Bluemour Melting Pot XXII

Does it worry anyone else that the guys who are in the high priced free agency wars seem to have pretty crap years after their mega-deal is done? Coniglio and Grundy haven't exactly set the world alight this year. Kelly hasn't seemed to become the next amazing midfielder that everyone thought...

As per the Bluemour File OP, this is a thread for discussing Carlton related rumours. http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/bluemour-file.1085141/ Rumour posters should post their rumours in both threads for those that like just to read rumours and for those that like to have get lost in their...

Just like to thank Aphrodite and the other Carlton mods who started the Bluemours NON Discussion Thread and who have kept it free of chat over the past few years.

It helps so much when you just don't have the time to read through this thread, cheers and great job.

Very positive the club can make hard decisions, if the 3rd veteran retires. Keep going the same for Mcgovern and Stocker, if the club sees fit. Cut our list losses, ruthless and move on.

Can we at least threaten to delist McGov, see if that has any impact.

Strange given the comments yesterday

 

[Juddrockz]

Has to be Betts I would think

I dont think its Eddie,just a gut feel. Time will tell though.

*large grain of salt alert

Robbo said on 360 he absolutely thinks Eddie should go around again, followed by he thinks he will

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Tell them we want Pav or they can GTFO

You clown, arsey...

 

[thylacine60]

yep - any arseclown knows it's pav or gtfo.........

Retiring player could be a number of guys, Eddie, Levi, even Lang

Silly season is definitely here..I love this time of year, so many crazy rumours floating around and getting discussed. I also hate this this of year, because there are so many crazy rumours floating around and getting discussed.

It's very interesting seeing the rumours, hypotheticals and opinions discussed around here..sometimes heatedly, and I just love it when we get a deal done.

This trade period is obviously going to be a very interesting one without SOS, and considering the fact that we're nearly there and need a couple/few more pieces of the puzzle.

Wouldn't be surprised if it were Levi. Has seemed very flat this year and lost form after 5 rounds. Does anyone know Levi's contract status?

Haha might have to use that more often

Kelly might be the only 1 I would risk it for although I'm not sure 2 x 1st with a second coming back for a guy with about 5 years in him is what I'm keen on at the stage where we are at...

I honestly believe 24 and under for all big trades, happy to do 2nds and 3rds for older.

Williams and Brad Crouch as FAs would be the dream. Graham, Caldwell and Witherden for 2nds. Done

I find it strange when you and others think he has 5 years left, if he comes to us next year, he will have completed 5 seasons with us and still only be 30, I don’t see 30 being old, so I’d say he would play 6-8 years.

I think it could be Levi or Murph,thats my guess.

 

[reg_lower91]

Hearing Zak Williams will definitely leave GWS. Genuine 50/50 between us and North at the moment. Essendon may go harder if Saad leaves.

 

[Gointocarlton]

I reckon Betts, Murph just re-signed so wont be him. They showed Eddie reunited with his clan after they arrived from out of quarantine today on Ch7 news, coincidence?

 

[Bostonian]

Paying a first round pick for a half back flanker is wasting the clubs draft capital.

I'd rather Nick Newman doing 80% of what Saad does and keeping the pick for a midfielder that helps move the dial for our on ball division.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Can we at least threaten to delist McGov, see if that has any impact.

Unfortunately, he's a lost cause. He's 26 now - going on 27 next year.

He won't be improving. With the amount of i50's we have he still can't get touches.

Good players bring themselves into the game... he can't.

One thing that I will mention, I've given Levi a bit of crap in the past, but if I were him I'd be filthy af at McGovern. Levi is a limited footballer and he had to work his chops off year after year to get the most out of himself. For him to turn around and see we have a bloke here who cbf and he's getting paid twice as much to do so must make him feel sick.

 

[Brackets]

Saad is probably worth more than what I'd like to see us pay in terms of picks. This is the sort of trade we could move on a player to fill an area of need for the team.

Thanks reg
Good to see you

If it's between us and Norf we've got nothing to worry about. Can't see them grabbing two FA's from GWS though, heard they've given Corr a decent offer too.

As for Essendrug, come on, what's with them. If they want a Williams type why not re-sign Saad? They're in desperate need for big bodied mids how stupid can they be.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Saad's contract is up. If Dodo pushes the club they're dealing with for more than he's worth and said club doesn't budge, they'll lose him for nothing.

 

[BIuebagger]

Williams is the better fit than Saad even if he costs us an extra couple of 100k salary wise. No paying up to DoDo, ZW being a year younger and also is competent to play midfield provides us with more variability. Also think he’s a better penetrating kick.
Although, we need a specialist HBF and both can be that player. I just think there’s more value with Williams being a FA and it’s more responsible rather than to pony up a high decent pick to meet the bummers demands and use it on our next target who might be high profile. If he walks maybe we out price others in the PSD like we did with Martin and front load first year?

The Papley one is weird, I’d take it that he’s staying but seems no one really knows if there’s murmurs of him going still.
