Bluemour Discussion Thread IV

[Unknown Origin]

I guess they are your thoughts and your welcome to them!
What is simple is your analysis and it has nothing to do with ex-blues son.
I could name another couple who I feel are hard done by and they aren't ex-blues sons.
Dylan would perform better than Daisy and 1 or 2 others however.......

Thankful you are not the list manager. Dylan has had plenty of chances and doesn't cut the mustard.

The article says Kelly, Devon Smith and Trengrove.

Trengrove is a RFA and Port have a tight cap. Blues claim to have room for a few gun players.

Trengrove coming = Levi gone for sure. Also means no compo for him. A great get though. I approve.

Also said we expect Gibbs to stay. Makes sense given he is not getting paid much at the back end.

Cheers for that. Prefer Levi over Trengrove personally.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Do not take any notice of guys like Sam Maclure.

They make it up as they go.



Repeat this to yourselves 100 times and make it sink in.

We are battling to avoid another spoon with 3 weeks left in our season. Then a 5 week hiatus before the silly season starts in earnest.

If someone tells me Batman is coming to play for Carlton, I'm going to listen ... #bluemour

Really? Trengrove is a gun.

Edit: maybe not

You absolutely get McVeigh in. Dir. He is not coming in as a marque player. He is coming in a similar vein to ASOS. So the youngns can be around him and watch him froth at the mouth when SPS or fisher gets king hit - and he rushes in and bites chunks of opposition person off. Walk taller. See what his approach is to training and preparation - what expectations he has and how these are enforced by peers- how he judges and expects to be judged. Intangibles. Toughness. Leadership. Not possession and efficiency stats. No imagination people. Having said all of that - we probably don't get him...

He'd also bring some very handy IP from the Swans as well.

lol. Yeah i get it.

Oh, and i'll be looking for the "Batman to Carlton " mention in McClure's next article. It won't be out of place.

rumour: Dylan Buckley has been activity looking for another team.
unhappy with lack of opportunity and most likely gone at end of year.

Won't be a huge loss IMO.
Just doesn't have it to make it at AFL level.

Not just that, he's genuinely the most underrated player of the last ten, fifteen years.

He's quietly gone about it behind the likes of Kennedy, Hannebury, Parker, Mitchell, getting contested ball and getting on the chain. He's a genuinely classy midfielder, but he's not the sort that gets tagged because he quietly goes about gathering about 25 disposals with around a third to half contested.

He's not going to win you games by himself, but he'd improve the quality of our midfield disposal significantly, as well as the intangibles you mention.

He'd be a huge get. I've wanted him in blue for years.

I think Trengrove is a solid option, if we lose Casboult.

Jimmae will lose his S&*^ if that rumour comes to fruition

Batman does play for Carlton

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Batman does play for Carlton

What number?

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Really? Trengrove is a gun.

Jackson Trengove is a dour defender and pinch hitting ruck at best.

Must.... Not..... Bite.... Ahhhh **** it!

I've been watching Dylan's disposal skills over the journey and I would say he's been actively seeking out other teams for years....

You're a bad man.

Do you see him as a reasonable replacement, if we lose Casboult to play a forward/ruck option?

14

 

[teagueyubeauty]

at least until he gets you to the other side.

Woah oh woah oooooh.....woah oh woah ooooh ohhhhhhhh

Good song for a team huddle post a win!!

A mates last name is Derriman, golf trip preso's go off when he wins a prize!!

To be fair he's a Carlton supporter so maybe he has some idea what is going on down there.

The thing with those sort of articles is that they could very well be true but things change as the months go on.

A lot different to a muppet like Barrett acting like he knows what a bunch of blokes think about their captain.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

We know SOS rates Perryman, bid on him before SPS.

Definitely would have to be on 1 year performance based deals though.

That was Setterfield

Makes you wonder what we'd take into the draft if Gibbs stays and we get Kelly and Trengove.

Is Trengove worth pick 37? That's the compensation pick we're looking at for Casboult.

I'd say no, not for a filler.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Jackson Trengove is a dour defender and pinch hitting ruck at best.

He has been a ruck forward for much of the season. Definitely a tall utility/swingman. Gets more of the ball than Levi, moves better than Levi, more hitouts than Levi.

I'm not ragging on Levi here, just reacting to an article.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Probably a better ruckman, not as strong a mark, goal kicking on par.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Trengrove won't cost us anything but salary and loss of Levi compo. We don't have a second rounder though so our first pick will be in the 30s.

Port supporters would rather John Butcher in the forward line than Trengove.
