Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXV - 'Loopy' Season has begun

[blues4flag]

Of all the weird named places in all the far-flung places of this bizarre but beautiful country, the one I find to be the worst is actually quite a simple one.
There's a place in the south of Perth called Cockburn.

They insist it's pronounced co-burn...

 

[ferrisb]

Michael Christian is a co-head...

 

[Arr0w]

Don't the Dockers train at Cockburn?

It is pronounced Coburn, I know people with that surname as well, copped a hell of a ribbing at school.

Scottish (Midlothian) and northern English: habitational name from a place in Berwickshire named Cockburn, from Old English cocc '****, rooster' (or the related byname Cocca) + burna 'stream' (see Bourne ). This surname is traditionally pronounced Coburn.

Yeah yeah... it'll always be Cockburn

Yeah, They moved down there to escape all the anchors and hippies in Fremantle.

 

[Bluez Rule]

i think we need a backup incase Charles/Harry are unavailable.
Apparently Membrey is gettable...would be a break glass in emergency type, but fits the "has played well against us criteria"

Would certainly stop him feasting most times he plays against us.

There's a place in the south of Perth called Cockburn.

There is also a Pusey Road in said suburb.

Pusey Road, Cockburn is an actual mailing address.

Now we have other supporters playing naughty place names. When do the colouring-in books and buckets and spades arrive?

My 16 yo brain hopes there's a 69 Pusey Rd, Cockburn...

There is it’s the Perth Iceworks from memory. But it’s a corner, so they say their address is the other street, most likely for this very reason

One such person is 90s late night radio personality, host of the one and only pillow talk, wisely under the pseudonym Dr. Feelgood. Actual name is Dr Sally Cockburn.

We’re into Elijah Hollands, brother of Dutchy

Not surprised HFF/Mid type and draft a key backman.

They’re the 2 holes in the list

An actual rumour

Said it before, great for the brothers, I like Elijah, but wouldn't be the first type I would target

Son's of Ben Hollands.

Carlton is among the clubs with interest in prising former No.7 draft pick Elijah Hollands from Gold Coast.
Hollands, 21, is contracted to the Suns for 2024 but rival clubs believe he is gettable during the upcoming trade period.

Industry sources have indicated that the Blues are interested in acquiring Hollands, in doing so reuniting him with younger brother Ollie.

From Twitter earlier today.

 

[Arr0w]

GC want to trade pick 4 for points, Hollands might be part of that deal with a suitable party

 

[sweethoney]

I read this morning pick 4 to the dogs for there 2 firsts and Gold Coast to trade pick 10 for more points

The dutch prophet.

 

[ferrisb]

 

[Blue__Balls]

If we're going to help GC out with extra points we need to either bring our future first rounder forward, or trading Dow and/or Fisher to improve our hand first.

Dow to St Kilda for Pick 31.
Fisher to NM for Pick 39.
Picks 16 and 31 to GC for Pick 10 and Hollands (assuming GC send 4 to the Dogs for 10 and 17).

Pick 10 maybe gets us O'Sullivan.
Pick 39 gets us a slider (would DeLean or Moir slip that far back?)
Money saved on Fisher and Dow gets us a free agent (ie. Harmes or Gresham).

O'Sullivan - long term key defensive post sorted.
Hollands + Harmes/Gresham/whoever - short term half forward/mid options sorted.
Best available at 39, no idea what we get there.

 

[Blue__Balls]

I was with you all the way to the end. Until I realised GC don't have pick 10.

They have 4, 28, 31 and then a bazillion picks 40-70

Draft order here and here.

Suggestion earlier was that they're looking to split 4 for the Bulldogs' 10 and 17, I think.
