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

I get port and suns intel from time to time but that's about as useful as Ned McHenry's shape

Can you float the idea to them that they should take McHenry off our hands?

 

[Mostyn]

Depends what he's looking for.
If he wants a team that is seemingly on the up and has young talent - then we aren't a terrible option.
If he wants a long term deal to secure his future, where he can get paid big money and a fair part of that upfront - then we are probably in the front row.

If he wants premierships right now, then it's not us.

He will want to be paid a fortune to go back to his home state. We won't even get our calls answered.

Highly likely that is true.
I'd still throw my hat in the ring.

A strong source has informed me that Keane’s preference is Victoria/Collingwood. Seems there’s fire with the smoke on this one. Really ****n disappointing if true. Sick of this bs excuse of a footy club. Get your shit together, ya morons.

No no you haven't been paying attention!

It's Adelaide the city that's the problem. The Adelaide Football Club can do no wrong.

2 firsts and a Daicos brother don't mind which one.

Disappointing as I would have like to have seen him Murray Max and Woz play together for the next 8-10 seasons. Literally would have just had to plug a couple of players in but the majority of the backline was sorted.

Fair enough, the only credible sources are positive Crows stories by the marshmallow brigade

He’s contracted until next year?

Well unless it’s a ‘I’m not playing next year if I’m not traded’’ scenario, I’d be keeping him

Who knows what this club does, though

If he’s going to go eventually trade him at a premium, **** draft pick though, take Noble

Problem is you gotta convince Noble to come (OOC in 2026), and given we seem to be batting well below average for convincing players to come right now, I’m not sure how likely that is

Well he was dropped for last year’s Grand Final and with Collingwood’s current injury list they might struggle to make top 4.

Tomorrow’s night game against Bulldogs is very important - they have a tough run home.

Not AFC fault that everyone doesn’t want to live in Adelaide

If true, it’s less about the club and more about the city

That I’ll give

Noble would be a fantastic acquisition for our backline. Tough, skilful and quick. A big upgrade on Hamill and Jones

Given he went back to Ireland to party with his mates, he obviously likes the night life and Adelaide is a lot quieter than a big city like a Melbourne

Would be disappointing and we should look to extract maximum value out of him.

If we could get a Noble for him - or a pick in the 20’s (both assuming next year while he is still in contract) then not bad for a supplemental player added for nothing

Why does he want to leave though?

Someone needs to start asking these players, is it money, is it lifestyle, is it how the club/teammates treats them?

The club needs to know why it keeps happening so they can adjust recruiting practices or list management decisions

I think they have done this and it’s one of the reasons we started drafting a lot more SA boys (not exclusive but lifted our local number) to counteract go home factor. Plus country Vic kids

We rarely seem to draft Vic Metro kids these days

We have no firm Intel that he does want to leave. The usual progress of these things is 1: media rumour for clickbait 2: Rumour picked up by Troll on BF and 'verified' as true 3: it now becomes accepted fact as true by some on here.
Beware the fjucking Trolls on here.

got given some info from a former player. Put it on the rumour thread. And for some reason it grinds your gears so much that you decide to get personal/attack that person.

Also, if anyone had firm intel, there wouldn’t be a rumours thread. Not that clever are you.

well done for bringing me down to your level.
