Bluemour Discussion Thread XIV - Facts Not Welcome

[Tushay]

Still think we will be involved somehow in the Wingard to Hawks trade.

Port get Burton and our future first
Hawks get Wingard
Carlton get this years Picks 10 & 15

Be some other stuff around it but in general I would be okay with it. Getting Walsh, Hately & Caldwell NOW would give us an amazing young midfield

Port do very well out of that. I'd like to see them add a second/third to it (for us).

 

[footyfan1978]

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of shopping our future 3rd around for a 23-27 yr old player.

Nick Newman, Jeremy Finlayson, any others that could potentially come at that cost??

Newman more a future 4th rounder. He close enough to de-listing to not be worth giving up much.

 

[The Bighouse]

I'd be happy for us to trade for Newman if the swans look like they won't delist him

Pick#95 based on their Rohan & Hannebery trades.

 

[Soapy V]

The trade is happening. Just messing about over finer details. GWS are getting pick 9 and Dons future 1st rounder. Dons just trying to get a little back, like our future 2nd rounder if they can.

Glad we didn't get him. Way too much

 

[Soapy V]

Types like Newman are exactly what we need

 

[windows1]

Newman only happens if the Swans can't keep him but can't trade him.

Unlikely

He can decide to not sign and go to PSD.

 

[LegendaryBlues]

Newman played a lot of half back at the swans. kicking was pretty good, depending on tank could play as an outside mid and swap with half back.

 

[ESKIE]

ESKIE will be the sole judge on who should and shouldn't have kept their powder dry!

Shut up crush

 

[Blue and Silver]

Swans board aren't fans of Newman.

Asked the question and they are trying to get rid of him.

Worth a punt I guess.

 

[reubsblues]

Cant we get Newman for free as a delisted free agent

 

[bendigoblues]

Hi bendigoblue.
Didn't realize there were two blue supporters in Bendigo.

I thought I was the only Blue in the village.

Hahah

Not many around here would be on this forum I’d say

 

[Monkey King]

Shiel went to Essendon because he rates their list better than ours, Saints and Hawks. Not because they were the best for GWS to deal with.

If you buy into each club’s pitch, the Dons are a better fit for Shiel age-wise. Shiel would likely be 28yo before Carlton start threatening, which would still be a good situation for Carlton, but maybe 3 sunk years not such a good one for Shiel. The Dons timeline not so stretched.

FWIW, the Saints would've been the best for them to deal with as they would've coughed up pick #4 and paid him more than the others.

Worked for Treleor too lol

....says we have no picks. Could we do Jones for 33 & Newman?

if they dont offer him a contract, why dont we get him for free on november 1, when delisted player free agency starts?

That sounds like the plan, if he doesn’t re-sign with the Swans (more interest may be shown by them after no Langdon or Moore signings).

 

[Dropagrogan]

Totally agree!!

 

[bmaurizio]

Agresta should know all regarding Newman's potental and value to us.

 

[thylacine60]

sell me, soap - no, not "sell me soap" as in a cleaning agent - "sell me, soap" as in, placate my apprehensions on this bloke, soap

Hawks will need to give us more. Either another second or their 1st next year. Don’t let our next years 1st go that easily....

 

[Cliffords Blues]

No idea MC, i only went through that way for work. Bendigo - Ballarat. Gets a bit chilly them parts.

I'm ex-Maryborough (big Nick's town), and then Dunolly
Is MC talking about Tolbat?

More like Port would need to give more. Wingard and #10 for Burton and our future 1st? They'd run for the hills.

 

[bendigoblues]

Thanks for posting the shiel article

I took from it that Williams certainly used his position to influence things.

Anyone who listens to hird for advice or direction is not someone I’d call smart

Another biased article showing how truly horrible Carlton is compared to the brotherhood down at the lab.

I hope gws get the two firsts for him

 

[IronMan29]

We won't be giving up any more picks for players this trade period. Picks will be used in draft in particular matching bids on F/S.
Looking at mature players through delisted free agency after trade period.
Pick one only up for grabs if SOS and Agresta can guarantee the player they want will fall at the picks they receive back.

He played 20 games after Rd 2 including finals yet he’s not going to be contracted? Something not adding up here..

 

[OZBomb]

We don't need to trade for Nic Newman. We can pick him up as a DFA if the Swans delist him, or we can wait until the Pre-Season Draft and take him as pick one, assuming we have a senior spot left after the draft. Alternatively he can re-sign with Sydney, or if he's delisted he can go to another club as a DFA.
