When is the draw released? I’d be pretty nervous if GC picks depend on where we finish. Might be the first Bottom 4 side to play all 8 finalists twice

Melbourne have pick 2, they would probably pick Martin in PSD

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
They've never spoken to him, are reportedly close to cap, don't have a need for him, and just signed Tomlinson who pretty much plays a similar role?

The truth sometimes arrives on horses. 🐎
Pies have a midfielder with no. 7. (Just a thought)
FFS the seven year thing was a clear reference to Grundy, can we please stop trying to solve a non-existent riddle?

Do recall hearing we were pursuing Grundy to drive up his price and force out a Collingwood mid....

Good strengthens our position.

Crouch publicly testing the market. Surely it's him. Teague and Betts connection.
If it's bringing back Gibbs I'll be furious.

I have just one, but with eight to spare, I am usually friendly, but I sometimes act like I don't care. What am I?
No way would Treloar leave the Pies - he loves it there and is integral to their midfield, culture and everything else. Bleeds black and white and couldn't be tighter with Buckley.
No way would Sloane leaves the Crows - he is their sole captain now and if he didn't want to be there anymore he would've stepped down like Tex did, getting himself ready for a move.
No way would Grundy leave to come to us this year - he is getting heat from Adelaide and he will not cross town for a few extra $$$ (that Eddie could match with a 3rd party agreement anyway). Collingwood would also not deal with us and if so, we wouldn't have the currency to land him.
The above 3 are an absolute pipe dream and next to zero chance of happening, I would've thought.

Relax. It'll be Crouch or a lad from Melbourne. I don't think it's any of the above 3, despite comments a while ago that we had early discussions with Grundy.
Key hint was they approached us. Crouch approached GCS. Very plausible it's him. But he doesn't fit the "hasn't been mentioned" criteria....
It wasn't here was it?
Bluemour Discussion Thread XVI - Facts Not Welcome
Sure, if we finish 15th and they finish 6-8, then we can put the pitchforks away and justify the trade, even if the personnel don’t work out. But as of now, that seems unlikely. Wait and see I guess. Anyway, I only raise it in an attempt to understand why SOS may be out if rumour has any truth...

Turned out that the poster has no inside info.
And was traded for 2 x Pick 7s
Like my wife says about me - we just like to do things the hard way rather than the simple way.
Maybe its the thrill of the challenge

I can understand overpaying players to come to you as free agents.
But overpaying in cash AND also paying full whack at the trade table for a contracted player.
Double OUCH.
Oh, just read he's been playing with a meniscus tear.....TRIPLE OUCH.

Not sure why they are half encouraging Josh Bruce to walk out on the club.
Unless they are very confident on trading for Ben King in addition to Max making it big.
Seems they are giving up a bird in the hand for two in the bush...

not only are they willingly letting Bruce walk, they’re now talking about deserving a high draft pick for him!

True - but if you were Papley would you rather play at Carlton (everyone wants to go there) or * (everyone is leaving)????
Papley will get himself to Carlton.
Can you start taking October’s off and “volunteering” at Blues.
Not sure SOS needs much help - but “many hands make trades happen easier” or some crap like that........

I was blind.
One-trick pony, I said. Was useless beyond contested marking, I said.
Then he slimmed down and 2019 happened.
Now I feel like the guy that paid for a pizza night in bitcoin back in 2010....

I know this post was meant in jest but
in all seriousness though, it could actually work out that way.
Lets say we finished in between 8-12th next year giving us pick 10-14.
Hypothetically we’d lose say pick 10-12 (hopefully) for Jack Martin and pick 19-21 depending on academy picks if there are any, and/or free agent compensation that may occur.
I think that’s a win for everyone, if not slightly skewed in our favour.
If this darn thread stopped moving so fast I could do a KohPhi style gif parade.
I’ll skim through and see what I can muster, just for a laugh
