Bluemour Discussion Thread XVIII - Please Sir, Can We Have More?

[thylacine60]

does brayshaw believe he is worth all the discussion? I believe he does...……..

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Cameron despite his size, seems as if he may be a handy goalkicker?

40 goals from 38 NEAFL games.

Not sure that helps his case though.

 

[tencentpiece]

A grand total of 3 disposals in 3 years on an AFL list.

That's an avg of 1 disposal per year #idomaths

Not a trade I'd be in the slightest bit excited about personally.

More touches than a certain Kade Simpson in his first 3 games

Teague wants Betts, sos isn't as keen. Compromise is basically that sos will get him if it's cheap enough (cap and trade wise) and if he can't get other targets over the line.

Eddie has said he'd be happy to take less money to get back to the blues compared to his current contract/gcs offer. Although that's with a bit of wink wink knowing the club will look after him after retirement.

Personally think we are more likely to land papley and Martin in which case it would be no Betts

Interesting, i assume Teague is simply expressing his desire to have Betts, and has accepted SOS' response.

Let's be honest, SOS is going about it the right way. If the best small forward we can get is an almost 33 year old Eddie, then we've failed in our brief to bring in some quality small forwards in the right age bracket.

Would much prefer to see names like Papley, Martin and Bolton on the team sheet in 2020, than Betts considering he'll likely retire after 1 year, 2 max.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Cameron apparently has been dominant in the NEAFL.

We have two injury prone ruckmen now who are both around 30. Not sure what more we could do to strengthen our ruck stocks.

It may also suggest that Cas is potentially on his way out...and also that TDK seen more as a ruck/forward option, much like Cas is right now.

 

[tencentpiece]

Cameron will basically be a free hit

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Draft prospect: Darcy Cameron - AFL.com.au

Watch potential 2014 draftee Darcy Cameron in action

www.afl.com.au

He was a draft prospect in 2014, yet didn't get drafted until 2016? I guess they were giving him time to develop further?

Apparently Stevo7 says dogs lead chase for Martin

How many minutes?

Makes complete sense to me. I can't imagine anyone at the Club thinking you'd give up muchin terms of trade and salary to brings Betts in. There's a fair debate around whether you bring him in at all, but you'd think it would only be if he didn't cost much.

Weren't we meeting with him today though?

 

[tencentpiece]

Wouldn't worry too much about leading the race for Martin, likely just his management seeing if they can get us to up his offer imo

 

[gbatman]

I guess Cameron will be a reasonable backup ruckman. Gotta say I'm not over excited, he can't get a game for a side that has been running out without a genuine ruckman. I haven't seen him play so I will hold judgement until then. He's a 23 year old ruckman and that's where he does tick the box. If Agresta and SOS think this is a good get then I trust their judgement.

His NEAFL stats are pretty good so that's a good sign.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

I haven't seen enough of De Koning...is he a future number 1 ruckman, or will he be more a forward who plays second ruck?

Imo he'll be a very good ruckman that can also go forward and cause some headaches...

 

[SurreyBlue]

Just get Martin ffs.

 

[Cripptonite]

Is it just me who would prefer to "miss out" on Martin?

He seems an inconsistent and ordinary player whenever I have watched him with no best position. IMO would not be worth $500k-600k let alone the draft capital needed to get him. What role would he play in our team? He is not a small forward, not particularly quick or strong.

Instead give me Papley and a gun midfielder please!

(In saying that if we do get Martin I will back him in 100%)

Would say it has more to do with GC, than Martin himself. Not many players have thrived there over the years.

An 18 year old Kade Simpson.

Who had done significantly more by the time he was 24.

Swans didn’t bother keeping Nankervis either when Richmond offered them buggerall for him. That backfired on them.

 

[Arr0w]

Constable was around pick 30 in his draft and we chose TDK
Happy with that as he will take over the Ruck position and can play forward

Very happy with TDK, excited about his upside

Just still staggers me that Constable slid so far

 

[Prem17]

Thanks B70, he'd be a great pick up for the club.

Should have taken him in his draft year. (Not the year he was first eligible, the draft that Sydney took him in).

 

[Arr0w]

Carlton leading the race for Darcy Cameron

Will be a solid pick up, despite some of the sentiment on this board

 

[bigblueboy]

Interest in Ainsworth is legitimate. But he ain’t coming this year.

High half-forward who presents up the ground, but also drags his opponent deep in the forward 50 on fast turnovers and creates havoc in the air and on the ground. Also great forward nous at forward 50 stoppages.

Basically the role Lang/Dow were playing in the second half of the season - except he'll be able to execute that role at a much higher level.

We will find out. At worst he will be handy you would think. Little strange though how Sydney seem to be without a genuine ruck a fair bit and not playing him.
