Geelong going cold on Charlie (for now)

Swans are going hot on Charlie....they are offering 2 first rounders and Florent.
We are asking for 2 firsts, Florent and Papley in the deal, and give them a pick back.

Not Carlton related anymore, but Cincotta if he gets picked up may end up at GWS or Bulldogs.

that they won’t be considering him. #Bluemour

 

[Michael Jezz]

If Skipworth is our snr coaching target, his preference is Essendon. Not saying he will end up at the bombers but that is his personal preference



#Bluemour

 

[Jimmae]

Bits and pieces

Lij well and truly burnt bridges internally, even if no takers there is a chance he goes.

Davies, already made a few sit up a bit straighter. Will hold everyone to account, question, probe and call out things out. If he sees something, he will fix it. Lloyd was very supportive and was the ultimate collaborator, but not decisive.

Fraser, given a license to change forward structure and strategy. Like this move. Hansen in the back half will give us more of the same and Clarkes role is very much stoppage focussed and not ball movement or transition oriented. Skipworth as reported has been a big target.

Huge focus on building out depth so if a Charlie to swans deal happens expect players and picks.

GW made a number of redundancies (4 I think), will have a new sports physiologist and there will be a new role reporting to GW focussed on Data, Tech and analytics.

Club in recent days pitched an offer to Steele Sidebottom to see if he would be interested in a player + coaching role from 2026 onwards. Unlikely to happen but an example of some of the smart wheeling that GW is doing in the background.

#Bluemour

 

[ferrisb]

FWIW, I was at a function on Sunday and a friend who has a family member involved with the Moe Lions and knows Bailey's family was adamant that Bailey is keen on Carlton and if GC were to move him on it would be to Carlton. All parties have spoken about it.

Firmly a rumour, I have no idea on how accurate this information may actually be as its 2nd hand.

#Bluemour

 

[skadoosh]

From a source close to the player -

Ben Ainsworth will happen today.

#Bluemour

 

[skadoosh]

Here is a rumour from left field - Craig McRae to the Blues in 2026. Not sure if he is to replace or support Vossy.

I personally don't believe it, but it came from someone who is highly respected in Australian sport. The bloke has an OAM and a lot of contacts. Not the type I would be expecting to spread BS. He went on to say things are impoding at the Lexus Centre and that Fly and Leppa are at war with each other. This last piece is my favourite part of the rumour!

#Bluemour

 

[ferrisb]

In response to Fly rumour above ^^^

I’ve refrained from posting this previously but enough time has passed. We made a big offer to him this year.

The last part is not true unless things have changed very recently.

#Bluemour

 

[Aphrodite]

As I posted the other day (got via Footy Manager) Swans are working on deal that will blow us away.

It’s getting close. I now expect it to happen

#Bluemour

 

[skadoosh]

I was told (two seperate sources) last night that Humphrey remains some chance of heading this way.

Simple arithmetic is they can’t trade for Petracca and have enough points for their two top ten (maybe five) academy picks and at least three other good options. Something has to give.

Uwland, Patterson, Addinsall, Coulson, Murray odds on to be taken, add Hudson, Collin’s, Nancarrow, Harris, Turner and Melb F/S Kalani White as possibilities.

#Bluemour

 

[Aphrodite]

Response to the above

FWIW Port Adelaide think Humphrey and Rogers are still both very gettable.

#Bluemour

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Heard at the races yesterday:

Sydney (& by extension D’Orazio) reluctant to trade any of their A-graders including Hayward. They’re working on players from other clubs that will satisfy Carlton.

One can only assume that might be the likes of Humphrey and/or Walter. Zane Duursma name was mentioned also.

#Bluemour

 

[Aphrodite]

Righto, I'm going with this because I never get info like this (or at all) and it might be my only chance to cover myself in glory and go down in ITK folklore.

I've been told today by a friend (former suns player and still somewhat involved with their academy) that Bailey Humphrey is definitely keen to get back to Victoria and absolutely Carlton is his team of choice. That being said both he and Humphrey's camp are under no illusion that the club will NOT be entertaining any trade requests or offers.

I preface all of this by saying my mate knows I am a Carlton supporter so could be ****ing with me but this would be completely out of character for him.

I am absolutely not an ITK but just thought I'd share what I've heard.

#Bluemour

 

[ferrisb]

Speaking to one of Humphreys close mates, he is telling me that he is confident that Humphrey is indeed going to Carlton. (He may also be messing with me)

Lock Hayward in.

Happy for mods to PM me for source. Repost from main thread.

Summary of the mail I received last night from someone very close to the main man at the Blues and has had direct talks with him the past few days:

• Sydney first offer to be buffed (if not already buffed) if not overwhelmingly good
• GW in the camp of holding Charlie to his contract if we don't get what we're asking for (still a very live chance)
• Charlie has burnt bridges internally, will need to earn back the respect of many inside the club if he is held to his contract

Charlie has unfortunately made a bed that he is reluctant to lie in, but may still be forced to.

Personally, still expect this to be done, and expect a big day of news today.



#Bluemour

 

[bradfisher14]

Well I would of lost closest to the pin.

Charlie wont be at Carlton next year. Don't have exact deal details.

#Bluemour

 

[ferrisb]

Geelong are out.

#Bluemour

 

[TheRedPill]

I expect a deal to get done but we are happy to hang on to Charlie if need be.

The gloves are off for Vossy right now and for better or worse cages are being rattled - Charlie in the crosshairs and not enjoying it one bit. Overall I believe it is a necessary mindset shift to compete with the best.

 

[Aphrodite]

Close but deal will be held over to tomorrow night. Discussion over later picks going

Sorry but all I have. Out the back of Hoi An and internet poor

Khamis done
