Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 25, last 28th August)

He’s retiring to Adelaide

He’ll be in Adelaide soon actually I think he’s in town tonight

Caro is spot on though.

Young players need good, experienced players around them to develop. Not Jack Madgen and a bunch of amateur top-ups.

Curtin would have learnt more in a half of AFL than a season in the SANFL.

Nothing wrong with Madgen, the problem is that he’s the only one we have of that nature. Should be able to entice players that are recently delisted and looking to get back on an AFL list.

Neil Balme on the news saying he would take a call from the Crows but not in a full time capacity. It’s a start

If he has indicated he would be interested and we don’t get him it would be another fail for this club,

Would have to be into him given they tried for him twice before.

He is more than gettable

Caro saying coach safe but changes in list management at the end of the season.

Yes, he's in town this weekend for the Norwood vs Port game (and the associated anniversary of the 1984 Premiership team).

The first part of that interview was shown last night with that reason as to why he's here. Tonight's snippet was a tasty bonus though!

The AFL does agree that under the current setup that both SA clubs are not getting the same development benefits in the sanfl that other clubs are getting in the VFL or even WAFL

Excuses and letting the clubs shit development off of the hook. Remember it’s the clubs decision to play draftees out of position when they play AFL, not the SANFL.

If we don’t do that we are ****ing idiots.

I’d put him on the board as football director if he wanted to, that’s not full time or even on the board in other capacity but helping to consult.

Such an iconic game

Tim and Craig going toe to toe before the siren

 

[BACCS]

Fairly clear from that Balme will have a role with the club next year, not the most subtle interview

Stop. My nipples can only get so erect

If they can’t get him now we are far worse than I thought

Just give him what he wants

Norwood saviour

Hope he's healthy. Don't want our clubs ways to impact his health!

It's more about the experience around them and not being able to get better top up players (e.g. recent AFL delistees). That's been an issue with it from day one.

Given our discussions with him in 2021, I reckon he has a fairly clear idea of what he's getting into haha. He appears to like a challenge!

“Nicks needs the support of us…or those around him”

Only thing not to like is the clubs already got the message into him that nicks is going nowhere so throw your support behind him

 

[Tex Danger]

Just give him what he wants

And don’t reduce the offer after he agrees to it like last time…

That must have triggered his seizures

Just on the Burns rumours.

I think any club would look at his position and start to consider other options

Especially if the other rumours of assistants wanting the senior assistant label are true.

If the club was continually getting knocked back because I stubbornly supported Burns I would question his value

The company I work for seems to have figured out the solution for this with at least 10% of the office being 'directors'.

Why don't we just have 5 senior assistant coaches if that's what it takes?!

Legitimate issues but not otherwise a reason he wouldn’t have come
