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

[WeeBlake]

Maybe this person is experienced in mass sackings?

 

[AFC3000]

Seriously another People & Culture role is the LAST thing the crows need.

P&C people just search for P&C issues.

We need better football people.

Look, if it's an impressive name then sure, I won't complain, much.

But really, how about just fire and upgrade the people creating the people and culture problems.

 

[jackster83]

Sounds like a good job for this guy

FFS, I swore out loud when I saw this.

 

[Jirkago75]

If true then they won’t ask for the world. A second should get it done

He’s followed it up by saying the role sounds like it will be more than HR, they’ll be involved in some football stuff as well

So they're admitting Nicks is a failure since we apparently need to bring in more "Culture" experts in?

Will have to wait until it's all official, but if this is the sort of stuff they're actioning after an internal review it just sounds like it'll be a bunch of Dennis Denuto talk about "the vibe of it" and not having any real answers. Especially if they're not gonna focus on the immediate football group.

 

[PeterSalt]

Awesome. More of what we need, board members with no football experience.

The executive (senior management), not the board, and paid outside the soft cap

 

[Firewalker]

They'll probably try and hire Rupert Sapwell again.

Ha, when it was mentioned I went straight back to thinking about that, Daniel Jackson then got that specific role. Amazing that they feel Adam Kelly must either have so much on his plate/think he’s horrible at his job but won’t sack him that he needs to diversify his role and report to yet another person on the executive.

He's too busy guarding the bee.

 

[Mutineer]

Working with Chris Fagan still isn’t he?

Also done plenty of work with us over the years IIRC?

 

[bettingonbetts]

If we can somehow nab ANB, Luko and Cuming and keep F1 I’ll be stoked. More stoked if it’s Draper we select. Would be nice to be excited about something associated with this club again!

 

[MRB37]

He was on the panel that hired Nicks.

He runs a leadership consultancy business from my last memory.

 

[Scorpus]

If Gold Coast reckon Rioli is worth pick 6, they'll be asking for three top 10 picks for Lukosius

 

[Geoffa32]

So right now based on all reports that have legs...

Round 1 2025
Worrell, Butts, Michalanney
Nankervis, Murray, Hinge

Rob (), Crouch, Soligo
Cumming, Dawson, Sholl

Lukosius, Fog, Rankine
Rash, Thilthorpe, ANB

Curtin, Draper, Dowling, Taylor, Laird
(they'll cave to 5 man bench eventually)

Buy your September flights now people

To Bali?

 

[Pea Nut]

Go read the trade threads and Richmond board, some reckon he's worth 2 first round picks, and want 6 and 13. Collingwood fans want pick 13 or at worst pick 20 for Noble. Trade season has arrived !!

 

[LoBu]

P&C people just search for and create P&C issues.

We need better football people.

They'll likely have HR on selection committee too

I think GC will spend 20 and 26 to secure Sydneys pick 18. Sydney enter the draft one pick later but have 3 picks in the next 7, GC can give a first rounder for Rioli and take a punt their guy isn't gone by 13.

No way a loose HBF gets pick 6

If Rioli was uncontracted I’d agree, but I’m not sure they’ll let him go easily at all. I actually think it’s more likely he stays than he goes for a late first

13 + a second could be decent middle ground

 

[Archie87]

Lol a 29 year old Rioli, even contracted, is worth pick 13 at the absolute most...he's a decent flanker and nothing more...

Makes me annoyed that we didn't trade Laird or Smith a few years ago if that was the going rate

 

[Danger in Texas]

What was the year that Smith reportedly had interest from Brisbane?

pick 6 for a bloke who mainly players half back is mental. i know he's pretty good at it but bloody hell

 

[GameofSloanes]

That's the going rate for vic clubs
We'd get pick 30 after much media pressure to not overpay

Exactly, it's only the players from a big 4 vic side that the media overrate by that much.

 

[CrowMike]

Rowey saying on 5aa a new position on the executive has been created to be filled by an outside person with no football ties but with sporting ties - sounds like more a head of People and Culture position he says

Balme?

 

[FR0GGY]

He’s followed it up by saying the role sounds like it will be more than HR, they’ll be involved in some football stuff as well

So a person with no football ties involved with football stuff?
Wowee
