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

[Hang_Time]

Is there any real traction with the Burgo rumor other than "Carlton would like him"? He came back here for his family, is paid really well, not getting younger (different priorities) ...I don't know. Not saying we're smashing the lights out as a club right now, so can understand if he did leave, just not buying it yet...

Rumor was said to be false on triple M before said he is with the Crows for 2025 (Roo)

 

[Moe Ron]

Maybe he's finally understood what he's working with here and realises that attaching your career to this shitshow isn't exactly a good thing?

Maybe! But that's what I mean...seems all puff and conjecture right now. Which to be fair, is inline with the intention of the thread!

 

[rabidcrow]

Port has the greater need for a fwd, with Charlie about to retire ....Lukosius can see that, and see the plethora of FWD's we already have

The Contract can be smoothed out ....the trade though might be the issue, if they get Perryman

Perryman is free? How would he impact the trade - or do you think their salary cap will be too tight?

I’m guessing with Burgess leaving, this mean Oliver is not going to happen either

Yeah, I overlooked the Free Agent aspect

 

[Pugsley]

Depends on the station

Dillon and Roache reckon he goes to Crows

Dittmar reckons he toured Port (nothing about Crows) suggesting he goes there

Dillon is a massive Port fan. He just wants to laugh at us when he chooses Port.
What he doesn't realise is most of us don't care.

 

[GROTTO]

The thing is this is a Bowes scenario. Never going to get the Cats treatment, but either he's great trade value to take on the $1m pa salary or he stays which will have consequences for Hardwick's plans.

Correct. This is exactly the leverage we should use and the way we should negotiate a trade with the Suns.

No one here is saying f**k them and give us also a 1st or 2nd with Luko, I think I would be happy parting with a F2. Thats fair and reasonable for everyone.

 

[Freshj]

I'm confused with this Burgess report. Media says his going, some articles mentioning he's staying??

 

[GROTTO]

The question is - why isn't it the same? Do Gold Coast only do massively one sided deals for Geelong?

Look at all the idiotic trade deals the Suns have done over the years, its only with us we get shafted hard.

 

[chrisso crow]

Gotta love that last paragraph.

Spot on, aren't actual skills or game IQ required also, or do we just love battlers?

 

[Crows I Am]

Crows probably got confused as to which Burgess the report was about and we are trying playing hardball with him, we want to make sure we get the best trade possible.

The rumor was debunked this morning on Triple M Roo confirmed he is at the club for 2025

So Roo can be useful!

 

[GreyCrow]

Roo is the beacon of truth?

Yes and zero accountability

 

[Vader]

Roo is the beacon of truth?

We may question his football judgement, when making decisions about the club - but there's no reason to doubt his honesty on something like this.

 

[Coopers]

Also can anyone explain why we had a top shelf fitness coach but a bargain basement coaching panel during a rebuild while the main priority should have been player development?

Cos of the 2018 and 2019 seasons where we filled an entire casualty ward with hamstring injuries.

You shouldn't need an industry leading figure like Burgess to sort that out.

 

[kirky]

Maybe if our F1 is involved, the Luko + Rosas + 35 for F1 + 43

The pick 35 probably gets ANB done - so you could say our F1 + a 3rd rounder gets Luko, ROsas and ANB. I would be taking that as a decent return considering we will get a top mid at 4 this year AND still have pick 27 to go to the draft with in a strong deep draft.

Naturally only if Luko and Rosas want to come that is

Plus we are getting Cummings as a UFA.

 

[Betts are off]

Those threads are good in principal. Until everyone has a glass or 2 of red in the evening and completely derail it.

I'm looking at you Boomer Posters!

 

[Crow till I die]

Plus we are getting Cummings as a UFA.

The question we need to ask is getting Luko, Rosas, ANB and Cumming going to make us worse or better next year. If we are losing Parnell, McHenry, Gollant and Sloane to accommodate, then hell yes, they make us better - substantially I would think. It costs us our F1, I am ok with that as it still allows us a top end mid in the draft and maybe another at 27 along with Welsh - providing we can fit them all in

 

[Scorpus]

Right so we're no closer to confirming whether he's staying or going then

 

[Pugsley]

Right so we're no closer to confirming whether he's staying or going then

If he Roo says he is at the club for 2025, I'd say he is gone.

 

[kirky]

Disappointing if true

Maybe Covid and the isolation amplified the issue of being separated, or maybe Burgess prefers Melbourne as a city

Melbourne is a great city to live with its sport etc. The only issue WW lives there.
