Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

absolutely should have the capacity. Also missed out on both Redman (I reckon 650-700k type offer) and Day (even bigger $) so reckon losing Doedee (probably 500k ish currenly), Mc Adam (350-400k?), Sloanes salary halving or more, we could we have 2m OR MORE to spend

You don’t think that we increased salaries of players like Soligo and Rachelle when we signed them to big deals after their rookie contracts. What about the other 10 guys we re signed this year?

We certainly have cap room, but it wouldn’t be anything like $2m.

Clayton Oliver spotted this morning at the Footscray hospital emergency dept.

Having a blood transfusion ala Keith Richards

Assuming MELB finish top 4 in 2024....that still makes it pick F32 at best, and that's B4 it blows out with compo picks, academy, and father/son .....not good enough for McAdam

We only want that future second for points anyway - we wouldn't be selecting a player with it. There's also the possibility of getting Sydney's F2, as Melbourne holds that as well after the Grundy trade.

Interesting way to demand a trade.

Pick 20, Melbourne pay half his salary

Clayton just dropped his trade price!

McAdam straight swap?

He should infuse some of Keith's. Could play until he's 100

Mcadam straight swap.

Just saw that

I don't get why people think what we are offering Petty is overs.

People in the media said we were paying overs for Eddie Betts @ 550k a year. Bizarre.

People in the media hate the crows.

Would we actually want Oliver if he's falling off the rails?

Don’t forget to make a sock account to come and declare how wonderful you are and totally aren’t the same person

that was Patricia

I don't get why people think what we are offering Petty is overs. He is 23 year old premiership player who can play a key position at either end. Also no flight risk come free agency.

Port would be all over him if they hadn't already committed to other players. We will have to outbid them next year.

This term gets thrown around too much for me.

Billy Frampton is a premiership player....

Doesn't all of a sudden make him Wayne Carey.
