will miss the first 2 games at Carlton, he will be an integral part of the Blues’ successful 2025 campaign

What happened to the salary dump player? Hmm

He's only missing opening round...

 

[Blue_Fusion]

What happened to the salary dump player? Hmm

We have no draft picks (we'd be willing to part with) for a salary dump player...

 

[AT97]

Paul seems to know something we don’t

Definitely a “vibe” thing for Barrett, no substance.

 

[Arr0w]

If Austin didn't want Houston, he would have stated it publicly, like he did with Membrey

It all comes down to cost

Yep I get that, but difference between a rumour and nonsense.

Both have a different meaning in the dictionary

Who is Paul?

Works at SEN and has an involvement at the club! He knew about Graham Wright before it happened and hinted at something happening the night before we traded for pick 14 with the Hawks …

He’s an actual credible ITK

So is this just a gut feel?

One is a Rumour thread and the other is a Rumour No Discussion thread.

Same. Same.

Rumour:
a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth!

 

[RoyalBlues]

No, it’s not; and I do think he’ll be an important link in the team in ‘25.

 

[BlueTang]

Probably a few have said this, if we could trade 14 to Sydney for their 19 and 22, taking 3 players in the top 25 (12,19,22), my feeling is two will at least turn out really well for us

 

[Juddrockz]

No, it’s not

Wow,huge scoop if it comes to fruition.

Understand

Say I post numerous "rumours" yearly and none come true, does it get to a point where mods start deleting said posters rumours?

I did state in my original comment that I understand there are reputable "in the know" posters btw

Any idea of what Port are accepting from us?

 

[RoyalBlues]

Pick 12 (and possibly a player)

 

[Juddrockz]

Yeah,i agree with you on that.
I just watched the reply when we played Port early in the year to see how Houston played. He only had 22 disposals but his kicking is sublime.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Pick 12 (and possibly a player)

Closer we get to the end of the trade period, the less inclined I am to want Houston. And I was always keen on Houston. Id rather take both picks to the draft.

Is that because it’s the known ( 12 and 14 ) vs. the unknown at the minute though?

Think im just more keen on adding a couple of quality top 15 players now.

 

[AT97]

Would you think we would receive something additional in return with the player included?

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Pick 12 (and possibly a player)

This suggests to me we might look to move 14 to 19 and 22 if Sydney is keen

And before anyone comes after you with pitchforks if it doesn't happen, we know that things can change pretty quickly during the trade period.

Weirdly enough, I'm never the greatest optimist when it comes down to these things, but for whatever reason I've had that gut feeling he'd end up in the navy blue by the end of the trade period. The pick swaps for mine were the ducks just lining up.

Reckon it'll happen....

I'm with you on that. Actually glad we're not going all in on a player just because he's available. Shiel was a perfect example at the time where we tried too hard to get someone who didn't want to come to us. Seems we've learned from it and glad we never got him
