Bluemour Discussion Thread XVII - Coniglio means Rabbit in Italian!

[tencentpiece]

Thanks for the update. Any news on Coniglio?

Another one the club is confident on, but I think it might be a similar situation as Shiel where multiple clubs were very confident they would be getting him (we thought Shiel was 100% coming for example).

 

[F_therest]

What's the likelihood? A few clubs are linked to him.

Most of the media noise is around Carlton though.

And b70 said it will be Carlton IF he leaves Sydney.

 

[F_therest]

Impossible to say at this stage. Club is somewhat confident whatever that means . Keep in mind the season hasn't even finished yet so a lot to play out.

Seems like players are in a way stringing clubs along for longer these days?

Obviously from their point of view they might genuinely be 50/50 and want to keep all their options open.

No doubt indications from Papley camp to Carlton have been positive so far...but there were a number of clubs 'confident' on landing Shiel last year, North thought they had Gaff/Martin etc.

 

[F_therest]

Teague as head coach
Voss as assistant (replacing Barker)
Roos as Director
Just my guess.

I think if we bring in Voss as an experienced, senior assistant there would be no need for Roos or any director.

Given what Essendon had to give up for him in the end, possibly a blessing in disguise in hindsight.

Though adding Shiel to our team with his hard running would make our midfield look incredibly strong.
Murph can't go on too much longer in such good form you'd think, so Shiel would have been a good replacement as that hard running, link up midfielder.

Thank you B70 ...

hawks fans very very confident on their board.

Shiel mk ii

Also heard from a source in Adelaide earlier in the year (before being dropped) that Gibbs thought he had made a mistake and would like to come back

Voss will not coach carlton everyone will be happy with the outcome.
Ok so not in the capacity as a coach but he is still coming to carlton ?

 

[Aphrodite]

Voss will not coach Carlton.. everyone will be happy with the outcome.

 

[Wily trout]

I'm really warming to the idea of Voss as an assistant coach, midfield would develop a tougher edge. As long as Teague is the big dog.

 

[therubbernub]

re coniglio and shiel situation, I think once you make the huge emotional leap to part ways with your club and best friends, that you become somewhat mercenary in your decision making and the two "pulls" are obviously money and chances of success. I believe we will be leading the race on the $'s side and that just leaves the success side of the equation. Unlike last year where Shiel could not see where we were heading under Bolton, Coniglio would have a much higher opinion of our chances going forward. I would say that we would be judged about equal with the hawks- simply because they have clarkson and we dont, but our clearly better group of young players would put us ahead IMO.

No dude. He means we will be happy with the announcement of the coach ie Teague baby !!!

 

[Dadda Dave]

So that's a huge welcome to head coach David Teague..
Congratulations..

Re coniglio.

I spoke to the father of a GWS player on the weekend and he said Coniglio is leaving. Unlikely Carlton as he will go to the highest bidder.

Poor form from GWS with their rather selfish finals campaign forcing us here to have to nervously wait a few extra weeks for Cogsmania to erupt here on BF...

Isn’t that us at this stage though?

I think Cogs will stay at the Giants but I would be very surprised if there is a club out there willing to offer a better deal financially than we are.

Confident we will be "the highest bidder".

The father has a connection to Carlton. Happy to let mods know who if needed but won't post publicly as it would give away who I am.

We are the highest bidder according to this ...

Carlton is understood to be prepared to be the top bidder at $1.3 million a year, with Hawthorn’s offer coming in at around $1.1 million.
The GWS offer is not too far behind, likely to be around seven figures given the club has rapidly overhauled its salary cap picture.

St Kilda has also thrown a significant offer at Coniglio, but he seems reluctant to move to Moorabbin.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Saints could offer more than us but youd be crazy to go there
