Bluemour Melting Pot XX - Snark Free Zone

[HBF]

If it makes it easier for the less patient, I’m happy to not share what I know.

Things don’t run to BF timelines, minor details change, which creates delays, including pick swaps, $, marketing opportunities.

Eddie will be at Carlton as will Papley & Martin.

We will have next year’s 1st pick after these deals land.

I’m still confident with what I’ve shared. Take it or leave it.

Ciao

Well said OR.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I would genuinely like some of you lot to get an actual look at the machinations that go into these deals/trades/swaps/pick-splits/upgrades etc - do yers have any idea how many people are involved with these things? how many aspects of a person's life are affected? from every part of a player's partner's life through to the myriad of calls that need to be made once an offer to change clubs is made? property, schooling, career opportunities for partners, family of origin, medical issues, the sad little kids to placate, on and on...……….

Sure a lot of this stuff is done after the deal goes through, but there still remains a shitload of decisions to be made and it would rarely happen that things aren't held up by just a single, simple thing like someone that needs the ok she can get a posting interstate with her job, or a school admission issue or perhaps the property market is tighter than expected.

Then there's the stuff that goes on between the players, managers, coaches and list managers. The stuff that no-one hears about. The complex deals on picks, the tele-conferencing that doesn't happen because Justin is bogged at Westlakes and has not much to deal with anyway.

Hiccups, hold-ups, hang-ups, egos, stubborn fools, greedy guys, people's lives, careers, education, housing, family, medical - also footy. Please just remember you clowns, you galoots, you festering goobers - this ain't easy and this ain't no disco...…...

I agree but shut up.

Strongly doubt it has been scheduled yet.

What about the car shitters?

 

[Dadda Dave]

If I go and shit a 4b2 in me car will everyone get along?

 

[tencentpiece]

The sense of entitlement on this board is out of control. People share info they have and even if it's correct if it's what people don't want to hear they get slammed. Then if something changes they get slammed, then if it doesn't happen fast enough it gets slammed.

If you work yourself up into such a frenzy that it makes you this upset, maybe you shouldn't read this thread.

My understanding is that we will get three deals done tomorrow, but it's impossible to know for certain due to the number of other clubs and moving pieces involved.

I'm done sharing info as there is literally no upside, enjoy the rest of trade week.

 

[thylacine60]

What about the car shitters?

wtf is a car shitter? is that like a post splitter?

 

[spry]

At least you know they will pay too much for it.

[emoji23]

the wall would likely end up getting someone else to pay it less.

The squeakiest wheel gets the grease.

Rumour sharers, please don't be discouraged by the vocal minority. There are many just sitting back, watching and appreciating. Just look at the likes compared to the responses.

You forgot to mention we are being impacted by Essendon, the worst trading team in the comp.

 

[smashbox gill]

Can we just straight ban people who attack the ITK! Im sick and tired of it

 

[thylacine60]

then get the **** on it please...….

[Bearded Carpenter]

Is that an actual expression? or are you just looking for a reason to shit in your car?

33% 1st, 92% 2nd

 

[VainGlorious]

I think this thread needs another gif story.

Tomorrow morning, your wish is my command.

For all those who don’t like lame as gifs, the reasoning behind it is we may have young folk reading and the “less lame” gifs may offend and or contravene site rules...

Food for thought.

One lame gif parade coming up.

This old fart needs some sleep first though

I work in administration and people never expect how many things need to be lined up to make something happen in a big organisation.

How many people need to be looped in, how many jobs need to be handed off, how many stakeholders need to give the ok.

The impatience here reminds me of the old customer thought bubble "can't we just push it through?"

What the bloody hell do you think I am doing? Pushing takes effort, and time. Sometimes things have to go slow, other things come up.

Then the boss drops in and changes priorities and we drop everything for a couple of hours.

Organising things is hard. Trades and contracts and negotiations are hard.

Really appreciate what you’ve been able to share with us so far and hope that maybe you’d reconsider your decision to depart.

Every single tidbit of info shared by ITK posters always get 50+ likes, we obviously all appreciate the information greatly. There's too much focus on the one or two people that are unnecessarily negative, these negative people exist on pretty much every single forum on the internet.

 

[BluesTragic]

Sorry peeps...

Apparently you’re number 2

Cmon mate i get your frustration but you surely know that the vast majority love having you as a poster here and i see many posters thank you. I also see many posters defending the ITK's. There is upside.

It's only a few that are impatient and self-entitled...you'll always get a few. Not worth paying attention to.

 

[Thurlo]

What self righteous crap. So bloody ungrateful, as are 90% of the posters on here. We give whatever info we’re comfortable to disclose on a PUBLIC forum. We’re under no obligation to do it at all but do so as a favour to our fellow blues supporters.

Yet impatient children like yourself say “that’s not what I want - I want more”. Or “it didn’t come true so you must have lied”.

The arrogance is astounding...

Not 90%. Just a vocal minority. Most are able to accept the little bits and pieces we get are all we can have, and can even understand that this time of year in particular, situations are constantly changing/evolving so when things don't work out we don't attack our info supply.

Ignore the crying. Personally it would be better for me timewise for everything to have been done by the first Monday afternoon, however... Realism.
