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

[Arr0w]

yes, i understand what they're stating they want, but that's judd territory - ridiculous for a HBF - and they would know it.. and of course they should pitch high, who wouldn't...?

What steak knives we can throw in depends on trades for Owies, Kennedy, Carroll or someone else?

they'll come to the party...

Unfortunately he is still contracted

Pick 14 alone is probably what he is worth, but make it slightly more appealing

We trade 14 to the Tigers for 20 + 24

20 + 24 for Houston + 39, value is pick 13

Plenty of different options, but they hold the whip hand and suspect it will take more

Jagga compliments our current mids

 

[zeeCFC]

Inside and out.

Tbh Finn O’Sullivan doesn’t really do it for me.

Agree. I'd love to be in a position to get Lindsay and Trainor. At 12 and 14 we may still get Trainor and a Berry type range player which is still amazing.

FOS looks like a really good all rounder but he's not exceptional in one thing, to my eye

 

[zeeCFC]

Jagga compliments our current mids

Don't think he'd make it to pick 3. You're right though, he's a Zac Butters clone

 

[Arr0w]

At 3, I like Draper, but Lalor has a great balance of mid/forward appeal, and oozes mongrel

 

[DrTrain]

Interested if melb would trade 5 and 28 for 12 and 14.
Then trade 5 and F2 bris for 9 and *F1
The *F1 and 28 for Houston.
PA can then trade their F1 for Luko
We end with 9 and Houston but AFL would have to ok us not having a F1 or F2 unless we can trade Kennedy for a F2

As I posted in the draft thread, if we were to move up .. Lalor and Draper would be the dream result

Would the Eagles cop 12,14 and Carroll for pick 3 ?

 

[Stamos]

Then we will sign a FA or two to fill some gaps

Other players going out?
We don’t have the list spots to sign other players prior to the Rookie Draft.

 

[WalshYouLegend]

How would we secure West Coast’s number 3 pick now that we have no early future picks? Owies?

 

[JJBagger]

Other players going out?
We don’t have the list spots to sign other players prior to the Rookie Draft.

S.Durdin and Carroll both going?

 

[Stamos]

S.Durdin and Carroll both going?

I’m including them as already out.
If we trade or delist all of Owies, Durdin and both Carrolls, we’d have a total of 6 list spots.

If we keep our current structure, that would be 3 Senior and 3 Rookie spots available.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

May be unrealistic but Trainor looks like he could play CHB next year:


Such a mature build already - 194 and quick.

If it's a straight choice between Houston and someone like him - it's a no-brainer for me. We've got a gigantic hole in our list at CHB. It has to be the #1 priority.

We also need a fast small forward.

 

[Adsky]

He’s a gun

But Jagga and Reid are better options for us IMO

Murphy Reid the one for mine. Looks like the second coming of Lachie Neale. Clean below his knees and excellent user and vision. Everything we need

 

[Opium]

I’d prefer
12 Alix Tauru
14 Joe Berry

Hits two of our needs - plus with Ollie lord coming along we really only need another true KPD from later in the draft.

after Ashcroft, Lombard and Kako. Our picks could actually be 15 and 17.

Brings back the Finnbar memories for me

Sounds like Ben Camporeale

Doesn’t make a difference though, the same players will still be available to us.

Given West Coast now have an issue with getting Baker done, would they consider 3 for 12 and 14? Points calculator puts that in West Coast favour from a points perspective. In fact from points perspective they're still in favour if they throw in 63 with it. They then have 14 to give to the tigers for Baker.

Blues get 3 and 63.
West coast get 12 and Baker
Tigers get 14

If it’s such a deep draft why trade up?

 

[JJBagger]

If it’s such a deep draft why trade up?

Because getting the third best talent in the most loaded draft of all time would be brilliant

 

[DangerousD]

Wait until the people saying we should get Barass from under the Hawks realise he is 29 years old and people thought Houston was old

 

[Stamos]

Because getting the third best talent in the most loaded draft of all time would be brilliant

It seems to be loaded more in depth, rather than very top-end talent.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Sounds like Ben Camporeale

Except Archer is QUICK

 

[bmaurizio]

Yes 2024 is a deep draft, Ashcroft and O’Sullivan are the two standouts and after that throw a blank over next 12 to 15, equal level / potential.
Following 15 are ok too but fewer midfielders depending on list needs. No need to trade up.
One would rather have say Barrat a tall defender and a midfielder Read, 2 quality youngster addressing our needs.
