Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2026 - Part 2

[relapse]

Petracca for 7, 8 and F1st.

Suns throwing around picks because they have three Top 10 Academy picks and only need late picks for them.

F*ck this league.

2 x top 10 picks and a future 1st for a 30 year old?

Surely that's not the deal

 

[Coopers]

One in particular from all reports.

His moustache?

 

[Viva la Mattner]

GTFO basically from WBD > JUH

 

[bigman]

His moustache?

Bit further south of the moustache!

 

[Syd Crow]

Bit further south of the moustache.

Neck?

 

[Scorpus]

Adelaide has arrived at Marvel

 

[spexau]

Three em-dashes, has JUH used ChatGPT to formulate his farewell message?

 

[MrBarry]

That is why it is easy to believe we walked away from Petracca.

We can't trade that much Draft Capital out on a a 30 year old.

GC can, as they have their Academy set up which essentially makes the first round redundant.


Drafts and trading are supposed to equalise a league. The AFL have too many artificial practices in place for that to work.

Still reckon all things being equal he would have wanted to come to us, but given he knew we couldn't get a trade done didn't bother nominating.

Sorry crew , looks like we’re out of the running for the few I’ve heard about over the year
We were into Oliver contrary to media reports , Burgo leaving effected it to some point

Will continue to keep my ear to the ground , the lesser of my sources confirmed on Monday they’re off to Port so maybe get some bits of intel there
Time will tell

We probably hoped to get him for a single first rounder. Which for most clubs is realistic

Any word on George Stevens? I saw another poster mentioned he may have been in Adelaide the other day.

I know we (WCE) are interested in Clohesy from a Geelong and he (Stevens) has been mentioned also.

[SLOWNE]

very good in the air marking wise but needs a lot of work on his footskills.. so a smaller ROB basically

Been a long time since ROB was 'very good in the air'.

 

[Mutineer]

Not sure, but we didn't even try

Because it was an absolute exercise in futility, but of course you know that.

Gold Coast don't value top picks because they get handed out like candy to the nepo baby sides.

Just had donuts and coffee first.

Imagine the kick to kick between Finnbar and ROB at training. For most it would be reliving childhood - counting how many times they can kick it to each without letting the ball hit the ground.

They would never make it to 5

 

[GreyCrow]

Bit of a red flag when people bring up how good a players personality is imo. I really hope this wasn’t factored into the trading decision

''good bloke ''

 

[Syd Crow]

When was our last interstate game?

 

[BunjiMac]

So did he agree to not be getting paid the reported $900k he was scheduled to earn this year from his Dogs contract?

Why would he do that? He'd have to be high if he agreed to that

 

[jackster83]

Gold Coast don't value top picks because they get handed out like candy to the nepo baby sides.

And now Melbourne will now mysteriously not bid on any of GC's academy players.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Deal has already been done & saves for TV last hour.

Probably done weeks ago
