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

[coryne]

What exactly was the last rumour posted in here ???

 

[rp84]

I guess one could argue that Melbourne are so shit at recruiting that they should try offload as many picks as possible to avoid embarrassment again.

What exactly was the last rumour posted in here ???

That Dawes can play.

Come on, this is a "Rumour" thread not a "stone cold lie" thread

One last reply to you then I'm just going to completely ignore you.

Why would I be leading a lynch squad for you if you were in charge of list management and recruitment and you traded a #1 ruckman to the filth for just pick 20? It would be because of the following reasons and would be the same reasons that the filth managed to scam pick 20 out of Melbourne when he is clearly not worth what Melbourne paid for him:

1. Warnock is contracted for 3 years
2. Warnock is a required player at Carlton
3. Warnock would walk into the #1 ruck role at Wobblewood and instantly make them into premiership contenders
4. Warnock is a playing in a rare position and there arent that many pure ruckman around.

Now put that up against the fact that the filth got in Lynch as a FORWARD not as a Ruck/Forward like you seem to think. Now why was Lynch picked up as a forward (by the way... he is as shit in the ruck as Dawes is), because despite your thinking that Dawes has just had a bad year... well in a way, you are right. Dawes had a shocking year because he was over-exposed because of the double teaming on Cloke which usually left Dawes one out with his defender. He was also shown to be damn near next to useless (highlighted by his own coach laughing at him in the coaches box when that regulation chest mark bounced off his chest) because he has gone backwards. Why was he forced to play as a forward/2nd ruck? Because after Jolly, the rest of the filth rucks are useless and he was the only guy left on their list who could potentially play as a ruck without disrupting their setup.
So despite the fact that we dont trade with the filth, you would be happy to gift them with a #1 ruckman who would replace all their other dud rucks for just a single 1st round pick. You would gift them with a rare type of player that they desperately need that will make them premiership contenders next year and you are wondering why there would be a lynch mob after you.
It would be the dumbest piece of trading that the club has ever done. We dont strengthen our rivals by gifting them the missing piece to their next premiership puzzle.
Now... you have your answer to a couple of things... so piss off, I dont want to talk to you any more. That wife crack hurt a bit more than you might ever imagine.

KAPOW!

All so very true.

Albyg why would you want to make the filth that much stronger?
I see some of your points but pick 20 from the filth massive unders considering the hole they fill. To be honest it would be hard to accept a top ten pick, not that it is not overs for Warnock but .....
Pick 20 may not seem too bad but giving an arch rival a missing piece is just unacceptable to 95% of Carlton supporters.

Dramoth take it from one who has been truly scorched and seen the floor of a bottomless pit .... it takes a little time but the scars heal and you tend to find someone much better the next time round due to the experience gained.

The words may sound hollow now but they are true.

Always remember the best revenge is living well.

Keep your chin up brother

You know the trade/Free Agency period is too long when their are no new Carlton rumours.

I dont like being threatened, hence the comment. I apologise if it was hurtful.

Though I don't agree with your post.

I undeerstand what you are saying about filling a hole, however the last 3 years is telling me that he wont as he is too vulnerable to injury, and while he is worth something I would take pick 20, but alas we should move on.

Koby Stevens to decide today which club he wants to play for in 2013. Could we finally see some trade week action for the CFC?

Surely he will end up at StKilda

I'm not sure Carlton is interested.

 

[RiCHii]

I'm not sure Carlton is interested.

Haven't heard that we are, but we could add to our midfield depth and this guy can play.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Koby has no chance of ending up at Carlton.

No idea why the Bulldogs are interested either - he's the last type of player they need (he's an even worse kick than Clay Smith).

 

[Jeremias]

Haven't heard that we are, but we could add to our midfield depth and this guy can play.

I was quite interested in a Stevens a while back, and wouldn't object if we got him cheaply, but I don't believe that the club is interested. Looks like the club thinks we have better options as far as inside mids are concerned, and I agree with them.

 

[No1Suspect]

Have they got an essendum one done up yet, hope he spuds it up n looks ridiculous while doing it

 

[Stamos]

I'm not sure Carlton is interested.

I'm quite sure that we're not

 

[redhorse]

Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere. But word is you guys want Shaun McKernan and are willing to give up pick 11...​

​

Personally I believe Smack has all the attributes to be topline but his discipline is always in question. But you guys would benefit from a big forward.​

​

Would you guys be happy with this Trade?​

 

[Omega Blue]

pick 11s a bit much i'd say

 

[Silvagnis]

pick 11s a bit much i'd say

Heard a first round pick was too much for Jacobs, let alone McKernan.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

No.

Not at all

 

[albyg]

I could rebut every single one of your points albyg, but for a number of reasons I won't.

Firstly I can't be bothered.

Secondly other posters have done it for me.

If Collingwood offered pick 20 for Warnock they would be laughed at, and for very good reasons which I have previously outlined.

It really is as simple as that.

Can I ask if an All Australian ruckmen is worth pick 36 whats Warnock worth???

We could do with a experienced key forward which McKernan is not, happy to offer our 2nd rounder for him.
