Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 2 (Rumours total 25, last 28th August)

[Thrillthorpe7]

I think it ends badly for him and Port

If they are targetting all these players and FS then they need space also

Plus I dont see him going past R6 before pulling the pin

I thought that last final might have changed their decision on him

 

[Amacca 23]

Then so be it

Thats on him to choose - not a reason for us to sign him again

So what you are saying is tex offers us nothing, next year ?

Not really

I am on record saying he should have been retired at the end of this year

 

[adelaidecrows]

So we are looking exceptionally aggressive this offseason

I would have said that too, but boy our tall forward depth is dire.

 

[Freshj]

As I mentioned previously, Luko went to Port to get the forward roll he was looking for, that was the main draw card.

Highly talented player. I think could have blossomed in our system. Let's see if he can handle being one of the main forwards at Port and shake the tag of being a "bruise free" footballer.

Maybe too aggressive? I heard all our correspondence with possible players has been in Caps lock.

Its not like Tex was getting younger

We know how old he is

I thought RT and Fog worked well together. I also think it might have helped having a small forward fleet under there feet

In hindsight sending a secret admirer letter made up from cut-up letters from magazines may have come across as a bit desperate.

I think thats the way we SHOULD go, but its handy to have him on a bargain basement deal for 1 more year

Can't go further than Murphy

Most clubs don’t even have two good KPFs, let alone any depth. At least we have two of them. Hopefully one or two of Curtin/Murray/Welsh can help fill a 3rd tall role longer term.

And still no changes to our coaching structure / footy department either.

To sum up for everyone at home. As per usual the AFC are completely living up to expectation.

Organic growth

 

[beartoo]

Well done. I hoped it wasnt true because - unlike others I rate Luko - there is no sniffing the air and starting to say '' he is no good anyway '' etc

I thought something was up when Tex got another year

We go again and hopefully a review of why we dont get targets is started

I can see it now: internal review. Nothing to see here. Move on.

[Mutineer]

Hately

But yeah the quantity isn't great

Keays DFA

 

[Scorpus]

Keays DFA

We drafted Keays in the rookie draft

 

[Draft Bored]

Pass.

If Melbourne paid some of his salary and we retained pick 4 in the trade you'd still pass?

 

[Danger in Texas]

That dude from last night



I’m clinging onto any kind of hope at this point

 

[Mutineer]

I would have said that too, but boy our tall forward depth is dire.

I'm pretty excited in what a 20 year old Toby Murray brings to the table looking to the future.

 

[Mutineer]

We drafted Keays in the rookie draft

Whatever, he's been an extra big plus list management wise.

 

[Mutineer]

If Melbourne paid some of his salary and we retained pick 4 in the trade you'd still pass?

Yes

 

[Danger in Texas]

We drafted Keays in the rookie draft

I guess that's technically DFA though, just through drafting means

By contrast, you could also count that spud Crocker

If we're bringing in Turray and Welsh to replace EH and Gollant, that might be a downgrade next year for our depth, but IMO a big talent upgrade for the future
