Thought defamation only applied if you stated it as fact? If you labelled it a rumour, wouldn't you be right? My memory of year 12 legal studies is a bit hazy though
Agreed, but nobody is mentioning 'rumour' in every single post, so not sure legally if it is same to assume given others have stated it a few times as a rumour or not. I personally am not willing to take the chance, or think it's fair on any part unless it's confirmed which i can't imagine it would be.

Personally, it's the Gordon factor. He'd be well across the case as he has been the whole way through. Taking everything else out of it but WADA, if PG supports the move to bring him across, then I'm willing to back him in. I don't think many clubs are better placed than us to make that call.
Only have to look at us picking up Crameri and the way we've dealt with him over this time.

EDIT: remember how it was publicised that players that had moved from EFC decided to get their own representation? i wonder if PG recommended someone for ol Stewie.

It's not a matter of whether we want Carlisle anymore, we need him now. Well, him or Haynes and I know which will be easier to get. I'd much prefer Haynes as he isn't a douchenozzle with ears but Carlisle can play, so maybe I can shirk the no-dickheads rule just this once.
Why not both? :p
If we can make it happen, I would do it

...And you're ok with this card falling Pan?
I'm not sure yet, it's a really complicated situation and unless you're in the cut and thrust of the negotiation, it's really hard to say. Some people know the story pretty well, and by pretty well, I imagine about 12%.
I take this to mean the player who has the issue with Carlisle would need to be on the trade table?
Pass

Pass

Can you say what might be the timing of this card to fall?
I imagine sooner rather than later

I don't know or care to know about the rumours...reading between lines, the bloke has done something for the club to question his integrity.

I find it ironic that we flap our wings on our moral high-unicorn about leaking of information (rightly so IMO), and yet knowingly continue down Carlise negotiations.

Perhaps integrity is only important sometimes?

The Carlisle rumors are an elaborate hoax

Otherwise our board must have the dumbest collection of posters and by some margin on the entire big footy site.

how can it be that not one of you can by innuendo cross reference , allusion or by metaphor tangentially convey whatever it is? I know the standard of education has plummeted but so low?

Libel suit? Really
No no you are given a good water boarding

What croc

Our board has been screwy since last November
Collectively it is much more nasty, humorless, unimaginative, judgemental , self important and touchy

You call our posters stupid twice & then go on to say how we are collectively a nasty crew

Speak for yourself, don't spout insults at everyone just because you've felt left out

But this is the point - I don't feel left out
I am disappointed that you feel a bunch of crap rumors make you special
And that by keeping this secret you are model citizens
It is transparently stupid and embarrassing for our club board

Go check out the other team boards
They are all bemused with this vicious Carlisle rumour innuendo
coming from us

You might not like it but the shoe fits

Or maybe just maybe these 'rumours' are flat out wrong?

Geez how about we dont have a go at the club because we are allegedly interested in a player who has allegedly done something wrong.

Ive finally heard one of the rumours but its the one that has nothing to do with our players and im going to go out on a limb and say its false because it goes against everything we stand for as a club and theres not a chance we would bring him in. I believe fronks that we have a 5 year deal in front of him and because of that i wholeheartedly believe these rumours are false (or at least the one I heard is and the other one is at least being over exaggerated if not flat out incorrect).

How about we give the rumour talk a miss for a bit and back the club which hasnt put a foot wrong in recent years.

Man what a bland uninteresting considered post that is .
I know what your trying to do ,You are just trying to suppress the boards creative and salacious musings.
Cut it out , I am putting together a TV mini series based on this thread.
Who should I consider to play Carlilse ?

Ease up yebiga. People are entitled to share as much or as little as they want and I personally am glad of the discretion and restraint shown by posters with sensitive information.

The last thing we want is the internet running wild with rumours about current or prospective players that make it harder for the club to do it's job.

I honestly don't understand the perceived need for secrecy here. If you know a rumour, why not share it on this thread? Isn't that what this site is about? And if you don't want to share it, for whatever silly reason that is, then maybe stop talking about it? Because everyone's getting ticked off.

Don't understand why a few of us feel the need to hide things from everyone else and then continually refer to it, knowing full well that others don't know what you're talking about.

Whether any of the rumours are fact or not shouldn't concern us too much. The club has a brilliant recent history on making the right calls. Surely the club has enough runs on the board for the fans to back them in. Same goes with taliagate. That being said if the talia stuff is true then I can't wait to see stringer next year if talia ends up at Adelaide!

Your honestly can't be serious
This has been the most vicious speculation I can recall
An exercise in discretion would look completely different
let me help you - lets assume the worst - say Milne - who was involved in a very criminal investigation
The innuendo around Carlisle is patently worse
The mature discretionary stance is contemptuous

Lets say I was the first who knew about Milne's case
Would it not have been possible for me to state on bigfooty that he "may have boundary issues with women"
Would that be worse than me suggesting outrage that St Kilda have not sacked him, wondering how any of his team mates could endure his presence. The first we understand and Milne retains his dignity in the face of serious allegations in the second your acting as the judge jury and executioner whilst pretending how mature and discretionary you are being.

Seriously are you 12?

I alluded to this possibility a while back but I don't know enough about Lowden (or his standing at the Crows) to confidently say whether it's a good/realistic idea or not. What I've seen has impressed me and I don't see a lot of opportunities at Adelaide, but my exposure to him has been minimal. It's an idea I'm open to though. Not really interested in crappy picks, and many of Adelaide's trade bait options are small inside mid/forwards, much like us.
Luke Lowden 206 cm 103 kg DOB 22/02/1991 is certainly a good age
profile for our team, and is approaching the age where he should peak.Adelaide have a few other ruckman principally Sam Jacobs at
202 cm 102 kg, Josh Jenkins 199 cm 107 kg more of a forward,
Jack Osborn 205 cm 110 kg former basketballer with great hands and
leap, former Vic-Metro CHB and ruck Reilly O'Brien 201 cm 98 kg and
Harry Dear 197 cm 98 kg son of Paul Dear who is also more known
as a forward.
