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.

Awesome, Williams is a great get. Equally needed in the back half and midfield, though landing Saad would change that.

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

Hence why we'd be trading our 1st for points, or fringe players like Schache, Dale, etc.

Not Hunter for a 2nd lmao

How are you trading your first for points. You’re not making up 2400 points without losing an A grader.

 

[katmanblue]

Still stumped about BSOS.

Since when us he a wicket keeper?

I would drive Stocker and pick 7 to Tullamarine myself for Merrett.

Merrett is 2 first rounders

 

[Bronze]

Assuming Ollie Wines is staying put, I'm hoping we are already working on Saad and Jye Caldwell.

I'd prefer we hang on to Pick 7 and see what Austin can do with it.

 

[HaydossJ]

No reason for Saad to our cost pick 25 (our second rounder or thereabouts).

Essendon got him from Gold Coast for a future 2nd rounder, Saad is three years older, our third rounder or future third rounder is more than enough.

Not sure if srs

 

[KohPhi]

Stocker is going to be twice the player that Merrett is.

Hill cost St Kilda more than he did Freo. That's what happens when a player improves at their second club.

Uh oh, King Charles about to be executed.

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Who says that Rankine has to be the final act?

We can keep Eddie on the books and using his relationships and influence to help us recruit indigenous guns for the next 20+ years!

Cyril, anyone?

 

[Mr_Plow]

Not sure if srs

He's 26, way past it, too old...

In all seriousness, Saad is worth a pick between 15-25, depending on how highly you rate him. Anyone who says pick 25+ is taking the ****ing piss.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Really hope more supporters come around to this kind of thinking.

I feel like so many people are terrified by being burnt by a player coming good elsewhere, rather than actually proactively improving the side.

We have too many young mids, it's okay to trade a talented player as long as you address areas of weakness.

When the rebuild started I don't think SOS, the club or anyone really thought every single draft pick would stay.

SOS loaded us up with young talent. Im sure he always planned for some to become trade collatoral for the pieces we need.

 

[Gethelred]

Bail out, KingCharles! You're flying too close to the sun!

 

[Funk]

I am so going on a Zac Williams highlight rampage when I get home.

just go to last years Preliminary final when he was played midfield.

25 possessions, 16 contested, 10 clearances, 6 tackles and 1 goal.

Get him as a Free Agent - and I’ll need my doctor friend to get me Valium to calm me down

Don’t really respect Robbo, but if this is untrue it’s an odd thing to make up.
Really hoping that it is not purely a financial decision. I know it appears that ZW has chosen us over NM, but I don’t want him to have regret about leaving as that means he won’t be fully invested in CFC.
Who knows?

I won’t be giving you the keys to the cash box.

Yeah definitely got to imagine a high teen pick is about the mark.

 

[ctwenty1]

Where is B70 ?

If barass70 doesn’t appear, is it safe to assume he was SoS?

Delete the post quick KC..

Execution
Charles put his head on the block after saying a prayer and signalled the executioner when he was ready by stretching out his hands; he was then beheaded with one clean stroke

[Juddalenko]

Fantastic start to our finals series - otherwise known as trade season. Hope and optimism eternal. Williams is exactly what we need, and I hope we play him in the guts!
Go Blues!

 

[I bleed Blue]

Officially official now. Good.

I'm still celebrating.

After the last few years this nomination just feels way too easy. Just feels weird.

Absolutely over the moon.

He runs around in circles and breaks the lines but his kicking is dodgy, for sure Essendon think the sun shines out of his proverbial, but if you want to give up a second rounder, by all means.

You wouldn’t catch SOS ponying up that sort of asset for a player like Saad.

It depends on the degree of salary cap squeeze that's happening up there, coupled with how much we actually offered.

If they could barely afford to give him above 400 a year, an offer of 600-700 is too good to refuse, and while going to Nth could net him 1 million + a year is it really worth going there to be a leader without prospects of success until very late in his career?

Gibbs serves as a none too subtle reminder of how quickly it can come for you at the end, and how fickle a rebuilding team can be with its senior players once fallen. Nth is a fraught endeavour for players at the moment, and 1 million a year or not, it's just figures to a young bloke who doesn't take active interest in their contract.
