Bluemour Melting Pot XXI - Like seriously, the polar ice caps have got nothing on us

[AT97]

"We're hopeful on Papley"

"We're hopeful on Jack Martin"

"Won't necessarily go down to the wire, hopefully happens quicker rather than later"

"In discussions with Hawthorn for Pittonet, hopeful we can get that done"

Stephen "The Hopeful" Silvagni

Standard line by sos. Probably would still say the same thing if asked Betts.

 

[RPCB]

I just saw this on the news. There was more to it, before the quote he basically said Martin might be an easier get than Papley. Also joked that he’ll give Jack Martin a call.

Agent Betts has a nice ring to it.

Round 1 Carlton vs Richmond
Kreuzer wins the tap down to cripps who win the first clearances handball out to Walsh who kicks is long to center half forward McGovern and Curnow fly for the mark ( McGovern puts his knee in the back of Rance head ) balls comes to ground Papley roves it brilliantly handballs over the top to Eddie who shrugs off grimes snaps around the corner and kicks the first goal of the yr and 50 thousand Carlton supporters erupt

Make that 75 thousand Blues members

That's the preference ATM.

I thought Anthony Tcdonald-Mipungwuti re-signed?

 

[MrJimmy]

That’s trade talk, but the kid has dominated at VFL level but is way way behind Ceglar.

He is a decent tap ruckman and when he tackles he hurts them, but he is lumbering and for a Big guy he has very small hands (that’s a Hawk board in joke about his inability to take a mark)

We also have young Reeves on our rookie list who is developing nicely.

My take on it was they were fattening him up for a trade and now they have a bite.

Oh good... for a second there i thought he was going to be the next Max Gawn

2 days out and all we have secured is an ageing Eddie.
Hope this period ends up with what we want otherwise a failure.
No Wines as well not worth it.

Have you considered a career as a “motivational speaker”??

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

i want MARTIN

It will happen. Just hang in there.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

I can't believe how underrated wines is on this board. Not in the tippy top list of Afl best players but the boy knows how to football and would be a fantastic pick up.

Absolutely. Papley is good but Wines is another level.

 

[murphster]

I think Bombers would be mad not to take 5&9 from Syd for Daniher and then on trade them to try and land Wines which is exactly what they need, more so than us, would have to be bat shit crazy not to look at something like that, then again dodo is an imbecile that is prone to idiotic moves like keeping Daniher and losing him next year to free agency. Either way as long as we still get Papley I don’t care if they all curl up in a dark corner and die.

Welcome home Edward I have missed you greatly you little champ you.

Not a 6 year old scotch?

 

[BIuebagger]

Martin and Pittonet done by COB tomorrow would be ideal to make sure we can have all our attention getting Papley over the line on deadline day.

OK IF YOU SAY SO.

You don't fatten someone up to get a 4th round pick.

 

[Wickzki]

Got decent oil, AB? Can you elaborate on the cost - future 2nd/3rd perhaps?

Looks like the Wickzki musing/suggestion/mail earlier was bang on.

 

[Funk]

Safely assume it wouldn’t be cheap.

Contracted, captain and unexpected.

Anything less than a 1st and 2nd round draft pick would be very unlikely.

“assume” is the key word here.

Wines fell out of favour late in the year at PA.

Also talk that Port will run with 1 x Captain this year (not Wines).

Also whispers that there is disharmony in the club.

Do they really want to keep a $800K per year player on their books when they have too much grunt and not enough run?

Assumptions are silly.

Always best to ask the questions - sometimes the answers will surprise you.

 

[LanceRomance]

I bet kochie is furious.

 

[Heres Waite]

It will happen. Just hang in there.

And Paps ...?

 

[Coops93]

What I've read about Pittonet so far makes me think of Mumford. I'm pretty happy with that, so long as he isn't out purely to hurt like Mummy and plays fair.

Done and done!

(Might have a beer later, too!)

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Almost home.

Can no one post until my kids are in bed ~830?

Thanks

You should get them to read the posts to you as homework....

Fill in the book as Big Footy - blumour thread page 100 to 7000

 

[RoyalParade]

My bet is the big deals will fall tomorrow, small fry Wednesday

 

[slashin_velvet]

Because Big Boi Pittonet doesn't rhyme...

Big Bae Pittonet does....
