The Rumour Mill

[doggies ftw]

Think we need a thread dedicated to any rumours you've heard about the club, of course 90% of them are fake but they are always good fun for a read IMO. I know some of you guys have some very good info, its time to spill the beans and share your goodness with the rest of us!

Post any rumours you hear in here - who we're interested in drafting, who were looking to trade for, who wants out of the club, whose going to be a late out/inclusion, who shagged his teammates missus, I'm talking anything. You can name (and shame) your source for extra credit if you like.

I'll try to update this post so we can see who has the good stuff and who talks shit!

To kick things off heres a little one posted on BF a few weeks back -

We're looking to trade our first pick for a KPF this year (I know, HUGE surprise...) with Sam Reid currently at the top of our hit list. This came from the same poster who said that JJ would be dropped for an off field incident, which he was that week so he at least has a little bit of credibility.

Let the bullshit... I mean fun... begin!

Sam Reid is a poor man's Liam Jones. I remember the JJ & Hunter rumour which was somewhat proven with JJ dropped and Hunter remaining in the VFL but this one sounds off the mark

I wouldn't mind us going after him, it all depends on what we'd have to give up but he would be perfect to slot in at CHF imo. Fantastic mark and a huge tank which is what we need, someone who can consistently present up the ground and take marks on the wing, allowing Jones to stay deep. They both are still largely potential, but they could possibly be an extremely good duo in the long run IMO.

Crameri & Grant should be coming up the ground. Jones is a good pack mark but we're lacking a gorilla who can win a 1 on 1 marking contest and give repeat leads. A Taylor Walker type

Come on, Jones is a plenty big enough hulk at 198/98.

So you don't think we need to get a KPF at the end of the year?

I'd look at Reid, but not with our first pick.

Mistaken. He played well against Port - saving mark in the dying minutes and is surplus to Sydney the way he is being used atm.

Have seen various internet rumours (all baseless it seems) linking us to GWS players, Patton & Jansch and also Membrey of the Swans

I can start one here. We were linked to a mid size forward at Geelong but he stayed as Pods and Chappy were shipped. If he's not getting game time, then surely he comes to us. In a tradition of amazing recruits we've got from .geelong.

I was just thinking this morning about our trading history with Geelong.
The best player in the last 15 years was actually Peter Street and we gave up pick 20 or thereabouts. We could just have gone to the draft and selected a certain Ben Hudson who went to Adelaide for 50 odd.

Think we have done better from Geelong getting retired players to help with the coaching.

Matty Robbins went alright.
