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

[jackster83]

You’d have to assume Houston is gone if Pickett nominates them. It’ll take Houston and then some for Kozzy.

Suspended player being traded for another suspended player. I wonder if that has ever happened before.

 

[Pea Nut]

Twomey "Port had other priorities" - Is he on their payroll? Never sees things as a positive for us.

I doubt he's on their payroll, but I would tip that Port are completely open and transparent with him when it comes to giving him info on potential moves and trades. Whereas we are likely the opposite and give him donuts at the best of times.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Port troll confirmed.

Guaranteed not.

Kozi is almost worth two first round picks IMO

 

[Mutineer]

The Kozzy Pickett whispers of wanting out are now seriously ramping up. No doubt with all the smoke around Petracca, things aren't rosy down at the Demons. Now this is the type of player we should be going hard for. AFL 360 now going with this news.

Yet quite a few of the Dees young players and older guys have penned new contracts this year. Can't be that bad if they're signing on?

Jacob Van Rooyen 2029
Caleb Windsor signed on until 2028
Koltyn Tholstrup 2028
Harrison Petty until 2027
Ed Langdon 2028
Jack Viney 2028

Dan curtin interviewed. Is all ok?

Houston doesn't want to go to Melbourne though, but Port pushing him out suggests it was to open the way up for Kozi to come in.

Port Power didn't care it was Melbourne, they were the only deluded club to offer him 2 1st rounders for Houston. The Saints said no and Silvagni leaked he was being shopped to the media.

Dan curtin interviewed. Is all ok?

I think everyone interviews. Below says curtin says he loves the club and cant wait to get back for pre season. Brodie smith also says happy to play afl or sanfl

Rachele and Melbourne second for Pickett and ANB

 

[BunjiMC]

Good business all round

 

[Shifty Crow]

ANB is very underrated, I’m happy for him to be in our side

We are a team that seriously lacks on-field leadership and he brings that and some toughness

Hopefully it also means no more Murphy

Can't we just offer Smithers an SANFL contract as well as a coaching role. He won't play much if any AFL next season. Waste of a list spot.
Another f/u by the coach allow him to get extension.

Where did the Clayton Oliver rumours end up?


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Trying to keep him on the straight and narrow . Gawn and his wife have asked him to go away on some sort of health camp or something with them was reported.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Rachele and Melbourne second for Pickett and ANB

Mmmm ....NO !

I'm keeping Rachele over Pickett ....who has been wildly inconsistent this year

 

[ams4crows]

You’d have to assume Houston is gone if Pickett nominates them. It’ll take Houston and then some for Kozzy.

Georgiadis or Marshall, Melbourne need a forward.

At least we could throw Gollant and pick 4 at them

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Himmelberg is an easy keep for me. Sure, he can be frustrating, but he's an adequate third tall who can provide a chop out in the ruck, he's already here, and he'd fetch us about a packet of chips as a compo pick.

Berg can play decent footy.
Burgess is not up to AFL standard.

It's a no brainer between these 2.

You can believe everything is going swimmingly down at Melbourne if you want to. There's plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Dan curtin interviewed. Is all ok?

Yes, he's apparently happy here.

Lucky given how he has been treated.

 

[40porpoise]

I'd give up pick 4 and next year's first for ANB and kosi. He's not the pure mid but we can rotate him and Rankine.

 

[Mutineer]

I'm not suggesting anything but it's odd so many of their young and older players are penning long term deals if everythings as bad as the Caro's of this World etc are claiming.

 

[ams4crows]

Why does it feel like if we trade 4 whoever is selected at pick 4 will become a generational player and if we keep it picks 3 and 5 will be awesome and 4 will bust.

Dees a more akin to the titanic at the moment.

Pickett and ANB for pick 4 and next years F1

No way!

 

[Geoffa32]

Throw in Clayton to sweeten the deal..
