Bluemour Discussion Thread XIV - Facts Not Welcome

[carlton2dabone]

There’s a reason why SOS said that we will sit back and watch how the trades with other teams fall, because the only scenario that even has a chance of us trading pick one for pick 2 and something else is if Adelaide and GC work out a deal for Adelaide to get pick 2 from them.

All we can do right now is sit back and see if Adelaide and GC work out a deal, and then it will be a question of just how much Adelaide is worried we might draft luko ourselves and don’t want to risk it.

So we sit back and watch as everyone’s trades unfold, and if an opportunity like the above presents itself then we start talking to Adelaide and see where that goes.

You can only trade the pick before you’ve chosen a player. You cannot get a player, then on-trade him to another club.

The only way we’d trade pick 1 on the night is if a team approached us prior to our selection

However down the road in 5 years live player trading may happen too. I not keen on it though. Can you imagine how you would feel as a supporter that on draft night, your favourite player at club , just got traded because some club came with an offer pick 2, 7 and 8 for Patrick Cripps and club in 2 or 3 minutes decide with no emotion they got to do the trade....

We've only had future round picks trading for about three years. This was next step and probably in a few years can trade two years in advance. Not a fan of too much of this. I hope what we got now is enough of the dynamics in system.

This reminds me when drafting was first into the league, Alan Schwab intended live trading on draft night to come into play soon after. Was only because his shock death it never happened until decades later.

If the Hawks did give up 53 for a shot Scully that could open the door for GWS to retain Shiel for another year and **** * over.

Now that would be hilarious......

 

[F_therest]

WTF...despite salary and injury issues surely scully gets more than 53...

Unless his injury is really bad, but if it was hawks wouldnt chase him.

I don't get it. We have salary cap space...for a paltry third rounder he'd absolutely be worth it.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I would have liked to have taken a FA punt on Whitecross.

 

[Dadda Dave]

Agreed and Friday nights are empty at the moment. I've decided to hang s**t on peeps for fun

I'm right ! My neighbour's across the road are giving me entertainment with a drunken drugged punch on !! Just waiting for the boys in blue to rock up and take a couple away ..

 

[Just Kreuzing]

life is s**t when there's no footy.

Season proper was shitterer, at least we are being competitive this week...

 

[kjr8]

But what does that say about the Setterfield deal? Is he really worth more than Scully? Quite a bit more?







http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-12/the-10-free-agents-left-without-a-deal this suggests there are 10 left without contracts... plus those delisted.

Setterfield is clearly highly rated industry wide, despite injuries... I think we paid a fair price.

Sheesh, that’s an uninspiring list...

Betts finished equal 15th with Sloane.

Yet Crows seem to think they turned him into a Star and he didn’t play any decent footy for us.

You live across the road from Thy?

POtential he's taken in the draft/ rookie draft still

His management told Saints he was not coming to a club that wasn’t playing finals.

My tip hawks won’t play finals this year given they’ll have a tougher draw.

*er hit me first!

 

[crocodilian]

I would love Port to trade up to pick 3, then Adelaide trump them with pick 2, then Port come calling for pick 1, with giving us pick 3 plus extras. We would still get Walsh, and Adelaide would miss out their main priority

His brother is built the same way, played a granny with internal bleeding and broken ribs, and then took the intercept mark that led to Collingwood losing a granny :’)

I'm surprised Patton's still on their list.

I thought he was the logical salary dump.

Big slow guy, ACL gone - I reckon his best days are behind him.

I am amazed GWS didn't try and roll him into the Shiel deal to Carlton.

Yeah feel for pat but not for us . No need .

Problem is he only wants to go to a contending team apparently

* footy trip ?

 

[footyfan1978]

I bloody like it but I reckon they would need more..

Yes, we do, like a second rate future pick to be allowed to trade our future first rounder after getting one.

 

[Tushay]

Worth remembering that our two best young players came with picks 12 and 13. Walsh will be very good for us, but 3 picks in the top 15 in a strong draft is tempting (just assuming we could get this ransom).

 

[Mezzoculo]

We take Lukosious in the draft and so Adelaide live-bid for Lukosious with pick 2 + 2nd rounder.

Then we take Walsh at pick 2 and gain a 2nd rounder.

Once we call a name that player is locked in. Can only trade *before* the pick is used.

 

[footyfan1978]

No one knows what SOS is thinking

Walsh has been rumoured so have the King Brothers and Smith.

Live pick trading .... SOS to visit Adelaide day before draft day and meet with Rankine, Lukosius, Rozee and Hately

Snort and Radelaide freak out and go the full Crazy Voss!

Yes, do it SOS. Freak the *ers out big time. We did a good campaign here of convincing all the dopey press people we only after Walsh. Time to reveal we after any of up to 5 guys and Lukosias, Rankine and Smith we right in. Maybe even Blakey too. If we bid on Blakey at pick 1 do Swans have the points or even gumption to match it ?

 

[Mezzoculo]

Is it silly to suggest we should offer our future first to Freo for Neale??? Draft Walsh this year. Then chase free agents next year


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Can we still trade our future first if we've traded our future second?

 

[WeninRome]

you must just love the thrill of the hunt......

Correct

Just wait till Andrew Russell gets hold of him. Have to fix up that beer gut before Round 1 2019.
