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

[AB_Blue]

Flip probably above a 50/50 chance to be Essendon’s no.1 ruck

Belcho is cooked and Clarke is 4th string
Draper untried and coming off injury

All the best to him as it’s never easy being second/third choice

Because we’d like them to play well as a collective forward line??

Are they separate to the rest of the forward line?

Why does anyone need a nickname?

I dont hate nicknames, I hate shit nicknames. Calling them shit like "the three amigos" or "Setantas little helpers" sounds gimmicky. As if they arent talented enough to let their skills speak for themselves and they need the added help of PR...

Other nicknames I hate:

The human meatball
The package
Delicious

And so forth. Dont be that guy. Dont repeat media's drivel.

 

[carlton09]

So is Daniher expected to leave now? Hope so.

We've been confident for a while now that it will get done. This time tomorrow we will all be happy with our weeks work

I was merely giving a reason as to why they may have been grouped together....

 

[GudOnya]

So Hawks paid the same for Patton as we did for Betts? About time they started getting shafted at the trade table.

Blokes done a knee 3 times, plays at 105 kegs and his primary skill is jumping.

A 50 year old Eddie would kick more goals than General "Soreness" Patton will.

[Dadda Dave]

Andrew Phillips for Joe Daniher.

Then Joe Daniher for Tom Papley.

I'd do it in a heart beat..
I hope flipper preparing to be used as a pin cushion ..

 

[carlton09]

Cutler to Essendon
You can wipe that off the list

 

[SickQwon]

Be fair guys, if someone offered you a promotion, you'd take it. Can't blame Flip for taking a bigger contract.

Wish him luck.

You are being very nice about this.

Pooling two mids and a forward together as some sort of triplet makes no sense outside of their shared heritage.

So yeah, this desire to call the group the new amigos etc. is well racist.

Now that I said that, and no doubt am about to get a bunch of flak for even daring to say it, I might return to reading rather than posting.

 

[Aphrodite]

Oi 2 x 1st rounders as well or we will make him stay and love the Club again.

You missed this one Funk

 

[BrianSetzer]

Don't mind Phillips moving on for more opportunities but why to the shittest team ever created. Can't bring myself to like him once there.

Blokes done a knee 3 times, plays at 105 kegs and his primary skill is jumping.

Hence why he be traded for not much. Buyer beware. Hawks are paying more for Patton than we are for Betts.
Patton would be on decent coin and GWS probably making Hawks pay most of it to allow for and the drat pick is of less importance in the trade.
If Hawks were not willing to pay most of Patton current contract , GWS would have asked for higher draft pick.
With Eddie we only got a one year contract with him and I bet SOS talked Eddie management to reduce what he going to be paid next year. Eddie will get less than he was on. Patton management would have not allowed Hawks to reduce his pay like we doing with Betts.

 

[RoyalParade]

OK how does this work, if a player wont sign a contract, is he a delisted free agent or does he have to go into the draft?

My guess is bonar. Giants delist him, like what happened with Lyons last year. We pick up the contract.

Nyet...

you been on long service leave? any developments today?

To which I asked a question. Honestly, our whole forward line as a unit (theres another I hate. Wasnt BT calling Bont that for a while there?) Is pretty exciting and hopefully works well in prwctise as it does in theory. Charlie, McKay, Papley, Betts, McGovern, and Martin has all the makings of a league defining success. Dont cheapenit with shitty nicknames

 

[Hands On]

I could totally see Dodoro all dressed up as Dr Frank N Furter

I could totally see DODO doing back stroke at the beach and setting off massive shark alerts.

 

[DJMacca]

One more night and we'll know the truth of this trade period. Dam it one more night surely we can land something 2morrow!

Maybe you missed the thread title, 'Snark Free Zone'?

Wish I could go on LSL. Bloody place will fall apart if did that now. Maybe in a year or three.
I had the forum equivalent though of avoiding indulging in speculation here for 6 days as knew not much would happen in that time. Next 24 hours was always the likely activity as happened last year. Although from recall there were even more trades up in air last year than this. Last year final day and final hours were nuts. Was fun watching it on Fox Footy at time on holidays in Queensland.

 

[smashbox gill]

If GWS need bonar off the books and can’t get rid of him, bonar & Caldwell for future 1st

 

[myblueroan]

2 first rounders and AMT is the starting point...

Stuff that.
We give 'em nuffin' and we walk out of there with AMT or the whole deal is OFF.
They will take that
And they will...
( starting to learn BF C. Lingo )

 

[Benaly28]

barass70 I’m guessing Betts, Martin, Papley and Pittonet will be our business hopefully done by the deadline??

appreciate the tidbits, you’re a champ

We don’t ‘champ’ here especially the king.

Agree with this - 28 year old, can't blame him chasing opportunity...if he stayed at Carlton, would always be second choice to Kruez. Played some good games for us but was in a difficult position continuity wise, also not being able to be sole ruck at VFL level either...

Hope he does well at the dons (just not against us)!
