Bluemour Discussion Thread XV - Facts Not Welcome

[thylacine60]

Probably shouldn't have used Blighty as an example... point taken

stands out from the entire last week of this place for one very good reason

 

[thylacine60]

Always is when it comes to recruiting

like you and me looking back at that last batch of dumplings.........

Handy fellow.. General .. President .. Unionist....

Bought all those classics in some Book of the month club.

They’re all there, Inferno, Faust, something about a Butterfly...

Folded page corners and left them out for people to think I was reading and thinking.

Totally faked it.

Hippies.

Harsh. But funny....

Granted Constable looks like a solid player but don’t think he has that X factor however with TDK I see something in him that might make him an exciting prospect.Worpel was highly rated but dropped down the order I think because of his disposal but the player we should’ve taken was Richards at 10 instead of LOB.At this stage he is way in front of him.Im thinking the reason why we didn’t is because we have Willo who can play that role.Hopefully LOB can turn out to be a gem.

IIRC - Richards had a pre-draft meeting with SOS at Carlton and rocked up one hour late.

We were never going to draft him after that.

 

[Funk]

Look at Geelong, they have Dangerfield, Selwood, Duncan, Menagola and they continue to draft midfielders.

They play them a season in the VFL side, and then let them go, Constable etc.

And the Cats still don’t have a decent ruckman.

Imagine how good that team would with Gawn/Grundy tapping the football down their throats all day?????

I hope there was more to it than that. These kids have hectic schedules with both school and sporting commitments.

He could have had an interview prior to the meeting that went longer than expected.

I reckon we just rated O'brien ahead of him.

 

[RudyBlue]

To summarise, Carlton positives in 2015 = Cripps. Fast forward to 2019, Carlton positives = Cripps.

****.

Facetious?

Said he got stuck in traffic.

You must understand it is bloody hard to swallow though ….. 66 game reset... rebuilt …. whatever. Pub fans want results FFS. Just ask any plethora of posters in the ANY gameday thread.

Difference is, I'm 46yo, I've see the blues play in flags, youngsters have not, fair weather sailors need to harden the **** up, cough up or **** off. FFS Aint's haven't won a flag in how long? Footscray, before 16??? or whatever year it was. Hell geebung haven't won a flag since 12. The Brions? 2003 ….. Suns???? GWS? (yes they have been around since 2012! That's 7 years ago!

Premiershipmond? How long between drinks?

Its all bloody relative.

Will be sweet when we get to 17 Tinman, hope we are still young enough to enjoy it to excess.

Is that all it takes to get out of Carlton drafting you?

Don't let that get out. Everyone will start rocking up late.

Keep him away from our kids, ffs

“his herendous to listen too in pressers”

With grammar like that can I assume STEVE PILKINGTON is a Crows supporter?????

 

[Eiffel 65]

We’ve got interest in Galluci from Adelaide but he’s contracted for next year. Sos has been talking to his management so if he decides to come back we’re in front......maybe not known but he trained with us about 3 years ago as part of that program where Under 18’s spend time at an AFL club ( like Walsh did at Geelong) so there’s already a relationship established.
You heard it here first folks!

I'd be interested to know why he's out of favour at the Crows.

Even though he's contracted, if he's not getting a game, he's only worth a third round selection.

He's the exact player the Crows need right now.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

We done with Nixon????

It bores me.

Give me Carlton people stories....

We’re talking end of 2020 he’s contracted unless he requests a trade. The way I understand it he’s in the frame for next year.

Coming from a supporter of a club who hasn’t won a flag since the Beatles were the new boys in town

 

[mediumsizered]

So just finished a conversation with one of Richmond’s players brother initials BH.He is a very passionate Carlton supporter who is also in the know.Has said the following:

Bolts and SOS DO NOT get along at all.Not the coach to take us to the next level according to him.
We have a great bunch of players with no direction/game plan.Players are extremely confused with too much information.Jsos loves the club won’t leave unless told to.Stocker will play this or next week.Players being played out of position mentioned Gibbons and E Curnow.Watch Willo when fit.

Thought I’d share.

Had this same person in my house a couple of years ago. He is about as in the know as what I am, but he is not half the decent bloke I am. No doubt he would like to think he knows stuff because his brother is an AFL player, but alas he doesn't.
