Bluemour Discussion Thread VII (cont. in pt VIII)

[Keyza]

NAB Trade Radio talking about Tom Lynch being offered $7M over 5 years by GCS plus a $1M 'marketing bonus' from the AFL. Reckon we're crossing him off the 'possible future targets' list right now...

Can we get a $1M marketing bonus from the AFL for one of our players too?

 

[Kramer1]

Shouldn’t have bought into the Rocky and Smith hype. Now I’m devonstated

I'm morta(della)fied...

 

[BringBackSimmo]

What? Another one?

 

[bleednavyblue]

Was he our main target though? What about Kelly and Hopper?

Kelly was every Victorian club's target! Look at Norf.......threw the big $$$$ at Dusty and Kelly and got what???? bupkiss!

 

[Gavstar]

Saad apparently to also nominate *. Lol at Dodoro landing Stringer, Smith and Saad and not using Pick 11!

If Duncan did not want to be part of the Ablett trade, do you think he might not be happy with being 'shopped around'.
Could there be a chance to get him?
Like the way he goes about it.
Thoughts?

Barass said last year we were a good chance to snag him during the Tuohy trade, indicates we have been interested before. His salary was too high or something like that though. He's coming off a better year this year too which would probs make it harder to get him in. Kinda glad it didn't happen though, broke the deadlock for Marchbank and Pickett who are long term prospects for us.

Dodoro: I've got 3 happy meals in exchange for Smith, Saad and stringer, but you don't get the toy
List managers: ....
Dodoro: actually I'm keeping the chips too
List Managers:....
Dodoro: about the cokes..

Essendon doing very well and that's very depressing

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Is Essendon only going after players with S surnames?

Stringer, Saad, Smith... who next? Smedts hopefully? or Shaw?

They really haven't done anything yet.

What? Another one?

Barrett!

 

[BlueBoyKarva]

So if we keep Gibbs and bring in Kennedy keep pick 3 is everyone happy?
It would mean we aren’t very active this trade period but I can’t see who else we would want to bring in now that SSS all to pick Essendon.

Kennedy's the best vs Smith & Saad.

Taking the risk on Stringer is worthwhile (and gutsy) for * if it pays off. Guessing he's too much of tool to fit in our young building culture but fits in perfectly with Hooker and the like.

ESSENDON has become the preferred destination of yet another player, with Gold Coast running defender Adam Saad indicating the Bombers are his favoured club.

Saad is understood to have told the Suns that he would prefer to be traded to the Bombers

 

[ChrisKaias]

Not at all surprised at players choosing Essendon over us at the moment. They look stable and competent off the field and at board level and we are anything but.

 

[HBF]

So Matt Shaw, it is?

I hope not.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Barrett!

If Dodoro can pull that off, that would be some serious good business by *.
(As much as I hate to admit that).

Matt Thompson agrees



I'm not sure there is any tick-tocking, given that the trade period hasn't even started.

 

[StandByyourMan]

ok WTF IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Angel Duster]

Far out....now Saad chooses elsewhere
I hope this is because the others are overpaying and SOS is not.....

How are we unstable off-field?

Was just about to post that tweet.

The suggestion of Trigg being replaced? But it is only a suggestion so far..

Unstable because they didn't say what YOU wanted them to say? Please.....
