Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[Benaly28]

The ONLY trade id entertain for Charlie would be King.

You couldn’t possibly have Charlie/King/Read and Walter play in the same side.

 

[Stamos]

Voss issue aren't player relationship based
It's game plan style systems

That’s what they’re saying is Jiath’s problem though right?
It’s not about the relationship.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

So Mitchell and the Hawks can sort out Chol, but can’t sort out Jiath?

We're interested in anyone with pace it seems. Chesser, Petrucelli, Jiath, Flanders... will be interesting to see which of these are actually true. Chesser seems a lock at this stage.

Clearly Flanders is the best player in that lot by a mile. Unlucky not to be in the 2024 AA team. Excellent ball user.

You’d want King ahead of Humphrey?

 

[The Bighouse]

This is true.
But given Hawthorn’s coaching compared to ours, that would be quite a risk.

And Sammy is supposed to be the Super Coach and recruiting guru with his relationship building.

As an aside, I would hope all other clubs would prevent Sam Mitchell in being involved in the State of Origin coaching team = poaching exercise for HFC.

From what I'm told it's 90%+ injury issues.

Khamis is also quick and is coming.

Oh, welcome to Carlton then!

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Oh, welcome to Carlton then!

Exactly.

I know Moyles basically been told he’s got the keys after Witts retires but I wonder if Read is seen as a ruck long term, both king and Walter are ooc next year as well from memory so there’s a chance there is a need for a key forward soon

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I'm good with a key forward as a part of a larger trade.

But if GC won't give up Walter or Read then they need to stump up another of their A graders or potential A graders

Don't believe the Walter bravado...

You don't come out and say you're very interested in a player like Curnow then rule out all your top players, you're best upcoming players and top draft picks...

They are doing what they should be doing, but at the end of the day, if the offer is Flanders + F2 we will rightly tell them to **** off.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Khamis is also quick and is coming.

Is that confirmed somewhere?

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

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

Where did Mitchell actually say this? Is there actual quotes?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Is that confirmed somewhere?

Trust me on this one.

 

[Gavstar]

From what I'm told it's 90%+ injury issues.

I thought we had learned our lesson in bringing in perpetually injured players ?

Didn’t Voss put forward that we re-jigged the list to improve durability? Or was that deflection and spin to distract from our poor performance this year?

 

[Wickzki]

Don't believe the Walter bravado...

Let them keep Walters and Read.

Get Humphrey out of there back home to Vic.

Then we'll revisit the Gold Coast in 12 months when one of the two (Read and Walters) are dissatisfied with their limited opportunities as you can't possibly play Curnow, King, Read AND Walters together.

The verbal commitment means nothing when there's other anglee you can pursue that gets the job done just as effectively

 

[thegreatbeast]

Khamis is also quick and is coming.

Are we selling him on forward or back?

 

[Stamos]

Trust me on this one.

Any idea of the trade price?

Hard to see Walters staying with Curnow, King and in favour Reid in that forward line.

 

[Coona Blues]

100% heard it with my own ears.

Absolutely heard it too. Confirmation.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Any idea of the trade price?

I have no idea about that yet.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Are we selling him on forward or back?

Not sure

 

[Opium]

So who are we getting
Reidy
Khamis
CJ
Davies

that probably sorts out KP for losing JSOS and TDK (plus HOF injury). All probably B grade at best. So we won’t be losing much in terms of contract price and picks. I think we still need another elite mid, half back ball user and small forward. Some of these will come via the draft I guess plus the addition of Jagga.

None of these players get me excited tbh. Reckon they're just shuffling deck chairs

 

[Opium]

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

If Mitchell is happy to let him go. Buyer beware

 

[Rosscoe 17]

I agreed I think we need 6+ good players young enough that we can develop them into top players.

Butters / Petracca would wipe out our draft capital on one player.

I guess it's pretty obvious that we need speed and good ball users - even Austin seems to get it (finally).

The game relies on chains of possession to move the ball from one end to another obviously. One weak link and it breaks down. We regularly field a team with multiple weak links - so we only score goals when the stars align and each of these weak links happens to not stuff it up.

Also those poor ball users know they can't "bite off" a challenging kick so when they get a mark they just take their time then bomb it down the line (see Blake Acres 95% of the time). Bombing it down the line to an outnumber is the Voss game plan in it's most obvious fail.

We need the troops to keep these poor ball users out of the team. Will transform the team.

Trac gone past our demographic..don’t see it happening
