Rumour Rumours & Confirmed Trades - #whispers - **NO DISCUSSION**

[flyingmagic]

We have all been there - scrolling through 10-20+ pages of the trade thread just so that we don't miss anything juicy. The idea of this thread is to be a quick snapshot of any rumours that are floating around and to be an easy reference (also helpful when looking back). Will try to keep it up to date and also add any links to tweets, saintsational posts and other journo comments that seem reputable (and will be moderated accordingly).

Please note, no discussion about the rumour will take place in here. Instead we have the Trade Thread.

Links to tweets, reporters and articles will be welcome, although we will try to stick to the more reputable sources. Try to use the #Whispers hashtag to alert posters to its presence.

This way we maintain a nice clean thread with nothing but rumours and confirmed trades.

For any discussion please post it in the trade thread:

List Mgmt. - 2020 Trade Thread - Part II

Degoey gets himself in the same shape as Petracca, you’ve got an Elite midfielder with all the tools.. Sliding doors moment for the Saints, Martin was available 7 years ago and we didn’t bite. I say we take a chance this time and back our club in. I agree John, I often think of that Dusty...

Caldwell done.

Very good source. Watch the news closely tomorrow

Didn’t realise that flamingo had already posted something similar in here re: tomorrow, just finished work and have only been on here in spurts the last week or 2.
Can confirm we won’t be bringing in 5 or 6 players like last year, but we’re set to be fairly active.

If we sign Mihocek....

Battle will play permanently forward is my understanding

Not mumblings we are seriously keen.

I just don’t know if Collingwood let him slip.

The dream is over

[flyingmagic]

Everyone please shut up.

Tom Morris says we are still confident.


Gday Tom! Is Caldwell a lock for Essendon?
Answer:
Don't think so. St Kilda still confident and GWS still believe they can keep him.

Looks like we’ve got our own trade “whisperer”

Norf have offered my boy Jakey Carlisle a 3 year deal. We currently have only offered 1.
Plenty to play out, Norf interest should become public knowledge soon...

Some mail from a reliable source;
Dunstan most likely gone
Ross is a good chance to go as well.
However I’ve also heard that some board members were looking to stretch the salary cap next year - indication of a big fish?
That’s all I’ve got.

#Whispers

 

[flyingmagic]

I’ve heard Sebby Ross to Carlton actually.


Does that match what you got told?

From the Bulldogs board

We have met with Hannan and Webster both will be with us next year ......

#Whispers

 

[flyingmagic]

If you're not a fan of Treloar in RW&B next year, It's probably time to start warming to the idea..

#Whispers

 

[flyingmagic]

Word is Carlisle had been offered 3 years by both North and Hawthorn, we have offered one.
Apparently Bytel and Paton done.

Nothing earth shattering but been told from my mate in the media that we like Narkle.
Always liked him and he wants to move to Melbourne.
He has a minor knee issue and as Jimmy Bartel told him that he has about 7 or 8 years of footy left in his knee.

Also coming from a family member of Ben King

that just have to be patient but he will be at the saints but not yet.
We have our sights on a big fish but he wouldn't tell me who.

#Whispers

 

[flyingmagic]

Whether true or not, thoughts? Not quite big fish to me!

Feel dirty posting this as UK St Kilda Fans is the biggest shill ever. But oh well. Still a rumour.

#Whispers

 

[flyingmagic]

Mihocek? and maybe Mc Kernan?

One out 2 out bad ........McKernan wasn’t mentioned someone out West was

This guy is followed by Tigers official club twitter a/c. Upgrade on Lonie and plays similar to Gresh. Do we have a role for him though?

Treloar still keen on the saints. And the feelings are mutual. As I said the other week, pies will be paying a portion of his contract to facilitate a trade. He has no interest at all in going to Essendon.

And just another bit of info I heard, An Essendon board member who owns A-mart furniture has managed to get Caldwells dad a sales job for the company for $200k a year. Obviously outside the salary cap.The money you offered him was around the exact same as what they have offered before the board member got involved. They then convince him to sign and go to the media celebrating how they’ve returned as a destination club and how a player took less to play at Essendon. Absolute grubs.

Jakey and north are close to finalising a deal. Longer terms a big factor.
Can also rule out any chance of Jesse Hogan
