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

[George Kramer]

What happens when we play the dogs and are up against Darcy (If he can work out how to kick), he is 206cms, without Butts Wooz is our tallest at 195, giving up 11 cms is a big disadvantage. Other options are 194cms and then there's the HE ISN'T A KEY DEFENDER that is 197

Darcy would have torched us had he kicked straight. Need Butts

 

[CromradeCromulent]

lmao at all the Collingwood cope going "Thank God we never wanted him" dude you're playing Moore and Frampton as your main key backs

 

[Danger in Texas]

I’m sure he was on him for a bit

Well he should’ve been on Amartey for longer, especially when he got a run on. Use our best defender to cool the hot hand

Even if not Murray, Butts played that game as well

 

[Coopers]

Fishing, beaches, barossa

Lack of Victorians

 

[craig crowing]

Yeah not quite the big news hoping though .
Thought we would need his trade value to get picks and trades hoping done

Reckon part of their lack of desire for Keane is the scars from him leaving for Ireland, even though that was during COVID so probably a fair enough excuse to do so

Edit- He is actually 209.5cms! WTF

Long neck so I wouldn't be too worried

We've got the lizard, may as well have the long neck turtle... or

Thought the turtle’s neck/head was part of a weirdly shaped rock, for a second

 

[Minor Threat]

Can we safely say Borlase is goneski now?

He literally just signed a 2 year extension

 

[Bazz_27]

He literally just signed a 2 year extension

Did he though? 7news i think said he has but nothing from the club...

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Is it possible to play Butts, Murray, Worrell and Keane in the same side?

Imho Worrell could play the Hinge role off the half back flank. He has reasonable pace and his long precise kicking into the F50 would be a real weapon. This would allow Hinge to play on the wing which is one of our greatest weaknesses.

Who the **** was Butts on then?

 

[Redline]

I'm okay with signing Keane but I doubt he makes it to the end of 2028 with us.

While I'm happy to keep him I did see an opportunity to improve our draft hand with ejther him or Berry but I don't think there was a heap of interest.

Collingwood were absolutely interested, we (correctly, imo) decided that Keane was worth more to us than he would garner in a trade.

I think in a weaker draft year and if Collingwood had some picks we might have entertained it but like you say better to hang onto him.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I like Keane but there are some cracks in his game. Just have to hope the rest of the backline stays fit because he looked bloody good early in the season.

FFS (I'm being nice) ....he's played just 28 games of Aussie Rules Football .....what did you expect, a finished product

Does not the improvement in year 2 on year 1, give you any clues

 

[Danger in Texas]

McLean, I guess?

Either way, it’s just another sign of Maffew’s lack of creativity

It was simply Keanes Manager playing one Club off against another suitor .....just like we were used each time Pavlich came up for a Contract renewal

 

[WaynesWorld19]

The opposite is true.

You offer the player the deal so they refuse to go anywhere else. Then their club has no negotiating power.

Yep ....the key to the Lukosius deal, is his back ended Contract

 

[crow2crow]

Remember Amartey? Our coaches aren’t smart enough to not have a stopper.

you should be selecting based on what you need that week to win
sometimes its butts sometimes its not. sometimes its walker sometimes its not and so on...

 

[feenix67]

With who?

All three played that game but Nicks kept Keane on Amartey all game from memory

Dowling ended up on him late in the final quarter.

That's like putting Pedlar on Stewart

To be fair, I watched that game from a bar in Vietnam, so may have been 10 Saigons deep and a little distracted

I don't think that's right. There were some changes and swapping back, obviously not successful, but you can't blame Nicks for making no changes. (narrator: oh yes you can. )
