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

[Floating Doughnut]

Why do the Hawks youngsters have more games under their belt than ours... when we started our rebuild first.

Mitchell will become the next genius coach imo.
Outside the square thinker. It was dropped on SEN and is noted on the Saint’s board how his wife Lyndall
was instrumental in the recruitment of Josh Battle , also Massimo D’Ambrosio a last year.
Apparently extremely good at networking and making prospective wags friends and aware of the club.

Their younger players have played more games than ours though... as Mitchell has prioritised getting games into them.

Take out Sloane, Smith & Laird & our average games drops significantly.

Compare their younger players who have played 50+ games to ours.

I heard a whisper that we're not landing anyone apart from ANB

This will likely be on the money.

Sort by age youngest to oldest

If you sort by last 5 games we were clearly the youngest

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You know exactly why

Yeah, but we got Murphy to 100+ games... ****ing awesome.

 

[Brett Cummings]

Goodwin to the Crows confirmed

Still an upgrade on nicks lol.

 

[bigman]

Concerning rumours that Lukosius and cumming off to port.

Hopefully not the case, particularly cumming.

Other than money there’s no reason to chose us at the moment

Why would any elite sportsman want to come to an environment that doesn't prioritise winning.

This caring sharing crap is an embarrassment.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Just curious and with all due respect, why are you singling this poor bugger out? Are you mentoring Moogle?

The ability to be disrespectful is a big part of the appeal of this place for me. Surely you've had the odd crack,sans any evidence,since you've been here?

Its just unnecessary.

 

[ams4crows]

More like Petracca finalised wised up and realised his only real option was to stay at Melbourne

No doubt the strategy was for Petrecca to go nuclear and his manager leaked info to the media but now they realise that 1. Carlton and Collingwood don’t have cap space or trade capital to get him in the door, and 2. A contract with 6 years remaining is ridiculously hard to exit

Not a well thought through approach by player and manager


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Their only option was the grievance tribunal to void the contract due to duty of care neglect. But doing it would destroy his "brand" and his injury is so bad he may never play the same again, may as well take the guaranteed 6 million in 6 years.

 

[adelaidecrows]

You think there isn't evidence that Brett Burton is a pea brain?

lol

Be better

 

[ams4crows]

Luko would have said if he was going to the crows already, it's clearly Port

[Danger in Texas]

Concerning rumours that Lukosius and cumming off to port.

Hopefully not the case, particularly cumming.

Don’t care about Luko, tbh

Cumming really hurts. And yeah, apparently him going to Port is growing legs

God, we suck

 

[Danger in Texas]

How will those ****ers fit all of Luko/Cumming/Perryman into their cap, though

 

[Brett Cummings]

Luko would have said if he was going to the crows already, it's clearly Port

Good luck to port. They want a first rounder at minimum for him.

and there's no way I'm gving up pick 4, splitting it or a future 1st.

Having 8 players in your best 22 over the age of 27 and 150 games really does help the mean game count. That's no knock on the Hawks either, football is a mid-to-late 20s game.



Plus, the whole they were gunning for finals, we were struggling also influenced seeing teams who are trying to make hay whilst the sun shines are going to select more experienced lineups - and be more resistant to change - whereas teams who are struggling are going to go younger (seeing we were one of the teams who ended the year younger/less experienced then we begun it, whereas Hawks became a fair bit older/more experienced).

Would you want to play under Nicks...

 

[robboaustralia]

But weren’t we going hard trade season…………… must have been a dream

They always say this but never deliver.
