Bluemour Discussion Thread XII - Facts Not Welcome (cont in pt 13)

[BringBackSimmo]

Dunstan is a better player than Kerridge

 

[Bluella]

Bluella have you recruited more members to the cabal ?

Sounds like MEB is doing it for me in the GD board.

 

[Aphrodite]

I really hate to self promote but I got inspired by a meme and made this for you

 

[PrinceCharles]

zeeCFC earls (aka b temple sorry aph) completely ripped off your edit of shiel in carlton gear fyi.

zeeCFC please tell me you did a cheeky watermark.

Awesome we need some more members

 

[Mezzoculo]

Got it in one.

Yep. And everything we're told / are expecting as fans is that the club has gone past the need for these types. Keep Kedge and back in our ability to turn up a diamond in the rough with whatever we'd use to trade for him. Greater risk but the potential reward is higher.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Sounds like our chances of nabbing either Shiel or gaff quite heavily relies on getting the other...

Eg if gaff knows we're getting Shiel, he's more interested in joining us as he'd be more confident of our short term future.

Probably same for Shiel. No doubt big part of hawks pitch would be more likely immediate success than Carlton and playing with mature midfield support in Mitchell, jom, Smith and Shiels.

But if he knew gaff was coming...

I would certainly suggest that Gaff would/ could reassess us as his landing destination should we be able to secure MM and Shiel. Im not sure that without a commitment from both of these players at least, that we would be a viable option at present.

 

[Boy with chook]

Oh, right... i was thinking Trading Period doesn't start until the Monday afterwards.






Fortunately CTRL + R works too.

F5 for mine.

 

[zeeCFC]

The watermark is the fact Hawthorn will get him

 

[Stamos]

You are kidding right?

A player of Gaff's ilk, will not end up in the PSD, SOS wouldn't do it, nor will Gaff be part of it.

WC match the bid, not to keep him, but to force better value than the compo pick, as the Crows did with Danderfield

Dangerfield is the only time that has happened, and it happened because Geelong gave him unders on his contract, ie they were happy to pay for him in draft picks rather than contract dollars.

If Gaff chooses Carlton, we’ll be paying in $$$, we won’t give up any players or picks

 

[juzza316]

Anyone that talks about using the Pre season draft to get a star player should have their big footy license revoked.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Shiel isn't a better footballer than Docherty. He is quality but just below elite status.

If we miss on Shiel, Dunstan is a solid plan B who will help Cripps whilst others develop.

Confident we will land setters who is another super talent.

Walsh will be our version of Josh Kelly, don't trade 1 unless the offer is too good to refuse!

Based on what criteria exactly? There can hardly be a like for like comparison, they don't even play the same position let alone have the same attributes as each other.

Forgot about that.

Fuel up the jet Matho......time for another Noosa lunch.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

No way SOS, sends him to the PSD, nor will Gaff be a party to it.

We would hand something over, slightly better than the compo pick they would get

I absolutely think the AFL would compensate WC handsomely for Gaff anyway.

I nominate you as the pilot.

They can only handout pick#19 (20 after Lynch compo) as per Buddy’s transfer.

 

[Zuribagger]

If the compo is there to be had, why not let em take it from the AFL's pocket instead of CFC's and simply give them slight overs on another trade eg a separate pick swap...

 

[Stamos]

Anyone that talks about using the Pre season draft to get a star player should have their big footy license revoked.

It would happen if the player was a Free Agent and chose to go to the bottom club, and their club decided to match

 

[Aphrodite]

OI

And you are

 

[jackoisno1]

Gaff would cost $1 milliom
Shiel would cost $800-$1 million
McGovern is around 600k

Thats a lot of $$

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I'd like to know how we can turn that into Scrimshaw instead.


A pick after their first round pick, so 19.


He's a solid addition to the list if his contract and trade value are cheap. We've got a pick in the 60s.

Agreed, I like Brodie, but would prefer Scrimshaw.

 

[Robert Heatley]

I heard this too! Both king boys are going to be rippers but our tall stocks are at capacity atm after trade period.

Do they have ruck potential (in a few years)?

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I’m not worried about our list. It is chock full of talented kids that should bring the result. SOS has seen to that.
What I’m concerned about, is what I have been raising for a year or 2. Burning the kids out and not supporting them with quality and losing them because we do not improve to play finals, quick enough. That is a huge concern and has been proven with other teams. Cripps, Curnow, Weitering, Marchbannk, Dow, Fiasher, etc....will be chased by other teams, as all good top end picks are and we need to be in a position to have our club a power again or we lose them.

GWS and GC are the 2 clubs we have set this blue print up against - take note of their prediciment.

100% This!

gonna miss that flight......
