Rumour Tales from the Henley Beach Cafe: CROWS 2021 RUMOURS

[GameofSloanes]

If he says he wants to go to Port, he's 90% sure of getting there

0% if we match the deal
But yes, players usually end up going where they want.

 

[radiojake]

Why would we make Port of all clubs more likely to win? If he's going to go, make it to a club that won't impact our market share, exposure, sponsorship etc

That is some myopic vision there

Port shouldn't be treated any different to the 16 other clubs

 

[Jack McKraken]

Frampton, Howard or Ryder?

I’m sure it’s all scuttlebutt, but there is a rumour thread buried somewhere on the main board about this

Didn't Doogs drive the boat that dislocated Ollie's shoulder?

No, that was the captain.

I've heard that Thilthorpe has had a psych review and is fine, but would probably develop debilitating anxiety and depression if drafted interstate. Has a note and everything.

Smith (Bulldogs) has some form of Obsessive/Compulsive disorder apparently

 

[plugger59]

I heard a rumour about why he wanted to leave too. But that reason was traded instead

That ’rumour’ is very strong. I have heard it confirmed from people from inside the club. Apparently the break up was quite acrimonious. It was a case of, ‘this town ain’t big enough for the two of us’.
I know that this is still a rumour only but I do believe it.

That's genuinely interesting. Is there any more info on this?

I read it 'somewhere' 6 months or so after he was drafted. No idea where though. Apparently the was the reasoning around him not wanted to be drafted to an interstate team

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Holy hell, I feel like we’ve been rumoured to have paid that debt off 6 times over in the last 2 years.

Bryce, get the f**k out the TAB mate, you’re a dud punter!

He was in an Adelaide bar this week with Atkins not sure he has quit the punt according to a mate.

Not quite, that just gives us the right to trade him as any other uncontracted player. He could still say he won't sign with us and then it's off to trade fortnight.

If they offer us Connor Rozee I'm sure we'll negotiate.

We can dream

With his abs looking symmetrical??

Probably more like Burton liking all the coffee cups lined up the right way in the cupboard

Fair enough, Rafa Nadal needs his 8 water bottles in a straight line or he can't play

 

[FR0GGY]

Fair enough, Rafa Nadal needs his 8 water bottles in a straight line or he can't play

And no wedgie.

 

[latinoheat]

Guess again. Not that I think the rumour is true

Can you pm me the rumour please

[Betts are off]

Guys, come on. I know this thread is convo friendly but surely we should draw the line at posting 2 year old articles in a 2020 rumour thread...
