Bluemour Discussion Thread XVI - Facts Not Welcome

[BluStreak]

if it turns up trumps then I wish him all the best

 

[blue healer]

We are on the rumour board so it's applicable here at the moment.

In other circumstances, it may depend on negative agendas. Erring on the side of support you know.

No matter the thread the reaction to unpopular posts is the same. With respect I think that's an exercise in hair splitting.

 

[SammaGilberto]

Best of luck to Barks, had to caretake in the clubs darkest period, hope he has some more success in his new AFL role.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Barker to step down as an assistant at years end.

He has big things planned for next year and beyond, in conjunction with the AFL, internationally based which I won't elaborate on.

This makes sense.
The guy is category 4 but probably not getting a senior coach role.
You would think the AFL wants to use people they train up to that level.

 

[The Bighouse]

Coniglio would be great but I'm not fussed if it doesn't happen

Personally I'd like a quality running defender, a small forward and a Ruckman

Probably get all 3 for the same $$$’s too.

 

[ESKIE]

Thanks for the info Lace_Out

 

[drunkill]

Barker to coach an AFLX team overseas huh?

 

[The Bighouse]

The talent was undeniable even if you or I were coaching

And don't think that young players and or the team won't have form slumps

Everything is always better when new

If talent was there (which it is), it was being masked by the gameday output which was Hark’s initial post re: SOS / BB being moved on.

Undeniable that we would not have seen the talent flourish without the removal of BB, the team’s performance was cooked allowing SOS’s wares to have a bit of gloss renewed.

 

[Neese]

Always found it weird that clubs circle in these instances. Surely a direct approach would work better.

Once at a bluelight disco I threw a packet of Samboy chips at a girl to express my interest in a slow dance and potentially some light petting...didn't work.

What flavour?

 

[Soapy V]

Probably get all 3 for the same $$$’s too.

and that's my doubt. I rate Coniglio but I am always cautious on big money for one player. Rarely works

 

[El Topo]

Barker to be the AFL rep on Elon Musk's SpaceX, you heard it here first

 

[Mr_Plow]

Sad to see Barker go, a genuinely good guy but time for some fresh ideas and new talent in the coaches box.

 

[The Bighouse]

$ concern, and I agree, causes issues on many levels. Doubt is over the knee now.

But he would improve our team (not just midfield) so possibly a punt worth tipping our toe into.

 

[Soapy V]

Heard we are a lock in recruiting the best running defender in the game next year.

Sam Docherty

Plus Williamson & SPS. IMO we need some depth and options though

 

[Pafloyul]

Probably get all 3 for the same $$$’s too.

That may be so, but they won't all be available nor will we have the trade currency if they were.

 

[I bleed Blue]

AFL relocating GCS to China.

John Barker as senior coach.

Chinese swimmer Sun Yang as their Marquee recruit ala Izzy Folau.

Its about time China got a team. Disgrace it's taken this long.

Crystal balling

Have a look at my original reply, put that into context

You're on the right track

Allow me to reduce that to a simpler and direct to the point question - I wonder whether SOS is relieved for Bolton to be gone?
Relieved may be the wrong term. Glad may be the more appropriate one.

I have to say and putting myself in SOS's position, I sure would be.

Harks this is 2 different arguments

I was talking about the talent, which is there, during Bolton and now with Teague

The difference, we are winning

Not sure why you and countless others are hellbent on comparisons, this talent will mature no matter the coach

Arrow, I'm not making sense of your reply to my post. Sorry.

My point was.....I think I tabled my point/query - I wonder whether SOS was glad to see the back of Bolton for the obvious reasons?
i.e. It's about SOS and not the talent or lack of.

 

[mikeythemoocow]

I know, but It's Hawthorn mate, somehow they just get things done.

It’s all the Buddy money they have left over

 

[TerryWallet]

Bless the AFL.

First they take the vet off our hands, then they take Johnny as well. They really do love us after all.

Johnny's overall success rate is probably only 2nd to Spud Frawley as the AFL's Biggest Loser.

 

[LanceRomance]

Be funny if Hodge plays in another flag with Brisbane ...

Like haha funny? Or weird funny?

 

[JustaBattler]

Superannuation accounts is how salary cap rorts are fixed these days.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I cant see how they could afford both Patton and Cogs aswell as resigning Mitchell just yesterday.

Literally more than half their list is out of contract at seasons end. They have plenty of money to splash around.
