Bluemour Discussion Thread III

[Aphrodite]

I seem to recall MarcShmurf saying last year that info can be correct at the time of posting yet "things change" after that which renders the deal or info null & void. This is not uncommon at all when it comes to footy rumours and/or possible player movements.

I'm not going to come out and categorically state that something is 100% concrete given the variances surrounding such comments because it is near impossible to do so with 100% accuracy, nor am I going to divulge who I get my info from either.

If you can't accept info/gossip/rumour without unnecessarily nit-picking me on it when you openly accept others comments without question then maybe you should hand in your moderators licence.

All I asked was .......... 'you know this how'.

Fyffe wants to play at Carlton though

Then you say this after stating the above:-

Like most of these things, I take them with a grain of salt until I hear the paperwork has been signed and lodged.

Yes this is a Bluemour thread & I understand things can change but there is a difference of stating it as fact than merely just a rumour.

Fyfe makes some sense because we lose Gibbs so need to replace him but also Cripps needs support and club knows this

Trick is whether the two firsts are 13 and another first Adel find, or if it is 5 and 13. That former would be the dream as we keep 5 (assume give GWS 24 for Marchbank)

Really hope its 2 from adelaide, would love to downgrade 5

 

[Jimmae]

Say that again.

We did it Aph, we broke him

Mission accomplished Jimmae

 

[Stig O'Hara]

This has been the best 'Carlton - 0 trades', trade thingy ever!!

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

No. It values him at #6

Richmond supporters won't be happy.

Unhappy Richmond supporters???
I'll believe it when I see it!

 

[Coops93]

So, even though it's unlikely, how would we feel if Carlton made no trades this off-season?

Gibbs stays. We keep pick 5 and have 24 as our top 2 picks.

IMO it probably means we need to hit with 5 and hard. Probably will need to be instant best 22 and have some impact (not Weiters level, but decent enough). With 24 perhaps more of a Silvagni type deal. Comes in mid-late season and shows decent signs. Puts a lot of pressure on these picks if that's the case.

Club has clammed up. Probably a good thing.

Hey, happy birthday The Older Dark Navy's!

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I can't keep up. Gunston and Hartung for #5? Not sure I like that.
Offer with Freo for Fyfe (assuming #5 and #13).
Assuming above offer, Gibbs deal effectively done? What's the damage?
Assuming above offer, what are we left with to deal to GWS? #24? Future pick(s)?

Wish this would all hurry up and end, I have work to do you know!

 

[ferrisb]

I understand people spelling Tuohy and Cuningham incorrectly, but FYFE?! FYFE. FYFE. Not Fyffe.

Get it right, people.

FFFS!

Can't sweet talk players into nominating us as their preferred destination and then slam the door in their faces.

Idea that we don't do the Marchbank Pickett trade at the minimum is nonsense.

Not sure but this will be this board as a whole

I had forgotren about those two

 

[perthblue]

Two questions: One, where's the fife? and two, gimme the fife.

Is it? Let's hope so.

Three, are you now dead to Mebby for fife? I mean life.

Who knew Shakespeare was so into football..

 

[Schrempfian]

at least all these new rumours has pushed the Gibbs thread down the list

Why not?


Adelaide are doing it..

Agreed, surely pick 25 gets this done.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Hamling just traded for a couple of pick upgrades in the 2nd and 3rd rounds... why are we trading so much for Marchbank again?

How much are we trading?

 

[dragonsblues]

I'd feel a lot more comfortable about the wait on Gibbs, GWS 2-3 and Geelong if we were able to get one of the Bulldogs boys across the line in the meantime. Just feel like we are leaving too much with not enough time...
