Franklin Rumour

He was very good, wasn't he? He's very young, though, and I do think they'd still look for a top flight ruckman as their first ruck if they believe they're still in the mix to compete next year (which I am sure they will believe).I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

I hope it's not true. I don't think that it's true but I heard it. It's more that Mumford is apparently gone next year.Comment

Franklin accepts the Swans offer!! GWS just tweeted that they have withdrawn their offer as Franklin has accepted the Swans offer!
Now how funny is this thread?

How many posts ? 93 , or 94 ? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But anyway , well done to Mighty Bloods for raising this whole issue back in July. He's the Damian Barrett of RWO!

lol - isn't it a bit early for silly season?
While it would be nice to think of a forward line containing Franklin, Tippett, Goodes, Reid, McGlynn and Rohan, I think this will need a lot of luck to get over the line.
Though the outcry would be HILARIOUS to behold.
Couldn't have predicted it better myself.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Thank you Swansinger...but please not Damien Barrett...I'd prefer Mike Sheahan...and I have another scoop in the winds!Comment

Just assuage our concerns , will you ? The imminent scoop will not contain the words "police" , "investigating" , "nightclub" , "King's Cross" and "Franklin" , will it ?! :-)Comment

ok, here it is but it shouldn't be a great surprise.
GWS have thrown big money at Dale Thomas in the last few days to try and change his mind to go to Carlton. Steve Silvagni had a coffee with him at the Paragon Cafe in Rathdown St Carlton last week. Carlton expected Thomas to say yes on Thursday so that they could lodge the papers to the AFL on the Friday (just gone). Thomas is stewing over the decision this weekend and his mates(Malthouse and Swann) have almost been living with him over the past 24 hours. to ensure he still goes to Carlton.
On Friday he was likely to go to GWS...now, well I think his strong relationships at Carlton will still get him there.
GWS are going hard at some players behing the scenes.Comment

Thank God you weren't arrested or at least had a very good lawyer to get you out quickly.
No doubt there won't be a squeak from anyone in Melbourne complaining that Thomas didn't go to GWS either.
Any news on which players?
Should package Benny with White to the Dogs for their first pick or even Collingwood for their first.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

It would be great if Daisy accepted a $700k/annum + 10% COLA deal with GWS, saying the extra cash put him over the line.
"You can find a pretty cheap pad in Blacktown and I can use to extra cash to hangout with Buddy," Thomas said.
Might be just enough for Eddie and Mick to kiss and make up.Comment
