Rumour Bluemour Discussion XLI

[DigbysLovechild]

Death riding the Swans for two years. I'm here for it.

 

[crocodilian]

I am ecstatic with that result.

3 firsts and Hayward is maximum value for a wantaway star.
Florent cheap.
Chesser cheap.
Ainsworth may have been slightly overs but a position of need filled.

We didn’t fold and overpay for Buku.

Great result!

Don’t forget Reidy for pretty much free

 

[YeoShuey]

Mackie gave up on Curnow and went for Marshall.

How did that go for you? LOL

 

[Ruckus]

Some are far too quick to judge trades and declare them a 'win' or a 'loss', particularly when there are future selections in the mix - let's assess the Curnow trade in three years, I reckon.

The 2027 pick headed to Sydney could be selection 19, feasibly, with 18 coming back the other way - and yet everyone in here seems to be rapt with that third 'first rounder' - too early to say, surely?

 

[4thchicken]

Given what the hawks were willing to pay for Merrett, perhaps we can get a good deal for Cripps in 12 months time?

 

[Benaly28]

Anyone thinking that’s a shit deal has rocks in their heads.

3 first round picks plus Hayward.

What more can we have asked for a player who is one knee injury away.

Dean and ISON this year,Cody next year.

We’re obviously re setting on the run.

 

[TENACIOUS]

This isn’t a rant because we didn’t get Humphrey. It’s being sick of the club being shit. Wright was supposed to fix us, but we sit here worse than where we were the day he took over.

How the **** can the club be proud and think they have come out of this offseason a better club.

Wright & Austin (are duds)

• Wright - Keeps Voss (who admitted he’s failed)
• Wright - Gets Davies (never made a GF) Dailey available
• Wright - Gets dud assistants
• Wright & Austin - Lose Curnow, TDK & JSOS
• Wright & Austin - Bring in a bunch of C-Graders, plus Ainsworth and Hayward, while giving away 2x A-Graders
• Wright & Austin - Publicly state we require an A-Grader and fails
• Wright & Austin - Has Buku nominate the club and doesn’t get it done.

It’s a massive fail, Wright has some work to do to!!

PS: Thanks to the ITKs for the excitement today! Don’t blame you guys!

 

[Sonny Jim]

Good to see CC trade done…

But in net, how different a deal is it compared to what tge cats offered…
3 x 1st rounders over the next 3 years ?

I’m happy we traded Hayward and tge Only diff I see if we got Hayward for the pick swaps …which probably neutralises the pick swaps?

What am I missing?

Big upgrade on this year's first instead of Cats first, plus Hayward instead of no Cats player. Big difference. Cost us picks we won't use this year, plus a future 2nd as opposed to the Cats deal.

 

[Chism]

I'll call it now. Finals in 2026.

With who as coach?

 

[Gavstar]

McGovern will stay now me thinks.

In the VFL?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Id really hope we try and move up the draft or shift into next year, Dunno about Dean and Ison swallowing up, 9 and 11.
43 and 54 are basically useless.

Chances are 9 pays for Dean and we draft a kid at 11, or trade it out for another 2026 F1. 43 and 54 will come in a little bit and might end up covering a bid for Ison in the mid 30s. We will make that one happen on the night.

 

[BluesByNature]

It's just the people who convinced themselves we were getting Humphrey.

This deal is great imo.

Hayward, ainsworth, florent, Chesser, and 3 first rounders? We have had one of the best trade periods ever

 

[ctwenty1]

We dodged a bullet not getting him IMO. Decent enough player but can't see him being best 23 long term.

we probably wnated to move on from McGovern

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Yep, and Curnow is one Bondi dumper away from another knee malfunction.

He's surely gonna do his knee in the Bondi skate bowl.

 

[Jd15]

Austin needs some respect. The only trade he has really missed on is the Cerra trade although theres still time for that to pay off.

 

[Brezsa]

We are horrendous at first round picks, and we have no forward line.

You guys needed players and picks and you’ve got Harry McKay.

Could be one of those trades that hopefully benefits both clubs.

Sydney would want this current crop to work. Tight on cap, no first round picks for 3 years & Tassie about to destroy the draft. Wouldn’t want to go into 2027 & need a refresh

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

We still have Voss as coach mate.

You think he will be the leader to take us to a flag?

He wont last next season.

i bet you're fun at parties.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

What's the rules with trading picks before the draft? Does it have to happen draft day or can it happen from now until the draft?

There'll be a window up until a couple of days before the draft

 

[Foucault1989]

Trade means shit when Voss is at the helm. Give us 5 top 10’picks and Voss will destroy them anyway while playing his love children anyway.

Voss destroyed the Lions his own idol of a team and has not got a clue game plan wise.

Picks mean shit when he is in charge.

Jesus mate. Relax.

 

[Zlatan]

It was Buku vs a 2027 first round pick.

We chose the first rounder.

That’s good cause I wouldn’t offer more than an F3 for Buku so…

 

[gunslingr]

Filled in our most pressing need with today's trades: our new official seltzer partner should slot right in for Round 1

 

[Accidental genius]

Geelong didn't offer a decent player on top of that. Big difference there.

Yeah but for Hayward we paid 2025 picks 32 and 42 (2025) and a second rounder in 2027?

Which imo sort of neutralises the deal…although I do rate Hayward.

(Edit: 2025 1st rounder from swans is much better compared to cats 1st rounder)

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Imagine the currency we now have to bring in high end young talent - 6 1st picks / 3 years & lots of cap space freed up.

Perfectly placed to bring in someone big & fishy!

Huge really.

 

[Chemical]

When do the Tasmania first round picks kick in is it 2027 or 2028?

2027

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

2027 pick won't be a 'real' first rounder with all the Tassie gifts

Yeah it will they have to trade a bunch of their gifts. It gives us the ability to be in any of those deals
