Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025 - Part 2

[ams4crows]

I think Oliver is honestly happy to collect his cheque and play VFL I don't think he wants to leave.

Imagine paying a player 1.7 million to play reserves! Melbourne are a basket case.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Don't think so, hey that's shorty

He's CromulAnt. There's a cromulEnt getting around which we think is Jeff.

 

[jackster83]

Yep, you're right. Koster, Bond, Ellen and Connell were all given the flick at the end of 2000.

Mind you, despite Bond and Ellen's heroics, they were always role players rather than out and out Stars.

I'm still bummed about Brett James being delisted.

How on earth do we get Sharp?

Pick 14 + F1 + Berry for one of the 4 West Coast or Richmond picks they have.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Will you stay if we get rid of Oliver?

Next minute Oliver is told to go

 

[Pugsley]

I accused Tom Morris on Twitter for pushing the GC narrative and he sent me a PM

We have had 4 or 5 PM exchanges since and it’s obvious in his messages that he knows Melb prefers to deal with GC but he has no intel on Trac preferred club

Sit down, Thomas and put your allegiance aside.

 

[Fud#3]

Pick 14 + F1 + Berry for one of the 4 West Coast or Richmond picks they have.

Would you do that if you're WC?

 

[Pugsley]

We've all been there.....

The memories......

My tin foil hat theory is starting to look less tin foil hatty

 

[Pugsley]

Going cheap

Melbourne imploding.

 

[Mutineer]

Melbourne imploding.

More likely finally coming to their senses under King's influence.

 

[daniel_4tw]

Would you do that if you're WC?

If I was West Coast? No?

Would West Coast?

West Coast​

Receives: Liam Baker, Matt Owies, picks 12 and 73
Gives up: Picks 3, 63 and 68

 

[LoBu]

Here’s a thought

- Melbourne spoke to both Adel and GC , not happy with either potential trade value , approach Petracca “if we move Clarry on , will you stay ?”

It's actually ideal for us, Petracca not going to one of our biggest rivals for the flag next 4 years, we get Oliver, fingers crossed Merrett is refused a trade too.

 

[Slim258]

Throw in Jones for good measure

The thing about being pissed re midfield is garbage. He played plenty of midfield minutes, not that different to previous years. he’s always rotated forward. And I can tell you that a 2.5 hour drive is much closer than a 2.5 hour flight. People in cities do 2 hour return commutes daily, air travel takes a bit more time than the flight time quoted.

Although, maybe you’re right and when he finds out that Suns have Anderson, Rowell and Miller, he’ll skip the interview and head straight to Noosa.

Does the bloke want to play serious football or loll around on the beach all day? If so he might as well go to GC and no loss to us.

Melbourne imploding.

Has Lever been spotted throwing away his club gear at the local dump yet?

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Will admit, I was against Oliver earlier in the year because I didn't think Melbourne would let him go for as cheap as some thought. But wow it really seems Melbourne have f****d it that bad. We should absolutely be into this, we'd be paying him the same amount we pay Peatling.

 

[Cromulant]

Don't think so, hey that's shorty

Thats CromulANT to you, Bicks.

 

[Pugsley]

More likely finally coming to their senses under King's influence.

I get a feeling it is going to be another Mark Neeld situation.

 

[Pugsley]

Ted, called a crisis meeting

 

[George CantStandYa]

If we don’t get another mid we have no choice but to get Oliver, we can’t go into next year with the same midfield

 

[LoBu]

Oliver doing his new club a favour in the trade stakes by storming out of the meeting and publicly burning the bridge, something Petracca should have done if he really wanted to get away.

 

[119others]

Power offered NWM 25m according to “Pickers”

Holy ****

 

[thebirdman 24]

Whats the problem with trying to get both Oliver and Petracca?

Our midfield would be fixed.

Ruck is still a big problem but rucks are easy to fix if there is appetite to piss off Rob.
