Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

Blues not interested in Petruccele - Cal Twomey

Chesser, Buku and CJ (though I doubt Maclure knows anything) might have put this one to bed.

Phew.

Obviously checked the BF response

Cal Twomey also reporting that compo pick for TDK, we have told clubs it’s for sale for either to push back for multiple picks or picks next year for Cody.

We want Charlie, but we’re not going to give you in return anything that you might need.

World has gone mad. Time for us to stop being too nice to deal with at the trade table and cease pandering to the whims of players and optics.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Or they bid because they last thing they want is a massive outcry about Carlton getting a top 10 draftee for a couple of picks in the 20s. Us paying up for Dean might mean the AFL are less inclined to pull some bullshit change out their arse next year.

Yep, that’s also another possibility.

 

[Dramoth]

Depends on exactly where but with Essendon having multiple picks there it's in their hands. Most likely they'd use the one before (5) which would mean we'd get a little change from 6

Zero hanger is suggesting his draft range is 5-15. If we get pick 6, we just burn it on Dean if a bid comes in at 5. If the bid comes after that, but before 10, we’re probably using the TDK compo to cover it. 10-20 range bids we’re using the JSOS compo. If there’s no bid by the JSOS compo, I can see us doing a live trade for a couple of picks in the 20s and early 30s and taking Dean there.

This is gonna be a fun year in the draft.

Wonder if North will come for it, to get back into the first round

Chesser better than many here give him credit for...

The bold surgery call that got this 'gifted' Eagle back on track

Despite being able to play through the issue, Campbell Chesser opted to go under the knife to give himself a chance to play at his best

Definitely looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Fritch to the Blues rumour gaining legs around the traps

For a couple of years, I wouldn’t mind it because he’d be a good mentor for Moir and Kemp who have both shown good signs up front but need that extra polish.

Future first wouldn’t be unprecedented and would take it in a heartbeat.

Would just need to find a way to make sure we have points coverage for Dean through other trades (likely Curnow).

 

[Blue since 72]

He could be the steal of this trade period.

Easily an upgrade on any winger we have and has the size to go into the midfield.

Had a meniscus tear in his draft year early in the season or would have been top 10 (top 5 in some peoples eyes).

Has the running capacity of Ollie, but unlike Ollie is a beautiful kick, strong overhead, has genuine speed and class.

Solid looking lad as well.

Which absolutely already means that clubs know there won’t be any FS lockout in the draft.

TDK compo for North future would be perfect IF we didn't go down the Charlie route. Hell, even if we did.

Then just take the chance to bank mid-picks before rules change to get Dean and Ison (through Gov, Acres trades).

Cal said the talk of a lockout has cooled.

Campbell Chesser continues to impress in sprinting with qualification to another Australian Athletics Championships​

Super sprinter has best in sight

I reckon that would've been around the time that GW mentioned O'Farrell's name.

Watch the Hawks.

If we're really trying to stockpile first round picks for next year and Hawthorn want to salary dump CJ & are desperate on Merrett then it could be as simple as:

Hawthorn give us back our 2025' R2 pick + their 2026' R1 pick & CJ in exchange for the TDK compo pick & our current 2025' R2 (tied to Brisbane).

Hawthorn then on trade their 2025 R1 (tied to us) & the TDK compo pick to Essendon for Merrett.

Bombers effectively get 2 x Top 10 picks for Merrett.
Hawks get Merrett & our 2025 R2 (tied to Brisbane).
Blues get CJ + Hawks 2025' R2 (tied to us) & 2026' R1.

Cal said the talk of a lockout as cooled.

I reckon a big reason why we got Cody Walker to nominate so early was to put pressure on the league about a potential FS lockout. Would have been a terrible look if a player nominated and then rules changes.

Never were, at best, we would have offered a VFL spot with him returning.

Fritsch to the Blues rumour gaining legs around the traps

Would definitely improve hair grooming at Carlton.
A good combo with CJ's athletic physique to improve eye candy for the viewers.

A bit each way on Bailey ... like his work but can be a bit quiet when I'm watching the Dees.
Unlike some others of interest mentioned... I'd be fine with giving Fritschy a shot. Definitely adds class.

Essendon don't want our first round pick.

They already have two good picks. They don't need 3+ (will be 3 if the wink wink deal for Ridley goes through and they get band one for Draper) in such a shallow and compromised draft

They need someone coming through the door in a Merrett trade that gives their members hope for the medium term. "Yeah, Merrett needed to go so he can win NOW but we're really building something here..."
