Bluemour Discussion Thread XIII - Facts Not Welcome

[dlb99]

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

Paddy Dow and Sam Walsh will be beastly combination in the middle in a few years, like Juddy and Cousins back in the early 00s.

We gotta keep pick 1.

 

[King Karl]

So Russell, Lloyd, Setterfield and McGovern all to be at the Blues in 2019..our facilities must be ****ing terrible

 

[Blue and Blue]

I am ******* 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.

It'll take him that long to study Weits wiring and circuitry....

How come I get the feeling that people like dealing with SOS? Seems to be the definition of 'tough but fair'.

Many list managers would be in their 40's and 50's.

SOS was a legend on the field when many of these guys were trying to break into the industry.

They want to deal with the man they idolized.

From their perspective, they don't think of it as giving up A Grade talent for second round picks. They see it as an opportunity to have a coffee with SOS, their idol

So in summary for Day One

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

Not bad

Thanks for the summary soap...
what’s 1 x PP?
And where did 42 come from? Thanks in advance..

 

[Coops93]

 

[ESKIE]

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.

Even the negative nancies have to be positive about this

David isn't the best person to ask about betting on something.

 

[gbatman]

Balanced out by Fish and Walsh.

I like the structure of our team.

If only we had a list manager a decade ago. Finally we are in the modern world.

You and every coach we've had this century! We're a professional club now.

Mature Priority Pick. Swapped Krueger (SA 19 year old) to Cats for Pick 42 (from Lions)

 

[Stig O'Hara]

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

I'd much rather he end up at Carlton

 

[TooBlue14]

Has anyone thought that maybe Sam Mitchell wanted carlton but we said **** no. He’s not been great for us over the years and do we really want his character influencing our list. It may not be a positive one.

 

[ESKIE]

Me too

Back from the farm fwiw

**** going onto * board for the melts, go to the saints board theirs one campaigner whos wrote 2 post probably over 500+ words into why carlton are so terrible, fmd how salty can they be?
Seriously have a look at this lmfao


Just my 2 cents too mate, but its like I have teleported back to 2007 / 2008 and all I can hear is “They know we are coming”

Bryce Gibbs, Josh Kennedy, Marc Murphy, Matthew Kruezer, Andrew Walker (all top 3 picks) +

Fev, Waite, Betts, Kouta, Lappin, Whitnall, Simpson, Carrazzo and Stevens.

“That’s a core that takes you to the top”

They then added Judd to that group and that got them absolutely nowhere (cough Shiel cough). I would take our current list over theirs anyday - and I don't even rate our list that highly!

Only my opinion, but based on their b+f results they will get significantly worse before they get any better. Importantly, that type of environment can really stifle player development (see GC). So no matter how high the talent base you bring in is, if you put them in that type of environment then many will struggle (players like Cripps are the exception not the rule that way). Weitering is the prime example.

Cripps, Doc and maybe C.Curnow as the only certainties from that list. The rest either have some massive question marks or are simply unexposed kids who could be absolutely anything (including not much).

For me they are absolutely faaarrrrked …. and I love it!! Seriously, if anyone is feeling down this trade period go and look at their B+F results. You will feel soooo much better about our list!

Yep as well as 68, 70 & 72

He tends to get it right though

42.
It's the meaning of life.
Also we traded with Cats for it.

 

[TheKing101]

He is going to parachute land onto Lygon street with a blues jumper on. Take it to the bank.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Yep as well as 68, 70 & 72

You........are.......a....... god!!

A four time premiership player and premiership midfield coach? Yeah not positive at all.

 

[FairKouta]

Did call the jaeger and Mitchell to the dawks way before most journos

 

[PrinceCharles]

Sounds like you need another sport then.

 

[thylacine60]

Good things await, a new era dawns for those too young to remember our last golden era.

A new era beckons.
