Bluemour Discussion Thread VI (cont. in Part VII)

Stuff the cost, their both young enough to be worth it.

When you start giving away multi pick deals for one player it can become an issue..we still need quantity not just quality.

I dont have an issue with trading high picks for young talent, i just dont want us trading all our draft assets for them.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

2m Peter might suddenly be interested in a relocation for a reasonable price!

I'm not sure any forward in the comp will truly be able to excel unless the midfield is fixed first and we add some class to it and get games into our younger long term midfielders. The key to us improving as a team is improving the midfield first.

Age isn't the point, depth is.

Kelly
Hopper
Saad
Balic
Matera

If we could bring these 5 in id be happy.
Lynch at the end of 2018
Shiel at the end of 2019
Premiership at the end of 2020

Last I hear being up here in QLD, has been linked with a return West and to Freo surprisingly.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Brett Anderson posted on twitter this morning that he is hearing Hopper will choose Carlton over Geelong at this stage.

I would be most pleased if this is in fact correct. We need to provide Cripps some help inside.

Casboult into Hopper, me likey

TBH, I reckon I might be one of the few who actually wants Levi to remain a Carlton player, at least for another couple of years anyway.

God no. Enough is enough!

 

[Tommy Alvin]

If we can offload Gibbs and Casboult and in return get:
Kelly
Hopper
B Crouch + 1

And still keep a first round pick.

SOS is the greatest list manager of the modern era.

 

[Cringle]

BCrouch given his age is just about worth more than Gibbs.

Gibbs would be worth their first plus change. Anything really that equates to pick 9-13 IMO.

 

[F_therest]

I'd imagine his mail would be pretty good.
Just as long as we don't overpay for him.

I wonder how we'll pay for him given we have no second rounder...would 2018 1st do it?

Unless package deal along with Kelly then that changes everything.

In the universe!

I think Casboult is grossly under rated by our own . Although sometimes he does let himself down with intent in marking contests by being outbodied last night a perfect example .
If Casboult compo facilitated a Hopper or similar bigger bodied mid inclusion what would your thoughts be then ?

 

[ODNBlue]

In the multiverse!

 

[AndyLucimitis]

, I'll remove my forum background, delete my game replay thread (sorry s_v)...

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[katmanblue]

You got any?

With Uber onboard, we may need to pay surge pricing for our Blumours. High demand but low availablity.

..you don't want Dusty Martin thrown in there as well ??

I'd be 50/50 on this particular scenario. While it would be great to get that big bodied midfielder/ Hopper I'm also wary that I don't think we can do without him up forward just yet, the youngsters just aren't ready to carry the load yet IMO. I agree BTW, that he is under rated by many supporters. He is never going to be that 4 or 5 goals a game KPF, but what he does for us now is important, and he does it well enough to help us out for another couple of seasons. Just my opinion though.

 

[Dravid's in]

Brett Anderson has had some good info on us in the past. He was the first to link us to Cuningham at 19, SOS's love for Sier and Rhys Palmer early in last years trade period.

Was running with Cripps at #13 to us before anyone as well.

 

[El Topo]

TBH, I reckon I might be one of the few who actually wants Levi to remain a Carlton player, at least for another couple of years anyway.

I agree that he'll be a bigger loss than most realise, especially for allowing Krooz to be the sole specialist ruck. But I think we're inmore desperate need of a sidekick for Cripps.

 

[katmanblue]

I agree. If we can at least somewhat fix our midfield issues next year, then we can use that improvement as an example for luring forward talent.

That would be some magic trick.

 

[The Great Ian]

How will he be a big loss when he does very little?

A few minutes in the ruck and a couple of non-productive marks is all he basically offers.

Any one of the talls next year can fill those few ruck minutes and with Levi out of the forward half it opens it up to Curnow McKay Silvagni and others with football smarts to create.

Far from convinced that Jack or Harry even have the goods yet to be long term players for us.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

I called out Earl's Pearls when he first started and everyone was just happy to get 'rumours'. The same posters have chimed in when I was looking out for the quality of the bluemour file and I had enough.

ep, b70, ms3, theredpill, spartak, vafa06 have the best mail - as long as we keep discussing F2G posts and the likes we're all worse off. Maybe I'm driving away occasional readers but the low level posting will drive away quality posters.

To those asking what my mail is...I don't share my mail because it would harm my source, ask Aph or a few other posters and they'll vouch for me.

But hey, if you guys don't think I have the best interests of the board in mind, I'll remove my forum background, delete my game replay thread (sorry s_v)...

Manual like. I'm not interested in trawling through rumours that people have made up or heard in a pub. Rumours are never certainties obviously but I'm only interested if there is at least a tiny bit of credibility in terms of the source

 

[MitchRobinson12]

Levi was at the VFL game today with most of the boys, not sure if that means anything.
