Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[BlueTang]

Charlie to the Hawks. I’d want Will Day, this years first, next years first. And they can have a third rounder with CC as well.

It’s overs or **** off (any club)

 

[Tommy Alvin]

Curnow’s legacy?

I will leave that here.

TA

 

[thegreatbeast]

please no cj, just no

I can not agree more. He has no football brain. I guarantee if he joins he will be the new whipping boy.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

I meant in big games like this

Wish we had Charlie perform in big games

 

[ferrisb]

At the game tonight.

Whatever the question is, Jiath is not the answer...

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Nick Austin sprinting to ring Jiath’s manager after tonight’s game, having suddenly changed his mind.

Or is it running away....

 

[BlueLocke]

Jiath is manic out there.

And I don’t mean that in a complimentary way at all.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Nick Austin tonight: “Hello Mark McKenzie, when you sold me CJ Jiath, you didn’t mention one thing .. you never mentioned that he was a turn over merchant that can’t keep his feet.. no you didn’t! .. well .. ok .. that’s not my recollection.. yeah .. well ok, goodbye”

 

[thegreatbeast]

CrippaTheGoat9 - I see your downvotes. What do you see in CJ?

 

[teknodeejay]

What do you mean, it makes those first round picks in the high teens.

It doesn’t matter cos they’ll be used for Walker
But I accept it won’t happen regardless

In any game going by this season…

 

[Benaly28]

With the Hawks out, hopefully we have some positive news about Hickmott and Jiath next week!

Cj is horrible.

 

[TENACIOUS]

He's also missed large chunks of his career and had God knows how many surgeries on one knee, then had an Ankle injury that disrupted his 2024 and ultimately required surgery, then had more surgery in the 2025 off-season on that troubled knee.

He's had 2 fit seasons in the last 6 and, is 29 next season. The thing is, though, in those 2 seasons he won 2x Colemans, so the ceiling is as high as anyone in the league. But a 29-yr old with 2 fully fit seasons since they were 23 isn't exactly great.

I'm not someone saying we give him away for some future picks and a couple of B graders, but I can also completely see why no club has been exactly falling over themselves to satisfy us with a trade. Charlie is a blue-chip talent, but with a neon warning sign. That's not an easy deal to make for any party and is buyer beware to a point.

Lots of hubris is out there about how we should handle this (force him to stay and play him a full back in the VFL to fix his attitude, lol), but even from our perspective we should be considering what value we can get from a highly injury prone late 20s key forward. If he stays, he's a gamble to actually be regularly fit and getting the best out of himself, based off his history. Are we better off trying to get the best value for him now while he still has a premium? If he has another year or 2 disrupted pre-season surgery or another in-season lingering niggle, his value will be nowhere near where it is now.

While that maybe true, it means nothing to us, we’re not trying to sell him.

If a club wants him they have to, pay what we want. Paul Connors was on the 200+ podcast, and said if a deal can’t get done, Charlie is happy to stay.

CrippaTheGoat9 - I see your downvotes. What do you see in CJ?

I think he would provide some much needed run and explosiveness off half back as well as some much needed depth.

He played a quarter and half tonight so I think the criticism is a tad overboard.

He won’t cost us much in a trade, I think he will improve our depth and given a bigger role he can be a good player for our side.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Cj is horrible.

He played a quarter and half in a prelim.

 

[146cjones]

Holmes and myres for Charlie. Won't happen but geez myres kicks into f50 are mind bending good

 

[katmanblue]

Why are we wanting to help the best sides and get bad draft picks in return??

I'd rather play him in the VFL next year than help a rival get better.

 

[JJBagger]

He played a quarter and half in a prelim.

And came in when the game was red hot and his team had no momentum. Having to pick up the pace that quickly in such a high intensity game wouldn’t be easy

 

[BlueTongue]

I was looking at Cats small forwards, Mannagh is OOC end of 2026, probably our best chance (though the way he's played recently no way cats will let him go, but you have to give up quality to get quality).

If out recruiting team and coaches didn’t know that before tonight, then we are some serious trouble.
That also goes for some others we are being linked with. Let’s hope it’s just media hype…..

Chesser is the only one, I would be ok with, if his injuries are good to go.

 

[Ezayyak]

Curnow is an overrated show pony. We forget how many games he has missed and the games he has gone missing. Let’s get as much as we can for him and build a real footy team with grunt and power. We don’t need anymore selfish footballers.

TA

So you'd be happy with maybe a late first round draft pick or couple of seconds rounders?

 

[Rustica]

Wonder if we get an assistant or 2 from the hawks next week

 

[BlueTongue]

Jiath is manic out there.

4000 coffees and no sleep type play?

No thanks on CJ.
Great athlete, poor footballer.
