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

[El Doederino]

Eh, this guy said that Keane was committed to Coll and that Tex was retiring, too

He backtracked on Tex about a week before the contract was announced

 

[Geoffa32]

is he the one that said keane had walked out on the club?

He sucked me in.

He is one of Timmy Gs mates.


As soon as I heard his voice knew who he was and thought it was legit.

 

[Scorpus]

Seconded by this guy who called the day Macrae would get announced before it happened (also said Caleb Daniel though)

Looks like baseless shitposting to give Essendon fans some false hope

 

[dylan123]

Sheezel spent most of the year in the midfield, only covering late season with McKercher and Fisher injuries

Both Sheezel and McKercher will be predominantly mids next year …..if they’re chasing Houston, it’s not really good news for Goater

Disagree with Sheezel spending most of the year in the midfield. Even CD would with that given he never got midfield status.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Bond getting a one-year deal, according to Inside Trading

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Not surprisingly.
Reckon 2 assistants thrown under the bus.

Burns you would expect would be gone.

Probably Godden too.

But when the senior coach is inadequate, we are just delaying the inevitable unless we have a Carr scenario.

 

[Scorpus]

Bond getting a one-year deal, according to Inside Trading

Given how we've been giving out 2 year contracts like candy, he'd feel pretty annoyed with a one year deal

 

[Danger in Texas]

Given how we've been giving out 2 year contracts like candy, he'd feel pretty annoyed with a one year deal

Bond getting one year while Borlase gets two (if that ends up being correct) is some bizarro-world stuff

Geez, I hope not.

Think they must have moved him at some stage this year, heard him on his segment on SEN and he was talking about being a full time mid.

 

[crow2crow]

Rowe clearly heard some stuff on our coaching lineup but cant disclose.
Did he just say Nicksy will be there bit there will be another "coach"? or did I mishear that while pouring my wine.

Don’t announcements on assistant coaches futures, have to be announced by end of August ?

Yeah went from zero time to a fair bit more but just didn't feel like he became a full time midfielder.

CBA not the be all end all but had 5 games with 50%+ CBA - https://dfsaustralia.com/afl-cbas/?team=NTH&season=2024

To be fair, I'm sure none of us here actually really watched much of North outside of when they vsed us

Not sure I watched more than 5 minutes of north!

Sounds like Mac Andrew has signed a 9 year contract, 5 years plus a four year trigger

 

[cleanhands]

Who?

 

[GROTTO]

Sounds like Mac Andrew has signed a 9 year contract, 5 years plus a four year trigger

Their salary cap will be ready to explode, players like Luko sitting on the sidelines is a luxury they cannot afford.

Surely this should help us with leverage in any negotiation.

I was curious how Dave Mackay fitted in at Hawthorn so I checked out their coaching panel.

. Despite the blokes I don't know, the others seem pretty substantial.
Why can't/don't we have a list like that?

 

[Crow till I die]

Who?

The guy that means Lukosius has to be a salary dump

I think Siposs spent time in the NFL as a kicker, so would be a different look on things

F2 for Luko.

[Fritz n Sauce]

F2 for Luko.

Might be with the Mac Andrew 10 year deal about to be announced

 

[GROTTO]

Lets not forget, Luko is on huge money in his final year at the Suns.

If Luko selects us, we have the leverage here, this is Bowes 2.0 if anything.

The Mac Andrew contract and any trade targets the Suns have in mind, will burst their salary cap in 2025.
