Rumour Thread

[Teflon]

Rumour as fact. BJ signed with the dons today.

P!sstake surely?

[Old Mate]

Of course it's rumour or a pisstake. BJ can't sign until the FA window and then we get the option to match the offer.

Proven as made up, you don't have mates...

Giles has turned his back on GWS over a poor contract offer, talking to saints soon

Disappointing if true. You are usually a reliable source so I'm officially worried.

IF he is leaving, we really need it to be GWS, an extra early pick is very significant.

Though I imagine BJ couldn't bare to play in a losing side for years.

My sources have confirmed the same thing. Oh well, best of luck BJ. It was nice knowing you.

At least we can all move on now.

[Royston]

Righto, a bit of info I have heard....not sure if you call it rumour, anyway a few moves in the wings.

Jarred Rivers - to Geelong
Brett Thornton - to Melbourne
Jacob Surjen (?) - to Freo
Alan Didak - to Carlton
Scott Gumbleton - to Port Adelaide (3 yr deal)
Liam Jurrah - to Geelong
Shannon Byrnes - Melbourne
Mark Seaby - to Melbourne
Rhys Stanley - to Adealaide

Now don't shoot me down, particularly with the last one. This is what I have heard, not ME making them up.
So call it rumour, speculation or whatever. The source - well someone IN the industry.

Don't want to shoot you Royston; that would be a bit drastic.

However Rhys just signed a 3 year deal and Scotty really rates him. So simply can't see that happening.

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!!

BJ is a RESTRICTED free agent! He can not sign anywhere without St Kilda having a chance to match.

The only club BJ can sign with before October 1st is St Kilda, after that he can accept offers from other clubs but can not sign until St. Kilda have the chance to match.

If BJ goes it will be St Kilda's choice because they don't want to pay overs for him!

Very magnanimous of you Doc......

I was just sharing/relaying what I have been told & I, personally wouldn't wish to lose Stanley either....

[dragit]

Shannon Byrnes - Melbourne

I reckon that one could be on the money…
Unless Geelong relocate to SA or NT, don't think Jurrah is going to them.

Pav & Pluggs are you guys serious about BJ?

Hopefully it IS true......



........and the AFL strips Essendon of all its Draft Pricks and they can't pick up Joe Daniher...




........and Michael Hurley is so disgusted by the amateurism of the Bombers that he demands a transfer to the Saints....




........and the AFL facilitates it - and chucks in Daniher for good measure

[MC Gusto]

Pav and plugger are taking the p1ss relax

[gringo]

There are overtures from Essendon for BJ so they have just tried to get people upset by calling it early. If Essendon pay him enough he will probably be there next year but nothing set in stone yet. I have actually heard that Essendon have a fairly full cap anyway. Monfries might go so free up some coin but is it enough to pay BJ $700k a year for 4 years? Jurrah will be at Port adelaide or nowhere IMO.

Pav and plugger are taking the p1ss relax

Yep it's amazing how many people get sucked in.

Embarrassing really.

[dragit]

I can cope with BJ going and potentially winning a flag with anyone except Collingwood, Carlton & Essendon.

Richmond, Freo, whoever else, I could live with… any of the other 3 would re-instigate my Luke Ball trauma, which is finally subsiding.

Why is it embarrassing? I'm not.

[mbogo]

I also heard Essendon for BJ - from a kid in a Saints jumper at the bus stop - says his dad knows someone in the club!
I said "yeah, whatever"

[Hobgoblin]

BJ will be playing in Victoria next year. Won't be staying with the saints though

Thats the most reliable source yet!.

Be good if we could grab him, what would we give up?

Thanks for that Hobgoblin… batting well so far…
