Bluemour Discussion Thread XVIII - Please Sir, Can We Have More?

[El Topo]

I refuse to believe Daisy isn't capable of those numbers if he played in the forward line full time. He was kicking goals from half back in the second half of the season.

There's gotta be more to Daisy being let go than we know about.

Whatever it was that Soapy V kept alluding to must have been serious. Daisy is clear best 22 at both ends of the ground.

 

[Blue and Blue]

How is it silly? He wont be taking games away from anyone who is looking promising in that position anyway. That position is only going to be filled by a new recruit and until we get an A-grade crumber in the right age bracket Betts is an excellent option.

I was referring to the hysteria based on a puff piece in the newspaper wherein eddies actual words contradict the story being written. And then I gave an opinion that it seems unlikely we would do it.

After crippa won mvp and Walsh rising star wouldn’t u join to if u were wines

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

If we get Eddie back we'll have 2 players on the list to have played at Prince's Park

would have been handy to have Soapy V around now...he may have some related info

 

[LanceRomance]

Wines probably would be worth two firsts

 

[Ald Gardiner]

@ years is a long time when in your 30's But Eddie is a resilient player and e is not injury prone. A new lease of life away from that toxic club and the aftermath of the simple minds fiasco and you never know. Would 35 - 40 goals justify a second year? Simmo says hello.

Must admit I was encouraged when I read Burgoyne was 37!

I think 8 would do it even that may be a stretch seems to be regressing

One of the ITK's alluded to Daisy , "not being the consument professional that people on this board believe". Whatever that means?

 

[I bleed Blue]

I believe that was the Walker mark game too... Great night.

Sure was. I was sat with 3 * supporting mates.

Was brilliant.

Would be worth two firsts - but in the teens so pick 8 is about right. If you’re Port and your co-Captain wants out then you’re not going to make him stick to his contract. You need to get him out.

Yep, gets me excited. Perfect fit and age profile.

8 and next years second rounder enough?

Realistically I think it’s 2 firsts

Where

 

[Magruder]

Wines would cost the same as the big name GWS mids - think Treloar/Sheil

Looking at #8 + next years first with a second coming back.

 

[Duigan Alley34]

I'm not sure how much he has really regressed though, had an injury riddled time of late but still producing. Only 24/25 and contracted co-captain. Maybe pick 8 and a future 2nd? First thing Russell would do would be slim him down a bit and that excites me.

 

[ESKIE]

I hope he comes back because I am going to tag everyone who told me he definitely wouldn't.

It's going to be amazing. Tremendous. Everybody thinks so.

Except Soapy V

Lance driving the Eddie back to Carlton

 

[ibleednavyblue]

Looking forward to the hate from the usual suspects but can confirm the following is what is on the table:

Carlton: Out Pick 8 and 2020 First Round In - Wines and PA 2nd round pick (think 2019 but may be 2020 not sure)

Port Adelaide: In pick 8 and CFC 2020 First round - Out Wines and 2nd round pick

Carlton: Out Levi In: top 30 pick from GC (dependent on trades) and I stress Levi is yet to agree to this and nor is the CFC (but the Suns offering a top 30 pick is enticing)

Trying to then trade the Levi pick and Port pick for a top 15 pick for Crouch or Martin, if we can get agreement with Crows or Suns. If not, these picks will be used for a ruck or mid depth. A complicacting factor is the Crouch boys want to move together. Not sure who would have currency for both.

GC have advised Daisy they would be interested in offering him a 1 year contract with a 1 year option. No idea on his response.

Hill's price (as in salary) makes him a non-option. If he was willing to accept under $700k we would be very interested. Don't believe the Saints are the front runners - will be hard for him not to end up at the Hawks given he loves Clarko.

Ah Chee from the Suns will listen to Melbourne clubs but likely to go to WA. Suns want a top 25 pick. If we could somehow swap Levi for Ah Chee that would be amazing (this is my opinion only - no party with credibility has suggested this)

Patrick Kerr has had interest from three clubs but not sure if as a rookie or list spot. He was a tough decision for the Club. Did not show a lot this year but a few people think he may surprise over the next 2-3 years.

I tend to agree with AC... but if we can get him for 8 and a second rounder I'd be stoked.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Ollie Wines is an interesting development. He can certainly play. Although doesn't address one of our most important needs and would cost alot.

Getting Wines though would allow us to give Cripps more minutes forward (which I feel we should have done this year) which would give opposition coaches nightmares.

Ed Curnow and Murphy aren't going to be around forever so Cripps going to need more midfield support.

End of the day I think if someone of Ollies caliber wants to come to the club you get it done.

Gives massive credibility to us as a destination club and makes getting free agents etc in the future easier.

 

[dlb99]

Wines pretty unhappy about how his return to the senior team at Port was managed after he broke his thumb. Port also still pretty disappointed about the skiing incident. Would cost 8+

I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Wines is a bull, would massively help Crippa.
When in form he is just as valuable as Coniglio.

 

[El Topo]

Getting Wines would take him off the table for *FC, who so desperately need his type. We should recruit him out of spite.

 

[ESKIE]

It’s quite sad to read that Eddie is depressed and unhappy, I hope something works out for him

Not 2. We won't be handing over 2 firsts for him.
