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

[VeinGlorious]

Smith's junior record speaks for itself.

Has way more hurt factor than Walsh

Smith is a jet

Completely different player to Walsh

Walsh is a cyborg

Caldwell and Smith a good comparison

In my opinion

I’d give up next years first for Caldwell

Pick 18 is cheap

In my opinion

See how much better posting is when you use "In my opinion …" lol!

Shut up

IMHO?

 

[Blue Rising]

Didn’t he spend most of the year in the forward line/half forward flank?

He did when Bolton was playing him out of position. Not when Teague came in and started using him correctly. He's a mid, where he played all of his footy that led to him being picked up.

Dan Butler is a good start, upgrade on Polson and Lebois which certainly makes our list better.

 

[Metalcrusher]

So Butler looks almost there and Betts seems likely and Papley still better than 50/50. Does that mean we don’t get Sam Gray now? I thought that was pretty much done a month ago and don’t recall hearing anything to the contrary since.

Gray was backup plan D

 

[Schoonerman]

I hope we pay Polson out as there’s no way he’s getting a game ahead of our proposed recruits

 

[Juddernaut08]

Pleased with this. Plenty of irons in the fire, but a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Interesting to see if he demands a best 22 spot or remains fringe as currently at Tiggers.

Townsend a solid player, but would be depth only, sensible decision.

What if the bird in your hand is a sparrow though?

 

[El Topo]

Why we no want Townsend...

we don't have the Warchest

Trade period cannot come any quicker, with us starting to turn on each other


It started with a 76-page breakdown of the footballing ability of Jye Caldwell, courtesy of a HARKER comment


What followed was then a back-and-forth between Arr0w and the rest of the board, comparing our very own Rising Star Sam Walsh versus everybody under the sun. Sufficed to say, our reactions were in sync


But this morning brought us fresh resolve, with news on soon to be VFL Grand Final Player Dan Butler becoming a Blue


It won't be long until we start to flash out the bat signals (calling gezimnexhipi) for more morsels of info ahead of the trade period


Now... KohPhi - show us how its really done.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

I wonder where Casboult’s at.

Early talk on BF after season ended was wanted to stay but wanted longer contract security than what we were offering. A few put 2 and 2 together and said Gold Coast.

I guess the following:

- SOS offers Casboult a year at $400-450k and a trigger for a second season

- Bulldogs and Pies put 2 years guaranteed and trigger for a third season. Money up to $500-550k, and

- we get second round pick compensation.

- we get screwed over by the AFL on compensation.

I hope he gets moved to the NBs midfield to play for his career in his best position.

EFA

AFL would have to explain the difference with ... ahem ... Fasolo.

 

[Meddy43]

Apologise if this has been covered, but I skipped about 20 pages. I figured there wasn’t heaps of solid content amongst them.

If we do secure Butley, Papley and Betts does this push Martin(if we land him too) up the ground? I don’t know heaps about him. Or would he and say Papley both rotate between midfield and small forward positions. I don’t know heaps about either of these guys or what they are capable of...
Please and thank you.

 

[Coona Blues]

What if the bird in your hand is a sparrow though?

SO - if Butler is a Sparrow, can I have your assessment of Lebois, Polson, Fasolo, Garlett, Pickett and Deluca as forwards please? Hummingbirds and insects?
We are upgrading and have delisted at least four perceived small forward options, where is the issue if Butler is added to Papley, Betts and the more versatile Martin?

Happy with a bird in hand. (How many tall defenders are we hoarding on the list?)

Martin is not a small forward imo. High HF, mid, wing type

 

[bluebrew]

Wow,
We’re sitting here comparing oranges, lemons and limes...
All are great and all have their place....c’mon boys we have the best young kid seen in a long time so let’s not worry about the ones we don’t have.
How bout we go get McCluggage....I like the way he plays

And it happens every off season pre draft and trade periods for some reason..

 

[lily of laguna]

It is great knowing that players are keen to move to the mighty blues.
We haven't managed to land the big FA, but in my opinion Shiel is not the big loss, and cogs stayed, so we didn't get out done by a rival bidder eg. Dorks.

* off we will turn him into a HB Flanker.... don't you worry yourself about that one now!

 

[Blue and Silver]

Can Martin play in the ruck ?

Yes.

 

[HBF]

But that goes for all player, development is never linear

Exactly.
So saying that Walsh has aspects of his game to work on is redundant.

 

[ajs071]

For this thread being a rumor thread, there seems to be a lot of talk about anything but. I am sure there is a thread for general discussion???

Predicting that Butler will end up being the recruit that surprises us most next season; in a good way. Come at me.
