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.

Luke Hodge has impressed me this season

Especially his lack of time for Bt's rubbish.

Bullet dodged

Wrong Ellis

what would have been bad for morale is keeping Dow and LOB in the team after such low energy performances. They were legitimately going at 75% (generously). No one should have expected huge possession numbers, but they should have been playing like men possessed after waiting that long for their chance. Instead they treated it like a captains run.

If Im Dow and I see we’ve recruited Williams with an intention to play mid minutes - that should tell me something. They’re recruiting a guy to be at the stoppage, combination of extracting it / getting the first handball to burst and spread... wasn’t that my gig? Better listen to Diesel, Paddy.

Yeah that's a fair point. But they are still kids. Murph is supposed to be a leader and he wasn't going 100% either at times.

Paddy and LOB need to pull their finger out next year and show something.

Wrong Ellis. It's Corey Ellis who was delisted.

So many wraps on him in his draft year...only to amount to very little.

Not referring to the delisting of Corey but yes the second point is right

Was waiting for someone to post that.

How many have you watched, historically?

From 1st game and you?

 

[ferrisb]

Everyone hates us , the media, the umpires, the AFL, half of our supporters, what are we to do?

Ignore the **** out of them.

 

[ferrisb]

What we need is for one of you guys to trawl through 5 years worth of ITK posts and determine who has the best hit rate. I’ll sit here and wait patiently for the results.

Is there a proctor in the house?

Dravid's in Jimmae zeeCFC

 

[Triniboy]

You really think it is as black and white as this?

The circumstances of COLA allowed them to bring in Buddy and maintain relevance in a premiership window. He helped the get to a GF, kept them in the media for sponsors and kept the turnstiles ticking over in Sydney and elsewhere. He is marquee.

You seem very concerned about money etc.

Yes, all clubs including me are...club caps have a will be reduced further...football is business...clubs need to look at their bottom line after each season.

 

[Triniboy]

Williams.

 

[TommyPinch]

Jesse Joyce delisted by Goldcoast. Now i am wary of picking up weak clubs delistings but this kid has a crack and is a Back pocket. If we miss out on other main defensive targets we could do worse then rookie this bloke.

Only so much recruiting Eddie can do I suppose.

Dravid's in Jimmae zeeCFC

Yeah that's usually my go to. Someone posts a rumour and I skim their history or have just been able to watch while they've posted.

 

[ferrisb]

Why would anyone want Ben Brown?

Coz....goals?

 

[tencentpiece]

North are the main ones after JSOS, also interested in Kennedy (Essendon also interested in Kennedy and another club). JSOS much more likely to go for a token pick. North have an 3 year offer on the table for him.

 

[Triniboy]

You may not believe he is worth it but, the market demands it and he has a skill set we need, in spades.

market prices/player payments are on the slide....salaries are heading south...he isn't a week in week out proven in and under onballer...half back yes.

Would you say JSOS is open to leaving at this stage?

Happy to keep jack, but don’t think we should be offering him more than a 1 year deal. If he wants the security of a 3 year deal, he can walk with no hard feelings

I know your question isn’t for me but I would say he is very open to leaving. His dad is no longer with the club and his brother has been delisted.

I also don’t know how likely the club would draft Tom with all that has happened.

Judd also mentored Merrett

As did Diesel, fmd get him in a navy polo immediately.

3 year offer from North or what I assume is a 1 year offer from us...can understand JSOS choosing North for the sake of his career.

Kennedy should probably move as well...he'd be a starting inside mid at North/Essendon but is stuck behind Cripps/Setterfield here.

Kennedy for Saad
JSOS for Ben McKay

Straight trades. Git r done Austin.
