Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 3

[Cromulant]

I’m fine with Reid overall but the fact we have Smith, Strachan and Burgess still on the list is bad manmanagement

The latter 2, probably all 3 really, are about having senior bodies in the SANFL side to help the youngsters out.

That likely changes from next year on with the changes to the SANFL rules

 

[Crow till I die]

Wow, bolton for essentially 10 + 11...port supporters will be looking at that in disgust. Having said that, give me either houston or bolton in my team, i am going bolton personally. Quality damaging attacking player

We should have forced murphy into the ANB trade somehow too

 

[Danger in Texas]

It will be Smith as one of them. They have been into him for a long time

Not what Twomey suggested

Not what Twomey suggested

Yep.

 

[Crows I Am]

So Richmond will have 1, 6, 10, 11, 18, 20, 23, 24

Surely with that many picks you look at trading up

Kangaroos should offer pick 2 for 6 and 10 or 11.

10 11 18 to richmond for 14 and Bolton plus change

thats a lot to give up for Bolton. out of interest he dropped out of Robbos top 50 at the end of the year after starting in it.

27 next year.

Rankine>>Bolton

 

[Maddogmetro]

If this is true yet another Geelong special where other clubs bend over and take it

What the ****.

How can these one-sided trades keep getting to Geelong, and keep being ticked off by the AFL?

We could only DREAM of a trade like this, and they do them every year.

Edit: Ah I see I have been duped.

Melbourne then take tauru at 5..hasn't that been the talk?

thats got to be the biggest joke i have EVER seen

 

[MarcusP2]

It sucks. A young, really good but out of contract player nominates a club, they offer unders, and the other club has to just take it (or get nothing).

Well sign them to an extension. This isn't a charity.

It's a meme page. Please people use your thinking skills.

It’s a piss take

 

[Maddogmetro]

10 11 18 to richmond for 14 and Bolton plus change

So effectively 10 and 11 for Bolton, but Freo get a pick upgrade from 18 to 14 in the deal.

 

[Scorpus]

It’s a piss take

A Facebook special for boomers that are also easily fooled by AI generated images

Very sorry that I don't fact check every comment posted on the RUMOUR page. Get off your high horse.

Rankine>>Bolton

Robbo's top 50 is not a legitimate barometer of player quality in any sense. The deal values Bolton at about Pick 4. The unique characteristics of the draft might eventually skew it slightly in Richmond's favour but for now I like the deal for both sides. Bolton is a gun.

Brilliant deduction. I didn't look that hard into it. I looked at the image, and then responded, and then edited my post about two minutes after when I realised. Stop thinking you are clever.

also not saying Robbos top 50 is perfect but cmon its pretty accurate in all honesty.

Top 10 this year

Cripps
Daicos
Heeney
Bont
Hogan
Neale
Butters
Serong
Tom Greene

Surely thats a reasonable reflection of the top 10 in the comp? He mentioned Rankine would be top 20 if he played more games

equiv pick 2

There's a Richmond F3, which will be the first pick of the round. I called it Pick 40 and it generated Pick 4 as the result. Call it Pick 3. I'd still do that deal, especially with Bolton being – on paper – such a nice fit for Freo.

It wouldnt be the worst thing in the world for us to be speaking with them or the saints

What could we do ?
