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

[sweethoney]

Membrey rumour makes no sense.
We have JSoS back and Kemp showing he's a better option forward to support Harry and Charlie.
With Lemmey developing, IMO, we don't need a Membrey but another development forward to go with Lemmey.
This list spot can be spent on another priority.

We did actually chase him last year but couldn’t get a deal done. His a f/an and would make a good third tall. Would’ve been very handy to use this year so Charlie could’ve been rested

It is a bit perplexing, in his prime fair enough, now it seems unusual

 

[BluStreak]

the Membrey rumour is awesome. Marc Shmurf 3 is back. And that is all I want.

With hopefully an injury free pre-season for Lemmey, he should be ready to debut next season. If he can just put on a few

kilo's, that would give him the confidence that he needs. If he really wants it, then he will make it, imo.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Membrey if cheap . Averages a couple marks on the lead a game. Moves a hell of a lot. Not great defensively. Competition for spots is good. If kempy can't beat him out then that tells us something too. Has had stints in the ruck etc too. Don't mind it - just re emphasises the importance of the 2 small forwards + half forwards. Motlop durdin Holland's etc simply have to be crumbing and pressure first. Not the owies styled lead. Can't play 3 talls and a small that thinks he's a tall. Have to have the ground level pressure

 

[Blue and Silver]

Like Membrey,

Nice to have an option so our structure doesn't evaporate without Harry or Charlie

He also kicked 30 goal last year same as owies. Not a bad effort considering he also played 8 vfl games

 

[Arr0w]

Membrey, jack martin replacement?

I'd say Moir will be the Martin replacement

 

[morningbrown]

Big tick on the Membrey acquisition. Look at the way Gunston was able to provide for the Hawks this year.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

No cryptic bullshit, gives us a name straight up and now discusss….

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

Yes to Membrey

I've always liked Membrey. He would add some much needed flexibility to our mix.

 

[tarczonandjane]

I don’t have any particular thoughts on Membrey until I see exactly what is proposed.

But I will say that without Cuningham, Marchbank, Martin, and (likely) Durdin, we will need players who can provide some leadership in the VFL if they are out of the seniors. It was notable the difference Will Hayes

made when he came back.

Haynes is obviously an option along these lines too.

And no, I’m not saying we should be recruiting players to an AFL list designed to shore up our VFL. But it may be an additional string to someone’s bow like Haynes or Membrey.

 

[agro]

We all like Membrey, but the only time I’ve seen him play live is when we have put Plowman on him.

 

[JJBagger]

Long term. Maybe not next year

Little problem with that theory - “beating them out” doesn’t happen - since when does performance lose or win u a spot on our best 22

 

[HarryFlashman]

Really? He looked good, with a solid preseason & give him the spot for him to lose from round 1, I reckon he will comfortably beat Martins contribution.

Martin was a bloody good player only very very occasionally - even without the injuries he was avg at best more often than he was great

 

[Opium]

Bit of a curve ball re: Houston

We have been discussing bringing in an established player that we will take over their sizable contract. As such the pick won't be much. Very handy player we need and why we are moving players on

This deal may limit our options with Houston? This is MY assumption

I know the name but have been told not to post it. Sorry. I will when I can

*Mods. I can confirm source if needed

Clarry?

 

[Bletch]

Really don't get the enthusiasm for Membrey. Fair player, but would be fringe best 23 for us, hardly an upgrade on what we have. He's 30. He's not a tall (188cm). It's Stringer v2.

 

[carlton_99]

Clarry?

Surely that is the last player we need right now

 

[SurreyBlue]

I'm not going to lie and maybe nothing will come of these rumours but I'm concerned we are loading up on retirement funds.
Really need to think long term more than 30+ year olds. IMO, we have enough of them reaching that age now.

 

[myblueroan]

Not for mine
Not keen on Membery
SOS can play anywhere , Membery cannot

Glad it's not just me.
30 yo.
Get excited about us shuffling quality hacks?
No. Shan't.
I stand by Vossy.*
If he wants Houston Get him!

As long as it works for me.*

Now, Soapy V Blue Crippto

Camon give us something!
Geez I hope you didn't mean Membrey.

Darcy Fort just won a premiership.

If Charlie was hurt going into week 1 of the finals, do you want Membrey or Kemp filling the spot?

C'mon picking up experienced depth isn't that wild and idea

We played Kennedy there all year.

Yeah idk. Think actually having next man up might help that a bit more but idk obviously.

Interesting.

Smells like tall defender to me. With those moved on (and Young likely) we can't rely on a young kid to partner Weiters.

Aaron Naughton signed a long term contract, but the Dogs young talls are developing nicely. He also might prefer to play back, and they might want to free up money for other needs.

Lever another option, although more intercept than KP.
