Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXV - 'Loopy' Season has begun

[BIuebagger]

I’m confused… are we saying that there’s noise that a particular player has requested a trade today during an exit meeting? Someone we’d want to keep?

 

[Meddy43]

Well if it's who someone lightning flashed earlier, we are not gunna be happy.(as forecast by others).
Unless it gets us Trac.
Leaves a lot of questions.

I did see one name disappear before, but I thought it was more of a questions so hoping that doesn’t mean anything. F this time of year

Only a matter of time before TDK requests to go to Geelong

If this happens I’ll be moving to Siberia …

Not TDK.

Gunna leave it for those who seem to know something.

Please blink once if this is the cryptic clue

double blink

TDK would warrant 3 first round picks realistically. Not bad for a pick 30. But players like him don’t grow on trees. With FA coming up next year I’d want to cash in now if he was going to go end of 2025. He’s gonna blow up next season and potentially push for AA ruck imho. But losing him for pick 15-19 won’t cut it.

 

[Red_man2008]

If we some how lose TDK but gain Houston Haynes and another first rounder that truly sets us up for now and into the future.

Toms a restricted free agent so if he did decide to leave next year it still would need to be a trade

 

[AT97]

Haven’t been following this from the start, but what’s the issue with a name been mentioned on the rumour page. Doesn’t it happen all the time?

Couldn’t disagree more, first of all Haynes is at the end of his current pure depth and k believe we can get Houston without losing TDK

 

[mjonc43]

who was the genius that came up with the process called "Exit Meeting?"

why would a club sit with players and call it an Exit Meeting when most players don't even exit.

Another Americanism isn't it?

we're all bored here

 

[Soapy V]

Would Owies be on a contract of around 400k?

With match payments, quite easily

 

[Ninja Worrier]

*en hell, do I have to define cryptic for you clowns?

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Only a matter of time before TDK requests to go to Geelong

I'm not so sure on that. I know the whole Geelong/Surfcoast lifestyle thing but surely his manager is advising "Mate - if you end up a hall of famer at Carlton you can write your own cheque".

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Less IMO

I thoughts 350-400k was an average wage these days.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Has there been any actual rumors today or is the cryptic stuff just all jokes?

 

[Opium]

Don't tell me it's Cripps. Young child. Could he be looking to go back to WA?

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Maybe the fact we haven't heard anything from McClure or Tom Morris maybe refutes its a big name ....I'm hoping ???

 

[Red_man2008]

Depends if we can match the deal or not.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

I don’t pay attention for a few hours and I see TDK and Cripps rumours

Surely not

Both would rip the heart out of the club

wants to get to Victoria, we mentioned this in July. The four clubs chasing him the hardest - Carlton, St Kilda, Collingwood & the Western Bulldogs. He's met with all four of those clubs, I think he spoke to them all a couple of weeks ago on the same day.


The issue is, who has the picks to appease the Power given his contract status which is multiple years now, four more years. North Melbourne has offered it's future first round pick, likely top 6 but hasn't spoken to him so isn't in the market.


And that just shows, Port wants picks this year & then into the future but prioritising the pool in 2024 given the Draft standard this year.


Carlton wants him, Michael Voss is pushing this. We spoke about this three weeks ago on this show that Carlton is into Dan Houston

, but they want to retain pick 11 in the Draft. I don't see how you can have both things there & want both things.

I really hope we don't give up pick 11 in this draft. As suspected Voss is pushing this. Doesn't trust the youth and will sell the farm to get what he wants. His career as a coach is at stake.
