Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXIX

[Dramoth]

Not entirely true. They can give us Nick Daicos straight up.

Throw in Josh for steak knives.

 

[branedotorg]

Pretty ordinary from Xander.
He knows Collingwood don’t have the assets to get Curnow off us with 4 years left on the deal considering we want overs, plus it would cost them more because we hate them.
So it is purely just pot stirring from a Pies supporter in the media.

Hope they get smacked tomorrow night.

More likely Carlton/Curnow's management seeding the market with rumours, trying to force a suitor to commit.

Everybody knows the pies don't have the assets but now there's more clubs in the mix and Carlton can say to the Facebook nuffies 'sure he's at Gold Coast but at least it's not Collingwood'

 

[Dramoth]

If Sydney doesn't want Carlton to block a Charlie trade, they better offer us Tom Papley and Ryan O'Keefe....

We have gone past Papley. he's aged out and is starting to struggle with injuries. We should put forward McCartin as a possibly option.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Essington bound. Confirmed.

Where?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Where?

 

[Dramoth]

Anyone notice the Charlie luv starting to fade around here?

If he stays and wins the Coleman again next year, we'll be back to loving him...

 

[Dramoth]

Harry Sheezel is also there tonight as would many other players. Obviously adds to the story surrounding Charlie atm.

Sheezel to Carlton, Charlie to the Geebungs, the usual third rate hacks Geebung discards to other clubs to Norf.

 

[branedotorg]

Carlton first could just as easily mean **** off if you don’t want to be here

That's my take on it

 

[Michael Jezz]

Jiath is no superstar but he shouldn't be judged on last night's performance. He came onto the ground when the intensity was through the roof, in the third quarter, in a prelim. Most players would have taken time to adjust to the game.

Don't disagree but we cant carry another player who can not kick

I’m sure you would agree we lack pace and footskills, Michael.

I think the question would be, where do we find players who have both at an affordable price? Everyone in the league is after them. And there is a huge premium on them.

Chesser is the only one with whom we’ve been linked that brings the full package. But he’s affordable because he also comes with a lengthy injury history.

When the list management team looks at a player like Jiath, they know he only ticks one box. But the bigger question is, does his pace allow him to open the game in a way that might allow those with footskills on our list to use them more consistently?

If he does, then maybe he is worth the turnovers. So when you say we can’t carry another player who can’t kick, you may be right. But he brings a pace we don’t otherwise have, and perhaps that opens up the game in a way we can’t currently achieve?

It’s a question only the list management team can answer.

I watch a lot of Hawthorn because I have quite a few relatives who support the club. Unfortunately what he produced last night was far from a one off.

 

[dumb]

Let me ask you this, given his performances in finals, and his on-field attitude and form this year, and all the public & media perception since he supposedly announced he wants out, do you think it’s likely he’ll suck it up and focus on returning to Coleman form?

He will unless he wants to try and build his personal brand from the vfl

 

[Moon]

Collingwood has launched an audacious bid to land Charlie Curnow for 2026 and beyond.

Err. what are they actually putting up for this audacious bid? Could be one of those dummy auction bids to drive the price up, nice work McRae.

How does Collingwood do that? I thought they'd gone all chips in to get Houston..?

I'm not happy with a Guy with Charlie's attitude being forced to stick around when he wants to leave
That doesn't mean I think we should give him away for unders.
Will it mean that he will be another Chol who only gives half arsed efforts depending on how he feels on the Day?

I don't know how you can extract 100% out of a Player unless they have a lot to lose.. which, in this case .. doesn't include losing his job for another 4 years.

Another reason I dislike the sub rule.

5 man bench
100 rotations.

 

[Moon]

Do you honestly believe that the playing group would accept that from him?

Yeah but Chol is still getting away with it (at his 3rd Club) and they treat him like a Hero.

Dimma was a wake up to him in the end and had enough. Mitchell is not stupid.
Maybe he believes a 7/10 effort is good enough from the Big Man..?

 

[Stamos]

They don’t need to increase rotations.
If anything there should be less.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Or a old favourite of mine played at Max volume

 

[Aphrodite]

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

No thanks

Pass!

i was referring to Charlie next year if he is still with us.

 

[AT97]

Yep. let's cut our nose off to spite our face

Normally, I wouldn’t advocate for that, but on this occasion I’d be prepared for any consequences should we not get an unbelievable offer.

 

[StaggerLee]

But wait there’s more

Are they turning Victoria Park into a surfing park?

 

[Smegger]

If he retired then made a come back in 12 months time. He didn't actually retire.

Mal Michael retired when at the lions in 2006, then played with * in 2007.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

And then the rules were changed

 

[sweethoney]

So Charlie approached Geelong 3-4 months ago

 

[Smegger]

And then the rules were changed

Fair enough too. It did seem suss at the time.
