Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2026 - Part 2

[Crows I Am]

Seems like this trade had been flagged by the AFL to happen on the final day. The entire trade period seems like it is stage managed to try and build up the excitement on closing day. I'm sure they have already locked in the timings for all the trades that will be completed today.

Just doesnt make sense that this trade has not already been done prior to today.

As I said in the other thread it's waiting on other clubs / deals. It will get done but with Brisbane and us having nothing else on they waiting to see if a third club gets desperate and offers up the picks that Brisbane want.

May wasn’t here due to anything trade related, confirmed by Sam Edmund an hour ago

“May rejects port, would rather travel to Casey”

So Elite Crow could come back?

I thought Elite Crow requested his account to be deleted instead of being banned? If it's the former, he just needs to go to Chief with his hat in hand and request it to be re-instated

Is it shrinkage related?

"Excitement" lol.

It's all just to draw people in with clicks.

Even the draft isn't really worth getting excited over any more as the best prospects are all academy/FS and have already been at their clubs for several years by now.

Richmond open to trading pick 4
Time to go chips in

Out :2025 1st + 2026 1st + 2027 1st (will be junk with Tas in) + 2026 2nd
In : Pick 4 (Sharp) , Rich 2026 2nd

 

[Crow till I die]

Feels like May has always been a Port player deep down.
He's that level of flog.

It will be fun watching him with his zimmerframe try to chase Thilthorpe around in showdowns

 

[daniel_4tw]

Is he THAT good? What are his strength/weaknesses?

Strengths

• contested ball
• clean hands/inside work
• strength
• competitiveness

Weakness

• disposal by foot
• outside game
• speed

It’s exact player that would compliment Draper and Rankine.

Carlton gave up pick 12, 14 and Owies for pick 3 last year.

 

[xchadders]

So we could have get Oliver, Hollands, and Thomas essentially for free…. And a potential self combustion.

Not sure I see how pushing our chips in for Sharp

If an SA talent wants to come home in a year or two time, we'd have no FR's to use

Don't mind moving up for Cumming, Mitch marsh or so but using 3FR is too much burnt for future trading bridges

There is noone in this draft worth 2 1sts IMO. Let alone 3.

I tend to agree, the moment I heard something about May being in Adelaide the first thing that hit my mind was Port.

He is definitely the type of flog that would fit right in down there.

 

[Velvet George]

It’s 2 firsts, we get one back and of high value.

Don’t know if Sharp is that good though, I have no idea

 

[bigman]

Gettable said we organised a deal involving 29 from Port which was shut down by the Lions.

We also tried to give 32 plus later picks via the Swans - also shut down the Lions.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Is there a reason we haven’t delisted burgess yet

Being traded to Port for pick 235

Is exactly what we need

Midfield would be set for next decade Curtin , Draper , Sharp

Are they stupid?
He will just walk to PSD

Walk him.

27 1st devalued significantly though

Like the look of that midfield potential.

Very happily give our 1st this year and next for Sharp.

But not to us.
