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

[Arr0w]

So, we gave up a F1+F2 (essentially pick 34 this year)

If we could trade 14 with the Swans 19, 22, use them for Houston, that means we only used a F1+F2 for him

Richmond's 20 and 24 also has some merit, clubs like having the first pick of the 2nd round, fielding offers from day 1 to day 2

Fall back position is 2 picks in the first round

 

[gbatman]

3rd rounders are the best someone will offer us for either Kennedy or Owies imo.

Two third rounders would be really good. Would be great to get hands on them early to potentially trade up with. Probably future third rounders though

 

[BlueBlood15]

Austin goes bang. Love the bold move. Personally I’m taking both 12 and 14 to the draft but we’ve also just heaped a lot of pressure on Collingwood to pay full freight for Houston. We seem comfortable enough that we’ll still be able to match Campo bids too.

 

[YamandU]

Eagles are in meltdown, know someone at the club. This also affects the Bolton trade significantly as well . Hawks don’t play.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Unless we intend to hand over 12 + 14 to Port for Houston (and I can’t see that happening in a gazillion years l), I can’t see this move making any difference to the DH sitch. Pies are struggling to get the deal done because they don’t have enough to offer and Port, to this point, are playing hard ball.

14 would be the best offer Port have received for Houston (other than North's) given Collingwood don't yet have 13. So it could definitely still open that trade.

what you mean?

 

[Blue_Fusion]

what you mean?

They wanted 14 for the Bolton trade.

 

[Revenant1965]

Me earlier today...



Now.…



Options... possibilities...

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Anyway Houston can nominate us now

 

[viking12]

If we don’t get Houston, go to the draft with 12 and 14 with this years depth

 

[Mondyboy]

They wanted 14 for the Bolton trade.

Then why play hardball.

 

[El Topo]

Everyone will have a preference. I'd prefer we keep 12 and 14 and not get Houston - not that Houston wouldn't be a great get (very good user of the ball). Still more to play out, though, is my guess. And loving Austin's style. Negotiations aren't done with media pressure. Smooth operator...

Hats off to Austin - didn't think he had it in him.

 

[ajs071]

Austin has been clear from the start that he likes this draft. IMO we are taking 12 and 14 to the draft. But it also gives us options if we choose. Hopefully trade gets done first Kennedy and owies and then try get back a 2nd rd pick this year.

Probably didn't realise Hawks would trade the pick

Good trade. Take both picks to the draft. Can not work out how we pay for Campo

 

[Mondyboy]

It does sound like that Hawthorn and WCE have both fired their nukes in act of Mutually Assured Destruction. It’s very entertaining.

 

[koutashoulda1_1]

You would think. Kennedy in particular is a puzzling one on lack of interest. We know he can boss it in the midfield given a chance. He's also quite versatile, can take a mark, good shot at goal.

Only issues are the KMs he can run and pace really.

Be done late of at all youd think

Yah. Can someone explain the Campo situation pretty please

 

[skadoosh]

Wow! I went to lunch and came back to 10 new Bluemour pages...had to do a double take.

Austin goes bang bang bang.

I better go for another lunch

 

[Arr0w]

Dockers want Bolton, Eagles want Baker

Doubt both players end up at the same club, but the situations are intriguing

Don't forget our late picks will come up a bit after picks are consumed by bids. For example, Lions will use 32, 42, 43 & 45 on bids so that alone will bring our 68 -> 64

Whatever spills might put us in a bit of a deficit next year, so that Lions F2 could drop back a couple spots.

Wondering if eagles wanted future firsts for Warner chase?

Late picks for Owies, Kennedy and Carroll? Plus don't we still have some other late picks. Lucas likely undrafted so no pick required.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Austin after Houston nominates us

 

[Blue since 72]

They wanted 14 for the Bolton trade.

I believe they were messing the Hawks around saying 14 alone wasn't enough for Barrass. Tbh I would have taken that and ran for him.

Edit: Massive misstep by WC.
