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

[rabidcrow]

Keeler's not a ruck he's played a mix of Key Forward and Key Back for the Sandringham Zebras, Key Forward last year and Key Back this year, Barnett is struggling at WAFL level, Goad has been awful at VFL even considering he's very raw, appears miles off it.

You'd have to be joking re an improvement on O'Brien and Strachan, none of them would geta look in against our 2 blokes currently.

How is Verrall tracking? Out of contract this year I believe

Read the other day he was playing well and about to sign a 1 year deal with dees. Only came across that when Gawn injury happened, haven't seen anything of him

Of course we can improve it, if we target areas that need improving. Like our core midfield with elite talent, our small forward stocks, our ruck.

Does Perryman actually improve our team significantly, to the tune of $5 million, instead of playing someone we already have?

He's a good player, but he's closer to the role player end of the scale than star end of the scale. So the question has to be asked whether it's worth that sort of cash to replace one of our role players off half back, the wing, 2nd midfield rotation

If we have as big a pool of money sitting their that we have been led to believe then we need to spend some of it - you can only front end to a certain degree.
Perryman is a good player, tough, pretty quick and arguably the best available player left out of contract - certainly top 5 out there at the moment.
And we need more good players. I’m f that means Nank or Sholl unluckily get knocked back to depth players and Jones gets knocked back another position so be it

I would love for us to be signing LDU or Kossie Pickett or someone that would be a massive difference maker - but they aren’t available to anyone, or just us

Last year we went only for big fish - and start this year down McAdam,Doedee, Murray and Harry with only draftees to replace them

And look how that worked out

So it’s NOT Perryman now? Wish they’d make up their frigging minds!

 

[spenze]

Would Cummings even replace anyone in our best 22?

I posted earlier this latest news was a big 180 turn from what was reported a week earlier, now it’s gone full 360

Plenty of clicks and engagement though I’m sure and this latest spin will only get more. Modern day definition of great journalism

Cumming > Perryman for mine.

Would be funny if Port traded him then got ahead of us in the draft again somehow

There was a rumour early in the year they were trying to get picks in to get Sid Draper, Wines to North was spoke of back then. Houston would be a massive loss for them.

Probably didn’t expect us to be 14th.

Midfield is the last position they need to fill.

 

[BACCS]

The media are already softening us up on this...

Wines doesn't have any value anyway.

North trading a top 2 pick for another midfielder will be hilarious. They are the ones who should be trading down to get one of the highly rated top KPD.

Good as he is my preferred FA.

Are you serious?

Comfortably best 22!

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Big money on Sloaney not being at the game Friday night - saw him in Singapore!

But if they bought Perryman in as a replacement? Similar wage - they would get a first rounder for Houston I would think. Not bad business

It will lessen their premiership chance next year but maybe Carr already knows like all of us that they don't have the list.

Funny how the Vic media are all for this, but all actively campaigned against Band 1 compensation for B Crouch.
Flogs.

All the more reason to get in front of them on draft night

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Interestingly didn't name us in the clubs interested. I would take his word over HS crew

He named us and Port a few months ago

Who on earth is giving up a top 4 pick for him??? Its not like they even have a current 1st to include and i would guess a f1 is not cutting it either

 

[Bazz_27]

Last few times it's come up he hasn't mentioned us

Big money on Sloaney not being at the game Friday night - saw him in Singapore!

I saw him last night at the junior members' event. He must have left late last night or early this morning
