Rumour Thread

[pie time]

Look guys I'm being serious here. The swans are trying to involve us in the Tippett deal but they don't have much to satisfy us. That's the only thing that may happen, otherwise Tippett will go into the PSD and let him take his chance there. Good move by the crows if they don't get at least 2 first round picks for him. I say let him go to GWS rather than make a rival contender stronger. Still a bit to play out here though guys. See what happens

heard that too actually, apparantly sydney have offered us luke parker for one of our first rounders, i'd pounce on that!

dave you seem to always ask me my source, take it on my word i didn't lead you astray with the young thing and im not leading you astray with this. collingwood will be taking no further part in trading.

Does anybody else wonder why 90% of posters get confused!
Fair ****en dinkum......what do you get if you're right because it must be ****en good to be so persistent!

 

[HFF]

the only player joining us other then the draftees is jordan russell you can all lock that in

I'm certainly in the Jordan Russell camp. Would be a great option for us.

Sam Reid or bust.

Not interested in trading any of our first rounders for anyone else.

Especially Luke Parker!

pretty sure i said hickey wasn't coming? oh geez look what has happened?, pretty sure i said lynch and young were both happening look what happen? i haven't given one bad piece of information to anyone yet so quit your bitching

 

[TradeDraft]

What did you win? Haha, na I'm just sh!t stirring. Even if you guys were always wrong, I'd probably still enjoy the rumors. You know, as long as you were only always wrong 50% of the time.

Yeah, unbelievable calls you made there as we had'nt shown much interest in any of those players.......

I'm not saying you have given 1 piece of bad information but I certainly don't believe your connected either. My belief is with the club and everything else I post or read from yourself and everyone else on here is pure speculation. The more people that come on here claiming the're connected and have inside information the stupider they look, but hey, if it helps you sleep!

i may not be very closely connected with the club, but i have some very close mates that are friends with a couple of our boys, you may claim i have is pure speculation but i know for a fact when i say something it's happening

If you are right with this and we land Sam Reid, I will shout 10 slabs of Jack Daniels(or rasbery if u under 18). Now thats a fact!!!!!!!!!

The "boys" wouldn't know either. Recruitment decisions wouldn't be run through the playing list, let me assure you of that. In the business world it's called a conflict of interest.

Furthermore, are you really taking credit for saying Hickey wouldn't be coming to the Pies after Walsh had already said as much in his press conference? LOL.

We've got about a dozen pre-pubescent posters saying Clinton Young either would or wouldn't end up at Collingwood. Predictably about half of those ended up being right. It doesn't mean you've got "mail" or happen to be "connected". Even a stopped clock, I tells ya.

Which you do we believe? Add a few more hunches and one of you is bound to be right.

There 2 Different Things

Ok well the people who had seen Sam Reid at Lexus Centre are mistaking it for a Lexus dealership. He was at Lexus of Brighton about a week and a half ago with Ben buying a car before they went off to Thailand. Little clue for you all is that other clubs are like horny little men trying to flock around hookers. They are trying to get them and will only be able to get any of them at the right price. At this stage we have money in our cap and are ready to rock n roll in some deals come the next 72 hours. Skips always delivering something for the people. I am the people's poster!!!!

When you start referring to yourself in the third person you lose credibility my friend.

 

[Kirby]

All I will say is this -> the players are the last to know shit.

 

[frizzle]

I don't understand the attitude to people giving information. Ultimately that information will stand the test of time.
If you can't point out where they got something completely wrong then why ark up & go on the attack.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

since when ...

Hey, it's a rumour thread; post whatever you like, I won't get my knickers in a twist. I just find it amusing that people claim to have genuinely reliable sources on here. Especially when they cite sources which wouldn't actually have access to priviledged information, and make predictions in line with what has already been stated publicly by the club during press conferences.

Incidentally, I heard from the guy that puts the chlorine in the pool at the Westpac Centre that Nick Maxwell is not going to be our #2 ruckman next year. TRS gives you all the mail! Yay me!

 

[Krueger]

Please Walshy don't undo all the good work we have done during trade period with a move like this.

Yes Wood is not the answer and yes we need a back up ruckman but we don't need another Wood clone which is what Hickey is. We need a big bodied proven ruckman for 2 - 3 years until Witts / Ceglar or Gault take over.

Why o why do we not rate Stephan Martin???

Hamish McIntosh was the man. Cats gave up pick 36 for him.

 

[Hardas]

Just speaking for myself here, but why is everyone getting so excited?

It's a rumours thread.

It's not for me to say what people should or shouldn't do when reporting rumours.

I just appreciate getting some news, possible trades [and ludicrous ones too].

It gives me some footy stuff to contemplate, which beats watching propaganda stories on Chinese TV, let me ya.

 

[Old Spice]

More to Maxwell rumour TRS, Maxwell not, I repeat NOT, to join the Chippendales next year.

[hot_pies81]

What a disastrous trade!!

They must rate him very highly. I watched him play a couple of games and for a volleyballer who came to the game late he was impressive. But still, he was drafted under the local zoning rules for Gold Coast and has had less than 100 possessions at AFL level.... Brave move Saints.

Definitely a gutsy call based on exposed form. Seems to have some real contested marking potential from the very little I've seen, but wow.

No, but reading between the lines, we need to get him a VI$Y type deal to pad out his salary demands, so I'll make some phone calls to my sources and see if in fact Manpower is where it's at in 2013.

The Chippendales will be gutted.

With a face like that who would blame them.
