Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025 - Part 2

[PeterSalt]

Been discussed already, he left the same day.

FWIW if you’re seen the pic of him at Gold Coast airport, I think it’s not overly reactionary to see a difference in attitude.

TBH - I'm not that invested

I'll be happy if decides to come here and we get a trade done

If he doesn't I doubt I'll really gaf

Manager wasn't with him on the GC though?

Well whats the reality.

Gold Coast

• Short History
• two finals games
• no real honour board of greats
• a club with limited financial means and resources
• a lack of fanfare and support
• non sport city
• fake influencer style culture
• schoolies
• drunks
• medium sized city

If he is into surfing and wants to build his brand influencer style, have at it.

You forgot...... cockroaches galore.

Until the trade is announced as done, im not going to get my hopes up.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I think we can put this guy in the “lol” column now.

Lol, breaking the big stories... which most of the public have known for ages.

Mind you more accurate than his prediction posts which are usually very wrong.

You're trolling now, I see it.

Thought you were being serious earlier, play on.

Drunk with training report power.

Actually not.

I guess we will see if my interpretation of events is wrong. Hopefully I am.

 

[UcantCme]

I could be completely wrong - Trac seems like a player that he still wants to be a big name of the game

Big club
Big membership and supporter base
Big corporate following
Big home crowds
Big away following

 

[RunBurgundy]

Petracca staying overnight rather than ducking in and out like he did

Might be on seperate flight if the meeting is tomorrow.

Flights into Coolangatta aren’t as plentiful as say Melb to Adel so maybe this is why. Unless you like flying Jetstar

 

[Croweater23]

I’ve got mail that we have been working on the Trac to Adelaide option for some months now.

GC have recently joined the enquiry.

This is consistent with Garry Lyon’s sook on Fox Footy … he made it sound as though Petracca was aggressively pursued by the club, opposed to him opening the door.

Of course he would say it … but still

 

[Redline]

He won't be depth, he'll be in our round 1 side controlling the forward line. If you think he's going to be playing in the SANFL, then I have a bridge to sell you.

Apparently we need his leadership and experience to direct the young guys in the forward line even though we have Fog who is 26, Keys who is 28 and Neil-Bullen a soon to be 30 year old premiership player.

 

[rumour_troll_626]

Clarifying ....we had the largest & best offer on the table, 6 months out from the end of the season

Other offers, continued to leap-frog each other, until it got to a STUPID level that it now is .....and our offer went from the largest to the smallest

It begs the question ....was NWM's form in a half a season, his real level .....or is his 1st half of the season the norm ?

I’m not sure that we ever had the highest bid but were all relatively close for awhile.

 

[madstar]

The fact he’s staying overnight says a bit to me.

He couldn’t have gotten in and out of Adelaide quicker. His wife had never been here yet didn’t spend any time really to check the area out.

Maybe I’m looking too much into it of course but just saying….

Trying not to be too pessimistic but it’s what I thought too.

 

[bigman]

Apparently he met with the suns leadership group prior to tonight’s b+f.

I’m hoping we got at least some players for our presentation. Pretty sure Daws was away which doesn’t help.

 

[Amacca 23]

Jesus i have a headache from that clown on the petracca thread

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I’d been hearing GC for a while (which I mentioned on here). But I don’t really know which one he’s leaning towards at this stage.

Do you know what happened to the Steven’s chase?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Just on the "did he stay overnight" thing - you can do MEL-ADL-MEL in a day comfortably; MEL-GC-MEL not so much. It's just time/logistics.

Plus the news broke at around 2:30. Say he left in the afternoon and landed on the GC at, say, 4, then he's not going to head back to Melbourne on the same night.

I know it's natural to be pessimistic here (including me), but it's getting a bit silly.

No doubt ANB involved

Did he travel with Wife and Manager ?

 

[FantasticShirt]

You would hope they're formulating a plan for next year that doesn't include Petracca and goes beyond "Rankine and Rachelle will fix it".

Has Bryce Gibbs attempt #1 written all over it

 

[bigman]

No doubt ANB involved

Assuming he’s not on holiday as well.

Easier for the suns to have players involved with a best and fairest midweek.
