Bluemour Melting Pot XX - Snark Free Zone

Butler will be looked at if 1 of the 3 fall through. Not priority at this stage, things can change.

There may be another big fish up sos' sleeve that we all don't know about. Id love to drop the name but Id get shot at. He is an interstate player

I wonder if this is Arrow’s man?

 

[Heres Waite]

Where Arr0w at?

Snap!

 

[Bluesome]

Snap!

May be Tom Cutler who we were reportedly interested in...though not sure he qualifies as a 'big fish'

Mystery player contracted or uncontracted?

Aw, c'mon man, don't be like that... I, for one, will not shoot at you!

We have offered a late 2019 pick and want ADL to pay 50% of Eddie's salary

If they accept he will be a Blue again

Papley and Martin looking good?

 

[Sam The Doc]

Would be making some tough decisions if we were to get another big player this trade period!

 

[BigBreakfast]

Assuming that PSD avenue exists, don't really need to enforce anything; the threat of doing so should be enough to motivate a settlement on both sides, I doubt they, or the AFL, would reject a 2nd round pick and invite risk to the greater good. Besides, given his history, a 2nd rounder is fair compensation

And we want to show Jack that we value him and want him on board given he nominated us. Might send a bit of a message that, if you want to be a Blue, we will pay a fair price to get you and appreciate your interest. Lachie Whitfield? Next big fish? Jack has been in the grinder, I hope he can thrive in an environment that values his skills and person. GC clearly hasn't.

I’d rather Butler over Betts.

Happy to sacrifice Eddie’s leadership & 35 goals for the 20 goals & good forward pressure of Butler.

I'd take Eddie over Butler no probs at all.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

A Gaff is used to help get big fish into the boat!

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Maybe we're on the Teague Trawler!

Are there that many big fish out there though that aren’t sliding down on age/performance?

Someone like a E.Yeo would be one out of left field and perfect fit for our midfield.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I am simply guessing the mystery interstate player is Jacob Hopper, because he has been on top of Elmer's Wabbit Season list for a while now

what about a little Scottish lord? any chance?
or a good vintage drop?

 

[Faz 2000]

Someone like a E.Yeo would be one out of left field and perfect fit for our midfield.

Would cost a trillion dollars and picks. Not realistic I don't think.

I do think the Blues will make a surprise play, though, for someone not yet mentioned (or openly available).

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

on the money

 

[HBF]

Deserve?

Yep

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Aw, c'mon man, don't be like that... I, for one, will not shoot at you!

I’ll shoot at whoever is shooting at c09....

 

[Stamos]

Yep

Very interesting choice of word, and I'm not sure how it fits?

Also, see Sin's post. Lays it out pretty clearly.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

One of those unverified accounts, yet still far more credible than Tom Browne

 

[smashbox gill]

Maybe the mystery player Jye Caldwell

I don't think this is the standard we want to be settling on for this board.
Surely we can aim for better?

 

[Michael Jezz]

Gaff trade gets eagles enough currency for kelly. Maybe gaff for next years 1st with a 2nd rounder coming back. Next years first plus pick 14 ontraded for kelly and a geelong player or pick.

Cheers mate. Can the contract not just be renegotiated to be separate from his existing Crows one i.e. he simply accepts less cash to play for us and Crows are off the hook? Surely there's a clause somewhere.
