Bluemour Discussion Thread XIV - Facts Not Welcome

[Ruckus]

I have no doubt we have thrown some options at GWS for Kelly. No issue with that. Shows him we want him.

I just don't like throwing everything at one player no matter how good. Our game need a group of players. Not like basketball. Kelly is 24 next year so has 4-5 years at his absolute best. I would rather bring in 2 genuine young talented players that have 10 years ahead of them

I understand and agree with the sentiment that two may be better than one here in the long-term, too many eggs in one basket, etc, but let's not forget Kelly is only two months older than Patrick Cripps.

If Cripps too only has 4-5 years remaining at his absolute best, then a case could be made that we need to get some A-grade talent around him pronto.

What an uneventful day

Meh, let’s just get Walsh and develop our own. Then we can sit back and enjoy the premierships even more.

This would be more satisfying.

A bloke that has finished only as high as 9th in GCS B&F in his time isnt worthy of making players walk taller.

And if you have to resort to calling Same Rowe a "weak gutted campaigner" after he beat him at a contest then he isnt the player you want to look up to.
Lets see May go through half the challenges Rowe has and see how much character he has. No wonder Brown punched him in thr face.

Rowe has been a very good servant of the club, we should respect his great courage and commitment to the Baggers.
If he's ok to continue he'll always have a spot in the team in the very least for 2019.

In my opinion no player is worth that much. Not now or ever. Its a sure way to upset the applecart.

Is that you Rancy?

 

[Blue and Blue]

He was only answering questions re pick 1 so allows him to shop either future first or both firsts.

I am certain SOS talks to Carlton supporters whenever its being recorded, not to the media as such. And he tells it straight, no pork pies.

 

[ferrisb]

**** Essendon. It'll be ten thousand days before they get within 5 goals of a final let alone win one.

That works too

 

[dlb99]

It seems that GWS is struggling to get Essendon to give them Pick 9 + whatever for Shiel.

Dodoro, I am stunned, simply stunned that he is proving difficult.......NOT. Dodoro pulls out the same playbook every year....call his bluff you fools.

When will clubs tell Dodoro to stick it where the sun don't shine like we did to that knob Justin Reid?

I want to see this starting defence round 1 next year:

Weitering - Jones - Marchbank
Collins - Goddard - Macreadie

Macreadie can play on the small forwards.

 

[Blue Beard]

The thought of Shiel being taken off the trade table due to us getting Kelly would be worth selling the farm for.[emoji23]

It will be on TV right? Kano, Barrett and Lordo?

Yeah I think thats what is happening this year.

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Do we really have to go through this every 5 minutes? It's been explained how we can numerous times

Well yes.

Especially when I don't have time to scroll over almost 200 bluemourless pages to get the idea. Duty calls for the week.

Trade Suggestion:

Carlton give: 1
Carlton get: 6, 8, Adelaide future first

GC give: 2, 3
GC get: 1, 10

Port give: 6, 10
Port get: 2

Adelaide give: 8, future first
Adelaide get: 3

Nope I’d rather have Walsh at 1
Regardless GCS would not agree to that deal.

Especially in the current position we are in. Very much agree

Check Kelly’s dads career.

Seems good pedigree. What am I missing?

 

[bmaurizio]

Yup, I'm certain all the drama is being suspended untill final trading and TV day on Wednesday.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Jeez we've been dumb this year, our depth is going to be our Achilles heal for years and won't survive the natural attrition a club goes through each season, particularly with our list profile. The club must think that the quality free agents are going to appear out of thin air and come flocking to club, won't happen. We've gone from clever tactics to power tactics and that's just dumb for a bottom club.

Which move was dumb?

 

[smashbox gill]

I seriously don’t understand the amount of people who don’t want Walsh. I swear people are just trying to find reasons not to take him.

He’s the clear best player in this draft

Following in the footsteps of Aaron Hall

Might be a new recruiting strategy for the North Melbourne Football Club.

Shame they didn't do the same with Gaff

That has 100 point shellacking written all over it

GCS signed Collins

 

[KingCharles]

I am waiting for the sky to turn yellow. SOS stated categorically that he would hold onto pick one unless some club came with a silly offer. Nothing about shopping it around. And SOS always says exactly what he means.

Yeh cos SOS is going to tell the whole world he has offered it for Kelly....

 

[Blue and Blue]

Is that you Rancy?

no idea what that even means mate ???

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Just hold onto pick 1 this year and our remaining picks next year. Call this trade period done and take walsh. Its a great off season imo

 

[Bronze]

GCS signed Collins

Yeah I think it was meant to be tongue in cheek.
