Rumour Bluemour Discussion thread

Although this is probably wishful thinking, I'm not as convinced as others that the Cats will improve their ladder position much next year.

Hmm. Geelong offers Carlton first round pick in 2016 draft. Geelong suffer atrocious 2016 season, riddled with injuries to key players, suspensions and mid season retirements to key senior players. Geelong finish bottom 6. Yes, I like the sound of that.

I posted a couple of weeks ago how we weren't interested in Treloar because of his attitude and how he was selfish and only interested in himself and the money and really this just confirms it. Firstly, for a supposed 'massive Carlton supporter' he is trying his hardest to go to Collingwood. Seriously, NO Carlton supporter in their right mind would want to be traded to Collingwood. Just have a look at Sam Docherty. Now that's a Carlton supporter!

Hard to disagree with this.

Obviously we wouldn't complain if we nabbed him somehow but he sounds like he could be a bit of a flog and doesn't really care that much about Carlton.

Could you imagine if Geelong trade their first next year to us and Dangerfield gets injured or something, and they finish bottom six. It would make watching Geelong games fun hahah

 

[Dramoth]

haha sorry to be a douche, but you just contradicted yourself pretty badly!!!

ps, i noticed yesterday you were having an ankle discussion, I did a bad grade 2 /3 tear 10 weeks ago and I am playing round 1 cricket tomorrow

If you did a grade 3 tear, you would have had surgery and would still be doing rehab.

A lot of people don't realise that a grade 2 tear can be anything from I think OTTOMH 10-20% - about 80-90% of the ligament torn. When I did my ankle the first time, I couldn't wear shoes for a couple of weeks and I couldnt wear my work boots for a month. Then I was doing physio for about 3 months after that. I did have a long period of instability in the ankle after I was back up and running around.

The second time around, it was 3 months before I could even walk properly let along run. I was still suffering pain from the ankle for about 6 months after it happened and I still suffer pain in it now, over 8 years later.

A lot of people can do a low level grade 2 tear and be back out running and playing sports within a couple of months. If you are playing cricket tomorrow, I would say that you did about a 50% tear

Jake is the brother of Ben, who is a leading player agent.

You did mention that.

Jake Niall lol

Treloar's manager sounds like Joe Pesci

I was thinking about this last night!

Future first round picks, the club receiving the pick would be hoping they lose all year!

Tom Bell's dad has cancer and is the reason why he wants to go back home.

Tom lost his mother when he was 12, so purely a family matter.

Both clubs happy to accommodate, player manager very happy with SOS and the way this is being dealt.

Sorry to hear about Tom's dad.

Tom Bell's Manager on Trade Radio: Tom's dad (widower) has cancer and that is the reason he is going home. Carlton will fulfill his wish. He would have loved to stay if it wasn't for his dad's health. Gabba is 3 minutes from his parents home. Think 2nd rounder will do it.

Perfectly, perfectly understandable. Thanks for everything, Tommy.

 

[Dominator_7]

All the best to big Tommy Bell.
That's sad news.

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]

Lions second pick sounds about right which is pick 20ish. Future second round pick would be better in a better 2016 draft, don't see lions going to far up the ladder next year.

 

[Cringle]

Will be supporting Bell even in his different attire next year.

Although he knew he was most likely going to ask for a trade he still gave a **** till the very last game.

Isn't there a rule that if a team is deemed to have an 'unexpected season' that the AFL can step in and amend the trade so that it is fair for both parties? Or is it that if that player does not meet expectations that the AFL will step in?

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]

Henderson should be ashamed he couldn't be stuffed because he was leaving but Bell dug deep and played really well when his dad was sick, all the best Tommy

 

[SickQwon]

Have nothing but the utmost respect for Bell for giving his club everything he had up till the very end.

I wish some of our other departing players had followed in his footsteps.

Absolute champion. Good luck Bell

If there is such a rule, then how is that equitable for the party that receives the draft pick. There is risk for both parties, and if an agreement is reached to trade a future pick, then both clubs should wear the consequences. If Henderson gets traded and he suffers a career-ending injury next year, I don't see the AFL stepping in.

The AFL is a botched organisation that creates too many loopholes which it cannot control.

 

[ImBlue]

Sad to see you go Tommy, but totally understandable. Good luck to you sir.

 

[Cringle]

So now that Suckling is set to leave Hawthorn for the Dogs they'll need another rebounding defender... and they should have some coin left over from his departure, Lake and Hales plus potentially Shoenmakers..

Yarran to Hawthorn could be on the cards?

Good luck to Tommy in Brisbane & thank you for busting your gut for us this year. Well played.

Someone give him a Snickers

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Jeez, poor Bell.
He's bloody strong to grow up without his mama and then for his papa to be sick too....it shows what a resilient character he is that he still gave us everything he had while he was playing with us.

I wish him all the best.
