Bluemour Discussion Thread XIII - Facts Not Welcome

[The Bighouse]

I won’t be popular but we shouldn’t be trading Jones. He is worth nothing, but the guy is a freak of an athlete and is 18 months in to be an AFL defender in a decent team with a consistent back 6 we will regret it by about round 9 & the media will run a story about our stupidity

Agreed

 

[Brezsa]

Agreed

Turns out I will be popular

 

[King Karl]

I'd much rather keep Jones and delist Rowe than trade Jones for a mediocre pick and have to re-sign Rowe.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Casboult for Scrimshaw would be beneficial to all parties, I reckon.

If Scrimshaw is Hawthorn-bound, happy to do a three way trade that gets us Lovell and a pick/upgrade.

 

[Azzurro]

I'm pointing out your behavior which is ridiculous and childish. Re read your post and tell me if and why you disagree. I laughed at that snake baker the other night for his melt and yours was pretty close. Shiel owes us nothing. He made a decision that he believes is in his best interests. Good for him. Time to move on

Nah. The onus is on me to prove... precisely nothing. It’s your choice if you continue to feel a certain way about the words I’ve chosen to write.

I mean, I could recommend you re-read my words, in the context of all my previous posts, to understand the “tone” or “intent” of my posting style. You know, so you don’t just jump to conclusions about the person you’re dealing with?

But then, that would require me to care for some unknown reason about a stranger’s perspective on the internet. Or (even more strangely than that) to tell said stranger how I think they should behave or act.

Assuming you won’t catch what I’m throwing though. So I’ll leave it there, regardless of your return serve.

Can’t help but think that we will use next years first on Settlefield with something big accompanying him...
Or is this mad??

taranto

 

[Funk]

Ok logging off

Generally shit day

Not necessarily.

Maybe we dodged a bullet?

$1.1 per year for 7 years (until he's 33?) plus valuable draft picks for a guy who would be a Free Agent next year.

NB: If he was a serious Carlton supporter he would have been happy to come for good pay $750K and moderate draft picks. Be a hero of the club and he would be set for life.
More fool him I say!!

 

[jd2010]

Brandon Ellis
Luke Dunstan
Dom Tyson
Jacob Townsend
Nic Newman

are the types we need (1 or 2)

then as rookies (1 or 2)

Grigg
Nelson
Bolton
Gibbons

and watch SOS pull a late surprise

I’ll be surprised if we end up with 1 of those

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Pk 42 for Jayden Hunt please SOS

 

[Space Cadet]

Still, who do we pay our cap too..

Mitch's entire contract is paid in 2019

 

[Blue and Blue]

I will just say this. All those saying its overpaying..wouldnt know.. any more than those that say good get (including myself), wouldn't know. We won't know till the crunch comes.
The crunch will be in a match not in trade period.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

So, has the MM trade already gone through? I missed that. Can anyone confirm? People are talking about it like it's a done deal, so what did we trade for him in the end?

 

[davis_756]

Next year's 2nd

Then we have no 2nd round pick to further target anyone this year and it also severally limits our ability to trade anyone in next year as well

I don't want McGovern if it is going to cost us the ability to recruit anyone else around that, no way is he worth twice a kennedy or a setterfield.

 

[Brezsa]

Pk 42 for Jayden Hunt please SOS

Be still my beating heart

 

[Metalcrusher]

**** where did all these sad sacks of shits and nay sayers spring from …. the last 48hours on BF was truly epic ….. not many fights …. not much mud slinging …

Good too see its back to business as usual with the negative venom spitters.

Carry on!

 

[HarryFlashman]

Ahhhh how about a calm of the farm, this is SOS! Sum of ALL parts! No point getting mad about 1 price, when it’s always the complete wash up that shows what we paid. I’ll save my opinions until the end of the period, there’s still along way to go, incl live trading

 

[Masqualero]

Finlayson and Scully fit those blanks or they can GAGF....

Will settle for Whitfield though.

Setters and Whitfield for future first!? That would ba amazing having 2 AA half backs

+1 for this. Feels like I’ve missed something

As I read the way this thread is descending into recrimination and irrationality I’m put in mind of two opposing but equally justifiable thoughts

1) if people want to go off tap, that’s their right, but
2) the rest of us don’t need to participate or be exposed to it

So, until next trade season, Sayonara

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

So many of our supporters would fall into a pool of lollipops and come out sucking their thumb.

I thought it was a barrel of nipples

 

[KohPhi]

So the deal is basically.

McGovern for 2 second round picks.

McAdam for a future 3rd.

If that is correct that’s a win.

McAdam would have been a very late pic or rookie pic in this draft.

It's like McAdam turned into Robbie Gray once Shiel chose Essendon.

Thanks ep

 

[Pafloyul]

Has SOS gone silly, or something? First not speaking to every club before trading our first concession for pick 42, then this.

Nooooo EP, we need you! Regardless, thank you for your work and for always giving us reliable info. It's really appreciated and for a lot of us, it's one of the highlights of our trade period.



You guys just made EP leave, dammit.

Amazing how some just seem to turn up at the right time
