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

[Danger in Texas]

Gettable also saying the Neal-Bullen trade is likely the first trade of the trade period, and will be done for pick 25

Gettable's doing a live show from the MCG live site at 2pm

Someone pls get down there and quiz them on why the hell we'd do this

Jeez that's bad if true.

 

[Hodgy]

I'm not criticising Rachele or his ability, I'm saying we are not (currently) a club who will get the best out of such an outgoing personality because we expect every player to conform to a rather vanilla, bland and corporate friendly style. There's a reason we hold guys like Van Berlo, David Mackay, Rory Sloane up as the epitome of what it means to be an Adelaide Crow player.

Rash is a guy who seems to thrive on confidence and is extremely outgoing, both on and off the field. All the sorts of things we seem to hate in a player.

I totally agree, and it makes it very hard to get enthusiastic about the club these days. It hasn’t always been the case though, I’ve long felt that the failure in recruiting Wayne Carey gave the conservative elements at the club the ammunition to take us into the Neil Craig, Van Berlo mindset. Then just when we were starting to see personality back in the club in 16/17 we had the camp which has totally wiped out any appetite for innovation and risk taking. We’re more a corporate machine now, with PR gurus and risk analysts making all the decisions. I’d be willing to bet that the boards KPIs are more about membership, positive press inches and merchandising than on field results.

Rumour has it that he will no longer tolerate not having access to Barnacle Bills.

He's a huge Fan of Estia at Henley and has an insatiable desire for their dolmades on a weekly basis.

So we can’t discuss anything at the moment?
Because nothing has happened with the AFC.

 

[Draft Bored]

Cal Twomey's persistence with this ANB for 25 rubbish makes me feel like one team (melb or adelaide) is trying to manipulate this situation in their favour.

Please
Rash has been given a fair bit of scope, and he crossed the line as Gini crossed the line.

next year you will even see Gini pull his head in because the team doesn’t need the distractions

Everyone treats getting a kick on the ass as a bd thing, or maybe it’s just the younger generation, but from what I see Rash has taken the tough love the right way and it might be the making of him as a player

Let’s not also cover up the on-field issues, he needs to at times put his head over the footy, competed harder, and work for longer - he’s far from the finish product and the player has some accountability in this space.

Believe he and his partner just had a baby in February and want to move back to be closer to family.

North being the main interest.

Caleb is a decent player but not someone we should bother with, which probably means we will.

when we get a new coach though rash will fit right in so stop stressing

Its twitter, most of the people on it have that about them. Especially the ones with fake names.
