked to is Sydney and that all hinges on how he goes after his recent surgery to remove 2 muscles behind his knees, one in each knee....it is still a question if the surgery will be a success until he puts his troublesome calves under load. I very much doubt that we'd be interested personally. I'm pretty sure he has that Colin Young joker as his manager and that's another big red flag.

We’re going to have a lot of list spots available by looks of things. If it’s only a rookie spot he’s going to be taking why not take the gamble?

 

[dylan123]

Never say no to talent at no cost, so yeah, I'd be open to it. Doubt we'd look at him though, we don't usually take risks on players with poor off field records.

Would he honestly knock back a life line thou?

Actually that's very, very wrong, Rossy was actually one of Harley's biggest supporters all along....Peter Bell is the one that gave Bennell his marching orders once Lyon was on the outer and didn't have the numbers to stop Bennell's removal.

aaa

Rather use a Rookie spots on a KPD Matt Merret or a Tom Hutchesson, Hamish Latchford, Jay Boyle and I am sure there are other in the VFl aswell.

That’s not was I was suggesting

Your the one posting the rumour maybe you should have got more info

I don't care if we have to promote every player from our rookie list onto the senior list, and go with an empty rookie list. I still don't want Bennell anywhere near the AFC.

 

[Pea Nut]

I'd be a no on Bennell as well, but I'd much prefer him over Sam Murray. Would put Saunders truly to the test to try get Bennell up and going.

Or made up a better story

We need someone of Bennell's off field character to upset our soft, overrated, mummy's boy, self-rating, mentally weak playing list

I’m not advocating his off field antics
Nor others
Just believe that players with some angry Tatts and horrendous piercings showing up in Chapman’s Office just might be a start
