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

[barass70]

Thanks again b70, that would be a great outcome...and pick up a young gun in the ND as well

Yep

 

[Rustica]

Suns aren’t going to overpay to keep a player who has wanted out for the last 2 years.. I don’t think that would go down well with the AFLPA also

So you mean he couldn't have trumped another deal for another player, I dunno, say like another team did with Shiel?

Lol.
Which player?

 

[JustaBattler]

In principle, Swans must have accepted if it was on the table for Daniher. We have made an assessment (after considering other options) that keeping #9 was preferred to anything else. I doubt that our list management sat around for the trade period waiting for a phone call from the Swans (or the Suns).

As for other targets. Who else wanted to come to Carlton?

I dont understand what you are saying here Robbbo.

 

[FRUMPY]

What's this "hopefully" rubbish?

We're relying on hopefully now?

Its not 100% certain but id say 90% - rather take the chance than get bent over (personally dot give a hit if we get him or not - im not sold on him as a player - all the talent but massive queries on effort)

 

[BigBreakfast]

I take it you wouldn't read SOS comments in the media today...

Listen to him on GueSEN and he said Wines names was never put on the table by Port or management officials. Lexically challenged by choice but, this will do me for evidence.

To be honest, I'm more comfortable with 'hopefully' than the usual 'lock it in, 100% done deal' types of statements.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Most of their list - it's pretty widely reported that they're "overpaying" just about all their players in an effort to keep them at the club.

Exhibit A - B Ellis!

 

[HBF]

Its tough to grasp apparently

I don't know how many times I need to repeat myself lol

 

[DangerousD]

Wasn't available for trade.............................

This line cracks me up, wasn’t available for trade, yet SOS spends 10 days trying to do the trade.

Being available if................ is different to being, not available.

 

[lily of laguna]

Geeeeeeezzzzzzzz, that doesn’t mean 9 was offered on its own, does it?
Imo our offer for Papley was fair, but not overs, if we wanted him, I think we should have made a better offer earlier, to try force the Swans hand.
Instead SOS allowed his time to be wasted by the Bombers and thus missed out on all others that were available.

Do you know what the offer was? You think it was fair but not overs..........mmmm......... could have been either.
The point is Sydney went to Dodo and said here is 5 and 9, can we have Daniher?
Dodo replied......'but you don't have 9, carlton does', to which Syd say.....'oops ya got me there!!!!!!! No wonder you get paid the big bucks Dodo!!!'

 

[BigBreakfast]

In fairness, I haven’t read anywhere that we offered 9 on its own for Paps. Everything was with a second coming back. It’s entirely possible that SOS out a price and didn’t go above it.

I would be disappointed if we didn’t offer 9 on its own.

In the end, it didn't matter, which we weren't privy to. Much like 90% of the information out there, despite the best intentions of our valued ITK posters. Swans were never going to deal Papley without Daniher coming in. Harley made that clear first hand on GueSEN.

 

[Bostonian]

Lol.
Which player?

If we're going to massively front end a contract, I'd rather have had Brad Hill than Martin.

 

[Mondyboy]

Just bumped into Newman, Harry and Cottrell up here in Burleigh Heads (Gold Coast). Didn't ask about Paps. My 9-year-old did most of the talking. Harry is lovely.

The fact people argue against that line is hilarious - Papley wasn't available for trade unless the daniher trade went through but nuffies keep saying 'why didn't we offer pick 9, we would have got papley' - um, no we wouldn't have. Swans were straight up about that

SOS spent time working out a trade that works when/if the daniher deal went through, which Sydney agreed to as they were offering pick 9 to Essendon.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Martin will be a Carlton player..Suns and Demons will not draft him in psd...FACT!!..

I agree. They can't afford for it not to happen.

Never seen you use the word fact before, and so emphatic too.

 

[FRUMPY]

If we're going to massively front end a contract, I'd rather have had Brad Hill than Martin.

When did hill say he wanted to come to Carlton? Players need to agree to terms before being traded or in 'make believe world' where any suggestion you make is easily achievable?

Id rather have Dustin Martin than Hill, makes as much sense as your comment

 

[DangerousD]

Butler played 7 games this year
Taylor played 5.

They are both nothing players.

Depends how you look at it, I wouldn’t call either, nothing players, Butler averages more than a goal a game and Taylor has 88 goals in just over 100 games. Both were cheap and would be an upgrade on several players on our list. I’m not fussed we didn’t get them, my post was more about posters criticising these two, both of which have quite a few of our players in similar positions covered.

 

[Sin City]

Martin will be a Carlton player..Suns and Demons will not draft him in psd...FACT!!..

Great news. Martin for free and a gun at pick 9. Good result!

 

[HBF]

With Betts playing Small Forward I reckon Gibbons could have a fair go at the other Wing as well.

And if Cuningham can get his body right next year, he and Betts could be a handful up forward

 

[Robertio]

Not doubting your information, but I just find this one too hard to believe.

Simple Jimmy, you don't have to believe it. I do.

Would be an excellent result and there'd be a fair few BF goobers with egg on their faces after last night's tantrums

OOHHHHHH......Adam Sandler in a DRAMA? NOW I get why people tell me to stick to the one-liners....

Theres talk of his latest dramatic performance being oscar worthy....no, im not joking.


Reign over me was a solid performance too.

 

[DangerousD]

Sydney.

Were.

Offering.

Pick.

Nine.

To.

Essendon.

Clear indication that whatever we'd lined up for Papley was acceptable to them provided it would secure Daniher.

Does that mean it was offered on its own does it?
I’m slowly moving on from this, it would have been nice to try get a deal done independently from the * crap, asking whether pick 9 on its OWN was offered or more, may have tempted Sydney to do a deal, if it was early enough then they would have had time to chase a replacement.
