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

[kirky]

I only read your posts and Sanders’

Feel disappointed.

 

[George Kramer]

Who were you having shit fights with on the politics board?

Lefty w***ers!!

 

[Mutineer]

What’s his relationship with Butters?

I was wondering the same thing?

I seem to recall Boyd Woodcock was a good mate of Connor Rozee, not sure where Butters enters?

 

[kirky]

Lefty w***ers!!

If the world had only left or right it would be a very boring place.

Now when are all these players who are out of contract get told their matching orders?

Now I was under impression assistant coaches had to be told by 1st August. Does anyone know if that is correct?

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Genuinely not sure GC would entertain any of those mids with their pretty stacked - superior - young brigade and Touk Miller

Our Berry might be an upgrade on their Berry, and Swallow & Fiorini types but largely agree.

That's just what I've heard through fulham cricket club.

Why is it that no one is good friends with Murphy

 

[Crowstar]

Unfortunately it’s exactly the sort of thing we are likely to do:
1. Glorious homecoming of South Australian ‘star’, he was pick 2 remember?!
2. We said we’d go hard at the trade table, look at us, we did it!
3. We’re a destination club, on the up!
4. Let’s talk about something other than how bad we’ve been for years, and how bad our coaches are, and our terrible decision to extend Nicks.
5. Hope for the future! Buy your membership for next year!

Nailed it

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hopefully going on a coaching training camp.

But they play the Crows song on the bus as he hasn't heard it enough...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Trading a top 5 pick in a stacked midfield draft for a soft, inconsistent tall utility with no clear position is just... that's classic Crows

Would be beyond stupid!

Luko is now worth a 2nd rounder.

Our pick 4 should only be traded for an established gun midfielder... which won't happen... so we must tskr it to the draft.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Our first rounder should not be on offer. Suns would want a player that can slot into their 23. Potentially Berry/Crouch and our second rounder? Not sure an inside mid is a need but don’t know who else we could offer?

Crouch is worth more than Luko... who is only worth a 2nd rounder on it's own.

 

[119others]

I reckon Lukosius would be Port bound not to us given his relationships with Rozee and Butters.

Power have bugger all draft capital.

His stocks have fallen.

I do remember at the time the infamous Faith swore that Luko wasn’t a top 7-8 player from that draft. He may owe someone a nice bottle of wine but he DID nail that very unpopular call with Luko (along with Vaders Petrenko is a Dud and a legendary previously named poster rating Bock and Doughty when they were almost universally despised at the time)

Maffew is

 

[PeterSalt]

Yes .. it's true

Gives coaches who aren't going to be re-contracted a little time to sort their future out

 

[Scorpus]

I reckon there's a lot of clubs that would definitely offer a first rounder for Luko, but it shouldn't be us, and can't be us given our list

yo how do I change my user name though!!!!!!!!!!! pls tell

He’s renounced edgism!

[Crows I Am]

Pick 4 is way to much for Luko. I'd rate him around a late 1st. Our 2nd will be early so that plus a sweetener and then us taking on his contract should be enough.

I'm just worried that the Club has apparently made it clear that our first is on the table and we are looking to bring in established players. This may mean they get desperate and decide to use pick 4... really hoping not as that pick should be quarantined for a gun mid at the draft.

That talk was stronger early season off the back of missing out on a big recruit last year and expecting to make finals (not such high pick plus different premiership clock position)

It’s kind of hung around a bit but only through lazy journalism I think

 

[rabidcrow]

If Hardwick really want him gone why would the offer be more than a future 2nd rounder? We are taking his contract and risk whether his development changes when he return home.

Absolutely correct. SEN talking up two first rounders. pahlease!
It is almost a salary dump - not giving anything inside 15 for him

I agree... Give them what we get for kaene and maybe next year's second. This draft class is highly rated

 

[BunjiMC]

I think 4 four Luko and pick 6 is a good deal for both.

We get Luko and hopefully Draper.

GC get a pick in before their academy pick and then use 10 on the academy.

I'm keen.

Draper aint sliding to 6 ... We'll be lucky if he's available at 4 imho

Guys you can stop having a fit about trading pick 4 for Lukosius. The club isn't that stupid so just stop it.

With Rioli coming in, Rowell out of contract next year, King the year after this looks like a salary dump. And the great news is GC are loaded with picks that are going to be burned by the Lombard pick (6, 11, 20, 26).

I agree that is a risk. But it's a risk with pick 4 anyway. Sure we agree with GC that they don't pick him so really it's up to St Kilda. Worth the risk I say.
