Rumour Rumour File

[Chism]

I dont know if it has been mentioned in this thread as it is to long to read but i heard a rumour today at work. Before i start i am not big on rumours but the guy that told me is as reliable as they come and thus the need why i felt the urge to tell others about it. ( My first rumour post ever!! )

Sam Jacobs will be asking to be traded to Port Adelaide next year. Now i dont know what his contract status is or what we will get in return etc but i was told he will ask the club for a trade come seasons end. Considering we knocked back pick 9 for Hammo last year i cant imagine what sort of deal will be done if this is to eventuate but it is interesting non the less.

Hey guys/mods. Can we get the thread back onto Rumour talk and away from a "Walker for Gibbs trade" thread and all the crap that is associated with it ??? I mean there are pages of bitching about player value and trades, i'm sure this stuff can be put elsewhere !!!!!

port have made no secret that they think they need another ruckman

Okay, pay that. But we certainly get the coverage here.

We get coverage here too.

Of the Weagles and Dockers that is.

Literally there will be a Freo or Subi game on down the road at Subi, half hour delayed telecast of the same game on TV and all three radio stations will be broadcasting the same game.

Foxtel ameliorated this problem a bit.

Mal - try Sport FM

Wilco.

Jacobs for Lobbe and Cam Cloke...

I saw Walker's champs, was very impressive. I also saw a lot of Hurley as a junior..... I'd take Hurley out of the two any day of the week, without blinking.

As would I. And as soon as Essndon realise they should start utilising his talents to their benefit, he'll be one of the best KPP's in the league. He'll be a dead set ripper!

Jacobs and our first rounder for Trengove, done.

They would laugh at that.

Unless we're getting a superstar, I won't be happy if we do another two or three for one trade involving a player and a pick inside the first 25. We need to keep building on what we've got by having a first and second round pick in the next two drafts.

 

[HARKER]

Sorry, no trade rumour here, but do we know how much cash we have to play with through the trade period?
It may well determine just how hard we can drive for what we need.
We should be in a strong position financially and especially that we would have also cleared Fev's contract come years end.

 

[zeeCFC]

Salopek would be great!

 

[michael69]

2 more players being talked to by the Blues:
Steven Salopek
Michael Rischitelli

And in response to that above post, in access of $750,000.

not so sure Rischitelli will come to Carlton after refusing to last year

Don't know what the obsession is with Rischitelli. Salopek would be a good pickup.

Add Stevo's to that as well Harks.

Hell, why dont we throw our 2nd rounder in as well just to make sure the deal goes through!

There's no chance of Rischitelli coming to the Blues, why would he come after rejecting us last year, and why would we enetertain the idea of getting a bloke who didn't want to join us last year, the only place he would go if he were to go anywhere is the GC as they may have a fair bit of money to throw at him and he won't be going far geographically, he clearly stated he didn't want to come back to Melb cos he was settled up in Brissy

Clearly if he's interested in coming back to Melbourne it will just be due to the fact that the Lions are going nowhere

 

[carlton09]

A perfect trade week for me would be picking up 1 solid defender and a mid aged midfielder (Salopek or Rischitelli would great). Any interest in Brad Miller?

 

[PooMonkey]

not sure on Miller, is very hot and cold......
Dont think the MC would be interested in him.....

 

[gbatman]

no aged players for me thanks, I'm a firm believer that that is not necessary. I would love a good defender but they are hard to get let alone trade for.

Boy did that one work out in our favor. Can you imagine if we'd ended up with Bradshaw for 3 years and missed out on Hendo?

 

[gbatman]

miller is not what we need.

I still can't believe that the club signed off on that trade.

Getting Rischitelli and Bradshaw instead of Henderson and Lucas would have been an absolute disaster for our football club.

Thank god they refused and we got a much, much better deal than what initially looked like going through.

Yep. I usually have faith in the guys running our club but surely they wouldn't have signed off on Bradshaw and Rischitelli?!

I would have thought Miller for a late pick (next to nothing) would be a massive win - give him afresh start and a more dynamic, skilled team to fit into and he may just fire. If he doesnt - we've only lost a speculative pick.
