Bluemour Discussion Thread XI - Facts Not Welcome

[thylacine60]

As an aside,

Is anyone of the belief, or heard any rumours, that 'under the table' deals are still being made?

I'd be surprised if they're not, just much more complex deals

please call me at your soonest

All coming back to me now. Collins and Weiters were an unstoppable force down back - complementing each other perfectly.

If we picked him up and found a role for him down back, it could bring out the best of Weiters. Surely they'd have a good bond.

Wait, can Weiterbots have friendships?

 

[skadoosh]

Why was Collins delisted? Looks to have a massive frame for a kid.

Anyone know when our exit interviews would be completed for additional delistings? Graham just posted an Instagram story that looks like he's training at Princes Park, is that a sign he might survive into 2019?

Holy Mother of Jesus, can this man not die!

Who has he got compromising photographs of, and doing what to whom or what?

Too slow

Not so much friendship as compatibility.

They figured that it was costing them too much having to retrofit every single door in the place to fit those shoulders through, so they just cut their losses.

 

[thylacine60]

got no qualms - that's right, qualms - with current players staying if we can't bring in better...........

Affirmative.

Very reliable source. Carlton will be super aggressive this trade period. Looking at landing a big fish.

SOS has been putting his boat in down at Queenscliff nearly every day now since our season ended.
Always comes back after dark so nobody can see what he has landed.
Persistent bugger!

oh great - we'll be the first team in history to have a bunch of penguins run out in navy blue........

No, only technicians!

Lacks the physical attributes (speed, agility, etc.) to play AFL top level football.

Allegedly wasn't too popular among teammates and had a poor work ethic.

May be a better fit at the Blues. We might come out on top in a potential Gowers for Collins "delisting swap."

Queen Elizabeth has a better turning circle than him

Contradicts what was said about him in the article I posted. I’ll trust the former coaches over gossip in this case

Doesn't start until 11

Would love us to pick up Collins. Big wraps from his draft year, have a read, great article on him. Also mates with Weiters, which could help boost W confidence.

How’s his kicking, composure and decision making? Doesn’t need much of those to surpass Rowe.

Yep

Francis I see potential. Parish is a long way off.

I'm not sure why I'm sticking up for Essendon but it's probably because I see things in them that really annoy me about Carlton.
One being that we keep saying play the kids but players like, Francis, G McGovern, Doedee even McKay have shown there are sometimes better ways of developing players.
Two would be we for some reason we think all our kids are going to come on and become stars where's a player like Parish who we hardly rate has well out performed our kids at similar ages
Finally I really hated how SOS said it's easy to build a mid range team.

It’s now 11pm according to their twitter

Was Kieran Collins the mature age player taken in the same draft as Weitering that the dogs thought would be their KPD for 10 years? Or am I thinking of someone else? What happened to him?

Collins wasn't mature aged. He just looks like he is 30. Shannon Hurn syndrome.

Are you thinking of Marcus Adams?
