Rumour Bluemour Discussion thread - The sequel - I know what SOS did last Sumner

[BringBackSimmo]

100% brown & gold in 2017 then........

As long as its not Richmond.

 

[RoyalParade]

Byrne off his ACL, Tuohy seemingly out the door, there's a spot there.

And simmo close to retirement?

 

[Sheephead]

Fyfe - keen on a move to Melbourne, reportedly had/having issues with teammates who may lack the professionalism he has, sees the window closing once Sanderlands retires, did I mention he's keen on a move to Melbourne!

Judd can be a great salesman!!!

Money no object and Freo will not match, Fyfe not a gold digger but he knows his 'brand' will be off the charts if he gets to Melbourne...

Blues want him which usually ends up in one result!!

Read somewhere, earlier today and buggered if I can find it, he visited 3/4 clubs in Vic and was very impressed with our setup.

Wild idea, but I could see us going hard at Fyfe, next week. If we could flip 5 and 2017 2nd for the GWS 5 and 15/16 we may just be able to swing it. Fyfe for 15/16 if he requests a trade to us is doable. Better than ADE got for Danger. Freo can then trade one of those for McCarthy and keep 3. (40 is their next pick otherwise which ain't gunna get it done)

Then, I'd throw Tuohy and 24 at Swans for Mitchell and 36. Apparently we are very keen on him still.

Cripps/Fyfe/Mitchell/Murphy/Gibbs - Game over.

 

[Jabba73]

Cat is offIcially out of the bag. Adam Kennedy aye?

Do we need anymore HBFs though?

We are going to build a team of 1 ruck, Casboult at FF and 20 defenders. We are hoping Cas can kick enough points to keep us in games.

Patience, it's FA where we should strike - bugger giving up picks when a free pass is just around the corner.

 

[Nori]

the indigneous will be referring to pickett.

Ahern isnt left field at all.

Pretty left field to recruit a player that will be out of the game for the next 12 months. Anyway, whatever. It's all speculation.

 

[ferrisb]

Maybe it is "short man syndrome".

Bolts has to have the tallest team in the AFL??

No wonder Army hadn't had his contract renewed.

According to the rumours, by the end of trade week, 1/4 of our list will be CHBs...

[CFC_#17]

So what I'm reading the 5 for pick 5 are Marchbank, McKenna, Pickett, A. Kennedy and Stewart. And they were drafted at 6, 23, 4, pre draft and 27.

 

[HBF]

Reckon we could handball them Thomas ?

Wouldn't that be nice.

Fyfe & Cripps motoring from the circle is too delicious to contemplate - consequently..........no.........

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Fyfe for 15/16 if he requests a trade to us is doable.

This board is hilarious. Casboult for a first rounder. Fyfe only worth 15 or 16, and Gibbs worth 2016 and 2017 first rounders + gun up-and-coming kid.

 

[ferrisb]

To be fair, you need to rotate players through CHB. Most of the time, that's where the ball is...

 

[Sheephead]

I meant 15 and 16.

Fail to see the connection you are floating - Carlton players/where the ball is?

Doesn't matter where they were drafted none have fired a shot, what was Matthew Watson worth 3 years after he was drafted, not convinced half these guys won't be delisted free agents.

 

[Smegger]

Fair point, what happens if GWS doesn't/can't trade some of these guys, the elevator is kinda squeezy. Marchbank would be the exception, think GWS would very much have liked to keep him.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

We should all pinky swear that at completion of the trade period, WHATEVER HAPPENS, none of us say "Bryce Gibbs" or "trade" or "Adelaide" in the same sentence for at least twelve months....

Carlton gun Bryce Gibbs reaffirms his desire to remain a one club player and resist all temptations of a trade back home to Adelaide....












*provided that's ok with SOS

 

[bad setanta]

Patience, it's FA where we should strike - bugger giving up picks when a free pass is just around the corner.

Absolutely, he is a free agent next year isn't he. Restricted FA ? We could even see how he goes this as regards the back injury. If he looks good pounce, would be a huge leg up cost us nothing apart from salary, and Freo would hopefully be happy with the compo... likely early 1st round

Ok. I'm reading a lot of list management type hypotheticals on this thread and wondering why some of my posts that stray slightly get relocated!! Anyway I will have a go! Someone mentioned a package of Hawks players a couple of dozen posts ago for pick 5. While I am all for us keeping pick 5, it got me thinking as it's all been GWS package talk re pick 5. IF we were to give pick 5 up would SOS be thinking of perhaps sending it to Hawks for a Breust, Sicily, Brand and Schoenmakers (as suggested earlier) package. We could send pick 23 to GWS for Marchbank alone or even inclusive of Stewart and effectively onsend Brand or one of our previously mentioned "lesser-likes"? i.e. 5,23 out and Marchbank, Breust, Sicily (all first 22 players) and Brand, Schoenmakers (definite possible first 22 players - as likely as the regularly mentioned GWS extras anyway.) Again I'd prefer to go to the draft with pick 5 but if SOS is keen to offload it for a bundle perhaps we would be better off in this scenario than the GWS 3,4,5?... packages. Just a thought. Anyone?

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

This article referenced says we enquired about one Kennedy. Then b70 clarifies it was the other one.

I don't take this as he's the "5th player". Just that we asked for a Kennedy and were rebuked.

We simply have to get a decent mid out of this deal. And a late first rounder also.

 

[SBYM]

For about a week, instead of just Like, there were four or five other post-rating-buttons...

The only one I can remember for sure was Dislike...but they were there. I remember posting about them, just tried to find it...no good. They were little emoticons attached to each post and they would tally how many of each one you received.

Anyone? Little help? It was probably five years ago, give or take...

EDIT; it was around the time BF upgraded, whenever that was. I seem to remember one looked like a spanner or something??

I don't rate Sicily as a player or a human.

How about as an island pivotal to the spread of civilisation throughout the Mediterranean?
