Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025 - Part 2

[UcantCme]

Pretty clear that King's taking control and will either fly or die on his terms...."It's my way or the highway" re Oliver.

King was Geelong’s midfield coach when they were going hard at Oliver.

So, in summary:

Petracca leaning towards GC or staying.

Clarry is playing VFL or for the Crows.

And there are a lot off annoying people who change their usernames for reasons:

Baccs - Thrillthorpe7

The Sloane Ranger - Ucantcme

JeffCrowe - cromulent

Hey Shorty - cromulant

Bicks - Mutineer

We aren't getting him nor are we getting any of the other top rated SA players this draft

Hmmm ... finish top and bow out in straight sets giving us a terribly late first round picks which means we can't get a highly rated 18 yr old, nor please Melbourne or anyone else for that matter for a trade to get a quality mid

OR

Finish 10th, miss Finals, sack Nicks, and get a top 10 pick and a real shot at a Sharp or Schubert.

I know what I'd rather right about now.

Yeah nah another year with no finals and a new coach comes in, doesn't scream stability to new prospects

I am not a fan of Nicks at all FWIW

Melbourne basically confirming the media reports from earlier

I don't think it's definitely either of those yet for Clarry.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Elite Crow - for George

But I’m not annoying

MFC right now....

So what you are saying is?


Baccs July 26 2024:

"I think I’m done, cya guys, has been enjoyable for 15 years but getting quite sick and tired of the toxic nature of this board. Impossible to have any sort of reasonable debate without people trying to point score. Might be back later, but doubt it."



"I think I'm done, cya guys, it's been an enjoyable 15 years of happy clapping, but getting quite sick of looking like a real goose so i gotta go hide under another user name, I'll be back in a month".

This is a joke btw, so relax.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Love me some Calamarchi and chips

 

[PeterSalt]

We've all been there.....

What an amateur .. I was naked

 

[UcantCme]

Four midfielders finished top four in GC BnF with 11 votes between them

Good luck to Petracca getting more minutes in that midfield

 

[Syd Crow]

Elite Crow - for George

Can we get a list together for those of us who have been here a long time but not necessarily all the time so have missed the name changes?

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Then add in the fact that Humphrey and Lombard will be looking for mid minutes

No

 

[PeterSalt]

Willing to pay $700k/season for 5 years to not play for them. Wow. What level of toxic dumpster fire is going on over at Demons HQ right now.

If anyone needs me I'll be doom scrolling through the MFC board

They want draft picks - and new draftees are on low set pay

Reminds me of Meta AI's summary below Thilthorpe's late goal against West Coast saying "Did Phil Thorpe score?"

 

[Syd Crow]

No

 

[thebirdman 24]

Don’t know how many times this needs to be said: Petracca hates Oliver. Huge reason he’s leaving as he blames Oliver for Melbourne’s for implosion.

Source: trust me bro. But seriously, as good a source as you can get.

We might get 1 but there is no chance in any universe we get both.

I usually only read a few pages once or twice a day so I miss all the details.

Fair enough.

I hope we can grab at least one them plus another ready to go midfielder. Then another ruck since it sounds like our backup is no better than Strachan.

Melbourne leaked it directly.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

This is why I don’t understand Petracca for them, they basically have a junior version of him in Humphrey. Vic clubs will just come even harder for him now if Petracca comes in and effectively takes his role.

 

[feenix67]

But I’m not annoying

except when you steal the covers apparently. pisses jenny off.

Depend what he wants, they are clearly selling him a 70/30 forward and midfield split (don't think he will be an even ok forward).

 

[Mutineer]

King was Geelong’s midfield coach when they were going hard at Oliver.

So now he's patently aware of Oliver's issues front and forward I wonder why he'd change his thinking Hmmmmm?
