Bluemour Discussion Thread VII (cont. in pt VIII)

The move also unsettled me. And then took some time to establish himself (understandable given his/GWS age).

But he works his arse off, non-stop (effective) running all day long. He certainly isn't sitting idly on his big pile of cash.

And now that he has finished his initial contract has reportedly taken a massive pay cut.

I think he has earnt back respect.

Absolutely, his running is incredibly impressive. Would add something that we lack.

Getting Sloane for Gibbs and a pick downgrade

Why?
Statistically near identical, Gibbs being a year older.
7 pick upgrade to a top 3 pick.
Maybe you could add to the conversation.

Someone made a comment earlier that barrass70 typically nullifies scurrilous rumours...

Out - Gibbs, Murphy
In - Rockliff, Scully, Kennedy, Smith, Saad + retain pick 3?

Nullifies is an interesting way of putting it. Best not to ask what happened to the first 3 chickens.

Just announced on Trade Radio via Manager. Interview at 12.45

It's happening!

If I was Gibbs sitting back watching this I would be looking to stay. He's done the hard yards at the club and now things look really positive. Will have a lot more support and can now spend time forward as well.

Be a real pity if he left now

Agree, as a damaging HFF to boot as well. Only concern is if he's our bargaining chip to get things done.

Trouble is club doesn't trust him to stay now, and with his free agent status looking large, club wants to cash in now. It's just smart business

Kennedy to nominate CFC

I initially read that as "Kennedy to nominate KFC".

OUT-OF-CONTRACT Giants midfielder Matthew Kennedy has requested a trade to Carlton.

AFL.com.au reported last week Kennedy was close to nominating the Blues as his preferred club, and the 20-year-old is believed to have told Greater Western Sydney on Tuesday he wants a trade to Ikon Park.

Yas Kennedy. Yas.

Yes and no.

Re. Gibbs:
If the family want to get back to Adelaide, he's thinking of them first...this time.
He'll get paid more at Adelaide. Big incentive.

Re. CFC:
Get a pick to use on Kennedy and co.
Possibly acquire another trade pick allowing us to get back into the second round.
Getting a trade-free Rockliff covers the gap to some degree.

So good. Now who's announcing they're heading our way next? Smith? Rockliff? Saad? Scully? Balic? Pavlich?...

Anyone noticing how the quality of player/s we're bringing in from GWS is getting better and better each year?

That's now referred to as a "Deledio"

I'll be shocked if he's better than Marchbank in the long run and that's not an insult

As of now he hasn't asked to be traded. Also, if he does SOS is going to be tough again. Pick 10 and a good player will be needed as minimum or bugger off. Odds are still in favour of him staying and given what we will be adding I hope he does.

It's the smart play but i guess it all comes down to Rocky
