Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025 - Part 2

[Mr_Moogle]

I feel like Port were a little too happy to move him on, thinking they'd get a bounty. This then backfired and they'd burnt the bridge so had to let him go when he chose differently to their plans.

Agreed but who is to say Melbourne aren't overplaying their hand too? They have a new coach, want to free up that cap space and get picks for a mini-rebuild and Gold Coast know this. I wouldn't just cave into whatever crazy demands Melbourne have just because he's a contracted player.

 

[Betts are off]

Do we roll the dice on Tarryn Thomas? Apparently he is eligible to play as of today.

The only thing Tarryn Thomas is good for, is making Elijah Hollands look less risky.

Odds on to join Jamarra at the Gold Coast. Party central

Or if we want to collect the full set of "lengthy ban for non football acts" players

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Adelaide will be giving pick 16 to Brisbane for Ah Chee.

Is that you David ?

 

[fossilllCrow]

Surely for peanuts we could go Achee, Hollands and Steven’s, trade up to around 10ish. suddenly not a bad period

 

[Crowboto]

Adelaide gets something back but will be parting with pick 16.

Elspeth

Thanks Ms Hussey.

 

[FR0GGY]

Buckley has joined Geelong as an assistant coach

Who knew he was the farming type

Is there an AFLW side that wouldn't cause Mayhem, if Club ventured to recruit Thomas

 

[FR0GGY]

Not enough to part with anything though?

 

[FR0GGY]

Could have really tested that culture and brought in JUH, Oliver, hollands and Thomas, without spending much at all.

Well I would. 6 foot 4 wingman with genuine power and footy smarts. I felt he lacked toughness early in his career, but certainly didn’t shirk the contest last time I watched him and he is quicker than he first looks. I suppose it would depend on what his conditioning was like, and whether his motivation was right but I certainly think he would make us a better team. We also bid on him so obviously spent time on him as a junior.

nb. I make no mention of his off field issues because personally I make it a point to never judge people I haven’t met, but since most people don’t share this view I suppose the club would have to consider the supporter bases views on him as well.

 

[DJ75]

Really surprised that no club seems to be coming hard for Butts.

Surely Sydney or Bulldogs etc... who desperately need a good key defender would make a big play. He's got some limitations, but he is a very solid lock down defender.

Would have to re-open Lennies and Heaven if all of them lived in Adelaide.

 

[PeterSalt]

Dan Houston was under contract and Port got bent over.

They’d committed to taking Lukosious and needed picks to get deal done

It's literally the only thing Nicks is supposedly good at. We should be the best club in the league for this.

When you see what clubs offered for Ben Mackay it does make you wonder.

 

[Syd Crow]

Taryn Thomas come on down.

 

[DJ75]

Bizarre. Butts is better than Mackay.

 

[DJ75]

What a masterstroke that was!

 

[fuic08]

Bizarre. Butts is better than Mackay.

Said this when the McKay free agency deal was going down

 

[LoBu]

You'll all be very happy to know there is a very good player not spoken of in the media close to coming to the crows, The other club will hopefully agree to allow thr trade in the last few days of TP, They are happy to come here, and would be a 5 year deal if goes through. This will be out in media just before it hits.

Redhorse, can you give a clearer indication of who the player is (Vic club?), and whether this is still happening?

 

[Golumless]

Yup, likewise. As much as Butts completely sucks at the one thing that gives key defenders a lot of value (intercepting; and this is what suck Essendon in with McKay), you'd think there would have been a club desperate enough to pay a decent amount for an ok-ish KPD.

Unless the AFL world at large has seen right through Jordon and that his run of solid play was more a consequence of Worrell/Keane breaking out then anything Jordon did/offered.

You're new here are you?

Thats what she said

Your views have certainly been against the grain on a lot of stuff
