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

Both want Port but both cannot get there.

Yup, Perryman to port seems like a given now.

 

[Mostyn]

Not a chance!

We extended Nicks early so as not to upset our finals apple cart remember

Fair - in my estimation of "we", I'm probably weighting the supporter base too high and the actual club too low ...

Cumming was the one that was in the box seat for Port originally.

 

[bettingonbetts]

Surely if perryman/ cumminng haven’t signed up in the next week or so they’re gone.

Gut feel says we’re a big chance to land at least one.

I believe Perryman will be going to Hawks/Port.
I have a gut feeling about Cumming, super exciting if we get him over.

Also I’m reading about people saying Luko is not worth it? Has anyone actually seen him play footy….
He’s a great forward, can play wing and even had a stint in defence. All rounder, he will flourish and has a heap of potential

 

[cleanhands]

Come on Sanders just start an alias

Where have you heard they both want port?

Connection to the players.

he could use cleanh@nds

 

[CDC60]

Luko is an upgrade on Burgess, Cook and Gollant, but that's about it on his career so far. Jack Watts Mark II

 

[cleanhands]

he could use cleanh@nds

He might

 

[Crow till I die]

He might

or he could be cryptic with his avatar

Both want Port but both cannot get there.

I don’t believe this is correct

 

[GROTTO]

Come on Sanders just start an alias

The pure irony of Sanders searching for each of Alex's new aliases should not be lost here.

The hunter has become the hunted.

You just nailed it, come back as Alex’s Ghost

 

[GROTTO]

Didnt he accuse you of being Alex once?

 

[GROTTO]

Fox Footy last night saying Luko is worth a 2nd rounder.

 

[cleanhands]

Didnt he accuse you of being Alex once?

Certainly did he was very **** sure, got many bans thru our arguments

 

[Mostyn]

Stringer had off-field issues and issues with his team mates on his poor training standards and lack of professionalism, it’s not a great comparison

It’s also a long bow to draw to suggest that Luko being dropped impacts his trade value, Izak was dropped and we still paid a 1st round

I think we need to not create low-ball expectations, he’s a high end pick and talent, only been dropped once in his career and is under contract.

Minimum will be a future first and something else…..

Stringer also was the leading goalkicker for a premiership club and three times led their goalkicking, was an All Australian, and was in their best dozen players.

Izak Rankine was dropped in 2021, in his second year. He played all of 2022 and had his best year on record before asking for a trade to us.

Luko has been tried in multiple positions and has now been dropped from a failing side at the end of their season as they try new things for the future.

IF GCS want to maintain he's a required player and worth a lot - well, they're doing a terrible job of protecting his trade value.

 

[skam85]

Agree. He didn't seem to have been a bad boy immediately before his banning. Similarly for 1970, who was also talking sense. What is going on here?

It's gone soft.

 

[skam85]

Come on Sanders just start an alias

I'm going to instantly think it's Alex until proven otherwise

 

[Mostyn]

good point

we still paid a 1st round pick for Izak who was uncontested, so any suggestion that we will get away with paying 2 x 2nd round picks for a contracted player it’s just not going to happen.

I'm not really sure how you can say that. The value of a player that a club doesn't consider best 22 has been set before in a LOT of trades.

It didn't matter that Rankine was uncontracted, because we couldn't get him in the PSD.

MAYBE he's a late first - but that's really the same value as two seconds.

 

[Crow till I die]

Fox Footy last night saying Luko is worth a 2nd rounder.

You would hand a 2nd over every day of the week for him imo..good to hear the outside noise (media) is aligning with this sort of value, not that it has any bearing and any trade

 

[cleanhands]

I'm going to instantly think it's Alex until proven otherwise

The man with two hats

 

[OccamsRazorRay]

Luko dropped

Yeah he’s gone

If Nicks is up there having a chat to him then GC almost certainly have given that blessing
