Rumour Bluemour Discussion thread - The sequel - I know what SOS did last Sumner

[SBYM]

all those in favour of a logic and common sense moratorium in the blumour thread please like.........

Soooo upset they took away the dislike button...

 

[SBYM]

As an aside...that was a wild week, when BF tried out all those other random post-rating functions...

WTF was all that about?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

We have to take into account that Gibbs may prefer to go for family reasons so holding on to him could be problematic.

After 10 years, the go home factor......to Adelaide.

Take him out for a coffee with Sticks on Lygon St.

Beats the pants off Jetty Road in the middle of winter.

 

[bmaurizio]

Hooper is the real deal, that's the skill level we need to make an impression, its getting very tough to put together a winning combination

 

[Kramer1]

Hope SOS has been watching Django.

We want the players they don't want to sell.

 

[BluesRule]

Gibbs has stated he wants to stay at CFC, so do not think he is forcing a trade.
Just Adelaide trying to get another good player off us for unders (Jacob, Betts, etc.).

 

[ESKIE]

Holy mackerel, taken me an hour to read through today's lot,
5 for 5 .... Feel like I'm at a Dimmy's sale.

Maybe there is something else coming our way...from another club ..is that left field?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

What you and I call depth are two different things.

The crows weakness was their midfield, specifically because their 5th best midfielder was Jaryd Lyons as opposed to the side who beat them who had Isaac Heeney as their 5th best mid.

This is why they are looking at every other teams midfielders, because players like Lyons and CEY, can't cut it with better sides midfield's.

Who was our 5th best midfielder? Where is Whiley ranked?

Menzel?

 

[Jeremias]

I'm guessing the 5 are Marchbank, Stewart, Pickett, McKenna & Palmer.

I refuse to believe we'll enter the draft without a pick in the 1st round so I reckon we'll be getting a pick back as well.

 

[TerryWallet]

Terry in your opinion who would still be there at 13? I want taranto, but he may be long gone?

IMO Taranto will be long gone. I have tried to work out who the clear Top 7 in recruiters eyes are and have come up with :

McCluggage
McGrath
Bowes
Petrevski-Seton
Brodie

as the near certainties and 2 of:

Taranto
Scrimshaw
Ainsworth
Setterfield

So, i would realistically think we wouldn't get any of those, but we could very realistically get one of the very next on SOS's list.

And who knows, one of the above might be a naughty boy a few nights before the draft lol

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Menzel?

Concussion - Test

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Sam Kerridge
12th

 

[Sheephead]

Jeremy Finlayson is a mobile, rangey, versatile, left-foot KPP with vice-like hands who can play forward or back. Has excellent disposal, especially by foot, and many of his pinpoint accurate kicks result in retained possession whether the intended target is 15 or 50m away. Has a knack of losing his opponent and quite often finds himself in space. Gets on his bike and provides an option by presenting up at the ball-carrier when playing forward, but has very good closing speed and a solid technique when playing in defence. Is a good interceptor, but knows when to mark and when to punch. Has good pace, runs both ways, is an accurate kick for goal and can stick a tackle without requiring a prematch visit to the Selleys factory. Is the type of player who you want to have the ball in hand when coming out of D50 and when going inside F50 to hit a target lace out. Unfortunately he has had to compete against Davis, Haynes, Tomlinson, Marchbank, Corr, Mohr, Himmelberg, Lobb, Patton, Cameron & Stewart for a spot and the impending recruitment of Macreadie won't assist his cause. Is only 20yo and will need 6-12 months exposure in the seniors to find his feet at AFL level, but is essentially ready to go. Was wondering who the hell he was when I first saw him. If you like Marchbank then you'll like Finlayson. In summary, if he passes the medical, yes please!!!

I once had a conversation with a bloke where I got Finlayson and Tomlinson mixed up. He was pumping this kid up to the max. It was such a good rev up, it made me fall in love with Tomlinson, even though he was talking about this kid. Definitely left field, but worth it, apparently.

 

[My name geoff]

Who was our 5th best midfielder? Where is Whiley ranked?

Id say Kerridge. I rate kerridge higher than I do Lyons. Or equal at least

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Bugger Lyons, get Lever.

 

[Kramer1]

I've had enough shopping at NQR.

Time to build our own list.

 

[RoyalParade]

Thanks mate. Perhaps venables could come into play here.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Left field, to me, think Ahern. Cant play for a year, but will be very good when rehabbed. Thats left field.

I don't think GWS have any more overpaid spuds on their list. If they have to cut salary this year IMO it'll be players like Ahern who can't get on the field

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Popped over to GWS board, nothing posted about potential trades since 4.13pm today.

Boring campaigners can hand over Cameron & Shiel if their care factor is that low....

 

[ParapMarkets]

Where were the Pups re the window last October, I wonder...

Exactly!
People like Jabba73 and TerryWallet may desperately want to see us get rid of quality at any cost, but wait until they see what that is replaced with. We need quality! Don't get rid of Gibbs unless it is a bloody good deal!

 

[2SOS]

Bugger Lyons, get Lever.

Would do Gibbs for Lever very quickly

 

[Funk]

I must be missing something. Can't we get Jarryd Lyons via the PSD? If so why send #24 to the Crows as part of a Gibbs deal?

My understanding is if Crows have offered him a contract and he declines to accept - then he must be traded or go into the draft.

He can only be a DFA if club has not offered him a contract.

Not sure how he can bypass the draft and go PSD - maybe someone else can clarify that.

 

[ShanDog]

We have to get past all the SOS love but seriously - you set a very low bar.

GWS didn't want these players they were under contract and we did GWS a favour by taking them - we accepted the deal without getting the player we wanted Tomlinson.

Yes they played games for us because yes our list was bad, but getting second rate players is bot gotoing to get us anywhere but mid table at best.

Put Lamb and Sumners numbers together and you might have a player, Jury still out on Plowman and Phillip.

Kerridge and Wright ok, but only good ordinary players and Kerridge is a ball butcherer of epic proportions.


If SOS gives up pick 5 for the group of players mentioned then we've learnt nothing from last year.

Get off us? We gave them away because of stupid trading/recruitment
