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

[Blue_Fusion]

More than happy, if that's the outcome

Will be a very interesting couple of weeks

So, don't care about the "balanced approach" anymore?

Thought we wouldn't go all out at the draft with only bringing in Haynes...

Good to see you've changed your mind and got onboard embracing the draft now

 

[tarczonandjane]

Sign me up for what EP is suggesting. I’d be delighted with two high draft picks, plus the Campos.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Going to be a MASSIVE off season

Juicy

Who would have thought 3 months ago?

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Our recent track record of picks under 15 - not particularly spectacular.

Picks 3, 6 and 10 come to mind.

Nick Austin has never had any pick in that range since coming to the club as list manager...

luckily sos isn’t picking them then

 

[Michael Jezz]

Our list is now in a position where we might start to lose players as we continue rejuvenate the list, and as hard as that may be, you don't let value expire

I wanted massive list changes from the get go.

Always stated that I would be happy to go to the draft, that doesn't mean I believe it's the best approach

Plenty to play out

If we add the Whitlock twins with the above. Walk away from the draft laughing…..

Of course, heaps to play out...

But if that's the club's approach, it's the right way to go imo.

But have the scouters changed since those days - if they haven’t you’ll only get more of the same.

Reckon Nick might have a bit of a say in who we draft

Welcome back EP

Nice to know I have quality ITK's backing up my posts

[Blue_Fusion]

Has Willy Wonka got any chocolates to hand out?

 

[agro]

Like I said if the scouts haven’t changed you’re only going to get the same recommendations- so Austin will be picking from the same pool.

If we take 2 top 15 picks to the draft can we still get this mystery player soapy?

Come on mate, we restructured recruiting when we brought Nick in... let's give him a chance, he's really been bereft of top draft picks the last 4 years.

Agree. I simply cannot accept trading a first/future first for Houston. This is perfect example of buying at the very peak of someone’s value who is already 27 y.o.

We now have a decent senior core in the team and therefore, can afford to sprinkle in some youth into the starting 22. Get us some damn pace and x-factor through this one- gear midfield please.

 

[Soapy V]

Yes. The hope is to take on the contract and thus not have to pay much in picks

As EricPascoe posted our preference is much about having 2 early picks. Same as I posted earlier. It's why I really struggle to see how we get Houston. Austin is not being 'arrogant" as was stated in media. It's just we have other priorities

Ok if you say we’ve changed all our talent scouts and are going to give our List Mgt Team better lists to pick from come Draft Day I’ll take your word for it.

Absolutely...

Houston also turns 28 next year...

Thanks soap. What about membury? I’m having fun with it atm with a mate that barracks for the saints. Kind of want it to be true after watching him melt

 

[Accidental genius]

I see Electric Blue lurking

Been massive changes to our whole recruiting department in last 12 months. Have faith
