Rumour File #6

[HBF]

Even if that Henderson rumour is true, would he move again making GWS his third club in the space of 3 years? I wouldn't have thought so.

Here's one:

Anyone see the rumour on the Scandals and rumours boards about a 3 year - $2Mil offer from GWS to Lachie Henderson.


..I'm mean I like the kid but $660K a year for Hendo is ridiculous !

maybe he prefers a Qld winter

 

[PooMonkey]

Rumour file seems pretty thin on rumours. Who does the filing around here?

I heard something about Murphy a while ago...

And if he does go then do we get Tier 2 compensation for him considering age and size of contract ???

I posted it. There's a couple of cluey posters over there. I somewhat doubted my source again - as I said, will only post things I hear that are pretty definite on this board. That forum is squarely for potentially rubbish-ish type stuff. People suss it out quickly. Hoping that's the case here.

However, another poster (regular on the CFC board) who I pm'd about it had heard the same Hendo to GWS rumor - doubt our sources are the same.

In the current environment, anyone without a contract is fair game for speculation and he hasn't got one.
Doubting something may not happen is just not good enough.

We need to secure our premium boys.
That may well be some way down the track but until it's done, it ain't done.

Terrible news if true as i feel he can become a great defender for many years.

Exactly. Just because the offer may be out there - and let's face it at this stage it most likely is - does not mean that he is going to take it in the slightest.

The rumor was simply that the GWS had made the offer. Who haven't they made a ridiculous offer to?

Murphy and Kreuzer already turned down contracts worth at least twice what they agreed to sign with the Blues for.

What we have in our favour in this GWS chequebook couple of years is that the Blues are, perhaps next to the Pies anyway, the team that players would least want to leave. There is definitely a buzz of impending success in the air. They're winning games, playing some great footy, have some real stars and excitement machines, and can sniff a flag. Take a lot of dollars to smell better than that.

I don't reckon we'll lose anyone.

stop rubbing your physio's

The thing is he volunteered to be traded for Fev because he wanted to come back to Victoria so I would doubt very much that he would go interstate again. A defender in a possible premiership is much more inviting that playing for a club located in the AFL outback getting hammered each week. Money or not.

 

[gbatman]

Henderson left for two reasons that were obvious. Wasn't getting a game and was and the possibility of moving closer to home.

 

[BlueGibbs2011]

Of course he will stay. We have a lack of KPP talls so that guarantees him a job security at the Blues.

 

[Pafloyul]

Don't worry, Big Sim, it's just the heavy-handed way some football supporters tend to deal with cognitive dissonance. I don't think they know they are doing it.

 

[Sam The Doc]

We should throw the sink at getting John Butcher...Will be a superstar!

 

[JuDDysthacaptain]

We should throw the sink at getting John Butcher...Will be a superstar!

Agreed!!

 

[Mister Carlton]

We should throw the sink at getting John Butcher...Will be a superstar!

Do you want to kill him?

 

[Sam The Doc]

Do you want to kill him?

Well if we throw the sink it will be killing port adelaide and we will save butcher.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Well if we throw the sink it will be killing port adelaide and we will save butcher.

So literally...?

 

[Sam The Doc]

That'll do haha

 

[Chism]

Massive rumour going around work this morning from very good sources saying Sam Mitchell to GWS.

 

[zeeCFC]

Whoa, would be a huge dent in Hawthorn's premiership chances after this year if true.

 

[W. Smithers]

Hawks want O'Maera badly.

 

[HARKER]

Hawks want O'Maera badly.

Who doesn't?
Mitchell may go some way to getting him though.

 

[coryne]

If it takes more than Mitchell to get O'meara (aka an AA midfielder having the best season of his life) then I doubt many clubs would have a chance of landing him .........
