News 2020 Trade and Coaching Rumours

[Thetrader15]

That's funny as sh*t, $550-600K was around what McGovern got here, they will need reduce McGovern's salary by $200K to $600K and add that $200K to B.Crouch's salary.

Gov is OOC, so they should have decent cap space...unless Mitch is working on a large extension

He also said a couple of days ago that Atkins was getting a 4 year deal with Hawthorn.

Full of shit. As usual.

Yeah i dont think he has many hits. He generally is way off the mark.

 

[GrommoT]

You know how you have those to mates, both funny as and you think "mate, get those two together they'd bounce off each other, it'll be gold, just need them in the same room together".

Then you get them together and they dead set hate each other, all of a sudden, both are sullen, bring the mood of the room down etc.

That's what it'd be like with Daniel and Laird in the same team, it'd be fisticuffs for sure in the pre season

Well, we'd have one tallish player

I’LL HELP CRIPPS:
Carlton is set to have Brad Crouch land at Princess park, like superman to save the day.
Carlton have been screaming for some help for Cripps and Brad Crouch fits that bill.
How do you feel Blues fans?
Details on the deal are 550k-600k for 4 years.

So he is going to walk to a perennial rebuilding club that there is every chance we will overtake in the next season or so after our rebuild is set up..for maybe less money than what we might offer up here....and in other news aliens have landed at alberton

If Carlton want Brouch, pay him $650k+ or no deal.

Crouch just got a front row seat to witness another dog of a rebuild. He’s not going to waste the rest of his career at that shower, especially for that pissant of salary.

 

[Crow Envy]

Brad’s form since his return has pretty much guaranteed someone will pay enough to trigger pick 2, if not we pay and keep him.

 

[spenze]

Well, we'd have one tallish player

He's feeling Dopey, that's for sure

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

Not sure I'd want staff from Essendon at the Crows. Club is dripping in failure in every department

Nah...getting staff from bottom clubs has never hurt us in the past

I reckon Carlton should be gunning hard for Brad, and if not Matt, to help Cripps out.

But if $600’s all they’re offering, we better be matching. From all reports Atkins isn’t far off receiving that...

 

[Danger in Texas]

There’s no way that Brouch to Blues rumour seems legit

I don’t think most teams have a clue exactly where he’s headed yet

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

Just shits me how brilliant all these AFL players look when their contracts are almost up....after they have the sweet deal...they put their feet up and coast along like a government worker. Just useless.
Im sick of watching over valued spuds demanding big bucks....hell...wasn't it Keays who kicked a goal against Carlton in the first quarter and did the "show me the money" sign ???....nice.

 

[Betts are off]

Gov is OOC, so they should have decent cap space...unless Mitch is working on a large extension

If by large extension you mean Mitch is adding new holes to the end of his belt... Then Yes, He is working on a large extension

I can see either Carlton or Essendon or Geelong opening up the cheque book for him. First 2 needs to sell hope to their fans .

 

[GrommoT]

He's feeling Dopey, that's for sure

No it was McAdams that did that, and IMO that was directed at McGovern leaving for more MOLA.....I found it very funny when it happened.

Both Carlton and Essendon think they are both very close to playing finals so even $700K for a midfielder entering his prime that will help you get there isn't that much to offer.

 

[Peter Doherty]

McGovern was contracted with us til the end of 2020, he never extended when he signed with Carlton?

Who would be more desperate right now? I reckon Essendon.
Unless they are throwing the book at Cameron.

I think both will be as both clubs and their coach are starting to feel the pressure (even though technically Rutten didn't do much post match interview, he did the game day coaching and can see he need a big body midfielder to complement all the slight frame ones).

 

[spenze]

As far as i remember no he didn't he is meant to be out of contract at the end of this year. There would be some ****ing nervous KFC franchises around Carlton way you'd think

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

It is funny if that was the case.
Just highlights my point about over paying and long contracts. Some perform for their club out of personal pride...others its so much about the money...they lose interest once they have it.
Just typical watching Mackay going in hard for a ball when looking for another year.

 

[CrowEater888]

McNuggets cut by the Blues?? That would be absolutely hilarious.

 

[GameofSloanes]

I wouldn't let him go to any of those clubs. In fact I'd keep him regardless. The developing kids need some protection, he's a very good player, and he wants to stay. Bad for club culture to let him go imo
