Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[LastGanginTown]

I’d understand clique if you’d explain irony first & foremost.

More John Fogerty.

Don’t drink & drive kids.

Listened to Legacy yet Stig? I didn’t see the need for it, but he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves to be fair. Anyway, might smoke a blunt and spin Lebowski

 

[Wickzki]

Do you think Wickz that whilst the pact is great to take less to build something successful with this group, that the pact is also about where they’ve stopped? I’d kill for our players to impact a contest the way the Pies did last night

I've said this in the past few days and I stand by it.

The group grew as individuals and mates. They haven't grown as a team.

 

[BlueTongue]

Love most of this but one thing that does concern me is if we also move on Motlop and McGovern.

Not a huge fan of either, but we are already looking at enormous amount of list change this off season.

Wright himself has said we may have “cut too deep” last year and at a certain point you need to keep some of the fringe types for stability.

TBH, I dont think we'd notice if either were gone. JSOS will leave a bigger hole than McGovern.

Are you in Green River territory, Centerfield, or is that Deja-Vu all over again?

Gotta be a cosmos joke in there somewhere

That's on the head coach and the leaders

 

[We may never win again]

Correct. Several of our players were offered approx. 400k more to move elsewhere back when that was the equivalent to a decent best 22 player (i.e. similar money to what we paid Acres to come across) so although performances dropped that's what it's really about.



See above.

Allegedly, some of the group feel like they sacrificed hundreds of thousands of dollars each but we still ended up with the following list turnover:

Out: Ed Curnow (retired), Lachie Plowman, Lochie O'Brien, Zac Fisher, Paddy Dow, Jack Martin, David Cuningham, Caleb Marchbank, Matt Owies, Matt Kennedy, Jack Carroll

In: Elijah Hollands and Nick Haynes. We added Fantasia and Evans late in SSP the last two years. The other additions were all kids who had a low likelihood of helping them win.

Looking at it like that does make it easier to understand some frustration, realistically while a small reset might be better for the club in the long haul the players aren’t leaving the money on the table for the club to set itself up for success after they’ve already moved on, you want to win a flag while you’re playing

 

[BlueTongue]

Be in no doubt, Wright is calling the shots.
IMO, the implode was always coming once the decision to keep Voss was made.
This will either break or make this club, but what can’t occur, is another 5 years in the wilderness.
Let’s hope GW knows what he is doing.

I'm fine with either scenario.
Obviously i want the miracle cure as the preferred option, but to rebuild you first have to destroy.
If GW doesn't work out, at least we will at least had someone come in with the guts to cut the rot.

 

[BlueTongue]

I keep thinking back to the video of David Cunningham in his first training session with us, and how he looked very uncomfortable being Bolts' demonstration of team building.

Davey kicks for goal, and it goes through, and Bolts says "that's right, get around him" or words to effect. It all looked awkward and contrived to me. All text book and no genuine bonds being established naturally it looked to me.

 

[4thchicken]

Cripps and Clarke are tied at the hip.

So if Clarke goes, does Cripps?

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Has anyone else noticed that Ollie has hairy arms and legs?

Hope he grows a beard for next season and starts to lose hair on top.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

I am completely useless with any navigation issues.

North is forward.

Love to all.

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Bring back hair.
Enough of the waxed legs and arms.
More beards
Black boots.
Pull ya ****ing sock ups

 

[GT619]

Love being linked with Walter. His ceiling is immense. His aggression and willingness to tackle, combined with HOK gives us a formidable f50 for the next 8 years.
In my opinion it’s clear GW is embarking on a mini reset both talent and character wise. If we could pry walter and a pick giving us flexibility to address other needs (ball use) - huge thumbs up for GW’s first summer in charge

I don't know much about Walter

 

[GT619]

Walter is not in our radar.

go on?

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Woollen guernseys and socks that weigh a tonne when wet and muddy.

Non of this Teflon coated cotton blends skinny fit Lycra bullshizen.

And while I’m in the mood for suggestions, under****ing 19’s.

It don’t matter mate.

Buzz, Kenny Hunter, when they turned up pre-season 1981.

Rod Ashman was the best player at the club.

No push back here.
What a player.
Bearded as well as a beautiful head.
Unassuming in a crowd.
Would’ve driven a Torana LH SLR 5000

 

[NYCFC]

Ashy is one of our greats, and I think one of the most underrated players ever.
Really didn't like it when a year after he personally handed Ollie Hollands his No.14 Guernsey, Ollie traded it in for No.4.
Seems pretty disrespectful to me.
Hollands will never be half the player Rod Ashman was.
