Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

[etsal1]

MS3 has heard my cries for positive news and delivered in spades. Gun.

 

[LordLucifer]

This is what I took out of my last conversation with me mate:

Carlton:
In: Boyd
Out: Pick 5/6 + Casbolt, Garlett

St Kilda
In: pick 5/6 + Casbolt
Out: pick 1

GWS
In: pick 1 & Garlett
Out: Boyd

Win win wn for all.

So we trade two players AND our first rounder to get Boyd in return ??

That's not paying overs, surely !!

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

I'd say it's win-win for Carlton & GWS. But St Kilda would be dumb enough to do that deal

Is this on the cards?

Recruiters suggesting that the top 7 picks are pretty even Estal. Essentially Saints get a key forward with a drop down in selections + stay at the top end of this draft.

4real? That is too good to be true.

Well then, after that bombshell I can't even remember that we lost by 100 points.

Does Boyd want to come?

Great deal for the Saints, they lose not much and pick up plenty.

Million dollar question.

After tonight?

Garlett is gone regardless, and to get quality you need to give something up. Again I say it's a win win for all involved. Our list management has pinpointed that we will be too top heavy with Kreuzer and Casbolt in the same side.

Would Jeffy really agree to go to GWS though?

Any chance of shipping Warnock off too?

 

[Magruder]

True. But we get the best key fwd prospect in the last 10 years. What do we lose a good draft pick, an erratic small fwd and Levi.

Would rather keep Levi than lose him, but if that's the price so be it.

I don't disagree with you about having to give something to get something.

On the surface, it looks like we are selling the farm the way that one is structured, I reckon we come out of it the worst of all three clubs actually.

I think we all need to realise as well that Levi at 24 nearly 25 might not have that much more improvement in him.

IMO he doesn't, still would have some strong interest from a club or two like the 'Dogs though.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Got to keep in mind that we gave Kennedy and pick 3 for Judd. Win win I'd say

Gotta give to get.

How likely is this? Earlier you said due to Patton's knee a Boyd trade was pretty much off the table.

I had the same argument with a St's supporter the other day and they said they wouldn't give up pick 1 for pick 6 and Cas.
I'd do it, but I think the Saint's wouldn't.
GWS would only do that if they knew Boyd was gone next year.
If that's the case, id be more than happy to wait another year and invest all our picks into best available. Take mids and possibly Jaksch and then wait the arrival of Tom next year.

Still not sure on the 3 for 1 deal though.

Suggested that it's made his decision a lot harder Estal!!!

True. My affection for Levi is not rational. Just love the big lugg.

If it meant landing T.Boyd I'd pull the trigger.

 

[etsal1]

I'm thinking of it like this.

Jeffy - we're going to lose for nothing anyway.

Pick 5 + Levi for Boyd (who has done nothing to detract from his pick 1 status) seems in our favour. Add Jeffy to it and it's pretty fair.

How's your night anyways MS3? Been up to much?

All good. Just trying to not get excited

Boyd tweeted during the game tonight. I might have told him to come and save us. Get on it everybody!
