Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[4flagsin5yrs]

Read is used as their second ruck so they needed him unless they play Moyle or pinch hit with someone else.

yes, understood...

 

[ajb72]

Wondering if all the people mentioning Humphrys actually watched the game last week?

 

[ctwenty1]

If this doesn't work out for them, which I don't think it will, St.Kilda is going to be royally screwed,

from the Tassie Devils to the Tassie Saints - the ultiumate rebranding

I've been saying for 20 years, they should have rebranded as the Southern Saints and gone; it would have been the best thing for them.

He's far from the finished product but as he matures, his consistency and impact on games will grow. Going to be a star, young Humphrey.

I'm sure it gets a mention if he's on the table for negotiation

 

[katmanblue]

I think May might be necessary.

Take his character out of it, we need another 2nd KPD with losing JSOS and HOF out next year.

Lewis Young/Haynes can't be our 2nd best defender next year, and Harry Dean won't be ready.

Melb probably pay 300k of his salary too.

 

[reubsblues]

May, Newman and Haynes in the same back-line? Would be the oldest defence since the Walls of Jericho.

So? like seriously age is irrelevant
Geelong Collingwood Brisbane Sydney don't worry about this all successful
I have no problem getting mature players into the club especially successful ones

 

[reubsblues]

I am a winner on May.

I reckon Weitering would be too!

TA

Watch next yr when a geelong or Collingwood take him and he kills it
And all the clueless people on here say he's to old or bad for culture, meanwhile the geelongs and Collingwoods keep being successful even with players like that are on there lists

No way Geelong take May. They have SDK, O’Sullivan, Jack Henry and Blicavs(if he’s not needed elsewhere)who are all equal to or better than May at 34.

Why would Tassie want anything to do with St Kilda... when you talk 'horrible histories', it means something different for SK....

May is exactly what our team needs. Brutal strength and mongrel. David Rhys Jones style.

TA

I’m old enough to remember the days when Carlton was feared and revered.

May is the kind of player that we would recruit in the 80s and 90s that would take someone out and we would cheer.

It’s been 3 decades since those days.

TA

We get it Tommy.


You are a fan of May!

It's an example mate my point is those teams take risks

OR you're actually Steven May........

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Watch May toddle of to Oldiewood.

Fit right in.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

If I would be Voss I'd be in an opposite camp to this thinking. I'd rather have expectations low on our outcome for 2025, because if we don't have Curnow, TDK, Jack and an enourmous amount of youth the bar on what internally and externally the expectations for us will be much lower.

If the club acquiesces to asks from the coaches to bring in ready made experience then they're telegraphing we're in or close to the window, so any outcome that relates to us missing out on and just making the 8 may not cut any form of extension being offered.

I'm in the camp that next season should be Voss' last, for him to even get offered an extension I want to see what he can accomplish with youth, new coaches and change in the air all round. Sure recruit a few mid 20 year olds to fill the breach, players who can be with us 5+ years, but Melbourne even with the talent they still have in their list and a new coach (who might get some immediate success) don't even want a bar of him.

Voss needs a strong move into the 8, and a few finals, otherwise....

It's funny how you say it like there not successful doing it

and the Northern Kangaroos... at GC

 

[Moon]

I’d rather May than McGovern.

14 posters agree

Aphro /Mod wins .. Gov better Hahaha

 

[Tommy Alvin]

We get it Tommy.

I tell you what I am not a fan of. The continuous blooding of young players that are light and don't turn into beasts. The only players recruited over the past 10 years that are ELITE in every way are Cripps and Weitering. Outside of that we have not only recruited poorly but keep going for slight, light players that get injured every 5 minutes because their bodies aren't up to the battle. We need grunt. Then the Walsh like players don't have top get killed in the contested ball every week.

I've watched Bailey up close and personal for 3 years.

It's not what he can do now. What he'll be doing at 23-24 is what I want him for.

 

[Accidental genius]

I reckon Collingwood look at May as well

Yeah, they may as well.

Carlton have been doing that for 50 years .. The Garry Crane, Chris Yarran, Fisher types .. now Cerra .. Jagga
Carlton have preferred talent over strong bodies. West Coast back in the Day and currently Geelong go the big bodies and it is obvious we get battered in the contest by these ruthless beasts.

 

[gab213]

That should've happened as well as the Western Bulldogs in Sydney , instead of GWS, those clubs and the AFL would've been in a stronger position now.

 

[Dramoth]

There was no precedent for the 10 or 11 yr Buddy deal till it was done...

Charlie is in that stratosphere - the AFL would love him at either the Swans or the Gold Coast.

A marketing gold mine. And that's all they give a f... about really.

They'll (the AFL) will be nudging a deal along in the background.

I expect a deal to be done and Carlton to be rewarded very handsomely.

Possibly bumping the JSOS compo up to a band 1 compo.
