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

[Sanders]

I'm 30 year gold you clown i dont need to upgrade

 

[Danger in Texas]

Would Port be looking to split their future first to get these players in? Could that be useful?

21 or 24 + Doedee compo for Port’s F1 (can’t see any team being able to offer anything like that)

Then 9 + two F1s + McAdam for Oliver + change

If Melb prefers quantity over quality (and he doesn’t want to go to a cellar-dweller like NM) that could work

Very interesting that the rumour is he wasnt happy with how the fitness dept treated his hammy injury.. and that he sort advice from outside the club..

Could he be missing the trusted relationship, skills and knowledge of Darren Burgess?.. Dees players gave Darren a hell of a lot of credit for their premiership success..

and interesting that he’s blaming the club for this hammy and the club is apparently blaming him.. sounds like there’s one pretty decent sized rift there..

Anyone know if he attended the Brownlow?… has he broken up with his missus recently or something?.. Because his other actions sound like the sort of mischief and shite some young lads get themself into after a break up.. get a bit loose and off the rails for a bit..

come over to Adelaide young fella!..

Yes I believe he had a messy breakup as per info from someone I know. That would explain him staying with Gawn.

Isn’t that how all reports of bombshell players that end up leaving start, though? With general posturing?

Look you might be right, but considering our club’s current position, you’d just have to take a deeper look into the situation, at least

Remember in 2014 when there was all this talk of Dangerfield being on the trade table? Melbourne offering two first rounders and so on.

Adelaide Crows adamant they won’t trade Patrick Dangerfield, but no word on new contract

Danger ‘will not be traded’: Crows

www.foxsports.com.au

Turns out clubs asked and we said no. That's really all there was. But they did ask and there were discussions.

How many times have we heard about guys like Dustin Martin or Jordan De Goey getting shopped around?

These stories appear every trade period. Clubs asking about a big name contracted player. It rarely happens because clubs at the top of the ladder don't trade their star players in contract. And typically they don't want them to leave when out of contract either.

There is no way Melbourne would let Oliver leave based on what is said in the report. Being a bit lazy with rehab and tattooing his own foot, maybe doing drugs. Clubs don't trade the best players in the competition for that.

If he has kids then he wouldn’t shift states you’d think.

Melbourne have been linked to a Reid move for some time. Think Melbourne will be looking at getting GC's pick.

Melb would be looking for some sort of deal that leaves them with Freo's (they already have this), GC's and Ade's first rounders while also landing McAdam.

There is absolutely no chance in hell that a player like Oliver comes to the Crows. A grade mids from, and already in, Melbourne dont leave to go to Adelaide or Perth. They want the lifestyle and off field opportunities in bleak city. We could offer Melbourne our first round pick for the next 10 years, but he would never agree to the trade.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Pick 20 on draft night is a good bargain chip for them too
If there’s a slider a club could offer a F1
Thus netting them a further first rounder

Disagree in this instance
- he played his best football under Burgess fitness

- getting him away from the Melb scene with his apparent issues is the best thing for him

And thank god with a head like that

 

[Sanders]

If there was any chance at all - sell the farm to get Oliver.

Ah no.

Sounds an absolute fruit loop

Melbourne open to trading Oliver for the right price amid frustration and concern from teammates

Maybe you are right re: Burgess, but if he is in the middle of the “Melbourne scene”, doubt he wants to leave it to live in the Adelaide fishbowl. I absolutely hate this competition sometimes, but A grade, non-SA born players are basically out of bounds for us in a trade scenairo..why we can never truly compete long term against the likes of the Pies, Cats etc because we dont have the same access to players they do…

You've never tried tattooing your own foot?

The scene he is in is not a good one let’s put it that way
For his health, wellbeing and happiness it’s a much better option to get out and Adelaide presents that

 

[MRB37]

The "right price" is also probably a price no team would be willing to pay cause it's just a stupid amount to trade for one player.

 

[Jack McKraken]

There’d be a lot of teams that would have, and give up, two good firsts (or more). NMelb, Hawks, Geelong are the ones I can think of that would take him

Is there any point of difference that we can offer?

The point of difference is to get him on board. How does $1.5m a year and Burgess looking after your fitness sound, Clarry?!

 

[cleanhands]

He can only change that if he wants to, if not he’ll bring it with him

 

[Sanders]

McAdam is lazy we know this

We do not!

 

[Viva la Mattner]

We do not!

There’s a reason why he was drafted so late … his work rate and fitness
Talent only gets you so far

 

[ABAB]

Need to convince him to request a trade to you and then the trade will be at a "reasonable price" since it looks like Melbourne want him out.

 

[Sanders]

You've never tried tattooing your own foot?

Not without incurring strikes

 

[dogs105]

Rumour on the Dees board that he turned up 30 minutes late to his exit interview, after a big night, without sleeping first. Coaches had enough.

Again, just a BF rumour.

Burgess really could be kicker here, with mentions he was unhappy about the fitness and rehabilitation at Melb
And rumours he consulted outside

Are you currently tattooing your own foot by any chance?
