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

[Mutineer]

McAdam has to feel pretty stupid right now. Had a walk up start in our forward line but got seduced by Melbourne and now he isn't playing at all. Ouch thats got to hurt.

He is playing...VFL that is, kicked 4 goals earlier today...

I think he'd actually be pretty happy with getting the coin and not having to play, he always copped a knock in just about every game he played.

Petty, it really is Petty as in Tom Petty...

Lol, typo but a funny one.

At least it wasn't Perrie!

 

[Mostyn]

Sorry - but bullshit.

Come up with ONE piece of evidence that supports an October report that we offered two first round picks for Perry.

Further to this.

Go play this week's episode of Sam Maclure and Mitch Cleary's podcast, Tradies.

About 32 minutes in, Maclure says "remember when you reported last year that they'd offered two firsts," and Cleary corrects him, saying it was 10 and something else (like in the 20s, he says).

That's the final word, for mine.

Ok… please don’t shoot me down because I’m a first time poster on this trade thread. Been sitting on this one for about 6mths but now hearing the ROB trade request rumour it makes sense. We are heavily into Sam Draper. He wants home and when he was over last year for Gather around made a point of being very vocal about that with a lot of his footy mates. If ROB is out it makes sense we are in market for experience. His contract runs till the end of 2025 but while he’s playing second ruck to Goldstein I think he will put pressure on them to get out this year.

Draper appears in those Tradie beer ads.

They are near a body of water in those Tradie beer ads.

There are also fishing rods in some of those Tradie beer ads.

Is Draper our big fish redhorse?

“ahhhhhhhhh” - Sam Draper

Haven’t heard the ROB part, but the Draper part is 100% true.

I know Draper's brothers and all I've heard is he loves it at Essendon. He is very close with his family though so maybe not being 1st ruck and all the injuries are taking their toll. He is quite injury prone lately and that can be isolating.


Still not a great kick though.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I’m not sure Draper is the guy I’d want if we’re looking for a ROB replacement

Another one that can’t mark

 

[MrBarry]

Why were we looking to get Petty in the first place, he wasn't exactly a 'need'....

Or is it a case of literally getting anyone we can?

Yeah, another unco f wit

Not sure unless he comes free and even then. The fact that a 42 year old Goldy has pushed him out speaks volumes

We weren't getting anyone and then that popped up as a win.

Literally no planning, just on the fly, reactionary trading

Yeah thought as much.

 

[spenze]

Yeah thought as much.

But the debate is over how many first round picks we offered, that is the important bit for the clappers

Meh. There’s media reports already presented, you just choose to ignore them.

That’s on you.

 

[Sanders]

I don't make this stuff up for the sake of it, if I've heard something credible I'll post it. The two first rounders for Petty offer is a load of horseshit.

Lol.

You’ve already been caught out inventing the idea that Melbourne made a counter offer so maybe it’s time to sit this one out

Exactly!

A pick in the 20’s is a first. FFS

Round 1
8 Curtin
21 Edwards
27 Ryan

All 3 are first rounders doofus.

In fact, the second round began at pick 30 so there were no picks in the 20’s that weren’t FIRSTS

So by your own record 2 firsts were offered!!

No. Sam Draper has no interest in coming home

 

[Sanders]

Go listen to Sam Maclure where they confirm we offered 2 firsts - which proves we didn’t offer 2 firsts

Some logic there

His parents reckon he loves over there and has no plans to come back

 

[Mostyn]

Yeah, that's a VERY fair response.

He's probably the biggest channel changer in the media for me. Just a privileged private school boy who's been gifted everything, and offers little except smugness.

 

[Mostyn]

Sorry, but ROB is better than Draper.

I think it was to couple him with Murray.

Keane is 50/50, and we know what we've got in Butts, for better or worse. Borlase has been a pleasant surprise though.
