Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

But you do look like Hemsworth Ferris. No need to be modest about it.

 

[Christou2Kouta]

I’d go for Duursma for sure if we had pick 2. He’s versatile enough to find a role to play 1s from day one and can eventually take over from Cripps and be a good complement to Jagga and Walsh over the next decade.

 

[raymagoo]

Yazz goes BANG!!!

So 9+19+Acres

For 2 + Chesser?

That seems like highway robbery

Duff-tytties please

 

[Aphrodite]

All these dinners

 

[Michael Jezz]

We have a fair few Voss apologists here.

They are not Voss apologists but see a bigger picture. They see a combination of the following being a higher priority
A).Patience and availability of the right senior coaching replacement
B) Replacing the coach providing a leave pass to the players.

 

[Rustica]

Bring on trade week already

 

[swuzzlebubble]

this draft with the the top so compromised

How many bids you expect before pick 2?

 

[carlton_99]

How many bids you expect before pick 2?

None. My point was more around whether giving up a lot for pick 2 in this draft makes sense given the players available to us (i.e., non academy-linked).

Understand that but most of them would not be considered at #2 anyway. If we do rate someone we can always take a punt and bid there.

I read that Paul Connors manages Curnow, Silvagni and TDK. Might have earned himself a ban at the Carlton Football Club with the way he has gone about all this.

Will go in the Hall of Fame right up there with Dave Allison.

 

[The Bighouse]

Excellent update - would be fantastic if we could get pick compo pick #2 -> assume this is from Oscar Allen FA rather than draft assistance for poor performance?

Imo senior player satisfaction with the Martin 'trade' would have been compounded by the fact that we chose to delist Martin rather than traded him. So to lose such an important cog for less than a packet of chips is a poor list management decision.

Think it was courtesy decision with all the injuries & no fix.
DFA allowed JM to get the club of his choice, amicably from the club.

Rosas is a myth. Can’t get a game…

he's barely average. Huge myth.

 

[sweethoney]

Massive myth.. if he was any good suns wouldn’t be looking for a small forward like they are meant to be

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Few updates from last 24 hours and a couple of dinners:

Discussion with WCE are focussed on their expected compo pick(#2) in exchange for blues two compo picks and potentially player swap. WCE waiting still on AFL re concession request.

Oh god, we're getting Owies back, aren't we......

 

[swuzzlebubble]

I'd prefer to keep Motts

What would we be using pick #2 for in a shallow draft do you think?

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Liam Reidy follows Freo and Carlton on insta, no other afl clubs. So looks like that one is done.

[Juddrockz]

We can dream.

 

[Sonny Jim]

No, no. Its your opinion.

Utter rubbish.

Am I doing it right?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Liam Reidy follows Freo and Carlton on insta, no other afl clubs. So looks like that one is done.

Can't quote from other boards but there's some glowing views on him if you have a look from around the time he re-signed with Freo

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

What would we be using pick #2 for in a shallow draft do you think?

Either Duursma or Lindsay most likely.

If we got Pick 2 there's a chance we'd try and trade it to Richmond or Essendon down at 3-4 if we knew the player we wanted would still be there and get some extra points for Dean or something.

Hard to say though, very weak draft in terms of top end talent.

 

[BlueTongue]

Problem with Jack is that he is never on the park.

Agree, but we looked a lot steadier when he was, however short it was.
