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

[Crow till I die]

Contracted with Lions till end of 2026.

He would cost us at least a 1st rounder.

And?

 

[whattagun07]

If I were Coll I'd be throwing Ginnivan on the trade table. Not someone we need though.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Have to say I'd much prefer Chris Burgess ...watched a bit of Chol and 2nd efforts seem to be lacking and comes across as a bit of a tool on field. If he was as good as he thinks he is he'd be a player, unfortunately I don't think he is.

Imo, we could do with both if Berg traded. Gives us key position depth.

Would then chase Noble.

 

[Crow till I die]

There is no way we are getting Bailey, come on, be real, it’s a friggin trade radio rumour, the same show everyone bags the hell out of

No doubt BUT if we HAVE asked and possibly made a play for him then thats exactly what i am wanting..even if rebuffed as it would indicate we are not being conservative to try and improve the list

 

[Dirty Bird]

And then some.
Brisbane is closer to Darwin too isn't it.

Nup, Adelaide's 100km closer than brisbane

 

[Peter Doherty]

Remember RSN is a Melbourne station, it may have nothing to do with us.

This player has to be in contract. Sounds a bit Gibbs like, if we are the interested club.

 

[PeterSalt]

If I were Coll I'd be throwing Ginnivan on the trade table. Not someone we need though.

That may well happen. Though Elliott is 31 now and has struggled with injuries over the past few years

 

[arsene wenger1]

If I were Coll I'd be throwing Ginnivan on the trade table. Not someone we need though.

Bit random

 

[Mutineer]

Would Parfitt be classed an A grader? Some potential he’d want out

The one I’d sell the farm for though is LDU

Certainly not an A grader, surprised the mob down the road haven't inquired with their penchant for missing pieces. Mind you he would be OK if cheap.

 

[PeterSalt]

Bit random

Yeah, though a Collingwood supporting mate said the same thing to me last night

 

[BunjiMC]

No chance we are getting him

Doedee compo and pick 9? They might need the cap space anyway.

 

[George Kramer]

No doubt BUT if we HAVE asked and possibly made a play for him then thats exactly what i am wanting..even if rebuffed as it would indicate we are not being conservative to try and improve the list

Don’t get me wrong, yes we should be doing it but it’s a rumour that we have even asked.

 

[Mostyn]

No chance, just makes no sense for him to want out at Brisbane, not happening.

Not sure I agree.

Not getting midfield time. Has fantastic talent, but is he getting the role at Brisbane to showcase it? Are players like Bailey and Berry really getting the opportunity to improve at Brisbane?

Not sure I actually think he would think that, but it's not impossible.

 

[1990crow]

I'm so confused with this trade period.

Unknown A grader?

Himmelberg, Doedee, Sholl, McAdam potential outs..

History suggests we end up with Burgess, Pick 9 and a couple of third rounders.

 

[1990crow]

Don’t get me wrong, yes we should be doing it but it’s a rumour that we have even asked.

If I'm Brisbane I'm telling us to get lost. They have a flag to win next year.

 

[Mostyn]

4 clubs were chasing him, Crows, Hawks, Lions and North… there must be something they like

I really don’t care about this perception of being a tool in field, for many years we had players like Radar, VB and others who were so nice, polite and well behaved and it got us nowhere

I’m ok for our club to cater for all types of personalities on-field as long as they buy into the game plan and the team

I think Bicks is saying that he's a tool because he DOESN'T buy into playing his role.

He looks like he thinks it should just happen for him - Sydney has had a no dickhead policy for years and it's done them well.

It hasn't won Sydney a flag in 11 years as well though.

If he's leaving the Bulldogs, there would be six teams in Victoria he'd be more likely to go to before us.

Geelong being number 1.

 

[Mostyn]

They'd have to be one of the most consistently successful clubs in the competition though - them and West Coast would be the two best interstate teams.

Don't disagree but it's harder for non Victorian teams to win than ever. West Coast got lucky in 2018 with a miracle McGovern, Ryan, Sheed play to win by less than a kick.

You need a few risks to pay off currently.

 

[spenze]

No chance, just makes no sense for him to want out at Brisbane, not happening.

He may want to win a flag

 

[whattagun07]

If we can manage to get Petty to request a trade that'd be awesome.
McAdam and some steak knives?
Can't see Noble wanting out. If he's not 1st team by late next season though, then that might be a different story.

Zac Bailey?..the Brisbane Zac Bailey

 

[Mostyn]

Zac Bailey?..the Brisbane Zac Bailey

Sorry, I thought we were also chatting about Bailey Smith.
