Bluemour Melting Pot XXVII

[Aphrodite]

$300K A YEAR over five years is what I expected from a BF hypothetical, not from Collingwood.

If true, it's pretty clear that Treloar staying at Collingwood is not feasible.

I only hope this drops late enough that Dogs don't have time to trade out Dunkley to *...

THIS!

 

[murphster]

These idiots on trade radio now trying to justify Esso don not giving up a first for Caldwell, what happened to if that’s all you’ve got and you don’t have anything else, hypocrites.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Can't see LOB being traded

Depends on the offer.

Macreadie going nowhere - will be at Carlton next season.

Well played Pav

Anything else lol

Thanks again OR ... this I like ...

 

[SurreyBlue]

We would be silly to trade Macreade but then again, what do I know when it comes to trades.

 

[El Topo]

Is he that quick?

Doesn't look anything special in the speed department when sighted during infrequent senior appearances.

He's not lightning off the mark, but was previously a middle distance record holder. Went on some good runs in late 2019.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

So both the rumoured possible outs are staying.

Sounds like that's it for us then?

 

[Pinnell]

Trade O’Brien and a whatever for Trelour

 

[Bring on Vinnie]

Very happy with this.

The problem we have had at Carlton for many years is that we expect our young players to come in and make an impact straight away and if they don't then they are not worth persisting with. Players like LOB (+ even Dow & Stocker) are going to need some time to develop before they are ready to play AFL. Just look at Richmond, because they are so successful there draftees have 2-3 years to quietly develop in the VFL before they are rarely seen at AFL level, does anyone get concerned? Nope because they are not AFL ready.

We are getting to this stage where competition for spots is at a decade high and we don't need these players to play every week and show something straight away.

Looking at LOB, he's clearly not ready physically in terms of his body shape for AFL level. He needs to put on some size. Some players take longer to develop but someone with his running capacity and foot skills is worth persisting with. I wouldn't be writing him off yet.

Just remember Weitering, so many people were writing him off even though he was barely 21 because he wasn't showing anything at AFL level. Now look at him.

This x 10!

This I like. Can see him becoming a very good key back.

WOW. Just wow.

I'm actually hoping they do land Dunkley...

It'll cost them dearly and he's not going to take them to the promise land as good as he is...

They'll remain middle range for the next 8 years.

If they don't get him, chances are they'll bottom out and have no choice but to commit to a full rebuild which I don't want them doing. I like them living in their delusional fantasy land where they're always a chance to make finals.

They kept Moore, doesn't mean much if your slightly ahead of two super ordinary footballers.

Moore's not a KPD. Not sure what he is, to be honest, but if he's the last bloke on the list that doesn't bother me too much given he seems to actually contribute week in, week out for the 2's.

I'm just saying, if the club saw Macreadie as a broken list clogger, he'd have been delisted. He wasn't delisted, ergo the club presumably feel he has more potential than Goddard and BSOS despite his injury history. Nothing to do with your opinion of him, or mine, just how it would appear the club rate him.

 

[Bostonian]

He's not lightning off the mark, but was previously a middle distance record holder. Went on some good runs in late 2019.

Which is weird as watching him on the wing in a game he showed average pace and stamina when an opposition player ran away from him.

I just don't see the physical tools others seem to attribute to him.

 

[camcanchris]

Congratulations, you're in the running for lamest post of the year.

 

[Jabba73]

Matter of opinion of course. I see a young Gary Crane.
Takes time though to get a frame to get through games for wiry lads. 2 more preseasons and he will be there. And thats the case with the majority of youngsters. At 21 they are just starting out.

Yes please. Had the pleasure of getting to know him a bit several years ago, lovely bloke. Apparently was as hard as a cats head and a terror to play on. Stan Alves rated him his toughest opponent in a radio interview

 

[Blue and Blue]

Big call comparing to Crane ... I’ve seen nothing to suggest anything near that level ... would love nothing more than to see massive improvement in him though ...

I always look for who the current ones remind me of in style and physique. Young Crane was injured a bit also as a reward for going in with courage.

Or these much-vaunted kicking skills.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Sorry, you lost me at awareness. No he doesn't.

Got more than you, I suspect.

I heard an interview with our list manager on 3AW last night. It sounded very much like they would be no more trading by CFC. Personally, the only issues I am interested in are the health of Doc and Charlie, as well as that I can attend the games next year.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Let me get this straight.

With Gibbo upgraded to the senior list and with the inclusion of Zac, Adam and Fog we have 38 senior players.

If we delist Moore and Polson that gives us the space for two kids in the draft.

But if we trade Macreadie and LOB - two players who are far superior than Moore and Polson - are we then picking up four kids? Or just not delisting Moore and Polson? And if we’re keeping Moore and Polson how does that make any sense from list management perspective?

Please unconfuse me.

Moore is rookie list, so we need to cut one more in addition to Polson (i.e one of Macreadie or Kennedy or LOB if traded)

Crane was a great player ...

Do you actually believe Pav is making a return to playing after retiring in 2016

He is 38 now.
