Bluemour Discussion Thread III

[gandaal]

Barrett may not be the certainty I first posted.
Has apparently had a medical with Port although perhaps he is just going through the motions.

Damn!!!

It was during trade week apparently.

I wouldn't worry too much. I doubt delistees are going to be the difference between finals and mediocrity any time soon.

I think if it was a certainty we would have got him with Marchbank. Rumours are that Port into him and also Hawks to try and make up for their complete lack of picks this year.

Hawthorn are complete p*icks !

Twomey links us to SPS

I've written some brilliant thoughts on this in the Draft thread

You should all read it - you might learn something from me

Would be happy with that.
Although there are 4-5 players I would be happy with our first round pick.

And personally, there are a couple of guys I would prefer to see on our list before SPS.

Please no.

SPS has a rat tail and go home factor, we'd want to rate him much much higher than the others on the board.

Rat tail should be enough to put anyone off

 

[Faz 2000]

SPS feels like one of those most talented player in the draft guys, like Yarran and Menzel... he could be awesome, but he won't be for us.

I like Brodie for can't miss-ness. Taranto because he seems to be surging and he's got a great Carlton name.

 

[Bronze]

Cannot afford to mess up or take a gamble with the first pick. Victorian kid is a must.

 

[TerryWallet]

It has been reported widely that SPS has a desire to come to Melbourne and live and play footy.

I am sure that if SOS picks him at 5, then the "go home factor" has well and truly been explored.

Not all Indigenous kids or interstate kids yearn to stay home.

Not sure whether the rat tail is worse than then hair bands being worn?
If we draft SPS first stop from the airport should be to Jerry Seinfeld's barber Gino. Should take Gibbs with him.

Like we've had so much trouble with WA kids wanting to go home .

Not to mention that "home" is actually almost a 3,000km drive from Perth. He actually moved away from home a few years ago to improve his footy, I don't think he would be much of a flight risk at all. Just need to make sure he finds himself a Melbourne girl if we draft him.

We have now have a deticated players integration and assimilation officer, Andrew Walker so these problems will gradually disappear, the CFC will be d a much happier environment for our first year youngsters and all personal in general

As long as they aren't left too long in the Bermuda triangle that has been the Northern Blues ...

True... the last one we lost didnt even want to leave..

almost like we appointed an indigenous former player to a development and integration role in the lead to the draft specifically for this eventuality. Coincidence?

Apart from Cripps our WA strike rate hasn't been too flash of late...Lucas, Smith, Bootsma.

True, but we ended their Carlton careers for various reasons though.. it's not like they got homesick.
Cripps is settled. Armfield has been here 10 seasons and White has been here around 8 at a guess.

some of the lame reasons people are giving for taking a player..........

I see what you did there

 

[HBF]

Me too.
Brodie and Scrimshaw would be ahead of him. So would Taranto.

JOSHY COME BACK

Still love Josh.
