Bluemour Discussion Thread XVI - Facts Not Welcome

[Bearded Carpenter]

I'd argue Teague has a better coaching resume.

I don’t argue and I’m not dismissing Teagues 2 game afl record

 

[ESKIE]

Timber paling hurts ones arse

Ok i have time I’ll work that out

 

[Blue and Blue]

Not saying anything bad about Teague in his 2 game afl record.

I know you werent mate.
But I am saying coaching teams to two grand finals at any level is better than bottom.

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

I believe he will stay at GWS but will have talks with Carlton & Hawthorn
Doesn’t make sense which is it ?

I believe it means we’ll be used once again to drive up the price of a player that’s not coming to us. SOP for player agents these days.

Except we thrashed the Dogs with Bolton at the helm ...

I think the recruitment of McGovern was driven by what we could get, not what we needed.

Hit. Nail. Head.

 

[Blues_fest]

People wanting to trade one of our tall forwards are nuts. Teams would kill to have multiple key forward prospects like ours...They will work it out and it offers so much flexibility.

We’ve nailed the hardest part of building a list and can now just fill it out. No reaching for talls in the first round, no random long term speculative picks, no relying on VFL quality players. Set and forget and concentrate on depth.

Why on earth would we give that up?

Wasn’t Bolton successful in lower leagues also?

The way he kicked for goal the other week I'm guessing he was on the "Collingwood to kick more behinds than goals" market.

Could also have been spoon feeding Pendlebury to get him to 30+ possessions.
If either of those scenarios are true (though hard to prove), then he needs to be banned for life. Yes, life.
It's not just the issue of illegal betting, it's also match tampering.
The flow on effect is that the general public have their bets effected as well.

No disrespect to teague but voss has the better footy cv by a long way.

People seem to forget the bloke is a dead set legend of the game.

Young players would be in awe of what he has done and who he is.

I think he has a great CV by what he has done as a player, but that doesn’t automatically make him a great coach. His record as a coach is not good. Wasn’t that long ago that he was being called “Crazy Voss” and for good reason. His time at Brisbane was a disaster and Ports midfield doesn’t look that great.

Teague has a better coaching resume. Looked good when he coached the Bull ants and then did a great job at Adelaide.

 

[Prem17]

Hey Ferris, are the 2 WA players Walters and Fyfe?

PS - I'm over the chat about Collingwood already - even if it does mean pain for them!!!!!!

 

[VainGlorious]

The AFL need to clamp down on sports betting advertising it’s everywhere I know it won’t happen but it’s constantly shoved at us
Then conveniently ‘gamble responsibly ‘

Yep, gambling is a terrible addiction. I witnessed it first hand and watched someone lose everything.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I put gambling in the same boat as drug addiction.

Carlisle and Hannerbery went there. Although hard to say no to that sort of money on offer.

From a very closely involved source, Carlisle was initially set to go to Carlton; with our bevy of draft picks and desire to rebuild around KP players it made perfect sense.

We did a medical scan and saw Carlisle’s degenerative back problem, and ran a mile away. So Essendon went back to St Kilda who didn’t do a proper scan; the bombers jumped on it.

I was told at the time he would be out of the league in 3 years; it’s actually taken a bit longer than that, but there you go.

Probably would have cost us the Curnow pick straight up, so I’m ok with how that worked out

 

[Blue and Blue]

Snorts of derision...........

 

[rp84]

Even in retirement Jordan Russell can't get the recognition he deserves as the whipping boy of the century.

Remember when he actually looked like a footballer for one season?

Any of those 2 would be great, would give them SPS+ for all 3...

SPS? I think he is a keeper

Well, the AFL does tell us to "gamble responsibly"... Stephenson taking it to a whole new level!

It's not actually funny, of course, because of the risk of corruption. While I think it was undoubtedly a (very) dumb-kid mistake, the AFL still need to make an example of him. Hand down a 12-month penalty, mitigate that with reference to his age, 'fessing up, being dumb, and promising never to do it again, and you end up just rubbing him out for the rest of 2019. Let him back in for day 1 of the 2020 pre-season. I think it'd be enough of a deterrent to serve the purpose, while not wrecking the guy's career.

Bolts decided to try Teagues coaching tactics, kept it for another half before regressing to walking robot style.

Don't really have an issue with the advertising or the betting agencies TBH. I generally don't pay attention to them or any other advertisers either. Sponsors need to get their money's worth. Australia really isn't a country that has a plethora of sponsors lined up ready to throw millions upon millions at sporting bodies.
