Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVI - 'Loopy' Season in full swing

[HereComesJuddy]

Don't think Stringer has even embraced a proper preseason

Pre season is hot dog season for Jakey

 

[Aphrodite]

Can we please stop talking about Stringer coming anywhere near our club. Please I beg you all…..

How about Riley Garcia then?

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Why no interest in Perryman?

Going to Pies by all accounts

 

[HereComesJuddy]

How about Riley Garcia then?

Can play mid and forward. Quick hands too. Worth a very late pick but could make a big difference to our team

 

[ctwenty1]

Warner I think maybe Papley.

Do you think players would ever have an agreement with a club, if we win a premiership let me go home early.

Nope. Reckon that sort of conversation happens after

 

[Arr0w]

Nope. Reckon that sort of conversation happens after

Some clubs are well aware some players are likely to move, especially for big contracts and decent compensation before free agency coming back

 

[swuzzlebubble]

could make a big difference to our team

Owies/Kennedy/Carroll type difference?

 

[teagueyubeauty]

$850k over 6 years apparently what he’s been offered

Hope he does land at the pies then…

What’s he done to get the hate?

Played for *?

 

[SurreyBlue]

How about Riley Garcia then?

Like this guy. Hope we are talking.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Owies/Kennedy/Carroll type difference?

All different. But can and does come down to salary out vs salary in. Lots of people just look at the name on the out and get upset but there’s too many factors as to why a club needs to move on players

 

[Arr0w]

Think 1 of Carroll or Kennedy remains on the list

 

[Red_man2008]

Id prefer to keep Carroll as he’s got development to go. Kennedy is what he is. A tad slow but tough and can play multiple positions (albeit not elite in any). Carroll could improve ALOT.

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Stringer would still have a couple of decent on field moments, but I find him even more lazy, selfish and conditional

Would be a no from my perspective

Respect to you and your commitment to the betterment of our club.

Couple of questions.

Even more lazy ect than who?

Move aside from his off field stuff, would you consider him on a 1 year contract with a trigger for a 2nd?

I see him as a bloke who has talent, but hasn’t embraced what is needed to get the best out himself. Still played 200 games, I would hope for him that he realises this is his last shot and with the right guidance and accountability from himself that he could provide a return on the next club who takes a chance.

Pair him with someone like Saad in off season, keep him accountable, if he doesn’t cut it then he’s playing magoos.

I look at this as a risk reward scenario.

As us old supporters would know, some of our premiership players and other during the golden era were not angels.

We are in a window and taking a risk rather than being conservative might just pay off.

Whats the worst that can happen?

I’m not saying we have to get Jake, just move past looking at only cleanskins.

Most are saying keep him away and I respect that, wondering if those also respect another point of view?

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Out of the two of them, think Carroll has more upside. Younger and should make a really good inside mid, needs a big pre-

season to increase his tank. I love Bam Bam as much as anyone else, but he will find another home imo.

The past is the past, we are in a different era now. We still gave Lij a chance and it looks like a very good decision.

We still picked up Charlie, even though he had transgressed. Of course both of them coming in to join their older brothers,

is no coincidence. Really good planning from the club.

I imagine that their is a good chance of Stringer ending up at the aints, I kind of hope he does.

Respect to you and your commitment to the betterment of our club.

Even more lazy ect than who?

I think he has become more lazy, selfish and conditional as his career has progressed

Move aside from his off field stuff, would you consider him on a 1 year contract with a trigger for a 2nd?

On talent alone, yes, considering the above, no

I hope all players become the best version of themselves, but hasn't done so at 2 clubs, not sure a change of environment will force that change in mindset

Pair him with someone like Saad in off season, keep him accountable, if he doesn’t cut it then he’s playing magoos.

It could work, the downside is paying a bloke that's still looking for decent money, running around at VFL level

It is a massive risk/reward, and I'm all for mongrel/bad boys, but not ones that could have a negative impact on culture

I always respect your views BC

Or younger

I love a redemption story. Hope he embraces it if he gets another go. Most people who make mistakes deserves another chance if they commit to doing good. Some on the serious side dont. Eg TT.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

I would hate to think our club wouldn’t go after a player just because we’ve traded away (if Kennedy gets traded) that players friend.

I was suggesting more keep Kennedy and use him to lure Perryman to Carlton - but not at $880k for 6 years if that figure is true.

Multi quote response is elite, much like the multi ball reward in Adam’s family pinball machine, hearing Gomez yelling multi ball was a highlight of a misspent youth.

That went over my head, sorry.

Yeah, not going near Perryman at $880k. That would make him one of our highest paid players. I would hope we’ve learned our lesson not to pay that sort of money for just anyone.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Like this guy. Hope we are talking.

Would have been drafted during Austin's time at Dogs fwiw?
