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

[Blue__Balls]

Is Lewis Taylor a better option than Sam Grey?

Think Gray is a bit more team-first than Taylor, who has always struck me as a rather ordinary small forward without much in the way of game smarts.

 

[Nori]

Yep, if we get Eddie Betts over on a one or two year deal, all the indigenous players in the land will flock to us...

Time to offer Eddie a pathway into a player welfare. 1-2 years as a player and then footy department role.

 

[Doro]

Doro to ask for

11 x 1st round picks
100 bottles of Evian that are exactly half full
2 x 2nd round picks
12 dozen roses, with stems cut 4.5 inches long
4 x 3rd round picks
1 tonne of M&Ms, all the brown ones removed
A 4th round pick
A full-scale replica of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, made out of paddle pop sticks
A future 5th round pick

He is said to be flexible on the last demand.

Well I certainly agree with the M&Ms evaluation

Thing there's another bloke in Adelaide who used to play for us that's a bit better.

Richmond have shown that you cannot have too many small/crumbing forwards, although I find it a miracle they managed to turn someone like Castagna into a halfway decent player (and to be fair, I am led to believe he has really worked his backside off at pre-season training over the years)

Developing our own from within is my preference, but SOS has looked elsewhere in the draft.

Three team trade?

Carlton, Sydney, Drug cheats

Paper bags vs COLA vs drugs

It's like an illegal death match tournament.....

RE: Martin, SPS would absolutely be an important pull/factor in making the move to a non-native state given their relationship. Just as Papley/Newman would be when it (if) comes to asking to leave and nominating a club.

From what I've been told, he may move with Essendon's blessing. I've probs said too much already.

If your account is deactivated in the next 24 hours, I'll make sure your wife and bubba are looked after. It was nice knowing you, buddy.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Taylor is a weird one for me. Caleb Daniel has turned into the player I thought Lewy Taylor would become. Seems these days all Taylor can do is chase his tail

I heard from a couple of different Lions fans that apparently Taylor isn't very well liked amongst his Brisbane teammates, which is pretty much a red flag for me.

 

[JuddgementDay]

What is a fair value trade for Martin?
Early 2nd for me, on the edge of 1st rounder

As a buyer, we want to pay as low as possible; but, if Martin was in our team what would be an acceptable trade him for?

 

[GudOnya]

From what I have heard Daniher has been approached by Sydney, not the other way around, so doesn't necessarily mean he wants out of *.

Also wondering why so many here seem to want to play Martin in the backline if we manage to get him? We have some great defenders already, yet we're crying out for small forward type but now we're a chance to get someone who can excel in the role people are saying move them to defence?

Maybe I'm just missing something here.

 

[Jeremias]

Kicked 83.74 goals from 96 games, idk surely we'd want someone who is more of a goal threat, and more accurate ideally?

130 scoring shots over the past 3 seasons, which have been spent primarily as a small forward, with stints up the ground.

Good solid numbers when compared to the output of similar players over the same time frame, yet Gray won't cost anywhere near what the others would.

Gray is no star but has proven himself a very capable forward who is comfortable adding to the midfield rotation. He's not a highlight reel player but a very smart addition for the likely asking price.

They’d be nuts to chase Martin.

They seriously need big, strong inside mids.

Dodoro does no ground work! He only chases whom he knows SOS is after:
1. Shiel
2. JSOS
3. Setterfield
4. Martin

 

[jj1978]

Doubt it will be "quickly". Maybe a delisted free agent, pre-draft, but more likely a club throws him a lifeline via the rookie draft. Hard to see him not landing somewhere, there are a few clubs with diabolical tall forward stocks who'd probably take the chance for almost no investment.

If I was Melbourne I'd be going after him... good replacement for Hogan and would give them some flexibility with McDonald and Weideman

 

[mochacinolatte]

Lewis Taylor has fallen off the cliff after winning the Rising Start ahead of The Bont.

 

[GT619]

Im tipping Essendon will come for Martin if Daniher leaves. They would have the currency to trade for him and money as well.

We need to get the Martin deal done early if he chooses us.

More like wines or brad crouch

 

[Blue and Silver]

Are they offering the soon to be available Buddy money to Joe?

Yeah i was wondering if that's what is going on...
Tippett didn't go quite as plan, Buddy seems to be coming to an end sooner than they would like
.. leaves them with Sam Reid and a few kids, at least tall forward-wise

He never uses his first draft pick to draft.
just tries to grab players from other clubs.

Any idea if anyone knows or spied on martins tour day

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Bigger chance of me landing a starting role on Neighbours than Joe Daniher leaving Essendon this year anyway.

Anyone else get a distinct Jarrad Waite vibe off JD ?

Sydney are confident.

Yep

Have heard the biggest determinant is Joey's medical. Heard anything similar or contrary?

The #19 tram was quite full today, so I couldn't see or hear anything as it went past Princes Park.....

Oh geez, JD's 'tache' in those camp Swans Guernseys, it would be so very Village People !!!
