Bluemour Discussion Thread XVII - Coniglio means Rabbit in Italian!

Its unlikely Phillips and Kruezer play together I would suggest, dont see it happening.

Not at all convinced that TDK is even a full time ruck. He is a forward/ ruck chop out IMO.

At last someone says it BrisbaneCFC. Well, Jimmae has said it too, but no one seems to listen to him either. And presumably everyone forgets what SOS said when TDK was drafted. He was drafted as a KPF, and not as a ruck. Unless something has changed. But there’s been no indication that it has.

So TDK is our replacement for Casboult?

 

[BlueTongue]

My assumption would be that Cameron would be fairly cheap to get given he has played one senior game and is down the pecking order there.

I guess this is why the whole thing makes no sense to me...
- He wants more game time and wants to be a No.#1 but unless he's a gun he'd likely get LESS game time with us while Kreuz is there.
- Whilst we may get good currency for Phillips, my Guess is that a Geelong or someone would rather go after a Cameron and offer better money/more gametime, which pushes his value up if we want him.
Realistically what we are hoping for is a cheap ruckman who will be good enough to be our No.1 but will have to wait a couple of years until Kreuz is done.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it happens.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I wouldn't get rid of Fisher either way. He will be a really good player

Unconvinced. Has fallen away massively under Teague while most have improved. Should we get the names being spoken about will not be best 22 next season.

Hmmm, never heard that. Then it looks like we have an abundance of Forwards.

Its how I see it playing out in a couple of years when he is ready.

Spoken about is different to reality. And either way he for me is best22 quality. His pace is a huge feature for us

There is such a thing as a form slump. He has only just turned 21 years old. Gotta cut some players a bit of slack. His foot skills and evasiveness are enough for him to play a role best 22. I personally think Teague has just given him a different role to learn as it was recognised that he was too inexperienced to play full time mid. He will become a great high half forward who rotates into the mid and if Teague can getting him kicking a few more goals he is definitely best 22 playing that role.

I don't see it based on the 10 weeks under Teague but that's ok.

Levi is improving his currency as we speak … no need to go to high with the picks.

Martin will be coming.

Levi is a free agent...

Trade bait for mine. Wonder what Freo would give us for him?

Well the guy has Buckets for hands, and not just average hands, but big knarly knuckled butcher's hands, so I suspect he'll be cluncking a few.

 

[RoyalBlues]

But isn't this why we cant trade Cripp's bestie Fisher cos Patrick will crack the s**ts and leave?

If Fish was traded it would be out of ‘left field’ wouldn’t it?

 

[KingCharles]

If Fish was traded it would be out of ‘left field’ wouldn’t it?

Is fisher on the table for other targets?

 

[Blutopia]

I think we lack a bit of zip and x-factor. He has it. He has only played 50 odd games. He will only get better and he has too many rare qualities to give up.

It certainly would be.

I doubt it, it was a ‘lefty’ joke.

I think he would see Kreuzer as someone who has been injury prone and as a 30 year old, near the end of his career. Being number 2 in the pecking order with the strong possibility of getting a game would be preferable to being number 3 at Sydney behind a 29 year old and 27 year old.

I can understand why Geelong might be pushing hard too.

While Fishers form may not be quite what it was I would not necessarily be assuming that it has anything to do with Teague directly. That may be coincidental. Lets see in the preseason and early 2020. Fish has the goods, well worth persevering as we have had to do with a number of the young guys.

Absolutely not. Fish hasn't had a good year but he's 21 and has shown some terrific signs already at AFL level.

I am very confident he'll be at least a good footballer at AFL level.

You don't willingly put that sort of talent on the trade table. It would be a shocking list management decision.

This 1000%

Hopefully Fisher is not another menzel. SOS wont stand for it

What is with your obsession with trading Fisher and even McKay?

It's not going to happen.

There may be a day where we do have to trade out some of our good players, but that's years down the track. Certainly not end of this year.

 

[carlton_99]

On SEN apparently Andy maher said he spoke to an ex-GWS player who said Cogs is leaving GWS. No club was specified. Anyone hear this?

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Sam Gray is apparently a lock.

Fasolo replacement?
