Rumour Rumour File 3

It's all over red rover !!!!!!!!

 

[Sin City]

Rumour on twitter that Geelong have got pick 15 from the Gold Coast, not sure what for yet though.

 

[Blueboys7]

Jesus.

GC are getting all the compo picks back!

At this rate the GC will have 70 picks in the ND!

The AFL is a joke seriously, the way they are handling the inclusion of GC17. Give them everything, take nothing.

 

[Blues_Man]

Thats it ..she's all over folks ...pretty happy with Carltons trading ..especially the Richmond and Cats deals ..not too impressed with what we got for Jacobs though ..he was worth more.

All in all it was a good outcome for the club .

Probably for an Ablett compensation pick!

Yep, trade week is over for another year. I can now get off the computer and leave this dark Bat Cave looking place I am in now and go back to living a normal life.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Seems like that's it. So much for the big fish!

 

[Kades_Dad]

What an anticlimax!

I seem to say that every year.

 

[PooMonkey]

Talk about an anti-climax!
No Big Fish, No KPD.....

That's exactly what they did.

Jesus christ.

So the GC tears it up next year with their team built from ridiculously generous concessions, ignores the compromised GWS draft while their already-outrageous crop of talent develops, then weighs straight back into the full-strength draft in 2012 with pick 9-10 regardless of where they finish.

Not sure the AFL realise what they've created.

Nah mate theyll keep all those compo picks for 2012 and the introduction of free agency, and after next years compromised draft.

They can then either stock up another half a dozen first rounders when thier current crop of a dozen 1st rounders (taken at picks # 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13) have a few years experience in their belt, or on trade for experienced players via Free Agency.

Unreal.

We've created a monster.

AFL knows. 16 current teams are the ones who've shot themselves in the foot.

Theyll have their own first rounder as normal, a middle of first rounder from the Ablett compo pick, plus an end of first round pick from Brennan and a second rounder as normal and another pick stright away after their second rounder for Krakouer.

Say if they finish 13th in 2012 (18 teams):

Picks @ 5, 9, 20, 25, 26, 42.

Right in time for free agency.

Source reckons some serious s**t is going to go down in a week or so.

So what was this serious s**t BIB? Or have I missed something?

If any of his trade rumours were to go by i'd say a bit FAT nothing

 

[Mister Carlton]

Fair call.

 

[Sin City]

Yet if the information he's given us all year about selections, injuries etc is anything to go by he's worth listening to hey.

Who was the big fish that didn't catch onto the rod? T.Cloke?

Although we failed to get one this year, I guess the money is still there for next year and hopefully we'll get someone then.

It was all a big media beat up ........

The Rumour Mill - Unbelievable

It seems the visit by Stephen Kernahan to see the Carlton people at Etihad Stadium on Monday morning sent the media into a frenzy. The media decided if the Carlton President was in the building then the Blues must be working on a big trade.

Adding to the speculation was the arrival of the Carlton communications team at Etihad Stadium. By this time the media were convinced something big was happening. The question was, ‘who was the big fish Carlton were looking to recruit?’

*cough, clear throat* Wells, that was an interesting read.
