Bluemour Discussion Thread XII - Facts Not Welcome (cont in pt 13)

[HBF]

McClure going with the Byrne news, that we are concerned he wont be back

He must read BF.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

I thought he was Sydney bound.

That's what i kept seeing, that he was heading to them, if he didn't re-sign with the Pies. That was the suggestion even early in the year.

Tom Browne says Shiel keen on Hawthorn, but it's still down to us and them. Essendon and St Kilda out of the race.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I thought he was Sydney bound.

This. And isn't he a forward? Why would we need with what we have a MM?

Stopped reading right there

 

[HBF]

Gaff & Setterfield would be my preferred combination. Gaff is free and we keep next years first. I rate Gaff ahead of Shiel as well

I thought it was going be North if he came back to Victoria

 

[Mister Carlton]

Come on down Luke Dunstan.

Was always going to happen.

 

[Soapy V]

Come on down Luke Dunstan.

Stop looking at the negative in everything Brissy

 

[Styxx]

Not sure how another draft pick and a player who hasn’t played much footy at GWS is a way to bolster our midfield next year more than adding Dow and Kennedy bolstered it last year.

Oh well...

Long term build.

Dow, O'Brien, Fisher, SPS, Setterfield and Walsh is a ten year combination, add Shiel, Cripps, Murphy and that isn't awful next year in the immediate short term.

 

[Pafloyul]

Trolls aren't funny.

This one is...

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Tom Browne says Shiel keen on Hawthorn, but it's still down to us and them. Essendon and St Kilda out of the race.

He wants Hawthorn

GWS wants Carlton

That’s how it’s all looking to me

I want players 100% committed to us

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

We have made enquries with regards to Darcy Moore.

He's been all but locked into the Swans for months hasn't he?

 

[Faz 2000]

Not sure how another draft pick and a player who hasn’t played much footy at GWS is a way to bolster our midfield next year more than adding Dow and Kennedy bolstered it last year.

Oh well...

Pick 1 is never about improving the next year's performance. We take Walsh because 3+ years from now he can/should/projects to be a long-term AFL star. Likewise bringing in Setterfield would be about the mid-long term, not 2019.

We can spend the AFL's crappy assistance package on propping things up for 2019, the premo picks etc are not about "immediate impact".

Shiel has another meeting with the club tomorrow. Club expecting to be told either way his intentions shortly after that meeting. I'd say the chances are dramatically lower of landing him than they were a week ago, still very much a possibility. If he decides on hawks and then they are unable to get the deal done, blues won't step in and make an offer. SOS & bolts want players that are committed to the club.

If Shiel doesn't get done, setterfield becomes much easier.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

That comment works both ways.

Overtly negative or blindly optimistic, not sure which is worse...

 

[Garth Vader]

How the * does Shiel get to Hawthorn when we supposedly have what we have to offer and they are not exactly winning Grand Finals at the moment.

The AFL seriously needs to bring in a team of forensic accountants over there.

Just absolutely had a gutful of this. Surely the AFL sees something is seriously wrong here. These pricks keep usurping other teams - this just happens, does it?

******* Dawks and their merchant banker and pollie buddies.

Hope they implode in '19.

Shits me that I have to travel on the same tram line as (many of) their self-entitled, checked-shirt-wearing, khaki-pantsed, cuff-linked, born-to-rule supporters.

[HBF]

I reckon Lynch was always going to the Tigers.

Richmond have been working on him for 2 years.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Stopped reading right there

And yet i found myself reading his twitter. He only suggested that he doesn't "think @EssendonFC @stkildafc realistic options now"

 

[tencentpiece]

A couple of clubs have asked about Casboult and also Jones as well. Doubt Jones will be looked at seriously from our side of things, but Casboult is obviously an option.

 

[bendigoblues]

clarkson/hawks must have given one hell of a presentation to Shiel. Thought he was ours but no comments on here suggest thats going to be the case.

 

[Dominator_7]

Why do people insist on attacking some posters who have rumours, but treat others like Gods. Whether it ends up being right or wrong, a rumour is just that, and should be taken with a grain of salt. Unless the rumour poster is purposely being a troll, chill out I reckon.

 

[Shambolic]

It actually could be material - average salary is over $330K so if he’s on an average salary then paying his entire salary helps GWS significantly.

It’s a great idea and probably something SOS is pursuing - offering one of our contracted players to GWS and paying them out of our salary cap. That would make all the other trades we are pursuing work since we won’t have to pay GWS as much in draft picks.

Thats my point. As a player he would only be on an average or lower than average salary. Its not a material change.

 

[Aphrodite]

Happy with this news if true.

That was a troll HBF.
