Bluemour Discussion Thread XVII - Coniglio means Rabbit in Italian!

[MrJimmy]

I can't believe the obsequious attitude on this forum regarding draft targets. Once the rumours come that the club is targeting certain players, we act like a bunch of circus dogs.

Who is this and what position does he play?

 

[Blue Pride]

Can play midfield. You just get it done.

Is he better than Hill? I know Hill will be big $$$ but gee he’d be nice

 

[Mr_Plow]

Jack Lukosius' cousin, can run through the midfield.

Fremantle will want more. The WA supporters will burn them. This is their B Gibbs moment the first time round.

Will want 2 firsts, will settle for pick 2 from Melbourne

 

[F_therest]

My thinking its too much for a small forward. Rather put that on the table for another midfielder who can rest forward.
Martin and Cogs will play forward and our current crew in who can also in Murphy, Cunners, Fisher, Gibbons, Kennedy, Setters, Dow .... Top ten is way overs.

Disagree.

We have mids resting forward now and how's that going for us? We need a specialist. Just look at the damage Charlie Cameron is doing.

Correct. Fremantle are trying to do exactly what we did.

Auction off good players for exorbitant prices.

A proper small forward would be going nuts in our forward setup. Ample tall timber to work around. Papley would be kicking a lot of goals and make our side that much more dangerous.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Al Clarkson on Cogs: "We're not going to get a crowbar and pull him out of there".

Reckons only wants to entertain bringing him in if he wants to leave. BS.

Anyway, if I'm Cogs, then I'd want to join the Blues. GWS aren't looking like they're going to win a flag. The Hawks haven't got the list for it, they'll finish between 5th-8th for a couple of years and then that's it, back down the pecking order. So Blues definitely would be the more attractive destination. But, I'm obviously not him so let's wait and see...

And why would you want to join a team that trains at dingley. You almost have to live out that way. Surely you move to Melbourne to join a big club on big money you want to live near the city.

And not have to play games at Tassie.

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

#Bluemour

Can confirm.

 

[Quazza]

Fwiw Sam Gray is nowhere near the player Papley is. Go float that idea on the Port Board, see the reaction you get

Yesterday it was paradoxically and now obsequious. Luv bluemours for the english language exploration alone, now I'll google this new one.

edit. It's less pretentious, but I prefer groveling.

 

[Blueboys7]

Will take a hell of a lot of negotiating from where the Swans have started their bargaining ….. 2 x 1st rounders. SOS has heaps of work to do to get that done to something we can match.

Surely Adelaide first is enough. Charlie Cameron went for pick 12 and is a better player.

 

[F_therest]

Just watching Clako on 360, he said we've poached someone (off field) from Hawthorn who's already been announced, and then it sounded like we have poached another who will be announced soon? Any ideas?

Kinda excited to see who we got from them now.

For it to be worth Clarko mentioning it, would have to be someone at a decent level i would imagine...maybe Scott Burns as senior assistant?

 

[fnm_just a man]

I’m surprised by the willingness to hand over pick 8 for Papley and I’ve been a fan from his early days. I’d sooner hand it over for J Martin than Paps. Reckon too few are recognising how good Martin is and will be.

I’d want something worthwhile back from Swans if it’s pick 8 for Paps.

I think Papley probably comes in to a similar price to McGovern with the contracted status. If Swans want more than the Crows pick it won't happen this year.

 

[Brezsa]

I don’t think they are auctioning him off, he wants to go.

They lost Neale and he is a big chance to win the Brownlow this year, Neale was also contracted and the Freo supporters I know are dirty on it, their membership is down, their home crowds are down, they aren’t WCE they aren’t a financial powerhouse.

This is a big moment in Freos history and I honestly hope, that they finally stand for something and take someone who is desperate to the cleaners for Hill, I also think Peter Bell will do it, don’t think Carlton needs to be or should be that club

Clarko looks pissed about it, lol. Love to see it.

Thank you RB. I thoroughly investigated that.

 

[tarczonandjane]

The Carlton09 Bluemour on Jack Martin was interesting because of the role SPS is alleged to have played. What awesome leadership for him to be given responsibility to talk to a potential recruit and sell the virtues of the club. It’s very encouraging to hear that the club holds him in such regard.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

If Papley wants to come over, and Swans want our first round pick (ie #7 or 8 or 9), just give it to them.
At the end of the day, we already have Stocker with our first round pick....we'd be getting Papley with the Cow's.
Papley + Stocker for pick #3 or 4 (if GC get priority pick)....sounds pretty good to me.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Disagree.

We have mids resting forward now and how's that going for us? We need a specialist. Just look at the damage Charlie Cameron is doing.

Our forward line has been functioning well in the 2nd half with multiple forwards hitting the scoreboard and midfielders resting.
As I said, Cogs & Martin both hit the score board and will be huge for us both there and midfield. Add Murphy, Gibbons, Cunners, Kennedy, Cripps with the kids like Fisher, Dow, Walsh just improving their forward craft and we don't need a specialist forward at that price! It's price I'm not happy with pick 7 / 8 is too much unless we get at least a 2nd back. Talk of 2 1st is ridiculous as well.

 

[F_therest]

Clarko looks pi**ed about it, lol. Love to see it.

And he said something about Hawthorn trying to poach someone from Sydney...maybe to replace the person we poached from them lol

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

He's got a young daughter, I doubt he'd go up there

 

[DangerousD]

TCP news re: Papley doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Adelaide's pick currently sits at 9. The highest it can mathematically climb to is 5, whilst the lowest it could mathematically drop to is 19.

Obviously the most likely scenario now is that the pick falls somewhere in the range of 8-10.

Do we really think Sydney are going to be open to moving Papley on if we have say pick 8, but not if we have pick 10?

Not at all, if they’re going to move him on, they will just ask for another 1st or 2nd rounder to sweeten the deal
