Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[BlueTongue]

Ahh the Cattanooga Cats, showing our age here.

Just doin' my thing Ja-ba-da, ja-ba-da

 

[Graffy4242]

I've figured it out.

Elijah and Motlop to Port for Zak Butters.

Nice and fair

I think we'd need a bit more coming back

 

[BlueTongue]

Ok, so this is what I’ve been told:

• We’re in deep discussions with Butters.
• McGovern gone.
• Hinkley a big chance to come on board.

#Blu#Bluemour

I know the horse has probably bolted RE Merrett & Hawks, but offering up Curnow for him would surely make more sense than the Butters deal. We are going to get Reamed on that. Merrett for Curnow would almost be a straight swap with each club agreeing to take on the other's contract.

You just got Austins job mate.

Now I know Butters is highly rated but there's no need to give players away

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Butters is probably my favourite non-Blues player and even though I know it's a pipe-dream, a midfield of Butters, Smith, Walsh, Cripps (and then Walker) really makes my Navy bulge Blue; the caveat is he probably costs two top 10 picks (or equivalent) and $2million a year. Saints really broke the market for individual players this year; not convinced that'll translate to team success.

When journos talk about how much a player will be paid they take the $ figure from the single highest earning year across the life of the contract, add all the incentives hitting then add a bit of mayo on top of that.

With the way players wages are going up I wouldn’t be too worried about $2m/year (in journo reported $s) for the likes of NWM or Butters

 

[Pablito]

Butters would turn us into the best midfield in the league.

Id pay him 2mil a year also.

Why do people dismiss Cerra? I don't get it.
He is one of our best mids - when played there of course.

 

[MightyMighties]

Motormouse & Autocat

Wow, had totally forgotten about those cartoons. Just magnificent!

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

$2mil still seems crazy. It’s pretty much Curnow and McKay put together and we complain they are overpaid.

Nah, over-hyped & vanilla I reckon. I can't even really say reliable.
I'd call that trade a bust.

One of those eps has 'The Bed-Rod'. When i was a kid I so badly wanted a hotrod bed like that. lol

Why would Merrett come here, and why would we want a 30 year old (as good as he is) over a superior younger player?

 

[Markyd]

Butters is pipe dream, didn’t make finals, players leaving, a coach on thin ice…. why would he come to Carlton.

 

[katmanblue]

Id pay him 2mil a year also.

What happens when Walsh puts his hand out next year?

 

[SafeAsMilk]

Who had the mail on Liam Reidy?

He's requested a trade to Carlton.

 

[BlueTongue]

Because he has the disposal, an would come about 800k cheaper for a start. If you think we are such a poor destination, why wouldn't Butters choose Hawthorn or Geelong or Bulldogs?

 

[Accidental genius]

What happens when Walsh puts his hand out next year?

He’ll be worth $4M per season for 7 years the way things are heading

 

[Stamos]

For those speculating on pick 6.

Cal Twomey's form guide had Dean at 8.

Ahead of him are Zeke Uwland, Dylan Patterson, and Daniel Annable who are GC, GC, Brisbane bound.

Key position players tend to rise going into the draft.

In my opinion there is a high likelihood of a club putting a bid in on Dean before pick 6.

Also, the Suns need points.
They can’t afford to be shipping out (what is currently) 1659 points this year.

 

[Pablito]

What happens when Walsh puts his hand out next year?

Pay him 2 also.

Another PM

• Ken Hinkley to be at carlton in some capacity soon trying to work out role. Butters likely follow as loves Ken. Watch this space
• ⁠the Clubs stance on CC going is just talk. They also want him gone now, too disruptive and not committed
• ⁠Buku coming McGovern going
• ⁠Walsh has stood up in recent meeting and said if you don’t want to be here ****en leave and grow up and let us do what we want to do. Strong chance of replacing Cripps. He or Weitering, players to vote
• ⁠President has made decision on Elijah. Some wanted to work with him but he’s had too many chances and decision is final.
• ⁠SOS will bid on Harry Dean and trying to convince him to join st Kilda - club very dirty
• ⁠Motlop 50/50. Stays iF butters can’t land

WTF is the President making list decisions..? Re: Elijah.
Eddie is the opposite of supporting your players. Rob butt out and grow some substance about yourself.

Plan A would be to select Lindsay before Dean or maybe Grilj would be a reasonable plan B.
Who else do we think will be selected before Dean, not including accademy kids...Duff-Tytler, Duursma, Sharp?

We probably need pick 3, 4 or 5 to get in before Dean. This should be part of the Charlie deal.

Seems doubtful

Using BF's search function on this forum suggests Red Bull on August 6 in this and the list management threads

I don't know how accurate the search function is.
