Bluemour Discussion Thread III

Hasn't he busted at Hawthorn?

Hasn't he busted at Hawthorn?

Looks like it but he was a first round GWS selection!!

Won't the media trolls love that!!

 

[Mezzoculo]

Wanna be careful with regards to draft tampering with letting academy players slide. Not sure I want o'rourke. Seems like a bust (in a team who is screaming our for talent mids with a change of the guard).

Seems incredibly risky. And for O'Rourke? Seems incredibly unlikely.

 

[The Smoking Gun]

The AFL also said priority picks will be handed out only in exceptional circumstances, taking in a wide variety of situations that cannot be neatly codified in statistics like wins and losses. In other words, context.

We don't deserve a priority pick nor would we get one. End. Of. Story

Percentage would be a better guide.

Lol this thread is like read socialists vs capitalists.

Socialists: we're poor and need help
Capitalists: We put ourselves here and need to work our way out.

Stop stating facts....this is a rumour thread ffs.

 

[HBF]

Would love Hodge at the club. Proven winning, great football brain and been a part of a seriously professional culture. Exactly what we need.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

[HARKER]

Hodge at the CFC?

Hearing his name attached to ours quite a bit. Maybe there is something in it....maybe just wishful thinking.

 

[Jimmae]

As a DFA? I still think it might be someone else, like Hartung, but O'Rourke as a DFA if he's fit isn't a bad move.

 

[No1Suspect]

Wouldnt imagine Orourke would give us any more than smedts....

 

[LanceRomance]

From the Saints board earlier today. Comment made in reference to our trade with Hawks last season...

I don't under this at all

O'Rourke plays for hawks?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Long as we don't waste the coveted Priority Pick.

Did he support us as a kid?

How exactly would have GWS allowed us to get to Macreadie?
The intent may have been there but what if someone bid on him before the pick #47? What then?

We may know how things may pan out running into the teens but not getting into the late 40's. Not buying that one.

He's reportedly already had a lot to do with both of the SOSOS's.

Was thinking the same thing... Pick 47 is tres late

No, nothing to do with dfa. Was commenting on the notion that Carlton would've risked a charge of draft tampering - especially for a player like O'Rourke.

Jack has kids?!

[runs outside to check the cityscape, runs to the nearest person he can find]

ME: What's the date?!

THEM: April 23rd

ME: WHAT YEAR?!

THEM: 2017

ME: Oh. Ohhhhhhhhh.

They might have been against including O'Rourke in the trade last year as they wanted to give him one more try?

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

GWS let us have Macreadie (a pick in the 40's)

We helped Hawthorn get O'Meara

They will in turn help us get O'Rourke 12 months later (what if he had a ripper year?)

What did GWS get out of this?

Hmmmmm....

 

[HARKER]

O'Rourke? We'll get to GWS's high end picks one way or another.

Third party involvement is fine.

 

[Mezzoculo]

Sure, that's a feasible scenario. But I just can't see why Carlton would go to all that effort to 'lock away' an inexperienced, injury prone, borderline best 22 player that may end up delisted at the end of 2017. Risk vs reward and all that.

I struggle to see it too Salt Lake.

But... did GWS get the Palmer salary dump out of it?

Yeah doesn't sound quite right to me. Not sure JOR has anything to really offer us.

They will get a third round pick for Hopper and Kennedy.

Yeah I suppose that's possible.

Lots of hands in lots of pies, lots of collusion as well.

The AFL like that sort of stuff though, we might be rewarded with 5 priority picks...

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

They will get a third round pick for Hopper and Kennedy.

And they'll bloody well like it.

 

[tarczonandjane]

I didn't see the draft, but wasn't it the case that Bolton looked surprised when SOS wanted Macreadie? If so, then Bolton wasn't across the whole "deal".
