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

1. 119 is a Harshad number, meaning it is divisible by the sum of its digits (1+1+9=11), and it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of three distinct cubes in two different ways: 2³ + 3³ + 6³ and 1³ + 4³ + 6³.

2. Port is really sh!t.


I’m no mathematician but looked up properties of 119 and was misled. You’re right it isn’t a Harshad number like 117 (1+1+7=9) and 120 (1+2+0=2).
119 is apparently a totient number but the explanation for that is above my pay grade.


Stabby? Care to posit an opinion on any of these assertions?

My knowledge only extends to option '2.' My understanding is that that is correct!

Regardless of variables or permutations, 119 in THIS instance, represents the sum total of the end product of the really big ****ing shellacking of Port Power in the biggest AFL grand final loss in history by the Geelong Football Club.

This poor development stuff is getting a bit old. RT, Fog, Murray, Worrell, Butts and even Borlase have all developed nicely as KP players on our list.

On top of that, Tex has worked very closely with RT and Fog and would have already been working with Welsh this year too, can't get a better mentor than that.

True, but it’s taken 4 years to develop TT and Fog… Welsh will also require some refinement. He’s a big body, but he’s still a kid, with some serious growing to come.

I agree with a lot of the posts in the last page

On the last page?

Too good to be true.

Was he sober in that interview?

 

[MrBarry]

That'll be another culinary for Robbo if it does happen.

 

[Scorpus]

I think he's right but that's purely a coincidence. He's never been a good source of information

posturing

I don’t think you could argue the time for Butts and Murray - both were in and performing solidly early. Perhaps ceiling - but I would argue Murray has shown signs of being elite already, obviously dependent on health going forward

And even Worrell after some injuries was becoming a first choice player after only 3 years on the list.
Fog took time - but is looking elite now

Borlase was only ever going to be a fringe player

Agree and remember Butts pantsing Cameron in the Crows massive upset round 1 2021 - in only his 3rd game.

Historically our development of KPD, esp considering price often paid, is perhaps best in the league…since 2000 Rutten,, Bock, Keane, Butts, Murray and first rounders Talia, Davis and Lever. Clearly there is one exception but thankfully George has me on ignore now !

 

[119others]

But he's not a tall fwd... He's not even as tall as fog

Same size as Darling already. That would be a perfect type complement to tall bomb it in TT and leading type player Tex replacement Fog

Robbo or Clayton?

Never gets old and never ceases to be funny - Monty Python The Argument

Up there with this as peak Monty

 

[119others]

Probably want a top 5 pick so they can get ahead of us for Draper

Surely they have more pressing list needs? Rozee, Butters, JHF (best of all) a Brownlow Medalist and top quartile stopper already competing for midfield time

 

[119others]

Port would have to sell the farm to get a Top 5 Pick.

No way is any bottom 5 Club going to part away with a Top 5 pick in a good draft.

Except for perhaps an elite top 20 in the league type player. Which Houston is no where near

Is he ever...

Exactly, you’ve encapsulated in words what I couldn’t express in numbers

I will never forget I got banned on the main forum years ago for saying Hartlett is worth at best an early 2nd rounder.

No team would pay that

Isnt that effectively what Port paid for JHF at the end of the day, I know it was a complicated deal involving Junior, but thats what it ended up being.

Port Adelaide

Trade out: Picks 8, 43, 53, 57, 2023 first-round pick, 2023 second-round pick, 2023 third-round pick

Trade in: Jason Horne-Francis, Junior Rioli, 2023 second-round pick (tied to Collingwood), 2023 future third-round pick (tied to Fremantle)

Houston is 27. He is an all Australian but id say he is a single first rounder and and maybe a low 2nd rounder. At best. Could do some steak Knife selections around that but he is not going to get two first rounders. Port just hoping so they can try and get more c grade missing pieces.

I didn't realise Robbo worked at the Dee's
