Bluemour Discussion Thread XVII - Coniglio means Rabbit in Italian!

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Why Sam Gray? 28 year old, undersized and 20 goals this season...

I'm not convinced on Sam Gray being the right fit, better options out there imo...

Out of interest, what is the punishment for posting in the no discussion thread?

Off to the Russian Front.

It’s been reported that all clubs met last week at a Docklands cafe and did some preliminary trade ‘speed dating’.
I think it happens every year

Yes and the Blues and Crows conceded “they’re not good for each other”. GWS was not great with eye contact (apparently).

pure speculation!

From one of the better news breakers on a forum I won’t name.

I know for a fact that Papley has verbally agreed to join us.
So its up to Sos and swans to thrash it out.
There's a hell of alot to do to get this done.

[myblueroan]

[KingCharles]

Someone from here probably sent it to Andy.

He also said “take it to the bank” lol probably Earls Pearls

Quoting callers from GuesSEN (text in this instance to Andy Maher)

Come on KC!

 

[Lace_Out]

I heard the same thing re Cognilio as TCP. Its just a waiting period.

When you consider SOS and Coniglios manager Tom Petroro are good mates it makes a lot of sense

Ok just thought i’d mention it because Maher brought it up and he would have fairly good mail from Carlton people. Not sure if the text was to his direct line or SEN

Jesus, Paps, cogs and Martin all ins for 2020 would make for a formidable side

Here's Andy Maher ...

Has Stephen Coniglio played his final game for GWS?

The off-contract Giant has been heavily linked to Carlton and Hawthorn.

www.sen.com.au

“There was a former teammate of Stephen Coniglio’s who yesterday I was having a chat to and he said that he will be playing next year, but it won’t be at the Giants,” Maher said on SEN’s Bob and Andy.

“If you believe what they’re telling you, Carlton’s money offer has been greater than what Hawthorn and the Giants have been prepared to bowl up.”

Makes sense, in keeping with rumours from TCP & b70 previously that if he leaves Sydney it's definitely us.

We need results to go our way this weekend so Adelaide give us pick 7 or 8 at worst to help us satisfy Sydney.

Thought Jesus retired?

Thought Jesus retired?

Long awaited comeback is happening!!

 

[Pixelshooter]

Thought Jesus retired?

Didn't you hear? Greatest comeback in history.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Jack Martin, Papley, Coniglio and a small defender.

I’d almost be beside myself.

And a young ruckman ...

I remember GWS' CEO Matthews publicly said GWS weren't offering him the most money, but not the least either.

Now i would imagine it's likely Hawthorn are offering the least. They typically stick to a more rigid pay structure and have brought in guys like Mitchell, JOM, Wingard, Scully, Impey & Scrimshaw in the last few years. Apparently they will be bringing in Patton - who is contracted until 2020 so they are taking on an existing contract.

We are clearly offering the most, and are now an attractive destination as a team seemingly on the up.

All Hawthorn supporters have is 'but he wants to play with JOM' but would he seriously give up millions of dollars to play with him, when he can see him any time he wants outside of work hours at the footy club since he'll be living in Melbourne? Doubt it.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

I'd want 'steak knifes' coming back our way.

Unfortunately can't see them giving anything back...

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Martin/papley and cogs would be some sort of trade period and going off the info we are receiving in here it’s a fair chance we could pull off the trifecta lol

No probs.
