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

[ibleednavyblue]

They were reported as front runners.

his preference. Deal not done.

Freo may choose to include him in a package with Sean Darcy to us. Alternative is Cerra but that depends on if we can use pick 8 for a more established mid.

 

[GordonBlue]

I'm glad we found out now and not drag on like Shiel

B Crouch and dealing with Adelaide again. I'm out
If Sydney are asking for 2x1st for Papley, I'm out.
If Martin is asking for $750k, I'm out.

 

[Funk]

I am not a religious man, but please help us land Cogs, Jebus....

Paraphrasing the words of the great Elwood:

“It’s 10pm, I’ve been working nonstop since 7am, have 32 pages to read on the Rumours thread, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses”

The heart says “read till you’ve caught up”, the brain says “do any of these f***ers have jobs?”

 

[ibleednavyblue]

We will not be spending a top 10 pick on a small forward. Same with next year’s first.

Those picks will be used on established quality mids or taken to the draft. Focus is on getting at least one A grade mid (ideally two) and another two quality depth mids

Seems to be quite an array of injuries

Impact injuries like a fractured leg are just unlucky. Soft tissues are the ones to be concerned about. Seeing him get through a full year though should give hope and also having the best in the business in Russell managing our players loads should only increase that.

After the interview Jack Martin had with SOS, we wouldn’t pay $300k. Good luck bulldogs or bombers you will regret it.

Hip pip, we move on lads and lassies, onwards and upwards, and the rest can gagf....
Speaking of which, I've just made myself a cuppa, a tim tam or 2, and off to the Dawks board for a bit of light relief.

Great minds, only i indulged in a milo and drank it through a whole packet of tim tams. Comfort eating has begun

 

[TommyMcG]

Don’t understand why everyone keeps wanting cripps to be able to go forward more anyway he’s not exceptionally quick off the mark or elusive like Martin and danger - he ok for the odd mismatch . He’s proven that he likes high game time on the ball in contested situations . Play blokes to there strength .. like early fascination with Charlie in the middle his best Football is as deepest forward with game in front of him ..

That’s exactly it though. Cripps would draw a mismatch when resting forward. He really should be good for a goal a game if we had that luxury. It was talked about during preseason by Cripps and coaches IIRC.

You 'floor' me with your work ethic, Funkster!

 

[Just Kreuzing]

So you're saying SOS effed up by not getting JOM first?

If we want to get Lachie Whitfield across the line we may need to lure Graeme Allan first....

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

You'd think it would be pretty hard for Cerra to break his contract.

Also, if you had the option, no one would pick Langdon over Cerra.

Tell me more.

Was he fixated on the free parking spot, gym use and 20% discount at the Carlton shop?

want to!

If a player really wanted out of Sydney I would be surprised if they didn’t let them go- I was shocked when they let Mitchell go so easy to hawks .. they always seemed fair to deal with

If Robbie Warnock has taught me one thing, it's this:

If you recruit ruckmen from Fremantle you're gonna have a bad time.

 

[LanceRomance]

Papley or no Papley, I still think he would be a good get for us.

Agreed. We already lost 2 small forwards this year.

 

[jooce8891]

With the news, comes the melts - this one is a beauty from our favourite "ITK" (read: bulls**t artist) on the Hawks board:



Gold.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

When we send him forward to lose a tag he struggles in my opinion .. but hey I still think he superman

And miss goals from the square against Geelong then try to pretend you were concussed......

That was when they were flying. Now they suck and desperately need to keep their best players.

 

[LanceRomance]

nah, it has context behind it

If you screenshot that one and the post previous it should go nicely

 

[BlueTongue]

Neither are C grade players.

Ellis is. Has played above himself the last couple of years but now he has to compete for his spot his true ability is showing. Would not waste any decent picks on him.
