Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 33!, 1 BIG FISH ALERT last October 4th) (7 confirmed! 11 Busted!)

[hugecannon]

Himmelberg could only dream of showing what Chol has shown at AFL level

With that said he wouldn't be best 22 for us

Is Chol big enough to play as a Ruckman, with his athleticism?

 

[LoBu]

Ben King came back from his ACL, plus Luko moved forward.

With King and Luko up forward, Jed Walters needs a spot next year too.

We should be targeting Luko - unfortunately signed to 2026. Still good for our 2027 premiership defense.

What is Leek Aleer's contract look like? Is he gettable from GWS?

 

[Mutineer]

It comes from Sydney supporters I've spoken to, and it was in the media a couple of years ago that he could transition into the midfield. This hasn't happened and other players, including Warner, Gulden and Campbell, have gone past him in the past 2 years. Hayward is best 22, but not necessarily best 18, and in the forward line is behind Heeney, Papley, McDonald even Amarty. Also Gulden rotates forward. So he is 5th or 6th best forward in the team.

I rank him behind about 17 players at the swans once you look at the midfield and backline.

And yes I may be disappointed if we give up more than a second rounder, I have been disappointed by trades on multiple occasions!

Come on he's never been dropped to the VFL and the only time he hasn't played is due to injury and players rated 18th according to you just don't spend the Time On Ground that Will Hayward does...not once was he sub sub either...pretty good for someone that just scrapes into their best 18.

He's 2cm shorter than O'Brien, so I'd say his size is not a problem

 

[Mutineer]

Why on earth would we have any interest in Leek Aleer...are we really that desperate to bring in just anybody that has warm blood coursing through their veins? especially one that's missed a whole season with a foot injury?

I believe Aleer recently signed another Contract .....ungettable

GWS interested in Elliott Himmelberg

 

[CromradeCromulent]

That makes us being into Chol make way way way more sense

 

[Grooster24]

Chol is actually a good Ruck .....got a great leap

Just asked this in the other Rumours thread. That's what I want to hear. Would love an athletic mobile ruck.

 

[Danger in Texas]

EH > Chol is absolutely a win for us (as long as Chol doesn’t cost too much)

 

[Firewalker]

GWS interested in Elliott Himmelberg

 

[BRL121]

Why? He doesn't want to play in the seconds.
Maybe a McAdam replacement (of sorts)?

 

[Grooster24]

Chol only needs to hold a mark and he's way ahead of cement hands.

 

[FR0GGY]

GWS interested in Elliott Himmelberg

Bloody hell

 

[Firewalker]

Chol only needs to hold a mark and he's way ahead of cement hands.

hell I’d just take not be on auto-pilot for 95% of games or trailing behind an opponent like he’s a worn out old dog on a lead.

[BRL121]

Gratuitous post.

 

[PeterSalt]

Don't know if they have just been reading Bigfooty but just heard on Triple M we are looking at Harrison Petty in the McAdam trade.

They're the 1's who floated it, yesterday .. that sparked a little discussion here

 

[FR0GGY]

Gone full circle, maybe they forgot they floated it yesterday

 

[PeterSalt]

Not sure why we'd be interested in Petty this year anyway. Hasn't he got linsfranc injury, same as Taylor and Jones?

He may not even be ready to play until the back half of next year anyway

 

[WaynesWorld19]

GWS interested in Elliott Himmelberg

Unfortunately BF Tweets and use of a VPN are sometimes problematic .....what was being said about Himmelberg

IF GWS are sniffing at Himmelberg, then it makes sense, our interest in Chol

I'll admit I think he's good too, potential to have a top 10 year if things go right.
