Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXV - 'Loopy' Season has begun

[Blue_Fusion]

Well that sucks... but always felt like it was too good to be true.

Hopefully we address our midfield problems...

Re Stringer:
I'm not understanding where all this 'Club has met him' talk comes from or why it's still relevant.
Didn't SEN say he activated a clause for an additional 1 year on his Essendon contract early this week?

He's looking for 2 years. * have said no more than your existing.

It's all a ruse. Trac is coming to the Blues.
BET YOUR HOUSE ON IT!!

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Pavlich still a chance?

Last quote from the man himself had him at Port in 2025.

 

[myblueroan]

Well seems that was fun for a lot on here while it lasted...

It created more interest than our finals games thread

Only cos of break.

 

[macky99]

Anyone in their right mind knows this isn’t over.

He was never going anywhere, no club would be willing to pay up for a 29 year old, time to move on.

 

[SolGoodman]

He was never going anywhere, no club would be willing to pay up for a 29 year old, time to move on.

Can categorically say that he was 1000% intending on leaving if he didn’t get what he wanted from the club (not sure what it was, guessing some staff and “culture” changes)

This does nothing but confirm that the club gave (or at least guaranteed him) of what he wanted.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Happy that this makes Sam McClure look like a douche

He didn't need this to create the look

 

[BigFrizz36]

Fair to say that although these things can be fluid throughout that some our alleged ITK posters have been proven to be a fair bit off the mark in regards to Houston and Petracca.

No great fan of McClure but this was a definite story.

Read between the lines. Dee’s were never going to get what they wanted so the two parties agreed to get on with it.

My guess is that no club was ready for him to leave and therefore a trade wasn't foreseeable. May be down the line if their culture doesn't improve for Petracca. No club was ready for a trade of this magnitude.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Old mate Petracca clearly didn’t want to take a pay cut.

Hope the Dees fall off a cliff now and that he is happy with his millions

 

[Michael Jezz]

Petracca off the market forces the Carlton Football Club to focus on fixing the underlieing issues that preclude us from winning a premiership. They are
A) Winning the elimination final
B) The fitness department
C) A genuine 2nd KPD ( not just Haynes)
D) More onball speed from stoppage.
E Obtaining an additional top 20 pick
F) Nailing 2 x top 20 picks in addition to the Campos

 

[Aphrodite]

Well that is that!

 

[Chemical]

Man Melbourne is in a deep hole at the moment

 

[myblueroan]

Oh Bundy
Are you sure you want to pick this hill?

 

[SolGoodman]

Also, you best believe this news is coming out now because of that diabolical interview on SEN from the president.

 

[DangerousD]

I couldn't care less what players are earning

What about meet half way, clubs salary cap positions are made public knowledge

Got a cafe at Casey fields I’ve been told.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Well that is that!

 

[mochacinolatte]

Exactly why I didn't get excited at these rumours.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice eight or nine times however...

Is conigilio still coming?

 

[BlueTongue]

Complete Muppet. Embarrassed he claims to be a 'Supporter'

 

[Wickzki]

I stand by what was posted on social media yesterday.

In fact the same player agent is doubling down on it after the two statements.

So who knows? I certainly don't.
