Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXV - 'Loopy' Season has begun

[PrendersBigEngine]

I'm in the camp that whilst I'd love him at Carlton - he's one of the best in the comp - I don't like what him leaving could mean for player contracts and the competition as a whole.

Fair enough. Understand that position.

 

[PrendersBigEngine]

Fair enough. Understand that position.

Just to add though. If he did want out I'm glad we had a red hot go.

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Well, that was an awesome ride but it has sadly come to an end.

We move on with our other targets.

BigFooty thanks you for the traffic.

How much of a cut does McClure get?

 

[SpiritOfCarlton]

Petracca? More like Retracca.

 

[Stickitupthem]

Ha, got a photo just like that last week when I drove past that place. Just around the corner from Raheen.

Either of the three would do I was stunned when I drove past as well and did a u turn just to see

 

[macky99]

Can categorically say that he was 1000% intending on leaving if he didn’t get what he wanted from the club (not sure what it was, guessing some staff and “culture” changes)

This does nothing but confirm that the club gave (or at least guaranteed him) of what he wanted.

This has been predominantly driven by a journalist pumping up ratings.
l would suggest clubs of interest have indicated to his management they cannot facilitate a trade and he has reverted back to sort his differences with Melbourne.

There’s a hell of a lot more to it than that

l don't believe he is in a position to back flip now.
He will stay at Melbourne

I’m not say that he’s leaving, or staying.

That press release has absolutely nothing to do with what happens though. It’s all about taking the air out the situation now, 6 weeks before anything can actually happen, and it is a direct response by the club to Roffey’s SEN interview.

 

[Aphrodite]

Very strange indeed. Get the feeling there is more that plays out with this situation

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Oh Bundy
Are you sure you want to pick this hill?

I forgot to add "lol"
I'm definitely not a ITKer

 

[bradfisher14]

Until then, this whole thing could be a ploy to force the Dees to make the changes Petracca wants before reconciling with them.

Pretty much

 

[I bleed Blue]

Exactly why I didn't get excited at these rumours.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice eight or nine times however...

 

[zeggie]

Never wanted him. Too old, too slow, too expensive, too much baggage. /s

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Fair to say that although these things can be fluid throughout that some our alleged ITK posters have been proven to be a fair bit off the mark in regards to Houston and Petracca.

Agreed! Actually lost faith in their posts tbh. Very disappointing. Guess we could all say so and so is a lock anf then if it happens labelled a idk of it doesnt work out oh yeah things change.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Bummer, was pretty excited about the Petracca opportunity.

Back to discussing Haynes and Schache types

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Wait for all those who guaranteed his arrival to go quiet. More disappointed in myself for getting sucked in...rather than being lied to.

 

[Michael Jezz]

I wonder if Petracca remaining at Melbourne is conditional on Goodwin being sacked

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

So we're back to

Aleer
Berry
Travaglia
Rosas
Haynes

Maybe a mid option with some speed too?

On BF? You know what they say: Once bitten, twice bitten...

how is it being lied to? i'd assume in a volatile situation like this is shit can change very quickly

 

[thefrog]

Let’s not turn on our ITKs, so much changes so quickly in this industry

 

[bigbertha5]

Petracca was never coming. We weren't going to trade what Melbourne would have wanted and we probably couldn't afford his salary.

He's also a drama queen who is very selfish and not very bright. Not for us.

Much better placed trying to find another Elijah Hollands.

So you believe that press release implicitly then?

No thought that it may have been reactive to some of the information provided on here, and elsewhere?

 

[Foucault1989]

Essendon board quoted an Age article claiming we were into Laverde. Apparently he is worth a third rounder lol
