Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

#BUMP from February


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!

On the bright side, we have a possible replacement in Ison.

Similar size, similar HFF/mid role, similar Pendlebury-lite traits.

Fingers crossed.

Thanks mick Ablett

At Chaddy?

No club wants to lose a good footballer.

It’s not unreasonable to think the club has its reasons for letting him go — and that it might not be in anyone’s best interest, including EJ’s, for all the details to be aired publicly.

Those two things can be true at the same time.

Discussions on why E Hollands has been delisted are not allowed.

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.

Please chat on if it pertains to how we move on/succession planning; wishing him well personally; and or other related but not specific topics

Thanks for your understanding

let's say, ala Sarah Palin, i can see IKON Park from my house

Aints fans going blue in the face trying to convince whoever can be bothered engaging with them, that Jack and all the ither B graders they lured across on ridiculous and unwarranted contracts didn’t come to them ‘for the cash’, but because ‘they believe in the project’
Riiiiiiiiight

There’s a classy way of doing it. Just throwing out a bunch of shit into the media is not the way to do it. Would be an awful look

Contrary to reports there were further issues that contributed to the decision which Elijah is aware and we will continue to support him through.

With respect to Elijah, that is all we’ll publicly say on the subject but we will welcome Elijah back to the club as an ex-Carlton player

No mud-slinging, just some clarification to some bewildered supporters.

well lets wait for the announcement then before we judge the club?

pretty sure Carlton arent relying on x posting in BF as the means to disseminate club information to supporters

 

[Stickitupthem]

Hoping the buzz around the club continues now that we’ve cut some of the issues out of the club only a couple more to remove
Hopefully we can build a team that others will want to come to .

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Confirmed today that there is zero percent chance that Elijah Hollands stays.

if no chance he's kept on the list, why's he still on the list?

Wee-erd.

PS - any talk of Cox coming to Carlton will make me sprinkler-vom.

It’s actually in response to a media article from the player and also the player manager’s public updates.

If club knows best (and for other reasons), some sort of clarity would be welcome vs the non-support that appears from the outside due to the publicised agenda set from the article.

If he’s a DFA, some club will make a play.

which Mod will take on the role of dragon for Beowulf posting in the no discussion thread

Drop a note, why don't ya.

Another club will pick up Hollands 100%. And they will get a bargain.

Bit like Stocker. Why would any club trade for him when they know we are going to delist him in a couple of weeks time.

What’s barren and full of cobwebs?

The Aints trophey cabinets! Likely to remain that way for sometime, particularly due to their current list management strategy.

Because the saints were the only team with any semblance of interest in him. Elijah is 10x the player Stocker is, so the fact that a team hasn’t even offered a completely useless pick shows his issues are well known

 

[lukep_86]

Disappointed we couldn't keep Elijah, has just what we need and showed plenty in the games he played. In saying that, talent will only get you so far. He obviously isn't the right fit for the club and I love what we're doing to try fixing our culture issues.

I doubt it will but I hope it doesn't effect Ollie negatively.

Whoever gets Lij will get him for nothing and there's obviously plenty of upside.

Plenty of downside too, going by Carlton and Gold Coast's experience.

As Fab on the Prendercast said - TDK would be playing with South Morang if they were paying him $1.7m !!

One team?

 

[The Bighouse]

...or they are waiting for the PSD

Straight up DFA or the added bonus of an SSP train-on to assess the merits of adding him onto their list.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Yeah - Nah.
It’s about runs scored & needed to produce a winning season/make play offs.
Getting on base enables runs to be scored.

“Money ball” is now common vernacular for a player who’s “value” is significantly lower than there actual production/output.

It’s buying a valuable asset cheaply as others don’t value it based on “feelings/emotion/bias” instead of the decision being based on straight data/fact - it’s why the term is used in other sports even thou it was coined & most applicable to the structure of baseball

That's because people dont understand what it is.
