Bluemour Discussion Thread VII (cont. in pt VIII)

[Ruckus]

Sam Hayes may slide to #30, that is my hope.

I wouldn't use a pick - any pick - on a prospective long-term ruck project, perhaps possibly ever again.

With the way the AFL are seemingly determined to make the ruck contest anything but a contest, I see traditional ruckmen going the way of the dodo. Let's trade for them, for now, until such time as Shaun Grigg-likes are the ruckmen du jour, before things possibly swing back the other way due to some incomprehensible rule change... by which time Hayes may be available for a trade of pick 95.

Plus players like FreosvDarcy are always available late. Mumford was a rookie pick, sure there are plenty more very good rucks from late in the draft or rookie draft. Too busy to check though.

Connor McLeod of the Clan McLeod?

There can be only one.

Not too many uncontracted players left... if Ben Howlett or Jackson Merrett are delisted, would we consider either one as DFA (would add experience to the midfield, especially the former)

Suban could be an option as experience in the middle when needed. Wonder if O'Rourke is worth a punt too. If they become DFAs they could be a free hit.

O'Rourke is the one I think we'll get. And he'll be the "favour" from hawks.

Y tho?

SOS has shown an affinity for targetting guys he drafted early (connected to plowman, marchbank, Pickett, Whitfield etc).

Only traded O'Rourke to hawks when he requested a trade. Orourke has had a terrible run with injury, and maybe we feel he's worth a punt more than pick 73 in a shallow draft or Nick Graham?

Jimmy Bartel threw out a big hint.

If we get Jimmy, Aphrodite will lose her shit.

It'll be her happiest day since we lost Sean Hampson.

Can't see because paywall. But if this is the old article he took back those comments on trade radio

 

[Stamos]

No way we're drafting Jimmy

Id have him as a DFA.

Great bloke, comes with Geelong premiership experience, good for the young kids, wouldnt ask for much cash.

Sign him up to Northern, or as an assistant (playing) coach. Love Jimmy, but he doesn't warrant a list spot.

Is the favour us getting someone to keep Rowe company in the rehab group?

 

[Funk]

Weren't we also linked with WAFL player Kelly (2nd this year in the Sandover) ... Maybe that's what 72 is destined for?

Eagles traded in 21, 26 and 37.

I reckon they did this to nab some local lads - including Tim Kelly.

Sadly I doubt he'll get to us.

We have eight spots left to fill. 4 will come from picks in the ND (3, 10, 30 and 73) leaving a few holes.

We need to sign a DFA or two by my count. He'd be useful depth.

We have 5 list spots left, 4 senior, 1 rookie.

Didnt we delist 10 this year, and have only brought in 3?

Tthat leaves 7 doesnt it?
