Bluemour Melting Pot XIX - Give Me Ed Baby - Return of the Prodigal Son

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I wouldn't be surprised if Macreadie is involved in some capacity.

No big deal

So where are we at with Martin's trade value?

Future first required or second gets the job done?

 

[HBF]

Even their overpay strategy, hasn't worked of recent times in terms of big names from what you hear

How they can pay Polec $700k is beyond me. Its insane

Looking likely that future 2nd or early 2019 second will if talk is to be believed. Based on $600k/3 contract, that's about right. Late first max value if picks came back our way.

Heard from * member last night Daniher to Swans very likely. We are involved in the talks for Papley who wants to come home and to here. May have to involve players going out though due to leagues trading draft pick rules.

Can also confirm Ellis rumour of changing asking price and subsequently rebuffed. From my boss who is related to Ellis (15th cousin twice removed or something) and also a Richmond supporter. Apparently he was a done deal but thought he could milk us for more after Cogs re-signed. We said - do you have Dan Butlers number champ.

If that's the case, we better not lose any of our core players under the age of 24.

Defeats the purpose of bottoming out and acquiring them through the draft.

Was thinking the same thing because our future first could still be anywhere from pick 4 onwards. Too valuable for such a trade.

The rumours were flowing at that point in time. He wasn't looked highly upon on the training track and in the club.

Just nobody thought we'd have the balls to do it.

There's a few we got rid of at the right time, and a couple to the cows in Menzel and Gibbs.

No one could have predicted Cloke changing his mind in the carpark.

We dodged a bullet there anyway.

We all should have predicted it was all a pretty dance by Cloke Snr to extract maximum contract $...

 

[myblueroan]

Where are we meeting him? ferrisb you are the kind of meet ups? KohPhi


I vote not the royal as that might come on too strong.

Pssst
Alex, Newy and Papley makes three...
In the tree house.
You make tea and
I'll bring the oats.
Be quiet climbing cos reporters!!!
Knock 'dadadadadah' on the door.

Up to page 85? When did that happen? FMD!

As long as it doesn't turn into another laidler situation

Marchbank is an elite interceptor who has the occasional brain fade when kicking out from D50.

Why would Sydney want that? They already have Aliir Aliir performing that role perfectly!

Hey you've got work to do on the player reviews thread. Stop ******* around

Oooh, what we up to?

BRB.

He was happy with the money, he just felt he'd regret leaving the Pies and not being a 1 club player. Nek minnit only 1 good year, several poor ones and he's a 2 team player anyways.

 

[zeggie]

Think they felt they had to sign someone, anyone, to appease their supporters.

 

[mochacinolatte]

The level of stalkerish we do on players instagram is creepy.

Future second and something else to get it over the line. Daresay we'll get another second from another trade somehow.

I guess one way of not seeing advertising is to subscribe to the site.

Advertising I don’t mind, helps keep this site ticking over

There has to be a better alternative to punting companies though....

And yes, I’ve been a punter for most of my life

I'm sure I saw a cloke playing for carlton - was that part of the long, cold winter and never actually happened?

was that the same winter Setanta kicked him up the ass

 

[rog1995]

Seriously people saying a second rounder isn't enough for Martin. The guy is uncontracted, been dropped and has been inconsistent. A future second rounder is a fair deal.

He's a first rounder on potential and a second rounder on recent form.

There abouts I would say

Overall value in the 20-26 range

I would do our 1st next year for their Lions pick this year, plus some late swaps

My favourite was giving Jordan Russell to the Pies it almost made up for Cam Cloke playing for us
