Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

Anyone hear the caller on Trade Radio (his name was Bill I think) questioning how no official offer has been put forward - yet there are names being mentioned? And those names mentioned just happen to be managed by the same manager as Charlie. Sam Edmund was largely silent, while Kane said how it isn’t a good look. Suggesting the media are getting all their info from a certain management stable, rather than from the clubs

Probably another player manager group ringing in.
I also get “vibes” from some new posters doing the old social media influencing. (Rather clunky as well)

It should get done today. (Not sure if it will get held over due to the tv thing tomorrow night).

I think we are going to get hosed.

Two 1sts and a player (Hayward) is my prediction.

If it's Florent...

 

[xDQ82x]

“I think we are going to get hosed”, wtf do you mean by that X?

I'm not sure it's going to be as favourable as we would want and or deserve.

 

[Carltonfc9]

Cameron also a much better player than Charlie...IMHO. Especially against better opposition.

On he's day Charlie is better id say.
Cameron is a gun though can run up the field and get 20 if he's not impacting in the forward line

Hosed?!

Hayward, Florent, 2 firsts, but potentially a second going back the other way?

We are trading the most valuable asset this trade period and are not getting a sure thing back. Paying 1 good and 1 average player a combined $1.2m, more than Charlie was on.

Both false. Was traded fresh off a year similar to Charlie. A down one. I believe he was 27/28. Not 'much younger' really either. It's arguable if Charlie's knees are good that he doesn't have the concussion issues and/or overall wear and tear of a Jeremy cameron as well.

sorry i forgot about the covid year lol but my point still stands… charlie will be 2 years older than jeremy cameron was and he was the giants leading goal scorer for his entire career. He won the coleman the year they made the granny. What im trying to say is cameron is twice the player charlie is.

 

[Hurricane Murphy]

If we do truly get rinsed on this trade, then I think one big question we need to ask is why were we so accommodating to Charlies request.

Does Charlie want OUT or does he want to play for the Cats/Swans? If he wants OUT of Carlton, then surely we should've had the discussion that some other clubs need to be brought into discussions to facilitate a deal. Charlie and his team would not be in a position to protest that. Maybe Charlie could counter with 'ok just don't send me to Perth or Adelaide' and that opens up more options.

But if Charlie just wanted to play for 1 of 3 clubs (Cats, Swans or Us), then there is no excuse for a bad trade, which is seeming more and more likely. We just make something work if he we can, but if not he comes back.

And what do you class as favourable or not?

Personally, if it’s 2 x firsts, Hayward and Florent that’s a reasonable deal…would prefer Campbell but it’s splitting hairs

 

[goreds]

No club is ever going to do that to a player. They will facilitate a deal 100 times out 100

Agreed, but it's up to the buyer to satisfy the seller. Promises would have been made by Geelong in this case to Jez, so it was up to them to get the deal done.

In our case, Charlie wants out but it's not up to him, we have a contract. The only downside is that Charlie doesn't have the work ethic or team first mentality that Jez has, so the price comes off a bit.

For the record, Charlie has been ultra unprofessional for a while now. He's in for a shock once he gets up to Sydney!

Austin needs to be sacked

What if it was only 1 first?

What im trying to say is cameron is twice the player charlie is.

But he provably isn't. In two far bettter teams than Charlie has ever experienced he's put up either the same or worse numbers compared to Charlie's capacity. Even the nonsense about tackling etc. He has lower numbers than Charlie....

 

[carlton_99]

What if it was only 1 first?

Then that would be unders. The two first rounders are the most important part of the deal. Unless there is an even better player involved coming back I wouldn't be doing it.

1st, Hayward and Florent is not enough. It would be worse than the Cats deal.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Then we’ve been reamed silly and this whole board is about to be blown to smithereens

A B+ type , salary dump and two picks outside the top ten isn’t reasonable. It’s Austin doing nice guy deals like he has a history for. We will see …

We go crawling back to Geelong for their 3?

 

[Juice030103]

Don’t see that being a thing. We just rejected geelongs 3 firsts. That would be a worse deal for us and not to his preferred destination

I personally would have done it after he needlessly extended Adam Cerra vby 5 years in the off season

Austin would want a good plan with whatever the deal ends up being.

I can’t imagine sub-par results in recruiting being acceptable moving forward with our new admin.
