Bluemour Discussion Thread VI (cont. in Part VII)

[My name geoff]

So we're now discussing a trade that involves Adelaide giving up Lever and their first for Gibbs...

Why do you not we ask them to send us Sloane while we're at it?

Reckon it could work if Bulldogs swap first rounders with the crows also

Edit: that deal is written wrong.

Realistically:

Gibbs > Crows
Lever > Bulldogs
Stringer > Carlton
Bulldogs 1st > Crows 1st
Carlton 3rd > Crows 2nd
Carlton pick 3, Crows 2nd > Kelly

Crows in: Gibbs, pick 9, pick 39
Crows out: Lever, pick 18, pick 35

Bulldogs in: Lever, pick 18
Bulldogs out: Stringer, pick 9

Carlton in: Kelly, Stringer
Carlton out: Gibbs, Pick 3, pick 39

GWS in: pick 3, pick 35
GWS out: Kelly



Best 22:

Plowman Jones Weitering
Docherty Marchbank Byrne
Williamson Cripps Cuningham
Pickett Casboult Curnow
SPS McKay Stringer

Kruezer Murphy Kelly

Ed Wright Fisher Silvagni

 

[Stamos]

Carlton in: Kelly, Stringer
Carlton out: Gibbs, Pick 3, pick 39

GWS in: pick 3, pick 39
GWS out: Kelly

So it's 3 and 39 for Kelly? Why the **** would we trade Gibbs for Stringer?

Now it's even worse for us... and Adelaide reap the benefits.

And where did pick 35 disappear to??

Or you could think of it as 3 and Gibbs for Kelly and pick 39 for stringer. Much more palatable.

But in the suggested trade, it's not. GWS only get the picks we give up, Gibbs is completely separate. And 3 + Gibbs is big overs for Kelly.

Not suprising. The clubs greatest footballing family name entering it's 3rd generation. As a father he is ensuring that the club is in the best possible shape for both his sons. A male version of nesting if you will.
A great position to be in just wish it happened while Judd was here.

Agreed. The guy and his family know their way around a football club better than most.

 

[Lace_Out]

And more importantly what it takes to be the best

As in, has a significant influence beyond list management.

[Baggers]

Went to the G tonight and Alan Richardson was sitting directly behind us. He was chatting with the bloke next to him at half time. The guy asked him how the saints were positioned in the draft this year.
Richo - "Really good actually. We've got 2 good first rounders, so we hope to get 2 good players. If there are any players good enough, we might trade those picks for that player".
Not so much a rumour, but posting it her because it's possibly related to someone we might be chasing.
Footnote: Also had Nathan Buckley, Craig Lambert and Darren Crocker sitting in the rows behind us. Couldn't hear any of their chats though.

It looks bad if you don't rate Stringer..

A first and third is fair for Kelly.

I rate Stringer. All-Australian, premiership player, kicked 56 goals in a season, only 23 years of age. What more could you ask for?

Straight swap between Gibbs and Stringer is actually a good deal. We need dangerous players in our front half, particularly ones that can do damage in the midfield.

Bolton improved pretty much every player he coaches. I would hate to see what an improved 23 y.o. All-Australian premiership player with 160 AFL goals under his belt looks like..

Stringer and Beverage clearly don't get along. Plenty of rumours last year, and all the smoke has now been revealed to be fire.

 

[Jimmae]

You've still got a vanishing pick 35.

I don't rate Stringer anywhere near as highly as Gibbs, and the age gap doesn't make up for it.

 

[My name geoff]

But in the suggested trade, it's not. GWS only get the picks we give up, Gibbs is completely separate. And 3 + Gibbs is big overs for Kelly.

Picture our forward line:

Stringer: 60 goals
Curnow: 35 goals
Casboult: 40 goals
Wright: 30 goals
Silvagni: 30 goals
Pickett: 20 goals
McKay: 20 goals

Pick 3 and pick 35 for Kelly.

Pick 35 on traded from the crows for our pick 39

Stringer under Bolton would be a superstar.

 

[Bostonian]

No it's not, that's paying way under what Kelly is worth.

 

[My name geoff]

First and a second is what they actually get in the proposed deal.

First and a third is what we pay.

Honestly, stick to trading cards

Watch this and picture a Carlton Guernsey on him

 

[thylacine60]

can fend off - I'm sold

 

[My name geoff]

Stringer has kicked more goals in his career than any player on our list has in their career and he's only 23 years of age. Coming off a poor season.

 

[thylacine60]

geez, I said I'm sold.......

As well as JJ toying with his wife...........Jake is not a happy puppy at all......

 

[djw1952]

Happy to be corrected, but wasn't it reported that Lever had ruled out going to the Dogs? If true, how would the reported 3 way deal be brought up as a rumour now?

As for Stringer, I prefer we look at other options

With the Lever thing, the Dogs wanted an answer from him before the finals started and he said that he wasn`t ready to give them an answer until finals were done and dusted..........Doggies still very keen apparently.
