Bluemour Discussion Thread VII (cont. in pt VIII)

[Aphrodite]

We’ve been linked to the following through the press and our insiders for this draft period: Kennedy, Scully, Kelly, Saad, Smith, Shache, Lang, trade of 3 for 7&8, Cameron, Gibbs for 10 & 16.

This has raised (almost) everyone’s expectations for this period. When only 1 or 2 trades get done, there’s going to be some over the top reactions.

Rumours are just that - rumours.

Same goes for hypotheticals.

 

[HaydossJ]

No implosion at all, if we can accomplish both trades of Kennedy and Lang in for very little , whilst retaining Bryce Gibbs that's a big win for CFC.
Two quality young mids and a third , Adam Cerra pick 3 , and we've bolstered our midfield very well, mission accomplished.
Go Baggers

Agree mate. Some of our supporters don't realise how valuable adding 3 young midfielders into our rotation will be.

Cripps, Gibbs, Murphy, Curnow, Kennedy, Petrevski-Seton, Lang, Cunningham. That is a very very good 8-man midfield rotation before adding Cerra/Dow/LDU/Rayner.

 

[Aphrodite]

So envious of the Filths acquisitions during this trade period.

Nah to be fair it was obvious they were dreams to begin with ..

Let's try and take this seriously for a second:

Hawks have 44, 68 & 81

We have 3, 40 & 58 & 77

I thought the Hawks have a pick about 6 spots before our pick at 40?
If so we maybe speculating doing a trade to move up in that stage of draft and move our 58th back a little.
Then trade the pick in 30's for Kennedy to get deal over the line.

EDIT: Forgot what I said, I now see Hawks already traded that pick for Impey.

Tom Browne tweeted saying we're looking at a pick swap with Dorks today.

Excellent. Ta, so Hawks already traded the pick they had in 30's for Impey.

 

[ferrisb]

Is that his Goddard impersonation?

 

[I bleed Blue]

SEN reporting Gibbs to Adelaide for 10 and 16 is on the cards.

Is that his Goddard impersonation?

Sure is.

 

[carlton09]

Been told Lang has nominated us.

Brian Waldron.

Seems a bit Dougish to me.

 

[footyfan1978]

Brian Waldron.

So no then.

 

[Coona Blues]

Get ready for the implosion on this board when only Kennedy and Lang (maybe) arrive. It’s going to be a disaster.

If that is the case then posters should be ashamed of themselves.
We have had two A+ trading/drafting periods, with some superb young players developing.
We are devoid of mid range trade bait, tying our hands. Lost our 2nd this year bringing in multiple
players.
Next year's super draft also (combined with up to 3 father/sons) ties hands from using future picks.
Our greatest short term need is for a (semi) mature "partner" for Cripps to avoid burn out.
Kennedy does this, and Lang should be an upgrade on both Graham and Boekhorst in their roles.

 

[BluesRule]

Been told Lang has nominated us.

So our 2018 second round pick (#19-25) to GWS for Kennedy and GWS 2018 second round pick (#33-36).
Our 2018 3rd round pick (#37-43) to Geelong for Lang

Sound fair? Or do we really need next years third round for Father/sons so better to use #40?

Carlton has approached Adelaide to get the wheels moving on a trade involving midfielder Bryce Gibbs, according to SEN’s Matt Granland and Brian Waldron.

Granland told SEN’s Hungry For Sport that “dialogue has started between Carlton and Adelaide,” with Waldron adding “the call was made by Carlton, rather than the other way around.”

Coupled with by this time next year we will be closer too knowing who of our previous recruits will fit and which we can move..

What a croc of Waldron!!

 

[passmark]

Give Waldron his due. He was the guy who called the Gibbs move first last year.

 

[Robertio]

With all the bs rumours i recon it will all amount to nothing gibbs will stay and Will only get Kennedy and maybe lang

Only?

 

[teagueyubeauty]

True that, but he's talking s**t in this instance

 

[Neadsy83]

So our 2018 second round pick (#19-25) to GWS for Kennedy and GWS 2018 second round pick (#33-36).
Our 2018 3rd round pick (#37-43) to Geelong for Lang

Sound fair? Or do we really need next years third round for Father/sons so better to use #40?

Gws traded their 2018 2nd as part of the Smith deal.

 

[Big_Luch]

I doubt we called them...more like we finally returned their phone call from the start of trade period

 

[passmark]

Two ZORKOS??!

Sounds like an order at the kebab shop.

2 Zorkos with the lot thanks mate.
