Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[SurreyBlue]

I hope Reidy talk doesn’t affect us drafting Flynn.

 

[Blue By Blood]

3 years for Reidy is insane. I could maybe have lived with 2.
I don't like potting players but he's just not very good. Much rather play HOK in which case keeping Reidy as break glass for 3 years is madness.
Pittonet is far better than Reidy.

 

[The Bighouse]

In terms of Reidy, you just get the sense Freo supporters “know”. Sigh.

We’re hoping for a Meek revival….

 

[GT619]

That's better....let's be positive...

until we find a better replacement or draft flynn riley

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Don't know anything about him but I do know they tried hard to convince him to stay

Did they? Oh well. That'll do then.

 

[AT97]

Well if he’s not chasing money like our two and thinking it’s a better chance of success, he won’t give it a second thought.

 

[BlueZombie]

If there's a potential trade to Sydney for Charlie (involving players) I think the swans will know, at the end of the day, that they'll have to give one of their stars to get one of our stars.

 

[Dominator_7]

I am reserving judgement. Because I mostly do not feel encouraged

That’s right, we’re all so quick to pass judgement.
We were all heaping crap on Frank the Tank until he got knocked out and woke up playing like peak Eddie Betts. Now we all love him.

Maybe we need to employ Steven May as a assistant coach. Can go around knocking the bejesus out of our players at training, so that they will come back better than Jezza.

 

[katmanblue]

He's basically called Christian 'dishonestly fair'...

Unethically fair

To gain SOS at 900k and lose Wilkie on much less is a mind bending way of building a list.

Pittonet is a spud so Reidy must be bad

 

[Garters]

To be honest wouldn't be surprised if Jon just didnt know what the word "unscrupulously" means

Ralphy is just trying to be disingenuously genuine........
Barnum and Bailey grade circus act is Jon

 

[swuzzlebubble]

And Walter - very much a 20yo WIP

What's the risk Walter is actually a bust?
Wouldn't want to give up CC for a DGB scenario

Haven't seen enough of him but at 25 years old he would want to be getting ready to hit his straps. At 204 good size though and at 3 yrs would have cost a pack of chips

 

[Prem17]

I don't know much about Reidy, so I asked about him whilst I was at a family function last weekend.
The family have been heavily involved with Freo for a lot of years.

They all said that he's a more than capable ruck at WAFL level but is 3rd in line behind Darcy and Jackson, so won't get games unless there's a LTI to one of those two.
Bear in mind that they went with Jackson solo when Darcy was injured.
They were all of the opinion that he would be getting regular games at the majority of AFL clubs.
Their opinions, not mine.
Just passing on what I was told.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

There's a 208cm ruck in SANFL that one of the SA is keen on. Max someone? Apparently come on rapidly this year.

The thing is you don't actually have to be good at English and/or writing to be a "journalist".

A basic undergraduate degree and some connections will get you there...if you are non footballer.

If you are footballer, well that's different....you just have to have been half decent and have some sort of opinion.

Feeling old school, but journalism in Australian Football is exceptionally uninformed and poorly presented.

 

[Pixelshooter]

Max Height?

Max Headroom?

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Built like a brick outhouse

 

[skadoosh]

Max Height?

Maximus Taptoadvantageus

 

[Coops93]

Seems like an underwhelming pick up but who knows. We need someone to play ruck in the VFL and as a backup to Pitt.

I know HOK was initially a ruckman we've turned into a forward, I wonder if that's part of his development or we really don't see him as a long term no.1 ruck and we believe forward/2nd ruck is his go.
