Bluemour Discussion Thread XIII - Facts Not Welcome

[dlb99]

If we get Shiel as well!! GREATEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!!!

Too young for 79, 81, 82, 87, 95?

Carlton used to win premierships, 16 of em'.

In hibernation for 25 years, but when we wake from our slumber watch out world!!!

 

[SandgroperBlue]

So in summary for Day One

In: McGovern Setterfield Russell & Pick 42
Out: 1 x PP

Not bad

Has the gov trade been done? Did i miss something?

 

[Blue and Blue]

There is also a guy named Dow who can play inside and outside and could be the best of the lot

My very own thoughts from watching him this year

 

[Wickzki]

When SOS started us on this journey he said that the goals over the coming years would be not only to add the best players but also the best people - staff and otherwise - to the club. He's had highly successful trade periods, we've added Cain Liddle, Lloyd, and today we've added Andrew Russell. The club has changed astronomically for the better in every facet.

We may have only won two games this year but the growth of the organisation far outweighs any lack of on field success that we've had. Key people around the AFL all acknowledge and understand how far we've come. We're building an absolute giant. We'll be unstoppable on field and off when all is said and done.

We're coming and we can now begin to smell their fear.

Apparently Andrew Russell and Choco Williams are pretty tight from the Port days. Wasn't it mentioned a while back that Andrew Russell was the draw card for Shiel to Hawks due to this connection?

Oopsies!!

[TooBlue14]

Ohh my old heart. I can't keep doing this

All we need is Shiel to like the post.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Looks like we are starting to see the old Carlton. Raiding other teams, picking up Lloyd and Russell. Ruthless, I love it.

Definitely turning a corner it seems

 

[reg_lower91]

Judd could be the key in Shiel deal

This would be fitting.... this would be fitting

We should have won 73, 80, 86, 88, 93 and 99 as well

**** yeah

How does he manage this? Its supernatural!

OK I'll start with a confession. I went away for a while and was about 30 pages behind when I returned. You cannot catch up from there so I skipped to the last 4 (which then became the last 10 by the time I caught up) so somewhere I have missed the pick 42 story.

Can someone enlighten me please?

State league Kruger to Geelong for 42 (they acquired in a trade of Lincoln McCarthy to Brisbane)

The Saints draft thread is a mess.
They're pulling apart the Blue's list and trying to justify why their list is better... just sad.

Love it, if they were so confident, they wouldn't bother.

The same Saints that traded pick five for Jake Carlisle only to have him suspended for a year due issues

Saints rule!!!

Out: trigg, McKay, hocking
In: liddle, Lloyd, russell

Huge.

Just need a highly rated midfield coach now. Our vacancy would surely be attractive, the chance to coach a bunch of young guns. And maybe Shiel. And of course Cripps.

The great thing about all this is we could not have had a worse year. Everything went wrong. BUT the club stuck together and stayed on the path they set. We have great leaders in MLG Silvagni Judd Bolts Liddle Lloyd and now Russell. The players are happy and see the future. Our list is full of great talent and players and staff see that and that's why they want to be a part of it. They see an exciting future.

We may not be perfect but we are well on the right track. It's great and it will get better and better

Go Blues

Thanks

 

[harrisendblue]

Hope you're right. My concern is that we're caught in "get Shiel" hysteria - no matter the price. As you say, I guess we have to trust that sos is keeping a level head.

Although 7 x 1.1m sounds like a bl**dy good deal for Shiel. Just worried we're not going to enjoy the last 3 years of it (which, if dependent on triggers, we won't be able to front load).

Way more confident that wont be an issue now that Russell has come on board.

 

[Blue and Blue]

The best thing about it is no fuss. No big stories. No leaks. Just get your target and get on with it.
And by all accounts Russell came to us

 

[Wickzki]

I am ****ing amped to see what Andrew Russell does with Jacob Weitering in the next 12-24 months. If there's a player on this list who will benefit the most from Russell's high performance knowledge it is Jacob.

Can it start with him holding Lynch goalless Round 1?
