Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 3

[crow2crow]

What are Port going to take for Houston now. Surely NM won't give up 2 or surely Houston won't go to them.

north have already said they wont give up picks in this draft so its futures.

two issues
1. port dont want futures
2. houston dont want norf

 

[Scorpus]

Hahaha pretty much

Handing them a super draft basically

Gold Coast will get away with zero scrutiny because they have no fans

West Coast, sounds like there's a fan uprising coming for them. People are PISSED and they're a massive club

 

[Danger in Texas]

Few SOS at Carlton vibes

Speaking of which

 

[Scorpus]

Speaking of which

He's certainly got a playbook doesn't he?

 

[FR0GGY]

Will Don hold a press conference to explain the deal and smooth things over?

There’s no lingering issues after trading pick 3

 

[Betts are off]

Speaking of which

Wow, thats a late move. Hadn't heard anything of the sort.

I liked Kemp in his draft year, but I thought he might develop into an explosive big bodied mid. Looks like that ship has sailed.

So who did we offload Murphy to?

still in the conversation for moving to Port?

If so, then kudos galore to the AFC for some very strategic long term sabotage thinking. Such foresight!

 

[DJ75]

Yeah I agree. Funnily enough, I don't particularly like this deal for either Carlton or WCE. Imo the only clear winners are Richmond: Baker is good, but 14 in this draft is a very valuable pick.

Even then that feels like a break even trade, rather than a win.
How is it possible that no-one won?

 

[Floating Doughnut]

I thought I saw the figure somewhere of 2.2 so 900k for each of Luko plus 400k for Rat

That figure was reported, included full tpp which he is owed in contract apparently.

 

[crow2crow]

could we ship burger rings to essendon in a three way trade with gws

 

[Sizzlepack]

Even then that feels like a break even trade, rather than a win.

Usually when no parties are fully satisfied, that signals that it's a fair deal. This feels a bit different.

FWIW, here's how I have it:

WCE – big loss
Carlton – big risk (F1, F2, 12 and Owies for 3 is a lot)
Richmond – moderate win

 

[fuic08]

He's certainly got a playbook doesn't he?

If you're hiring SOS, be prepared as he brings all of his spud picks with him

Yeah thats what I was getting at.

 

[relapse]

What are Port going to take for Houston now. Surely NM won't give up 2 or surely Houston won't go to them.

Looks like North have apparently said no thanks to Houston.

 

[FR0GGY]

Filling holes on the list?
Don you’re still building the list.

 

[Betts are off]

Don Pyke: "Its not going to be popular with everyone"
Reality: "Its not going to be popular. With EVERYONE"

 

[Cromulant]

Don Pyke: "Its not going to be popular with everyone"
Reality: "Its not going to be popular. With EVERYONE"

Sounds familiar doesn't it

 

[FR0GGY]

Don Pyke: "Its not going to be popular with everyone"
Reality: "Its not going to be popular. With EVERYONE"

It’s popular with Carlton fans.

 

[Coopers]

Sounds familiar doesn't it

Sounds like he needs to take them on a camp

 

[fuic08]

Get a higher pick inside the 20 then idiot

 

[cmndstab]

Did West Coast just get Swicked?

 

[Pea Nut]

its never happened before not like this

Eagles have already been burnt once before, giving up pick 2 which was Sheezel for Ginbey and Hewett. Once bitten, twice shy. Nope, apparently not.

 

[Coopers]

So are we really not trying to get any other players? No other moves?

Like... just 2 weeks of sitting there trying to figure out how to get Peatling for a future 2nd or 3rd or whatever?

Like, what are the productivity metrics of those involved in this? I want that job, man. Like... just rest up for 1.5 weeks and do a day of work, delegate the paperwork to the work experience kid... kick back in the hotel.

Shit, I'm going to send an unsolicited application.
