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

[Uncle Fester]

Trac has good taste

are we on a wild sheep chase??

 

[JJBagger]

Any word on what’s going on with Brad Lloyd? Heard we were into a couple of people to replace him, but seems to have gone a bit cold since

Its chronic…we’ll keep winding up that bird. I don’t know when it will stop.

I don't KNOW if SDK wants out, but his family wasn't as happy with his treatment at Geelong as they have been with Tom's at Carlton. This is going back a year or so ago. He has played a lot on painkillers for a knee issue, I think. The family didn't like it. They were very supportive of TDK staying at Carlton. Terry is a mad Carlton fan, despite being an ex Bulldog.

SDK's form has been moderate for a while. Geelong will play hard to get, but it is conceivable he might be gettable. I'm not sure they are as excited by his potential as they once were...

SDK would be huge. SDK for a first rounder - 100%. For a first and a second - yep. For 2 firsts... that's a lot, we have other areas of need, maybe too much

 

[teagueyubeauty]

The next rumor will look like 6-6-6-6-6-6 then.

2 Demons on the move?

SDK and maybe Bailey Smith would be the only 2 players worth 2 first round picks this trade period.

Both are young superstars that could take us to the next level.

Two 1st round picks for a bloke that couldn't crack their best 22 in the finals? Nah... pick 11 max otherwise walk away.

The second part here would make sense with the first part here, playing on injections and underdone could explain his drop in form. Interesting.

 

[rf04]

Are we better off trying to pry SDK out of Geelong this trade period or try this time next year if he becomes uncontracted (would this be “restricted free agent” scenario)?

 

[RAPPA]

SDK value has dropped this year compared to last year but he still retains high value based on being a KPP.

Pitto does represent good value for Cats and is an upgrade on a 34 year old Stanley.

Unless SDK wants out he’d be in their future given Blicavs’ expiry date is approaching and Kolo will be 30 next year

 

[HarryFlashman]

Nope - no free agency at all, still a couple yrs away from that

 

[Blue Dimension]

For the love of pete if SDK is available, do NOT let this slip Carlton.

Exactly what we need to partner Weiters.

 

[RAPPA]

We’ll be trying to lure SDK with the incentive of playing with his brother, while the Cats will be making a play for TDK with the same rationale

This just keeps getting better - where do we sign up to ship Pitto off to them

 

[james Dean]

So if I am reading this correctly we are getting Houston, Petracca, Papley, and SDK.

Solid off-season

2025 will only be his 6th year so free agency status won’t come into affect.

A trade will be required but it’s usually a bit easier to get what you want for less when not contracted. But who knows.

SDK doesn’t fix my 2 main concerns and that’s our midfield and forward line.

 

[bluesDeluxe]

In regards to what?

Teams above us are getting better and we are getting nick Haynes

 

[RPCB]

So if I am reading this correctly we are getting Houston, Petracca, Papley, and SDK. Haynes.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

We’ve finished the last three seasons 9th, 5th & 8th.

Let’s not be naive. We have half a dozen players who are elite. After that it drops away pretty rapidly.

Hawthorn & Brisbane may not have the starpower of our top 6 but the quality in their depth is far superior to ours.

We ain’t just lacking a little around the edges.

This 100 times over. Our elite top 6 have generally played many more losing seasons than winning ones.

In free agency… trade period hasn’t even started yet

 

[SurreyBlue]

SdK and Houston are worth 2 first rounds according to their teams. I guess we must be the only team that undervalues its players or is everyone just being bad to deal with….

 

[bluesDeluxe]

This just keeps getting better - where do we sign up to ship Pitto off to them

I'd trade him in a heartbeat

 

[HereComesJuddy]

It’s a price we pay by having Charlie, McKay, Cripps, Walsh, Weitering, TDK, Williams, Cerra etc on our list.

We will get better though…
