Bluemour Discussion Thread XIV - Facts Not Welcome

[bluemahogany]

Thanks. And FWIW, I reckon Silvagni did well. Added 3 clear and one fringe best 22, lost nobody, kept our first rounders. Didn’t get Shiel, but we did come last - amazing we were in it at all. Once we missed Shiel we were never going to blow next year’s first or the salary cap space on an average, seasoned mid. Both those things - the cap space and the pick - are too valuable if we rise a bit and are therefore an attractive destination for a proper gun (Kelly, Coniglio, who knows who else) next year

Pick 1 on the table EP?

Seems that the public view is Scrimshaw is not that great.... Interesting to see how this one turns out for the Hawks.

Shiel is a flog

Post of the year, drop the mic.

 

[footyfan1978]

Turn it into pick 2/3/6 on draft night when the pressure is on!

Unrealistic in the extreme.

Thanks mate. What do you by - “we came last”?

With pick 1 of the 2018 AFL draft Carlton select .... Sam Walsh from the Geelong Falcons.

I think that will be correct, if anything is shuffled its further down the pack

Reckon SOS got it done without giving up much of anything …… what will be interesting is to see on draft night the knock backs he dishes out for potential Pick 1 offers ….. reckon Adelaide and GC will come hard prior to announcing the pick number one slot …...

Quite aside from the urge to make a joke from your choice of words... we'd be mad to knock back two picks in the top six if it came to that. I also think we can do without the pressure that pick one brings. Let GC bask in the symbolism of a glorious new rebuild with the first two picks in the draft.

Hugh Goddard vs. Keiran Collins ... which one for a DFA spot?

Not Goddard he’s useless and Collins is another O’Shea

And that's exactly why we can't say SOS didn't do well - who did we miss out on? You can't say we missed someone who didn't actually "nominate" to play for us.

The way we used the state league players and don't have any second round picks can be argued as the wrong way to do it, but that's the strategy we've chosen and we'll have to see how it works out.

Nick Newman grew up two doors down from Whitfield. Fascinating...

Let’s offer Whitefield the locker two doors down from Newman’s!
You know it makes sense.

And then switch off the tv, we're done.

Exactly

Hey roggy, I thought Bombers held all the cards?

They did. They were always going to get Shiel.

I know it's a tad early but I sense coniglio is target number 1 ?

 

[Stamos]

Thanks mate. What do you by - “we came last”?

18th on the ladder with 2 wins

 

[Jeremias]

Hugh Goddard vs. Keiran Collins ... which one for a DFA spot?

Goddard, but I'm not convinced we'll pick up either.

Would rather hold Rowe for one last year and either take Hugh as a rookie or invite him down to the Northern Blues.

Thanks mate. What do you by - “we came last”?

We came last in 2018...
