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

Port board as usual massively overrating Duursma. They think they've been screwed

Good. I agree.

they had the awesome foursome of Butters, Rozee, JHF and Duursma. He was brilliant for them. A real loss. Terrible trade for them.

 

[Crow till I die]

My guess is that Port were holding out for a better return than that (in the 30-40 range) and were trying to hold their nerve.

In the end Dodoro must have offered those future 4th picks as a final offer and Port blinked.

He used a Jedi mind trick..the 'fourths' will be with you

 

[Crows I Am]

Glad that trade period is over, what a let down.

 

[Sanders]

It has been stated that Gold Coast accepted that he needed to get back to MELBOURNE due to some health issues in his immediate family.

Where?

 

[GreyCrow]

Really disgusted with myself. I didnt even make the Top 5.

It's like I'm not even trying

 

[Crows I Am]

I think we will trade pick 20 into 2024.

Yeah I agree, we might get some good offers from teams without many high picks this year.

Brisbane, Freo, Hawks and Tigers all look like good possibilities.

 

[Sanders]

Just admit it Colonel you got it wrong again and move on...

Carlton’s play for another Hollands​

Carlton could end up securing former pick 7 Elijah Hollands for a future third-round selection and a shuffle of 2023 selections in a deal to be brokered on Wednesday.

The Suns and Blues are both on the same page about the structure of a trade, with the Suns keen to move slightly up the draft order this year.

They are keen to ensure they have enough draft points to lock in all four of their academy prospects so they preserve their trio of 2024 first-round selections.

It means Gold Coast could accept a future third-rounder, then take Carlton’s pick 26 this year, but give back one of their selections which include 27, 28 and 32.

There are family reasons for Hollands who is desperate to play alongside brother Ollie back in Victoria, so, while the Suns might accept slightly less from a trade perspective, they are happy to do a deal for the midfielder.

Family reasons to play for just the one, single team?

Persuasive

 

[Viva la Mattner]

People having a giant whinge, out of all the players traded which player would you want at the Crows?

I’ll start, none of them. We missed out on nothing as most don’t start in our best 22.

Liam Henry I’d have taken

 

[Sanders]

Can't admit it can you, you got it wrong and in the process called me a liar...

Well, as shown of course it’s not true…

And you also said you didn’t care, so that’s another

 

[BACCS]

Liam Henry I’d have taken

His words ‘I wanted to get to Melbourne for their fashion scene’. Good to see footy takes priority!

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Where?

I heard it on the summary of the trade period on Foxtel tonight.

The implication was an issue with a family member, not his Carlton brother.

The question is “Was Ralphy making it up”. and

Are you willing to admit you were WRONG?

And what’s wrong with our fashion scene? Druggy shirts, wife beaters and footy shorts!

Wife beaters?

 

[jenny61_99]

Wife beaters?

Singlets

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Wife beaters?

Maybe showing my age, blue singlets

Singlets

Never heard that


makes sense now, my old man wore one half his life shearing

 

[UcantCme]

so Port have traded in 4 players from teams that missed the finals, 3 of these players struggled to make their team best 22 and now Port don’t have a hand in this years draft

how is that good business ?

So there was no direct pull to play with his brother or Carlton?

 

[Crow till I die]

Reckon Duursma will be a better get for the Bombers than BZT for Powa.

But when they make finals...Duursma will be Duursma

You know the guy who now plays ressies, is a shitkicking real estate agent who makes a decent but not spectacular commission and still needs to remind everyone of how he was the U16 BnF for his club in some shitty regional junior comp they won that year?

Yeah that's Port Adelaide and the 2018 draft.

Ahh..you never heard of the old saying, someone's trash is another's treasure?

 

[MrBarry]

Port will have a lot of issues in the next few years.
