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

[Lukeblueboy]

I really like what we’ve done today with the extra first round pick.
We’ve loaded the gun, now are we gunna fire or hold?
Feels like there could possibly be a lot to happen between now and Wednesday arvo.

I actually like Eddie McGuire. Kinda. Sorta.

Should I delete my account now?

No place for hiding, baby
No place to run
You pull the trigger of my
Love gun

I'm not the only one that thinks Nick Austin has white walker eyes, am I?

[The Bighouse]

I reckon we are stuck with Young, actually didn't mind his past few matches...

Seems any interest was from interstate and he wants to stay put in VIC.

That's exactly what I imagine Nick Austin would look like after a day at the snow...

Son of Curly has put us in the strongest position in a trade/draft period in a long time and we already have a really strong list and aren't desperate like the last time we had a few early picks.
We can get two lads or entertain all sorts of deals.
The other clubs will be falling over each other to get to Austins door.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Maybe, or maybe people are selling Austin short?

Or maybe we’re in this predicament because Austin and Co, have failed to manage the list and cap better…

Overseeing huge contracts (that have stymied our list flexibility) for McKay, Curnow and Cripps. With Walsh, Weitering & TDK still to come..

Bring in big money underperforming players such as Cerra & Williams… While also keeping and continuing to keep injury prone players on the list…

I don’t buy all our injuries we due to Andrew Russell (an highly regarded figure in the industry). Russell would have been part of the melting pot, but so is having a list, littered with injury prone players because they are cheap…

IMO the football department as a whole isn’t up to premiership standard.. Hopefully Wright with his exceptional experience in this area can stamp his authority…

Lloyd > Bartell
Voss
Assistants > reduce number and get better quality, higher regarded assistants and coaching group. Our staff numbers here are huge.
Austin > ?
Assistants > Refresh

Something’s got to change. We have a best 23 with 6x All Australians, 2x Leading Goal Kickers, Brownlow Medalist, League MVP, Best Player of Finals.

All brilliant individual achievements, but as a group that have grown up together and played a lot of football together best H & A finish is 5.. Yes made a prelim, due to Blake Acres brilliance…

 

[Hands On]

And to think i lost faith in Curly Junior. he then goes bang!!!

FMD he is trying it on

 

[Sam The Doc]

Leppa

That's weird, he is giving up on Houston? (or atleast making it look like it?)

 

[carlton_99]

Leppa

When did John Noble become Andrew McLeod? If they get a pick inside 35 for him they should go buy a lottery ticket

 

[BIuebagger]

Is he for real? Humphrey? In a trade for Noble? Comedy hour

 

[tarczonandjane]

Maybe it is a tatts for tatts trade?

Surely he'd rather stay at Port than do that.

 

[jimsta10]

Is Leppa becoming the next Dodo?

Lol, Collignwood are insane.

 

[myblueroan]

I have been reluctant to respond to you given some RL dramas having me in the mood to return in kind the personal attack you have chosen. I actually thought your “passionate” original post was tongue in cheek. As we have had plenty of positive interaction, including PM’s I was taken aback by this aggressive outburst. An outburst “earning” you likes and even a “Love” at my expense. A PM would have been empathetically met, but you choose to grandstand.

I actually gave you the credit to think you were aware of our list situation and that the implausible post you offered was somewhat sarcastic. Clearly that wasn’t the case.

Coona Blues tldnr, except the 1st bit.

I didn't realise you thought I was joking, so I'd like to offer a whole hearted apology for accusing you of trolling me.
As I often joke it's not a great leap to imagine that you would think so.

It shows how easy it is to mis-read posts and or reactions.

I hope you will forgive me for being so reactive. I thought you were dissing my opinion.

Cheers!

 

[BlueTang]

How?

Out : 66 In : 73 - who cares

Out : 34 In - worst case 36

As other posters have suggested looking good for us to get either pick 13 or 14 this draft

I misread the pick swaps haha, oops

Why's that?

Leppa

Graham Wright to Carlton make me go crazy.

Leppa: don't mind if I do

 

[ianh]

Why's that?

I guess the view is that it is getting harder for Collingwood to do the deal and we seem to be happy to go to the draft if the price is too high - North likely to be in a better position to satisfy Port.
