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

[bmaurizio]

Like I said, even though Austin was expressing his interest in Houston on Monday, he didn’t seem proactive on our involvement. It had a tone of draft is our priority. Can we do a couple of deals for role players now and move our focus, especially if some of our current crop get traded?

Unfortunately that’s Austin persona, he certainly ain’t charismatic, too controlled, almost suppressed.
Let’s hope something eventuates this trade period, but If not , next year with GM’s experience and modus operandi , we’ll be a different outfit , he’ll will make a positive impact, it will be noticeable.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

I'd honestly rather Oliver than Houston
If we can get his head right his best is miles ahead of Houston and he won't cost much because Melbourne want the salary dump

I agree, first out + maybe $600-$700k a year of his salary, might be less

He has burst from stoppage too, not lightning quick but faster than all of our mids off the mark, except maybe Walsh?

Cripps > Clarry out to Walsh

And in 3 years
Campo > Clarry out to Walsh

Pls

Thought I heard we had interest in Bonner, but VFL only.
Wasn’t a bad performer at STK last season.

He's a chump

 

[TheReal99prelim]

Conman of the highest order …

Sadly he got a flag after a lucky win against GWS and Brissy
He will always have that
Tony Jewell won a flag for Rich and people wouldn't even know who he was

 

[The Bighouse]

He's a chump

Always thought so but surprised with some numbers last season (admittedly fantasy related).

 

[Aphrodite]

If Pies add Perryman, Houston and keep a first rounder this year then get McGuane next year, they’ve smashed it.

What first rounder this year? lol

rumour was true

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Pick 23 they get from the suns as part of the pick 13/Noble deal

 

[carlton_99]

I would get rid of both and replace with Ethan Phillips and/or similar state league player.

I think we keep borderline players for far too long and actually think this is a case of better the devil you don't know. I'd rather take a punt on an unknown quantity than hang on to one we know is not good enough and/or perpetually injured.

Young has two years left on his contract. I suspect the club would have cut him if not for that. That's why we shopped him, to see if we could get him off our books.

S Durdin would be the exact player we are after, if he was fit. But he isn't. Oscar Macdonald all over again.

I still think at worse Young is more than serviceable depth. There wouldn't be too many teams with a better backup KPD.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

little bird told me we're after Gryan Miers next year

Don’t mind that

 

[Aphrodite]

Wish the Bailey Smith rumour was true

Hardly

 

[ferrisb]

Young is OK as depth.

But we badly need a 2nd AFL-level KPD.

Young is not it. And neither are Kemp/McGovern.

Technically Hayes can, but is not a long-term solution.

 

[Campoeasy]

So now we're all in on Bailey Smith according to Glicksy ...

The plot thickens.

People just be making shit up now huh

 

[jimsta10]

if graham wright pulls this off i will love him long time...

just saying

 

[ferrisb]

Hearing we have now turned our attention to Bailey smith by getting another F1 before Geelong and taking a top end draft pick and Baz. Highly likely he will go to the ND as Geelong and WB won’t come to an agreement. GW pushing it. He is aggressive. It’s a risk but could pay off in dividends. He backs the Charlie, Hansen and Austin link to get the best out of him. He was the reason Collingwood and hawks won flags. He was behind the Treloar and Grundy salary Dump trades which won them a flag. Big watch this space should Geelong and dogs not come to an agreement.

#Blu#Bluemour

Yeah, nah.

 

[morningbrown]

Lmao the former Glicksy trying his luck again is he

 

[Aphrodite]

That hasn't happened (yet) and no guarantee they will get pick 23.

 

[skadoosh]

$1 dollar into the Schulz tweet jar please

 

[charred_fate]

That hasn't happened (yet)

Tbf, that’s why I said ‘if’.

rumour is dog sh*t unfortunately

 

[Arr0w]

Tbf, that’s why I said ‘if’.

They would need to trade out another player after Noble and Richards to achieve that
