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...

Oliver rumour is true.. wants to come to us Melbourne not happy with he’s attitude off field.

Thanks B70
Rumours about his attitude appears have been around for a while....bit of a concern but hopefully if he comes we can keep on top of it.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

The demand will be Weitering/ Walsh/ Curnow level, and they will mean it.

Wines?

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

It's fine for them to demand those guys and McKay, but the reality is that all of them are contracted. We just say "Thank you but Harry wants to honour his contract, here take these shiny draft picks instead."

Could see us losing a couple players elsewhere first to assemble enough for Oliver and Saad, just a question of who...

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

They can have Wines and Big Ben from NM.

Yep, hopefully we can provide them with the blue chip draft picks that allow them to bring in other mature guns. Will be very hard to get the deal done though.

He's also contracted though.

 

[Arr0w]

Which deal is going to be tougher? The Saad deal or the Oliver deal?

Oliver

 

[SurreyBlue]

Melbourne will ask for the farm and I have no confidence unless we do something absolutely ridiculous ala Judd trade.

 

[james Dean]

If we have to give up Walsh, McKay, Curnow or Weits, then why would we consider this?

Unless Harry wants to leave why would we trade away the few good players we have?

Melbourne don’t need draft picks and will tell us to stick them up our ass (rightly so).

I don’t see any way this gets done, at least this year

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

He's also contracted though.

Yeah for sure. But if they're happy to move him for attitudinal reasons etc they might eventually relent and take the picks rather than be stuck with a disgruntled player.

 

[fishncripps]

Forget Oliver......

 

[barass70]

Saad deal should be done early.

 

[4thchicken]

The demand will be Weitering/ Walsh/ Curnow level, and they will mean it.

Given the difficulty with we've had with his knees, I'd consider trading curnow but would probably want something coming back the other way

 

[I bleed Blue]

A year is a long time in footy.

Last year GWS were playing off for a flag and Gold Coast were a basket case

12 months later GWS is mass exodus and Gold Coast suddenly have one of the best young lists in the AFL

 

[AB_Blue]

I’d give us a 40% chance of pulling this off....

2 first won’t be enough for Melbourne to sell this to their members......

 

[chunkylover53]

Yeah for sure. But if they're happy to move him for attitudinal reasons etc they might eventually relent and take the picks rather than be stuck with a disgruntled player.

They might be shitty with him now but I doubt when it comes to crunch time they'll be happy to move him on.

I'll predict they'll talk to us initially, realise they won't be able to get one of our stars and then decide to keep in. Oliver gets a big wake up call, they keep their best player, itso facto.

He's only 22, their situation can't be unsalvageable surely.

 

[Burgers45]

Yes but he could be our dickhead...we haven't had a proper one in ages...

Which dickheads are you referring to that we have had at the club? Probably worst one would be Bootsma?

 

[Tjblues]

It's fine for them to demand those guys and McKay, but the reality is that all of them are contracted. We just say "Thank you but Harry wants to honour his contract, here take these shiny draft picks instead."

I took that to mean they would demand the same sort of compensation as we would if one of those guys wanted to leave us.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Oliver isn't the problem at Melbourne. It's their wannabe coach looking for scapegoats. Has form on that.

 

[BIuebagger]

Saad deal should be done early.

This sounds good to me Barass. Is this now changed due to them having so much business to do that Dodoro can’t mess about bartering?

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

You will get over it, we all ended up loving Daisy

Did we?

 

[Juddrockz]

It makes me chuckle when all the ITK's sneak in at the same time.
Crickets for days,no rumours..... SOS comes out bleating his case in the media. 48 hours later all the ITK's casually drop in with the same bombshell.
Interesting to see if this ends up being another Shiel/Cogs scenario.
Time will tell and at least it takes the focus away from the SOS scenario.
Precision timing.

and our 2021 1st round pick should at least be put on the table for Clarry (it will take more than that, but its a good starting point for discussions I would have thought)

Enough with Dow already

 

[lex3191]

Well... I do believe kingcharles, called this a few weeks back.

Oliver isn't the problem at Melbourne. It's their wannabe coach looking for scapegoats. Has form on that.

A Melbourne exodus too? Hannan and Preuss want out.. talk of both McDonald and Oliver also.

 

[I bleed Blue]

The demand will be Weitering/ Walsh/ Curnow level, and they will mean it.

Sure. Here's pick 7. Go draft your own.
