Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

If we've offered him $1.3M we're idiots.

I wouldn't pay much attention to that poster. If you look at their history it's pretty inconsistent.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

The one we have to handover to Haw?

Correct
Hawks have our pick, compensation pick directly after it…

 

[BluesFanatic2025]

Our offer is well under 1.3M.

Not what Austin told corporates at a breakfast on Thursday. I was previously told it was $900k and team friendly. Austin told the group $1.3m. Also went through who he sees in the draft top 40. Rates Dean best defender and our other guys are late pick / rookie but believes they can play

If he is prepared to shell out 1.3M for TDK he is dumber than I thought.

 

[BluesFanatic2025]

dumber than I thought.

Cap goes up. $1.3m is the new $1m

1.3M is off the mark. Closer to 1.1M but tapers off slightly each year over the 7 years.

If Austin is talking contracts and drafting at a breakfast and giving out information, he should be sacked.

You don't pay a ruck $1M ...

Nonsense.

It aint when youre trying to satisfy SOS amongst others and considering players have signed and stayed for less. If Dekoning is worth 1.3M in any salary cap Ill go he.

 

[bigblueboy]

You don't know that... it very well could...

You have absolutely no evidence whatsoever to make that claim.
None.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

You have absolutely no evidence whatsoever to make that claim.
None.

What? That it could happen? You have no evidence to say it won't too mate...

 

[DangerousD]

No salary cap to worry about, so can go and buy anyone they can afford

Not really the point I was going for, more that, the sun comes up the next day and the new season comes around fast and things move on.

Supporters still love the club, fans still flock to games, sponsors still sponsor, the sky wouldn’t fall in regardless which player we traded.

 

[katmanblue]

Our offer is well under 1.3M.

Thank **** for that

TDK has our best offer of $1.3m and has had for four months. He has not accepted or rejected. Internal feeling is he is gone. Club won't be going higher. Club really rates Peter Dean's son as the best defender in the draft. The view is we may go a few steps backwards to go 5 steps forward and the core of our next flag is on the list already

I hope that core doesn’t include our current core of assistant coaches.

 

[katmanblue]

We haven't been too far off the pace in most of out games so far. In previous years we've had multiple players in AA squad.

So far this year we have no one even close. I think, this is having an effect.
Our best players are well off the pace. When they are up and running, it makes life easier on the lesser lights. Letting them operate under a bit less pressure. We have multiple role players out, especially our hhf, link players. No wonder we are falling down at the last hurdle, when getting the ball to a target inside f50.

it doesn't look good right now but it's going to turn.

Posters here are consistently inconsistent, historically.

It’s the consistency you need to worry about .

It is a club endorsed function for corporate supporters. Happens every year.

 

[BluesFanatic2025]

Nonsense.

No buddy the only nonsense on this thread is you wanting to tank for picks 1 and 2

Don't believe for a minute Austin would put that information into the public domain, it would not happen.

 

[Gointocarlton]

It would be pretty easy to validate, whoever was there would be able to say categorically if he did or didn't.

Where he specifies player contract offers?

The turn it around when it's too late, honourable loss factory eh?

Doubt he would have a job if he was detailing players remuneration would not happen.
