Rumour Ticky's 2023 Blue Tick Rumours - Win Prizes!

[Ticky009]

Hi everyone, we're kicking off the 2023 Blue Tick thread once more in time for the upcoming Trade Period.

If you see any rumours posted by verified media (the kind with blue ticks on their accounts) post them in here.

Win Prizes! Shiny badge on offer for the person who posts the most rumours in the thread. Duplicates don't count!

Blue tick rumours are:

• Recognised: from news articles and official social media accounts of journalists/news outlets
  • Rumours via the neighbour's uncle who knows the coach of a VFL team is unverifiable, so no blue tick. Same goes for whatever the latest iteration of a 'whispers' social media troll account is
• Verifiable: include a link to the source, and a screenshot of the bit where it says the rumour
  • Reporters and talking heads thinking it's a good idea for a player to go <here> for 'reasons' is speculation, not a rumour
  • Podcasts/twitter/newspapers etc are the sources we are expecting links to. If you're linking to a podcast then please provide time eg: 5:20min so I don't have to listen to the entire thing.

What are all these predictions the trade preacher has foretold? Hamling was the first time I've heard about him/her/them.

I'm pretty sure they had Adams asking for a trade long before anyone caught wind of it. They didn't have it as Sydney just a trade request. October 2.

Coffield to the Dogs was another one he tweeted pre official announcement.

Duursma to Essendon. Also had the Essendon will try and trade up to get younger Duursma.

Few others with some swings and misses but hasn't been to far off. E.G Billings requesting a trade to the Dogs.

They did mention Adams and the Swans, they said in reply to their tweet that Adams and his Management had been in contact with the swans or something.

I don't think they said anything about a Billings trade, just that dogs had early interest.

Only one they seem to have potentially got really wrong is the Lobb one

Going to be interesting seeing where that Future 1st ends up.

Oh Sam..



and then

Oh Sam..



and then

North do need to trade up because otherwise Hawthorn or someone else will, and they'll take Reid.

The way North are going Hawks must think they're in with a real chance.

To me this is a very confusing statement but potentially a rumour none the less. Comfortable or comfortable to go back to Adelaide?

And to finish off the 4 team mega trade for the one and only Chris Burgess

Terrible grammar, but the rumour is he wants to go home
