Bluemour Discussion Thread XVI - Facts Not Welcome

[Robbo's my hero]

The truth is, without inside knowledge, nobody has a clue about how the coaches interacted with each other. It seems everyone is jumping to conclusions based on the fact that we have won games. I’m happy that we’ve won games but I’m not prepared to apportion all the success to David Teague.

fu** that.......

Only if we pay him $500K per year??

Offer him $70K - then we’ll see how much he loves the club...........

 

[blue healer]

someone I know at the club said they did - another person I know at the club said they didn't.............

Well I know a bloke who's not at the club and he said that he wouldn't have a clue.

 

[thylacine60]

sounds about right to me.........

 

[thylacine60]

Can’t just come back cos ya team is shizen and we’re on the up... sorry Eddie I loves ya but your stuck with Tex

brutal

Player ratings rate disposal efficiency VERY high. Champion data do a lot of work understanding how hard the kick attempted was. Whether it was under pressure or not. And unfortunately Walsh does have a slight tendency to miss the target.

Possibly in part influenced by the fact he has run the second most KM in the whole ****ing AFL this year. Just sayin.

can't wait for the upgrade......

That really hurt

Not a rumour but I (perhaps willingly...) overheard LOB and Russell discussing GPS numbers, nutrition and the like. LOB feels in the greatest shape he has since being in the system, legs are fresh and was ready yesterday to play another game...

Definitely a good thing to be hearing about late in a season. Massive pre-season for all coming up.

Can we employ you as our professional eavesdropper?

LOB running is ON FIRE. Can not wait to see him on the MCG against Crows this week.

IIRC - Not quite correct.

Roos said Walsh is SO GOOD that you would trade this year’s Picks 1 AND 2 for him and it would still be a great deal.

When you're at the game you can feel when Sam is off the ground. It's actually scary how much he contributed to our team in his first season.

Yes.

And can the club just ****ing accept my application to join the medical/high performance team over the summer (for free)? I've got some time off and a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career.

I also won't leak any information to the public...

I literally said that twice on the weekend. We lost a bit of run and carry and looked slow for a couple of periods... I look around... No number 18 in sight.

True story, this happened in round 1 against the tigers this year as well ( his first ever game )

p.s. Walsh is also an elite decision maker and hits most of his kicks, champion Data is a crock... I watched him hit some lovely daring kicks down the middle of the ground on Saturday, a lesser player wouldn't have even located the option let alone not the kick

Yeah but I love him more. So there.

It's guesswork for me and you, sure, but it's educated guesswork for the club, right? They get to speak at length with all candidates to assess their attitude, knowledge, plans, strengths, weaknesses, requirements etc.

Appreciate that you see the history with Ratten as a door once closed that we don't need to open again. I suppose I'm just trying to plant a little seed in your head that should Ratten be a better coaching candidate, then it's in the club's best interests to hire him and put a structure in place around him that allows him to focus solely on his job alone.

Was firmly Team Ratts early on, but I'm coming around to Teague. Certainly prefer both blokes to the Scott, Lyon, Voss options, and hold some reservations about a possible Clarkson coup. Feel like a fresh but well-prepared coach is what the team needs now, someone with no preconceived ideas about what a football team should do, but an open mind as to what our football team does best.

This post is a good-un

Bit harsh he's only 53 years old.
Got another couple of good years left I reckon.

There's some context around what Roos said. Gold Coast offered us two of their high picks (last year's super draft) for pick 1 (Walsh) and Carlton said thanks but no thanks. Such was the undeniable belief that Sam was special despite how stacked everyone also believed the draft was.

 

[Wickzki]

Yes.

And can the club just ******* accept my application to join the medical/high performance team over the summer (for free)? I've got some time off and a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career.

****. If I was holding SOS's daughter hostage you'd have her back in a heartbeat.

Doesn’t Paul Roos just love Carlton at the moment

Greasing up big time

 

[teagueyubeauty]

no u

 

[MileHigh]

Eddie is cooked.

Agreed. No point bringing him back for 1 year if the rumour is true, which I am sure it isnt.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Eddie is cooked.

Can we start writing his epitaph after this week please[emoji849]

So Daisy is getting a contract. Goes against some inside word but I think it is probably deserved
