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

[Pugsley]

yeh but they will anyway

So what you heard were lies?

 

[1990crow]

You're kidding?

It's either an amazing coincidence or its an actual source.

 

[ams4crows]

Hearing we could be offering $800k a year for petty makes me want him less..

Ffs.. $800k a year for a KPD?…

What are we paying Murray, ( who I rate more as a KPD), butts and keane a year?..

We need to save our $800k a year salary offers for midfielders.. not KPD’s.

If true.. and lets remember this is the AFL media.. This just reeks of desperation from nicks and his team. Desperate for a good story trade for this year after rankine and dawson in previous years..

$800k a year for Harrison Petty?.. really?.. is he really that good a player?… he’s third banana kpd at his current club ffs.. behind may and lever..

He's a contracted player you have to pay a premium to get them out.

Tex has 1 maybe 2 years left we need guys ready to go right now, as soon as Tex leaves that premiership window closes a bit more. Our chances to win one is a lot higher with Tex in the side than not in the side, pretty sure the club knows this too

 

[1990crow]

If this is the case how many SANFL games has he played in last couple of years?

We would be backing in Butts and not chasing Petty if this was true.

 

[George Kramer]

Is that a George Kramer impersonation?

Ooh so cutting.

The bloke literally said the other night Oliver was on, easy to then say “they changed his mind”.

He’s got a history of being wrong, if you want to be gullible and believe him, good on you. But he’s set clear measurement, the deal happens as he said we let them have 10 to allow Petty to go through.

 

[Peter Doherty]

What's the coincidence?

 

[jo172]

Also Cameron was being criminally overpaid by Brisbane to leave us.

Until he wasn't.

Then he came within a bees dick of winning a flag for them.

I'm borderline convinced it's all monopoly money at this point anyway and none of this is real. Also, if it forces Melbourne to extend him earlier and for more than they wanted that's a win in itself.

There's been multiple credible journalists who have said it was a real discussion.

 

[Pugsley]

yes and you keep being critical of me sharing info on a rumour board. thats what its for. surely you can see given what's happening now it wasnt made up like you were claiming. whether it comes off i dont know.

Egg on my face if he signs with us but I don't see it happening.

 

[1990crow]

What's the coincidence?

The numbers involved.

 

[George Kramer]

Of course it’s a real discussion, he’s not giving intel on that. He’s stated we let them have pick 10 so the deal goes through. Now let’s see if that’s correct, easy to assess as bullshit or not.

 

[Peter Doherty]

With North's 5 x first rounders, they are in a position to land Reid and Geelong's pick 8.

 

[Peter Doherty]

The numbers involved.

How are they involved?

 

[Bearded Clam]

new CBA means $800k is like $700K previously and he can also go forward very effectively - a genuine swingman and that can be quite handy when we need to change it up

I’ll ask again..

How many games has Harrison Petty played as a KPF at AFL level?..

Please dont tell me we are all running with the line that he’s also a very handy forward off the back of just 1 game in the forward line.. albeit one game where he kicked 6 goals…

Yes, but it is believable that his mind was changed as we've seen it happen to players before, it's not out of the realms of possibility.

We have had legit reports about Jeremy Cameron and Dustin Martin almost joining us but changing their mind it's plausible the same happened with Oliver.

No need to shoot down every person who has a source sometime it doesn't work out doesn't mean it was originally a lie

I’m not, so if this deal doesn’t go through, will it be because even though we let them have pick 10 which apparently would allow us get Petty, something else happened or was the pick 10 goodwill all bullshit? Because literally the only intel he’s given is pick 10, everything else is out there.

Why don't we just wait and see?

 

[Samcro24]

I'm hearing we're gonna trade some picks to the Suns for Burgess and 14.

This kind of bullshit is what we are talking about.

 

[Samcro24]

It's true, you'll see.

 

[George Kramer]

I replied to his post that after the trade for 10 went down, all the reports are Melbourne are saying no way. Theo said it was a 1% chance.

Am I not suppose to post what the position from Melbourne is, just so you can dream? Not everyone is like you.

But you dragged me into going further by tagging me, now you whinge, FMD.

Bookmarked. I'll keep an eye on this.

Let's wait and find out what actually happens first before getting up in arms about something someone posted on an internet forum.

For all we know Adelaide could have a hand shake deal over Melb getting 11 so that they'd accept 10 and McAdam for Petty. Or Melbourne could have just said that to us which we believed, to give up on pick 11 and Melbourne never had any intention of trading us Petty. We may never know because we aren't in the room to confirm or deny.

Oh FFS, another one. Read my reply to 1990crow.

I have, you just seem particularly frustrated because someone posted what they heard is/may be happening. Which is you know what this thread is for.

Sometimes it's real sometimes it bogus it's all a bit of fun.
