Rumour File #7

[Stig O'Hara]

Teach me to jump in with a rumour without a bit more checking first

That gets you a Kim Hagdorn "I heard it somewhere" gong.

 

[cookie monster]

Saw Rusty at the National Park Hotel, Kinglake, about 30 minutes ago. Any other sightings? Gotta find him.

Yeah, apparently that's where Adelaide officials do their meetings with players from Melbourne clubs.

Anybody care to take a guess on which team Dangerfield or Tippett followed as kids?

To be fair numbers, I am dealing with someone talking to someone at the JN medal via twitter... she got all panicy when they didnt know where Rusty was

Has to go into the board lexicon.

 

[Judderson]

Cannot only confirm that Rusty was at the B & F (left arm in a sling), he was talking to a group of light-hearted blokes who were playfully asking of he was staying. He kept saying it, before the guy got his camera out and Rusty said:

I'm ****ing staying.

Additionally, regarding Curnow, his left arm was also in a sling, asked him if he got the "Walker surgery", where he said he pretty much did. Asked him if he was looking forward to giving Montagna one: he grinned and said hopefully .

Great stuff, thanks for this. Sleeping now, and resting easier!

Numbers - definitely added to my lexicon

Jon Pierik

The Blues have also opened contract renegotiations with Bret Thornton. The utility reinvigorated his career this season after a shift to attack.

His manager, Anthony McConville, met the club yesterday. It is believed Thornton, who turns 28 next month, would be keen on a two-year deal.

Despite speculation to the contrary, the Blues claim they have no interest in trading half-back Jordan Russell.

Russell, second in the club best and fairest in 2010, played 16 matches this season but was overlooked for the finals. The 24-year-old remains under contract for next season but his management has contacted the Blues to clarify rumours he could be traded.

Midfielder Brock McLean, 25, is also contracted for next season but the Blues would entertain a trade for the hard-nut midfielder should he be open to a move.

Jon Pierik

Pierik's Carlton.

Too good.

 

[zeeCFC]

Russell was at the BnF, arm in sling...

Cach said they find out about delistings sometime this week I think.

ROK had surgery on his foot, will be right for preseason.

Just spotted Kouta at a cafe around the corner from my place (Nth Melb) having a coffee with some dodgy types in black suits. No souvs on offer.

Still looks fit....sign him up Ratts!

 

[Mr.X]

mcLean to GWS for picks 31 and 49

 

[HARKER]

How many shoulders did we actually operate on?

Curnow, Russell, Mitchell, Collins and McInnes.
We may be best served just recruiting our own surgeon to the club.

Walkers surgeon must have been very busy in recent weeks.

mcLean to GWS for picks 31 and 49

A laudable goal (I presume it's not more).

Pick 49 and some salary relief I'd settle for.

 

[HARKER]

mcLean to GWS for picks 31 and 49

Not great, but I reckon we'd take it if we could clear the money as well.
How big is the GWS ground?

 

[blue gunslinger]

well hopefully we have found the reason for JR's year and next year he will return to fine form

Kouta works part time for a finance company. I work as an accountant and actually had lunch with him a few months ago, he comes along and talks footy once his his colleague has got the finance spiel out of the way. It's quite possible he was meeting with someone as part of this role.
And yes, he still looks super fit, I don't think his knees and hip would appreciate more AFL though.
When I met him he introduced himself as 'Anthony', I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I idolised him as a teenager in the 90's. FWIW, he seems like a very humble guy.

'Tis a scourge, that caper.

 

[Aphrodite]

Yup... apparently Rusty is in Adelaide atm. Bigger cause for concern really...

Not good news about Rusty

Hoping your wrong about rusty I doubt it

Rusty was at the JNM last night.

No cause to panic folks.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

As mentioned in the B & F thread, notable absentees unless spotted by someone else were Carrazzo, O'hAilpin and Tuohy.

 

[Pafloyul]

pick 16 (Lucus), 22 and a player is what we are offering...

One thing that I have been thinking of is that we really have the depth now to challenge...

Oh... the irony!

Carrazz was there...but yes, no O'hAilpin

He would've loved the cheers he received!

Back on the Green Isle I would suggest.
