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

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Look, I like to beat up on the club as much as anyone else, but do we really believe this.

It feels like every year there’s some hand wringing that happens in the lead up to trade week that doesn’t come to fruition.

Twomey normally has a good read on us

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

In terms of pick numbers yes.

This year's pick is probably more valuable in terms of trade currency though. I'm hoping we use it to address the ruck situation.

Fair and a developing ruck has to be a priority with one of our picks this year, but I think it’s splitting hairs worrying about the trade being this years or next years 2nd. We always seem to get involved with pick swaps pre/during draft night, so plenty to play out still.

Does he? Hasn't seemed like it in the past.

 

[GROTTO]

how would Richmond's first be involved in a trade between carlton and port?

it would probably need to be pick 1 for port to get Draper, and I cannot think of a single scenario where pick 1 ends up at port.

Unless Butters ends up back to Victoria with Houston.

 

[crow2crow]

Unless Butters ends up back to Victoria with Houston.

if that happens it wont matter who port selects at the draft cos they aren't going to be much of a team next year

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Completely different source, not the original reliable source that he's waiting for a contract offer from Port.

The guy is a Port fan, but he told me about the Houston to carlton well before the media started running with it, so I think it might be worth posting.

• Perryman & Lukosius will be at Port next year.
• Soldo to GC.
• Marshall to GWS.
• Dixon obviously will retire.
• Ken won’t be their next year.
• Buckley as director of football for port
• Houston to Carlton, deal involving Richmond's first rounder.

If that plays out, Port would get luko and draper.

The Trade period feels like a showdown.

Houston to Carlton is not a hard leap to make given he was best man at Jack Silvagni’s wedding last off season, also hard to see how a pick from Richmond would be involved

 

[GROTTO]

You make that sound as if thats a bad thing.

 

[dogs105]

Himmelberg to GC, we get a compo pick... which we give to GC for Lukosius.

Himmelberg to GC for a million bucks. We get pick 5 which we give them...

I think they might be referring to the pick that Richmond gets for Rioli?

To be honest, it all sounds like bullshit anyway

this is fantasy trading....
basically:
Port giving up Soldo, Houston & Marshall for Luko and top 10 pick.
Carlton getting Houston......??
GWS gets Marshall... what do they lose to get him?
Richmond losing first rounder...... but also losing most likely rioli to GCS
what does richmond get out of this?

So GCS get rioli and soldo but lose luko..... nothing else?

Perryman is FA

so many holes in this deal

Adelaide tall "highly likely" to join rival: AFL trade news

The key forward had hoped to secure a move last year.

Straight swap for Luko

You're late.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Soldo would be third ruckman behind Witts and Moyle
Marshall third in line behind Cadman and Hogan

Tell your mate to package up 37 and 55 for Harley Reid while he's at it.

 

[Carmo]

For the record, I think clubs have given up on preventing leaks, so their new strategy is to just leak shitloads of bogus info to drown out the real info. The performance of our ITK's isn't as good as it once was. I assume the other clubs are doing the same and the other ITK's are probably dropping off as well. Please keep this in mind this offseason.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why is the fact that he is massively overpaid mean that we should pay more for him in picks??

Exactly... the reverse is true!

This 'source', are they with you right now?

(Appreciate you passing it on)

Yeah, could be something in the idea of waiting until something happens before dumping on the club.
We are like startled gazelles with every bs media trade suggestion.

thats the argument GC will pull. not that hes worth it

Simples they then keep him & lose a player they want to keep.

 

[Draft Bored]

By the way kick it to me_, thanks for posting what your mate said. That's exactly what this forum is for.

You shouldn't be offended by any of the replies, we're just messing around!

Said Dawson was going to Port...

 

[Danger in Texas]

Said Dawson was going to Port...

Did he? I only remember Edmund saying it and then Kane attempting to run salt into the wound

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yeah I know he’s a random, at least he’s not pulling a source out of his arse I guess?

 

[crow2crow]

Exactly... the reverse is true!

its true from our perspective in this case but its not from their perspective. if we can get luko for F2 yeeha but we wont if port are poking around too. because they will put up F1 if they can get a first rounder this year through houston trade. they cant trade F1 if they dont

 

[1990crow]

Yeah I know he’s a random, at least he’s not pulling a source out of his arse I guess?

The years are kind of irrelevant. What is GC willing to accept to get his contract off their books and accommodate Mac Andrew?

 

[FR0GGY]

Imho, Toby Murray should be in front of the Berg and Burgess as a backup Ruck/Forward. Some people are very hopeful that Chris Burgess will be playing in the red and black next year.

Essendon are farking hopeless.
