Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

[Mutineer]

All those players have outstanding physical/athletic traits which compensate for their size.

I've already said that I wouldn't be opposed to drafting Howes, but I would be slightly concerned having three forwards that are pretty much the same size, especially when forwards and defenders seem to be getting bigger.

So you've never seen Howes play? Right?

If you had you would know he's athletically/physically sound.

Thilthorpe?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Fingers crossed. The good news is we'd absolutely have the money to pay him.

ETA: are we certain Keane is still a rookie? We extended him after the Showdown.

Think he is on the main list now.

Vader can probably confirm.

I'm not sure what we're arguing about. I've already said I'd be OK with us taking him, just that I think our list has bigger needs.

You do realise we're talking the MSD and players that have been overlooked previously, some multiple times, at least both Howes and Rypstra were overlooked because of their injuries at the time or injury history at the time.

Yes, I'm quite aware. I really don't think we're disagreeing about anything!

 

[Vader]

Vader can probably confirm.

No, still on the rookie list - along with Hamill, Parnell, and Borlase.

Every player in the MSD has already been overlooked at least 4x - National Draft, Pre-Season Draft, Rookie Draft, Pre-Season Supplementary Period.

... and that's just the players who became eligible for drafting in 2023. Anyone who is older will have been overlooked many, many, more times.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No, still on the rookie list - along with Hamill, Parnell, and Borlase.

Thanks.

We won't have a shortage of spots to upgrade him to the main list next trade period.

 

[Crow till I die]

Shame if its true and we lose him as i think an axis of Keane and Murray as our key defensive posts would have loiked very good for years to come. Add Worrell as the 3rd man intercept and thats a quality defence.along with max

Didn’t we only just announce an extension to Keane’s contract a few weeks ago? Seems a weird rumour so close to that

We extended him after the second Showdown last year.

10 months ago

Only thinking out loud here so again, could be wrong. We can only extend a rookie contract as he isnt on the main list. I imagine there is an out clause if he gets offered a main spot. Which again, would effectively make him a free agent I presume

 

[BACCS]

Ah fair, I would think given his form this year we would naturally be looking to extend before 2025.

 

[GreyCrow]

Surely not

On SM-S901E using BigFooty.com mobile app

1st rounder or GTFO

 

[BunjiMC]

Trade Keane for John Nobel?

1st rounder or GTFO

I'd go Keane and Melbournes second/or our third for their first

Of course that means Hamish has two firsts and that is totally un****ingacceptable

I wouldn’t. He is contracted - their 1st will be fine - which will likely be 16-22 anyway. Not exactly a sure thing

How have we not approached Dustin Martin? It currently seems like he hates Richmond as much as us.

 

[FR0GGY]

Trade Keane for John Nobel?

Wouldn’t that be a prize!

GC or retirement, I’m guessing

No. A playing contract is a playing contract. There is nothing to stop us from signing him to a multi-year contract, where he is on the rookie list in the 1st year of the contract, and the senior list for subsequent years. We've done it before.

 

[CryptoCrow]

Yep, surely someone at the club has to ask the question, Hamish why didn’t we just ******* draft him, would have been a lot easier and cheaper!!

I agree but I seriously doubt we could have developed him into a good player. I think tilthorpe would be better if he was drafted by another club
