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

[Carmo]

I view Dodson as being like 75/25 llikely to choose Basketball versus Football. What do others think?

Still, if he does nominate footy, he'd def be worth looking at / getting in.

 

[rabidcrow]

I'd like both too but if I had only one choice I wouldn't hesitate to take Dodson...not for one millisecond.

While I agree - we are fully wedded to Welsh, including having him play for us this year, so we know that’s locked unless a ridiculously early bid comes

Welsh is not a tall forward at AFL, he's a 3rd tall i.e. Jake Stringer.

Yes... similar to Gollant.

At the end of the day, he'd be our only forward taller than your average pygmy, other than Fog & TT.

 

[Mutineer]

Nothing like Gollant actually which you should know if you've watched both play as forwards.

Tyler doesn't turn 18 until the 15th of August. The probability is high he will have another growth period.

He's 191 cm now. Hope he can get to 195+

Who cares about 4cm, Welsh plays tall since he launch at the ball and crash the pack for marks like a 195cm KPF but is a lot agile and quick than 195cm KPF at ground level.

Different styles and builds, but both are 3rd tall forwards.

 

[Mutineer]

Different styles and builds, but both are 3rd tall forwards.

Glaringly different game styles and builds. One is a deadset aerialist as a forward, the other a super fast leading forward hence the Jake Stringer comparison...Welsh has speed and grunt that Gollant could only dream about.

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Punter on SEN tonight dropped a rumour that Sam Berry is off to Collingwood.
Would normally not give any cred but is the same punter who said Laird had a scan last year which he denied.
Then had to go on radio and apologise to him for lying.

If he chooses basketball we should do a dodgy deal like the pies did with their college basketball kid, so we can cat B him if it doesn’t work out

You’ve missed his point, he’s not comparing their style just that they are both 3rd talls.

Interesting. If we get a second round pick that we could use as part of a ploy to get a second first-round pick this year, I'd consider it.

not sure if posted yet but smith is definitely going again next year, was asked on blight and wildys show tonight…so obviously he has met the extension triggers….massive sigh…

We have to be the least professional club in the league.

Make him captain of the sanfl then.

Apparently he offers them good leadership.

Think more of case that we have poor operators in most key roles & they don't even know why the club is mediocre.

Who at AFC has had a successful background in their current role?

Bundle him and Keane for a future 1st plus this years 26

ehh was always going to be

Berry to Collingwood actually makes sense, a natural replacement for Mitchell.

And if he plays like he did against the lions on the weekend, he will be a real loss for us in the years to come as that game of his was very good

Pfft no one that’s left us has ever gone on to be anything…..

For keeping one of our 4 guys that have played more than 150 games? Like Sydney have 12 play every week - we have 4 on our list with Sloane departure
Shouldn’t be guaranteed a game but not surprising we have kept him

Clearly Nicks was talking about his own future which will have the same duration as Smith and end mid next year, Smith will retire and Nicks will get the boot.

 

[CryptoCrow]

Loser coach re-signed because they couldn’t handle the noise. That has them trying to shut down dissent. The place is ****ed.
