Bluemour Melting Pot XXVI

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...

Exactly!

Yeah that's why I didn't post it in the Bluemour thread.

It cannot be understated how instrumental P Cripps has been in the C Oliver dealings - they have been in regular dialogue since contact was first made, and this has been crucial in relieving some of C Oliver’s worries about starting afresh at a new club. Discussions are at what you would call an “advanced” stage now, with final decisions coming soon. I reiterate that nothing is certain, a big decision to commit to, but P Cripps has certainly sold a brilliant vision of the club moving forward.

 

[Rosscoe]

Wrong.
See Luke Ball

Luke Ball nominated for the national draft; Saad has nominated Carlton.

Its not like we won't be drafting a few new kids anyway. Trade-wise we need some more as HBF says, good players in the 24-28 age bracket.

If everything else fall through, you'd still take Caldwell for a late first. Kid will be a jet.

Waiting for the commentary team to clumsily try not to refer to the replaced patch of grass as the G spot yet still make the “joke”.

You just know it’s going to happen, don’t you BT?

BT strikes me as the sort of oaf who has not got the first concept of where the G spot is or why he would ever care.

At this point we are offering everyone contracts wtf

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Trevor Keogh also....

Oh its a bit hard to tell from the picture Blueseum used.
I guess there is a red-tinge in this picture?




*Just looked, other pictures are definitely red.

I haven't caught up to the latest page so dunno if it's been mentioned yet but new account started today (take with large grain of salt) on the Scandals and Rumours board reckons Blues have offered Yeo $900k a year over 5. Not Bluemour worthy but I'm sure a few will want to discuss it anyway.

Would love Yeo!

Impressive draftee is Scarps61. Thanks very much for the information

 

[Stamos]

Luke Ball nominated for the national draft; Saad has nominated Carlton.

Ball requested a trade to Collingwood, and St Kilda didn't trade him. He then nominated for the National Draft, and Collingwood selected him with the pick (#30) which they would have traded for him.

Still haven’t got my call

 

[Brutalitops]

OOC players cannot enter the national draft; it has to be the psd where picks cannot be traded; so whoever finished below us can meet the terms set out by Saad and his team. But as we found out last year with Melbourne; Clubs would not spend that sort of coin on a player that did not want to be there. It would also piss off most of the playing group and definitely get under the supporters skin; wasting a fair pick and a nice chunk out of their cap to boot. After all of the posturing; Dodo and his cronies will take whatever we offer them (late first/early second for mine) if they do not want to further damage their clubs reputation.

This is incorrect.

Waiting on a few bags. Let’s make it a thing aye cuz

Sorry yes he can nominate for the national draft but could end up anywhere. He is not allowed to be bound to a club.

 

[Rosscoe]

This is incorrect.

yes Stamos pointed that out.

Same as the PSD...

What would this deal look like? Split 7 and trade the latter pick for Saad, with our early pick, our 2nd round and next years 1st going to Melbourne for Oliver? Or Kennedy + early 1st round?

Anyone actually know who wants out of Carlton? I'm suggestive of Kennedy not because I don't rate him - I actually like him as a player, but because if we get another strong midfielder he'd be the one player who'd be on the outer who would get a game at almost every other club, therefore he'd be one I'd imagine would leave for more opportunity.

Luke Ball nominated for the national draft; Saad has nominated Carlton.

Requested a trade to filth. A belligerent Ross Lyon 'made a stand' and refused a fair deal (pick 25 & 62). Pick 25 was coming from Norf, so the recalcitrance of Aints held up a lot of other deals.

PSD would have been risky, so the filth walked him through the ND for pick 30. Worked out well for Pies. Lyon got zilch and looked like a fool.

Yep, I reckon this is exactly how Saad will play out and it wouldn't surprise me if Lyon ended up at * very shortly. He and Dodo will be a perfect match. The faux audition played out with Lloyd over the last couple of weeks on Footy Classified has been nauseating.

 

[Rosscoe]

Same as the PSD...

I believe he will get to Carlton easier through the PSD for a number of reasons but yes he can nominate for the national draft which you were rightly corrected me on.

 

[Stamos]

I believe he will get to Carlton easier through the PSD, for a number of reasons.

What are the reasons?
I think clubs before us are much more likely to risk a PSD pick than a 1st rounder in the ND.

 

[FairKouta]

Are we really that hung up on pick 7 because we think we are getting another A grader and we will need it for that player?

I wouldn’t care so much for pick 7 if we weren’t chasing another A grader.
