Bluemour Discussion Thread XIV - Facts Not Welcome

[gardiner stand]

Pick 6 for our future first. Get it done SOS!

I’d do that in heartbeat and take Rozee who I think will be a gun and maybe the best from this draft in years to come

 

[Stamos]

This was pretty much another wait and see trade period, which isn't bad, but really only means that the team is marginally better than where they were at the end of this season.

Marginally better?

Fasolo - Wright
Newman - Byrne
Setterfield - Mullett
McGovern - O’Shea

Marginally better?

 

[F_therest]

Predictable end to trade week was very predictable...

Couldn’t be more excited about next year. We will rise like a fcn phoenix and it will be glorious. Go the mighty Bluebaggers!

List Status:

Kerridge Graham Lamb Rowe LeBois (rookie) are uncontracted (I think)

So far we have 36 players contracted
I think we will have a minimum 3 picks in draft and 3 as rookies
That leaves TWO positions to fill with our uncontracted players or DFA's (unless we pay out anyone)

SoS had nothing better to do today than throw a spanner into the Shiel/* trade for shits and giggles.

Wonder if Essendon will bid on Silvagni again this year as pay back?

The whole SOS has done a great job narrative on here seems well unearned.

This was pretty much another wait and see trade period, which isn't bad, but really only means that the team is marginally better than where they were at the end of this season.

SOS doesn't get any credit for drafting Walsh, and to go in to the draft (as of now) with really only the one pick, doesn't really sit well. I'd want to see him move back in the draft, gain another B+/A asset, AND draft Walsh before I can take an immediate, positive spin outta the last couple of weeks.

I respectfully disagree.
He has replaced Byrne, o’Shea, Mullett, Shaw etc with Setterfield (highly regarded number 6 pick), Mitch McGovern, Nic Newman and Alex Fasolo all of whom are best 22 players round 1.

The former, with the exception of Byrne would not be on any AFL team list.

Also, to have pick 1 in tact is very important as Walsh will likely be best 22 also.

Our round 1 team is likely to look very different.

SOS has done well!

Hugh Goddard vs. Keiran Collins ... which one for a DFA spot?

Can remember 2..

Edit: had 3... missed last 5 years criteria

Seriously though anyone else feeling betrayed ?
For a hardcore carlton supporter growing up to choose the scum. Having delayed emotions I am

Setterfield barracked for *, but now seen the error of his ways.

 

[Blue Doormat]

We let them take him. He has an injured shoulder for two years, playing 0 games & SOS lowballs the Dodo with a 15th round pick

 

[katmanblue]

We keep PICK 1!

For now

Neither

 

[footyfan1978]

Gives. Nothing. Away. (Except the revelation that pick 1 was on the table for Shiel... maybe... if things had broken down).

Wrong.
Future first rounder

His redemption

He screwed up by picking them.

Shiel is a flog

 

[ericpascoe]

Ericpascoe right again

Thanks. And FWIW, I reckon Silvagni did well. Added 3 clear and one fringe best 22, lost nobody, kept our first rounders. Didn’t get Shiel, but we did come last - amazing we were in it at all. Once we missed Shiel we were never going to blow next year’s first or the salary cap space on an average, seasoned mid. Both those things - the cap space and the pick - are too valuable if we rise a bit and are therefore an attractive destination for a proper gun (Kelly, Coniglio, who knows who else) next year

 

[dlb99]

With pick 1 of the 2018 AFL draft Carlton select .... Sam Walsh from the Geelong Falcons.

 

[jd2010]

Hugh Goddard vs. Keiran Collins ... which one for a DFA spot?

Both rookied

 

[Blue and Blue]

We didn’t lose a top 22 (let alone top 2) player via trade this year and got 80% of the targets we chased; kept both pick 1 and future 1st rounder. Massive ticks for mine.!!

Not only that....there wasnt a hint of anyone wishing to leave....nothing. You got to say thats a better indicator of coach and players than the ladder and win / losses

That list shows we’re still pretty shallow. Picking from them it’s Kerridge & Lamb for me. Kerridge can take some of the hits in the middle and Lamb plays a role somewhere.
With respect to both you really wouldn’t be playing them if you didn’t have to.
Don’t know enough about the DFAs to form an opinion if there is anyone of better quality than these two.
Your thoughts Soap?

If the Suns are taking the Kings 2 & 3, looks likely Adelaide to trade up to take Lukocious at 4 and Port take Rankine at 5, Pick 6 would give the choice of Rozee or Bailey Smith. Added with Walsh, would be a great draft.
