Bluemour Discussion Thread XIV - Facts Not Welcome

[Aphrodite]

Is Carlton working on something big?
Damian Barrett is perhaps the best footy journalist in the country and his Sliding Doorscolumn is always full of nuggets. Today, he gave Blues fans reason to think their club is working on something huge.

Who writes this garbage WTF!

 

[IronMan29]

Not that EP needs confirmation but Setters trade is done. In other news, Essendon have only offered pick 9 so far...

And we slide in with next years first Bradbury style lol

so pick 43 has apparently gone for setterfield trade. That would leave us with pick 1, 69, 77, 95 etc

Imo increased likelihood that we will look to trade out future 1st if possible to rebuild our draft position this year.

Maybe we could package up 69, 77 and 95 and for pick 68.

 

[Waite_30]

So could this deal fall over ?

Doubtful but would love to see it fall through

 

[Siegfried]

Given the Setterfield deal, as it currently stands, leaves us with...

2018 - 1, 69 and whatever comes after that
2019 - First round, 2 x third round, fourth round, sixth round

Not coming to Carlton

Damn.

 

[Faz 2000]

I don't care if they take one of those guys off Geelong or Adelaide.

Wouldn't that be a perfectly AFL farce, though?

Like giving GC, who finished above Carlton, great compo because in-part because of what was GOING to happen in this year's FA/Trade period (Lynch, etc).

AFL is in the prediction and prospecting business, so why not the re-writing history business too?

Only if offer super duper. I am quite content if our draft haul is Walsh, a mature ager and Ben Silvagni.
Setterfield, McGovern , Fasolo and some other free agent in player movement time. If Gold Coast want to come hard at us for pick 1 and next years first rounder for 2, 3 and another good pick, you would look at it. But the offer has to come and be super to be looked at.

We don't need to, we've brought in enough to have a light draft. Imo we don't need anything after pick 1, given what we've got for our picks so far.

He can then stay at GWS or go the Hawks. I don't want him at the Blues.

 

[bmaurizio]

We now can't trade our future first unless we get a future first or second in return. Makes things tricker.

I suspect we are done.

Can be structure in the deal very easily we're trading 2 very high premium picks, so a mid 1st or 2nd rounder can be factored in the trade easily.

Ep hinted our future 1st may be in play

 

[CFC18]

So equivalent of around pick 12/13 for Setterfield. Awesome.

 

[bmaurizio]

Thanks for the Setterfield trade details EP, much appreciated

 

[Arr0w]

True, but given we had FREE assistance, it only cost us our own 2nd rounder

 

[HARKER]

Just another typical training session for Liberatore & Hannebery

 

[harrisendblue]

So could this deal fall over ?

One can only hope and dream - Shiel stays at GWS and we pick up ……… and with Dodoro seen trawling the remaining free agents.

 

[Zlatan]

Given we were prepared to forgo the two second rounders, why did Shane McAdam need to be thrown in? We sure could have used his type.

Two second rounders should have got it done by themselves.

So your only beef with this trade period is we didn't keep McAdam since you understand the 2 second rounders had to be given up for McGovern?

 

[skadoosh]

I think the main disappointment is that the club came out publically and said we needed mature midfielders. Was Shiel our only plan? We didn't get him, were we looking at anyone else? Cripps said he wanted mature bodies around him...as per EP's post it's looking like a quiet period once we get Setterfield. So clubs goal = not achieved?

Folks need to realise we courted contracted players, not uncontracted players.

Probably less competition in luring contracted players, but inevitably pay more in terms of a trade.

The main advantage, still both young

All that does is put us in an even worse position next year, with ~40, 48, 58 and 94.

Reckon we call it a day after this - unless we take a punt on Libba.

Gov, Setters, Fas, Walsh, BSOS, 2x mature agers (1 as a rookie), 18yo rookie.

Consolidate for next year, 7+ wins, go hard at free agency and elite mids next year with stronger credentials. 2019 and 2020 firsts on the table.

 

[RoyalParade]

EP mentioned he likes to drink.

What the bet he's sitting back now having a few Friday knock offs, whilst going bang bang bang and giggling his mother****ing arse off!!!???!

Did they?

Only said players 23-27 I thought?
