Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 33!, 1 BIG FISH ALERT last October 4th) (7 confirmed! 11 Busted!)

[Golumless]

Tex Wanganeen's at Essendon, so I dunno who much good blood there'd be between them and Port right now.

I don't think it's bad blood per se, but Gavin Wanganeen has always seemed to regret leaving Essendon.

We have something similar with Betts, to show it's not a lol port thing.

 

[LoBu]

You know who might be a decent target in PreAgency this year is Jarrod Berry.

I can't imagine the inclusion of Ashcroft and Dunkley would help his midfield minutes.

Plus he ticks a lot of boxes. Will be 26, 192cm, fully developed, 100-125 games, can play nearly every position, Vic Country lad from Horsham (4.5 hours from Adl).

Plus I feel like Brissy's list is ripe for a good pillaging.

Does he tick the out of contract or FA box?

I heard his shoulder is real bad

Sounds like workplace harassment.
I’m more old-school, listening to ThreeD out of Stepney/St Peters.
No ads and lots of South Aussie music. I particularly recommend Rodney & Jude’s show, on Sundays from 12 to 2. Jude plays a bit of everything, alternating with Rodney placing rock, blues and great Adelaide bands like West Thebarton.
93.7 and online

The sound of muesli on Thursday morning is a cracking show.

 

[Betts are off]

He'd be a Pre-Agent.

Which is why I referred to him as a decent target in Pre-Agency

Ahh, missed that thanks. He played well last year in the finals didn't he.

Could be worth a look if we think he's better than Dowling and Brown, and if he offers something different to Berry.

Yeah he had a blinder against Melbourne in the SF.

From memory he got shifted into the guts after the Lions went a mile back and then proceeded to do a number on a historic Crow Killer Clayton Oliver, while picking a heap of the footy himself.

Not sure we have anyone on the list who could pull that off right now. We might, but no-one springs to mind.

 

[Velvet George]

Are you helping out on Survivor2?

Can you start a thread asking for help rather than posting the same thing over and over?

Already done, it’s just that some of our loyal voters haven’t found it yet, like yourself.

Not the last few years we haven't, that's for sure!

I reckon the second he heard "The Port Adelaide Way" he would have thought..."not that shit again"

 

[Trigger13]

I’ve heard from someone who is usually spot on with Port stuff that Pickett has been in constant dialogue with Chris Davies about coming to Port. Either way, it def feels like it’s either Melb, Port or (at a pinch) a WA club. Definitely not us. I’m sure the club has a lot simmering away behind the scenes. I suddenly have faith in the brains trust at the AFC to nail the recruiting of free agents/established players over the next 2 years or so.

Imagine voluntarily talking to Davies

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

More likely Cripps who isn't a complete tosser.

I added the Pickett rumour to the threadmarks I hope everyone enjoys the title

Why does Pickett have a donkey?

 

[Apsaalooke]

Why does Pickett have a donkey?

Is he a Democrat?

 

[Frothiewalker]

For what it's worth, I know Kossie's dad well. 100 percent off to Port.

Melbourne are going to love that..all port 'currently' have to trade is an F1 unless they can gain extra draft capital by trading out players

Hard to see how they get it done with no first round picks..

Georglaidies wont get them one unless he has a massive year.. he was dropped in and out if the side last season.. thats not first round pick value.

They have to put a Butters type player up for trade.

The Dees will be asking a shitload for Pickett. And port have spent all their capital on JHF last year.

Can they even trade that F1?

You have to use 2 in 4 years dont you?..

They’ve used last years and this years..

Dont they need to take the next two to the draft?..

The rules are so grey its bloody hard to know..

Well if we finish below port this year, we have to let pickett know we will take him in the psd should a deal not get done with port and he wants to try that path. That pathway needs to be completely shut off to port so they are forced to stump up

Port always get it done though and the other clubs always seem to accomodate them for some reason

West coast will finish below both us and port..

They’ll grab him in an instant.

Yep..its not out of the realms that they engineer a 3 way trade where a player like duursma and ports F1 go to a side with a back ended top 10 pick which then goes to melbourne and pickett ends up at port
