News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here!

[Coopers]

Reality is most coaches will want the job, but they'll want a few things cleared up first.

I'm sure there are plenty of coaches willing to accept a big paycheck for a few years of doing whatever the board wants and having no control.

Hell, I'll do it for the money.

 

[Mutineer]

No, prefer Keath & Doedee ....rely on Butts coming thru & draft another KPD

Love Cox at the U18's ...but he's not what we need ATM

And if Keath is on the move?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

And if Keath is on the move?

Confidnt he'll stay !

 

[Crouch#44]

Confidnt he'll stay !

I think we will pay him the money and let hartigan dissipate

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I’d be trading Hartigan for a 4th or 5th round pick. Get him off the list so we are never tempted to ply him again. Ditto Kelly

 

[Pugsley]

Mumma Camporeale makes a mean Lasagne and her Cannoli's are to die for .

Mamma Camporeale loved to do bbq. Pappa Campo had to show her.

We really need to keep at least one. You would think we would get a better return for Keath though?

It’s not about return, it’s about having a decent team. Hartigan is shite. Keath is good. Keep the good player.

 

[relapse]

So pick 3 and 26 for a worse first rounder and some spuds.

Terrible trade

Obviously stupid season has started already.

When was the last time a multi player trade happened, in particular involving a top ten pick?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

When was the last time a multi player trade happened, in particular involving a top ten pick?

Last year .....Neale, Hogan, May

 

[Betts are off]

Last year .....Neale, Hogan, May

They were 3 separate trades that happened to involve the same pick weren't they?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

They were 3 separate trades that happened to involve the same pick weren't they?

Yes ....but all trades depended on each club shuffling the same pick, so it was a multi-club trade

 

[FR0GGY]

Distinct lack of rumors.

True, but still don't think you can call that a 3 club trade. For me a 3 club trade is executed all at once, not in 3 separate chapters.

Its probably semantic's, but I think the point the guy was making was when was the last time you saw a 3 club trade involving currency that high executed all at once?

The clubs probably all still throwing back tinnies at old man Crouch's place in Ballarat!

I think it is semantics ....yes the clubs announced seperate trades ....but the outcome was the same as if all 3 were announced simultaneously

 

[Betts are off]

Mate we are in offseason... The time for semantic's is upon us!

I'm gonna put a bold call out there. This thread alone will on average spawn at least 3 semantics based arguments a week until the end of trade week.

EDIT: Actually that's not even that bold!

 

[skittlebrew]

It’s not about return, it’s about having a decent team. Hartigan is s**t. Keath is good. Keep the good player.

Do you want to rebuild with a second round pick or a 5th round pick?

You need to give up someone decent to get something decent.

 

[Magma]

we'd get a 2nd rounder for hartigan. seems like one of those sorts rated in melbourne.

 

[GreyCrow]

How shortsighted would you have to be to wait until the completion of the minor round though. Surely they must have seen the 2 things that we all saw;

1. 2 pretty good minor round years and a couple of good finals in 2016 & 2017
2. A complete fall off the cliff despite fielding largely the same team whilst not investing anything significant in youth.

You don't need to know whether you've scraped into the 8 to realise that something is wrong.

Footyology podcast took a shot at this lack of change. From the 2017 GF , if you include Smith 17/18 played on the weekend just finished.

They bashed Ross Lyon for not introducing youth - 18 debutants since 2014/15 . I thought that was a high number and I went and had a look , I dont think the AFC passed 12

 

[GreyCrow]

Maybe spud is a bit harsh for Cox.

But given Giro and Nyhuis have zero trade value (and we're giving up a 2020 4th rounder) that means Cox alone must be worth 26 plus the difference between 3 and 6.

So far, Cox's claim to fame is kicking 4 goals against us. Done not much else; fairly average player. There is no way in hell he is worth that currency, maybe a pick in the 40s, but not 26 and a first round downgrade.

As for Giro, we could just play McHenry and as for Nyhuis, we could just continue playing Kelly or try out a Hamill type. Zero need to trade for either.

Nyhuis looks to be the Dean Gore in that secenario

Of those 12, I would love to know how many actually played more than 3 games.

Pyke has to take ownership of not setting up the Club for the future as well.

LOL no way, you'd be lucky to get a 3rd rounder.

 

[Scorpus]

Yep I think that could be true. Played 100 games, key defender, 27 years old. That's a pick in the 30-35 range I think.
