Bluemour Discussion Thread VI (cont. in Part VII)

[Betty_Blue76]

If your confident as to what you have posted, no need wander off

Don’t like conflict. Get enough off it in my line of work. After 60 hours a week egos and chips on shoulders just don’t do it for me. I got so stressed I had a heart attack at 32. Then discovered meditation and now I only do conflict if absolutely necessary

Very confident on the info. Just don’t need the abuse

I need to meditate to keep moderating. Time for a quick body scan.

No need to get stressed, passion takes many forms here.

If your information stands up, your next rumours will be viewed differently, otherwise I sure you will consider the alternative

Yes but the process wasn't entirely dependent on the playing group as it was when Murphy got the job. I'm not sure Bolts would go along with it if the players chose Daisy or Kedge for captain for example. He is still going to look for those that will play every game, set high standards on field and off field and have good communication skills.

He's still going to want the players input though, along with all the coaching staff. I just can't imagine any decision would be made this far out, especially when there is an excellent alternative in Cripps.

Sitting in 21 degree air con here. Enjoying it until the power bill comes . Need sleep - must wake up for iPhone release to find out how much I am being milked for a new phone. Will post future rumours on the rumours and scandal board. I don’t like conflict. Life is too short!

I'd read somewhere roughly $1000USD. Not sure local pricing. Surely free on a $100 contract?

 

[katmanblue]

Is this dump plausible?

Yes.

Would I bet on it?

No.

I dont know a $10 multi on that might do very well. Can you bet on trades?

How about the fact that nobody wanted him last year?

People thought they could get him for free this year? He's humbled himself this year? People change, perceptions change.

If we lose Gibbs, it's clear the club want a ready-made mature replacement. We saw this last year. Rockliff fits the bill.

Market value for Rockliff: 700k pa

What do we have an excess of? Cap space

Would we spend an extra 600k over 3 years to facilitate a trade in our favour (i.e. use cap space as a commodity)? Of course we would. SOS has done this in 2015 and 16.

I'm not saying it's going to happen but logical analysis says it's a highly plausible scenario.

 

[RudyBlue]

There is a big difference between possible and probable. While the rumours are interestingly possible, I doubt they are probable

This vitriol towards plausible scenarios really gives me the shits.

 

[zeeCFC]

It's a doozy of a rumour but very clever. The Trengrove thing the only hiccup but even if it was fake I'd send it to SOS as a blueprint.

Would Crows take 10 and steak knives?
Would Kelly join us?

The Rockliff offer would be a great bargaining chip but not sure what the AFL would think... considering we're Carlton they'll find a way to block it.

Or ppl really just need to calm down. It's information on PROPOSED trade scenarios, in a rumour thread no less.!

I agree, if a rumour is plausible, it should be given some credence to discuss it civilly. Nothing in that rumour is outlandish

 

[SafeAsMilk]

Now THAT'S a rumour!

But I have to admit, even a 70/30 likelihood of all those moving parts is optimistic at this stage.

I don't know how I feel about the info tbh. If it's legit I'm a little worried about having this level of detail leaked to us. As much as I appreciate it and as intriguing as it is I'd be quite happy with just the players' names that we are targeting if it's from a strong, reliable source. Maybe this is too much information for our tiny brains to handle.

Cheers Betty_Blue76

 

[zeeCFC]

If the trades go through exactly as posted how exactly do we show our gratitude for the juicy bluemour fruit? I say we sacrifice thylacine

 

[Blue Viking]

Hope GWS bids on him ... would be interesting if a kid REFUSED to go to where he was drafted. Interesting conundrum for the AFL.

Heeney did this, he was a talented cricketer and made it clear that it was Swans or was going to play cricket and not AFL. The darlings then got their man.

Definitely fried some brains tonight.

Sometimes I feel like clubs leak rumours to see how the fans would take to it.

I know for a fact other club boards have been fed draft and trade strategies on hidden forums in the past.

cmon arrow. The whole lot is totally implausible. The OP is rightfully having a good ol chortle at his handiwork right about now.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Wasn't he an academy player? Swans were always going to get him.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

you might be a bit slow but some here would suggest you're worth a second round pick..........

Only if we he can rotate through the midfield....

 

[Weiterbot23]

Wow huge rumour, all very plausible.

If true the club would be mortified of its appearance on bigfooty.

If SOS pulled all that off I'd be very very pleased.

 

[Cliffords Blues]

Unrealistic crap like that is not what anyone is asking for.

Settle down before you blow a gasket.

Why don't you settle down mate.
We get some actual news to discuss and you go BANG!
If you don't like what he is saying, then ignore it.
Christ, what B70 and MS3 must have went through in the early days, now everyone takes what they post as gospel.

To be honest, who gives a sh@t if what he is saying is not accurate.....but what if it is?
I personally would hate to be the guy that stops others from potentially posting what they had heard for fear of being shut down.
You made your point, you don't believe him, so quit it so the rest who want to discuss can do so.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Was thinking the same,

 

[Cliffords Blues]

How about the fact that nobody wanted him last year?

No one wanted his reported price tag to take him off Brisbane books.
Don't leave the important part out lol

 

[Boltfromtheblue]

Can someone open a window?

It's hot in here.

TA

It's the smell of stale farts that I'm more worried about!

 

[Dramoth]

Perhaps practice your comprehension skills.

Re-read the post slowly. Your summary and price for Schache is simply wrong.

Don’t know who the four clubs are with Jones. But he is very well liked and his turn around is a stunning example both internally and externally. Culture makes him untouchable

The club would trade Jones if an offer came in that matched our evaluation of him... which is basically overs. His turn around as a defender this year has put him on the radar of a number of clubs who are interested in Lever and need a potential backup plan!

 

[ShanDog]

Quite the planned trade period.

What I'd like to know is how that was all taken down with pad and paper without the source noticing...
