News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here! (Part 2)

[Thetrader15]

Surely we’re going to do a pick swap at some point before draft??!?

Don't bet on it

 

[Thetrader15]

Wow, colour me surprised that we didn't lose Laird, Smith and both Crouches...

As we sit here today, i would be staggered if GC didn't make a late approach for Brad Crouch....

 

[Thetrader15]

We've cleared a lot of cap space I'm thinking

 

[Murray2503]

Our salary cap management must have been completely ****ed. Burton, Riccuito and Reid directly to blame for this. We needed to push out aging players but what we have received back is pretty piss poor. Not overly happy that players of the likes of Mackay, Atkins, Knight, Poholke, Kelly, Hartigan are still on our list. Glad we moved on Jacob's, Otten, Douglas, Betts, Greenwood, Jenkins, Cey. Would of kept Keath. Onwards and upwards. Need a massive draft and a huge preseason.

 

[Josh Jenkins #1Fan]

Extremely disappointed the no discussion thread is closed.

Unbelievable that people weren't able to read the obvious headline and follow the rules

Very hard

 

[Crow till I die]

how is Barrett saying no way would pick 5 and a 2020 1st get Daniher deal done..what a cnut when he was saying a contracted Brad Crouch was worth no more than pick 15..can someone wheel him back to his mental institution

edit pick 9 & future first they that muppet is saying

 

[fuic08]

Barrett is a such a flog, 9 and a future first is way overs for porno mo joe. Still saying they didn't offer enough. Yet pick 15 is overs for Crouch.

CONFIRMED TRADES/NEWS ARE NOT RUMOURS

 

[rabidcrow]

Are you going to be sick of a F/S and 1 possibly 2 NGA players who are all rated first or second round players for next years draft? There is a much bigger picture with this pick trading.

Plus we may still trade picks for the next few weeks - I think? So loading up in draft picks may allow us to move higher up

regardless though this is the reset many have been asking for - opposition clubs aren’t stupid and know we wanted these guys out so position always weakened regardless of fans thoughts about keeping guys here

No there’s not.

Stop sucking up

 

[mattymac]

talk is if daniher goes, ess will go for jenkins.

but collingwood are still the favs.

At this point I just picture you sitting in that Henley cafe pretending in your mind that Bob and Joan are Jenkins and Daniher.

All Brad's Christmases came at once. Frontloaded to buggery.

There must be something on the cards next year. Even we can't possibly spread what we've cleared over our current list. Surely.

Sure, like Lloyd Christmas asking out Mary Swanson.

I really hope we don’t do anything with Brad. We have a really inexperienced side. Even with Nicks on board there is every chance that we finish bottom 4 next season. That means Brad’s FA compo will be a top 5 pick. He probably isn’t worth that in an open trade, so it’s a rare opportunity to make the FA system work for us in a big way. For a club that is a few years away it’s the smart move for us imo.

Nah..i want him to be a 1 club player and he will be integral to our side for a number of years to come. Players of his quality don't drop out of trees

I want both the Crouch's to be coached out of Campoism and be coached to take care with their disposal and run hard both ways.

Matt had that in 2017. No idea where it's gone but they need it back to reach their true potential. If they get that right we'll have two absolutely elite mids.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Has damo ever mentioned us in a trade scenario where we don’t get screwed?

He's playing the odds

I’ll take that too. But just thinking about clubs that have had to rebuild. It’s rare that they bounce back in a couple of years to have any great success. Most of the times you are looking at least 4 years before you get another serious crack with a newly built squad. That takes Brad to 30.

I just feel that the smart play is to trade him in and take an extra top 5 pick to the draft. That new kid will be hitting his prime by the time we are next a top 4 side. I wouldn’t trade him for Lamo Barrets suggested pick 15. But a top 5 pick is the smart play if its on the cards.

Is this another of John Who’s accounts?

I don’t post much, but I’ve received more likes from you than from him

 

[ams4crows]

Who is this mystery NGA lad is he from the APY lands and he's about to join PAC or St Peters on a scholarship? Surely we would know by now who this great talent supposely is?

A complete different nationality? An American who played wide reciever or tight end that's 6'5 and an agressive bull of a lad?
A Russian wrestler that has some how learnt to kick an oval ball?
An African refugee that picked AFL over soccer and has elite endurance?

Does any one know who the Mystery guy is? Will his nickname be scooby-doo?
