Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

Some feedback about CJ from Sam Mitchell.

When asked who his favourite players to coach were he said "the guys who always know the right thing to do and the right place to be".

Interestingly he said that Ginivan was probably the best at that at the Hawks.

On the flip side, he said you also get players who are the opposite. Think they know the game inside out and the right things to do, and unfortunately they are the most outspoken in meetings. However they have no idea. He said "not naming any names.... CJ"

really? seems an odd thing to say

 

[entitled supporters]

How are players like Wilson, Charleston Hogg and others in the VFL not tried before we recruit the same type players.. Someone said they were going after some forward from Brisbane who is playing VFL.Didnt they have a guy called McMahon that was kicking as many goals as that guy but were too conservative to give him a go on the list

When and where was this said?

Have it on good authority that this is a chance. Hawks happy to let him go.

Of course they are... he doesn't know how to play football.

 

[lopezz]

I think he's referring to the fact that he can be prone to panicking under pressure when he has the footy and become a bit of a headless chook.

Yeah, that's why i said Khamis is a little Bowerish but they are very differnt players, Khamis and Jiath

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

This is flat out wrong.

 

[Treesloth]

His decision making is questionable but still feel like he’s worth bringing in for the right price. He at least has some athletic qualities we need.

EDIT: I’ve been told he’s also a great person, FWIW

What's so funny ctwenty1?

Are you insinuating that after posting on this forum for 14 years I would randomly start posting lies?

 

[BigFrizz36]

As if he hasn't done himself enough mischief in the past with his 'non-football' related injuries, he picks one of the most dangerous countries in the world to go 'chill'.

Hopefully he's somewhere that starts with Cabo or Cancun. They're a bit like a Spanish speaking Gold Coast. The rest though...........................

sorry if I have caused offence

Why people want Petracca is beyond me . We have no ruck now , one good tall at both ends , no skill or small forwards . Yet a mid losing pace with average skill top of the want list ?

They are strapping Jagga to H's back in an attempt to get a 19th player onto the field ??? Talk about a bold move from the CFC .....

Oh Lordy ... I'm still dealing with Morlop for 2 years and Durdan. Please don't add CJ ... just don't!
Hope for 2026 will jump out the window and do a runner
Optimism surrounding GW will take a hit.

A pass for me, not the same player he was projecting to be before his current injury issues the past few years…

 

[Stamos]

Is Ison only guaranteed if the bid comes after pick 40?

Have a bad feeling he could be bid on earlier than we’d like

No, that rule changed a few years ago.

With the new rules (that have just come in this year), we would be hoping he’s not bid on until 37.
At that point, you don’t need points to match a bid, you just use your next pick to match.

 

[sweethoney]

Probably don’t want to lose them
If they’re probably going to lose King after next season

Not sure he’s top of the list but Petracca is a bloody good football player.

Not sure it's great form from a coach to be airing that out to people outside the club

This is flat out wrong.

No offense to anyone, but I'm taking Mitchell's opinion over most people here when it comes to footy.

I wonder, if there were no names, did he point or wink at CJ or was it played out in a way that you have no doubt he meant him? What was the context thet led you to believe he was talking CJ?

It's was mentioned over a month ago (can't remember which Journo - but it wasn't that incompetent, late to the party, wannabe McClure), but seems to have resurfaced.
