Bluemour Discussion Thread XIV - Facts Not Welcome

[albyg]

But for pick 1 or our next years 1st. Thats a no. And thats my point

Fair enough, I'd do next year's 1st with a 2nd rounder coming back. Most believe he is worth pick 5, I'd be quietly confident our future first will be around that. The 2nd rounder coming back would be a bonus.

Like this post if you have seen at least 1 whole game of Walsh in the flesh.

If you want to like-whore, this was a poor choice

You'd be a fool to not try and get in May's ear. He's a gun.

 

[Zlatan]

The less players we need to carry the better, especially your main Beckman. Whenever we played WCE, Sydney, GCS (now Richmond) I would twitch thinking of either Rowe or Jones on these guns. Honestly would you feel better knowing May was playing on them? Imagine the rest of the backline, they'd love it. This isn't measured in wins, it should be measured with confidence and assurance that Doc/Crippa/Simmo/BB know they can rely on May getting the job done, insyead of worrying about what ifs. That is immeasurable.

Not even SOS himself would be able stop any full forward with how our midfield performed in 2018.

Ugh, this trade (and draft) coverage thing is so cynically commercial, so shamelessly cheap, concocted and makey-uppy, like everything else the AFL touches - such blatant steps to shape the product into something it's not in ways that nobody has really asked for (aside from the league's commercial partners, of course). A naive attempt to trump up prestige by mimicking US sports in the misplaced belief that this will somehow elevate the status of the game. It's all a bit embarrassing, really.

The only thing keeping me invested in any way is the love for my football club - the rest of the 'show' is of less interest with each passing minute.

are you me?

Where’s this May talk coming from?

Because he is now trying to sell himself to anyone who wants him. Pity he is a major flog.

I bet if we had pick 12 and offered it to gcs today, they would take it. So to me, next years 1st is a no

Has to be a place to get counterfeit picks

 

[KohPhi]

My 2 cents worth..

It can be pretty exciting when we swap picks for multiple players and Ill be the first to put my hand up and look at various ways of bringing players in for our 2018 and 2019 1st rounders etc.
I remember driving home when we traded in Plowman, Phillips, Sumner and Pickett for what seemed like jack shit picks thinking "Shit we needed this injection of new players'.

But we are at a different stage now. We don't need to manufacture trades to bring in quantity. We HAVE enough quantity and more importantly, we have QUALITY amongst that quantity. On every line. What we need now is gilt edged talent. Id like to think Walsh will be that, so let's take him. We will probably have a top 5 pick in 2019 so again, let's just take the best available. Lets add the cream to our seriously talented, albeit young list.
Unless a Neale, or a Kelly becomes gettable, stay strong SOS and keep the picks.

Not sure about 12. However our future 1st with a 2nd coming back probably gets close to the 12 mark.
