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

[DEliades]

Whilst we would all love conig, let’s know through the baby out of the bath water just yet. Let’s back our own boys and their general development under Teague. It’s been years since we could all say that our boys are now playing for the jumper

 

[DEliades]

And despite what people are saying, Ellis on a wing would be huge for us. Generally a good user and has played in a premiership

 

[SammaGilberto]

Told me personally we were still a chance for Kelly, shared it on here, 24 hours later he resigned and made me.look like a shmuck. That being said I grew up with him and he is an incredibly humble guy and doesn't deserve the 'knob' tag. Very little ego, just wants to follow in his old mans footsteps and loves CFC.

Feel like it's easy for people to pot media journos as most of them act like absolute clowns but for the most part I feel Sam is the opposite, whether that be me overlooking stuff cause he's a blues supporter and a fellow 'Sam' haha I don't know but people compare him to K.Cornes which is far from the truth.

Yep, when we have players plodding away in the VFL alas LeBois/Fas that are having zero positive impact on our AFL side we'd be stupid to not sign a premiership free agent that wants to come to the club!

Sammy is good value. One of the few SEN hosts that I enjoy listening to. Andy Maher and Rob Murphy are good also.

 

[RAPPA]

Not a flog. He’s a passionate Blues supporter who happens to be a journo. Should be more like him.

Comes across as a genuine fanboy. Watching Oval Office and hearing him on the radio, I get the feeling he still feels in awe at times when chatting with players and genuinely loves being part of it, engages in the banter and wants to be very “matey”. Whereas the bulk of your other journos are just keen on getting the answers they want and developing a story

 

[slashin_velvet]

Are we still chasing A. Bonar?

Yep, were still after cogs...

 

[GT619]

It’s like we’re essendon of last years trade. Many had shiel to hawthorn and us. Then bang Essendon come outta nowhere and nominates them

 

[Nori]

I’m thinking that Ellis get done in a maga deal with Goddard and Pavlich.

 

[Accidental genius]

Ellis is 100% in navy blue next year.

How can you be so sure when we are still in season and Tiges in finals.

What happens if Richmond win another premiership and Ellis plays in it.

 

[RAPPA]

Geez - Martin, Cogs, Papley and now Ellis. At this rate, with a full list, more than half of our starting 22 will have had starts at other clubs

 

[smashbox gill]

I still find people’s valuation of Papley confusing saying he’s worth pick 8.

C. Cameron, J. Gresham, M. Walters, C. Rozee, L. Ryan, W. Rioli, D. Rioli, B. Ainsworth, A. McDonald-Tipunwuti and even J. Martin would all be on par with him.

I think instead of giving up so much you could try to find value and poach a J. Martin or Shai Bolton to play that role

Need to just get the phone book out and call some Riolis

Surely Eddie Betts boys are eligible for fs this draft?

 

[Sheephead]

I’m going with we don’t get Coniglio. And that’s ok. We’re heading North and we’ve got a good list developing. Great young coach. And personally, I don’t think Cogs is worth the that is being mentioned. He’s also now got injuries - do they heal ok - is he going to repay in kind. I’m not all in on the rabbit, just saying.

I bet you that virtual sack of cash that if Coniglio comes you will be all in...................

Cameron, Walters and Graham are unattainable, Ainsworth has done absolutely nothing, Tippa definitely is not better and D Rioli hasn't got a kick in 2 years. Good luck getting the West Coast boys or Rozee either.

I have him as a top 5 small forward, Papley unlike the others has the ability to run through the middle.

That is a very funny post.

He’s not worth a pick 8 for some clubs, but for us he probably is. He’s tough, he’s relentless, he has leadership skills and he can lead and organize our forward line. At this stage we have a lot of depth which is what Bolton would be for example. We can’t fit everyone into our 22 and Papley will be All Australian caliber for many years to come.

From what I've put together Barrass has ties to CFC list management and EP has ties to player management. Barass will give us what CFC thinks is happening and EP wil give us what the player managers think is happening. The fact that Barrass is rare but constant whilst EP comes out of the woodwork at trade time backs my theory

Eric definitely gets info from inside the club. I’d hazard a guess that he’s not on here much because of all the shit he cops.

I just assume Barass is SOS and EP is MLG. Easier that way.

It's like a week before Christmas and people are trying to guess what presents are under the tree. Alas, we just have to wait for Christmas morning. I'm pretty sure there'll be something there that'll be alright! Maybe not everything on our list, but something.

In the meantime, let's just do the normal Christmas thing and get drunk and fight with our family.
