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

They aren't trading 13 to get it back...

It will be eaten by the academy bid

They will want Port's future first, which they can't offer until they get a first this year

We need a multi club mega deal.
You do the mathaletics.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

That owies salary ask leak is a little odd.

Why would we burn a player like that?

What indication do we have that the leak came from Carlton?

It makes no difference to us what his asking price is if we’re asking him to look around, it’s between him and and clubs he’s negotiating with

Takes some heat off the club as to why we'd let him go

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

TBH, it's definitely not to me. BUT, with 2 Colman medalists in KPF roles, you'd expect better than that.
Not blaming them solely, because delivery is poor, but tbh so is their leading patterns (when they happen).

A good mid with reliable disposal should draw them into space.

Better than the best?
Our third best forward can’t even find another club who wants him. I certainly think we should and could improve that part of our game but we were doing it better than anyone else.

 

[CrippasHeavyLoad]

Let's just say we somehow get 13 and the deal being reported being our F1 + F2 is what gets it done.

We now have 12, 13 and 34. However, we somehow need to get back into next year's 1st or 2nd round to abide by AFL trading rules. If we turn 34 into a future 2nd what do we have to add to 13 to bring in Houston because that alone isn't sufficient.

Trade 13 to Richmond for 24 and 32

They want to make sure it will be on traded to Port for Houston because that pick will get the Lukosius deal done.

IMO our offer for 13 is much better than Collingwood’s which assigns way too much value to Noble as a trade asset.

I think the problem may be that GC aren’t sure we’ll do the Houston deal if we do get 13 off them whereas they know the Pies will.

So GC will give us 13 we give it port and then port give it back. Wouldnt it make sense to do three way trade then???

No thanks. I’d want something like 16 and 20.

How does that help with Houston?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Only to be rookied, then straight back on to the senior list again. He's had a really good 3 seasons.

And he's still contracted for next year is he not? Otherwise he'd be an FA given his former delisting (even if for re-rookie purposes).

 

[swuzzlebubble]

They will want Port's future first, which they can't offer until they get a first this year

Should ask for an exemption so we can give our F1 straight to Port

Why would we do that??

Owies wants 700-800k?

I know there's a new CBA, but I didn't realise the salary cap was jumping to $50M next year...

If that's at all true, he's dumber than he looks.

 

[dumb]

I never thought I'd be writing this sentence but it is being reported that Owies wants 700K-800K per year for his next contract...

Source: https://www.codesports.com.au/afl/t...ive-coverage/eba2e2a221ef14e27694d86eb092f92d

maybe owies read all about negotiating on bigfooty and 800K is his starting position. austin will beat him down to 650K and they'll both feel like winners

Owies trying to reverse “Money-Ball” himself a new job.

Whoever is advising him would feel a bit dopey that this got out.

Matt Bain manages Owies - says that money isn’t a motivating factor. Seems hard to fathom at that price

Matt Bain manages Owies - says that money isn’t a motivating factor. Seems hard to fathom at that price

Matt Owies’ manager Matt Bain has scoffed at a report that his client was demanding $800,000 per year to continue his AFL career.
The small forward is yet to be offered a contract at Carlton despite kicking 33 goals this season, and Bain told this masthead that Owies was “looking for opportunities to continue his career, rather than a pay rise”.

‘We think we’re still a chance’: Roos won’t be brushed aside by Blues, Pies in the race for Dan Houston

The Kangaroos know they remain outsiders in the race to land the Power’s two-time All-Australian, but they also know they could offer a strong enough deal to satisfy Port Adelaide.

The drugs court case helped make it less picks

Can we get Elijah to have a “chat” with Houston??

Yep, there was never a chance that was true.

The only way would’ve been if Owies had an offer to become the CEO of a bank somewhere and was considering tossing aside his footy career so put in a ludicrous demand just to see if someone would bite.

He’s well aware that he’s a fringe best 22 player who has to make every post a winner to get picked each week.

It's Matt Owies, not Matt Paidies.

Sooooo....... What Soapy has been saying all along

 

[Sam The Doc]

if he was somewhat good during clutch moments he’d be close to 500k worth

 

[HereComesJuddy]

100% right. Definitely has not been offered a contract
