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

[Crow till I die]

Why are we wanting to trade Pick 4? Still getting one of the gun mid prospects at 6 yes, but we're finally in that sweet spot where we can choose among a number of similarly-rated prospects. At pick 6, we probably won't be able to choose which of those gun mid prospects we want. Is Luko worth that?

Depends what else we could do with 4 and other picks to get 6, Luko and maybe that pick 11 as well for say Dodson

 

[Crow till I die]

Probably. But do we need another pick 11 talent?

Trading back hasn't worked for us.

Dodson?

 

[maxlilly]

That’s one of the only qualms I have about Reid, really - the fact he’s allergic to giving one year deals

I wish the AFC Board would also give out 1 year extensions

Noise is starting for a F2 in the media.

Deal.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Dodson?

Would like him but that's a high draft pick. Ruckman have generally gone in the second round or lower in recent years. A few exceptions. Max Gawn was pick 34.

Look, I wouldn't be unhappy to get Dodson at 11. But the phantoms don't suggest he will go that high.

Got to make bang for your buck and I hope we don't have access to a top 4 pick for a very long time.
Have to get this one right, no trade backs.

Yeah true, although this lad is like a Brodie Grundy clone in that he can ruck but he is terrific around the ground. He would be a magnificent get for us if we could land him somehow after we take that top end mid we need

Would GC entertain this? out Luko and pick 11 for our F1 and melb 2nd?. We keep pick 4 and then get to go after Dodson as well...

 

[Geoffa32]

Is it possible Petracca and Oliver don’t necessarily get along?

Would make sense with Petracca being a professional and Oliver playing on talent alone.

Maybe Petracca has told Melbourne it’s Oliver or me.

Or same issue as Petracca.

Melbourne injury management is terrible.

They let Petracca play on and caused more damage after match day cleared by Dr.

Rumour was Oliver wanted out after how poorly his injuries last year handled.

No, I don't think GC would go for that.

 

[maxlilly]

Ugh. Of all the players Nicks nabs Hately.

That gives you an insight into Nicks talent identification

You'd think Oliver was on the move. Can he get fit again and motivated is the question.

Maybe Cumming or Perryman have a relationship with Nicks.

 

[maxlilly]

it's like choosing between a slap in the face, a stubbed toe and a wet willy

I know which one i'd prefer

Reid will be a hero or forever villain if he messes this deal up with a bad trade.

We say take this deal or we make a bid for Lombardi at #4

 

[Crow till I die]

We say take this deal or we make a bid for Lombardi at #4

What if they call our bluff and say do it as they prefer another player over him? do we WANT Lombard at 4?

 

[ABAB]

Another poster mentioned his last few years is $1M so his contract was heavily backend, probably why Hardwick want him gone to also make salary room for Rioli.

Do GC want Luko ?

The Advertiser may have stolen your idea. You should sue for plagiarism.

He's listed around 20. Might need a margin to "guarantee" him.

 

[GROTTO]

Luko is on about $1m a year in his final two years at the Suns.

They should be giving us a 1st and Luko to take him off their books, Bowes style.

As I mentioned earlier on here, it will end up being a F2.

I rate him but at this time he is not a $1m man.

 

[Magma]

yeah i think it comes down to how much of his contract we take on. they have some serious players they're gonna need to pay well, and hardwick doesnt really **** with players like lukosius. if we take on his full salary i think a f2 or something is what we should hold firm on. he's a better footballer than bowes so i dont think gold coast would be sending anything along with him. question should be if the club truly believes they can unlock the obvious potential?

 

[whattagun07]

I know which one i'd prefer

me too.
they're all s*** though
