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

[Stamos]

Sorry to be lazy and scroll through the thread (I have an infant child to raise for the Carlton clan), but are we looking to go to the draft with both picks or made this move with the Hawks to go for a player?

Most likely take them to the draft, but seems we’re open to other options.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Trade up
Always buy the best.
Walsh, pick 3 (mid) and Walker to come secures a gun midfield for the next decade so we can then stop fretting about Tassie and get on with winning a premiership …

Lalor and Walker up forward would be the envy of every club imo.

Lalor is incredibly overrated IMO. His best is great but I really haven’t seen the work ethic or consistency to warrant a top 5 selection.

That’s fair. You might know more about some draftees than I. But what I’ve seen is pretty exciting imo

 

[TerryWallet]

MIN of 4 at the draft, so hoping for another to slot in there before BC and maybe LC as a rookie.

KPD is intriguing. Can we get O’Farrell in somehow, or is Trainor in our sights?

Aren’t we keen on Murphy Reid?

What has EP said?

Below is eric's one and only post, posted 10 days ago. Man hasn't lost his touch.


"Most likely scenario

We secure another first round pick this year by trading our future first

That pick not enough to get Houston

We take two top 15 picks to the draft, take them plus the twins plus Haynes"

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

No trading up higher with 12 & 14, besides a handful of a few players in the top ten, we’re much better keeping our picks or sliding 14 back in a deal for a couple of later picks L1st/E2nd…
There’s some good players within the first 30 group..

Thanks. Memory has returned.
Still want another pick in between 14 & 30 (somehow) and then the twins for our haul.

 

[SolGoodman]

When’s the last we were genuinely in a win-win situation like this? Austin has done an absolute masterclass so far, now we just have to finish the job.

I am super giddy.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

No idea what we are gonna do with our picks but **** it’s exciting to be in this position to add elite talent bring on November

 

[Red Bull]

Any recruiter worth their salt has an infinitely better chance of hitting the jackpot with pick 3 than pick 12 or 14
Dusty was pick 3 for the Tigers
Pick 3 is every chance to be out there against Richmond in round one next season … and not just making up the numbers …

 

[AT97]

Leppa?

Nah…Doesn’t have the red nose

 

[TrueQldBlue]

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

#TradeWeekIsComing

Definitely has....

Looks like that or a vampire.....

Tom Hawkins has weird eyes too....

Tom Hawkins has weird eyes too....

Can confirm.

Bumped into Hawkins at a restaurant years ago.

Between his stature and his eyes, he's a very striking fellow.

Looks like he was bred in a lab or comes from another (humanoid) planet.

Imagine you and a friend didn't know who he was and you were both looking through a crowd of 1000 random people. You spot him and say to your friend 'I just saw the most incredible looking person'. Without prompting, your friend would instantly say 'I did too' and point straight to Hawkins. Mean that as a compliment.

 

[Matty411]

What're the chances we could actually move 12+14 on and get 3? Throw Bot in?

It sure would help them get their targets in. Maybe BOTH Baker and Bolton.

 

[ctwenty1]

Good to read in the no discussion thread to see that kempy has been hitting the gym hard, so hard in fact he has changed his name from Brodie to Broadie

12 + 14 would never get pick 3 in isolation. Unless more was at play (eg like unlocking trades, as you suggest).

Ultimately that would mean we'd have paid 12, F1 and F2 for pick 3. That's pretty hefty. That's ballpark what Port paid for JHF and he was more of a sure thing than an 18yo draftee (IMHO). It's more than what Geelong paid for Jeremy Cameron. And so on...

You'd want to be pretty bloody sure about the kid you're picking. Coz you're giving up the pointy end of two drafts to select him.

 

[ferrisb]

From someone very close to broadie. Broadie Kemp will likely play 3rd tall forward next year.

For Carlton, right?

Just with the day we've had, I'm not sure of anything any more...

Yup that’s what SOS thought too, but sadly and bitterly we all know different.

 

[Big Delut]

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

29 and major concerns with his body. It's also worth noting he has never played 20+ games in a season

Perfect marchbank replacement!

Not overly surprising this one. It's just a matter of what we have in mind for JSOS. I think he and Kemp might be vying for the same spot or JSOS is going down back. I'd play one ruck and use JSOS as relief though.

 

[katmanblue]

Also dated JSOS’ sister so has close ties to our club

That carwashes former employee list might be illuminating.

Who's JSOS? Jack Silvagni? If so he doesn't have a sister.

Shh, not too loud.

I think Harry will play relief ruck from now on. I haven't been a fan of that up until now, but now that he is fully mature and match hardened and settled into his own game, i think he is well rounded now to add ruck relief to his game.

Like Joe Daniher, it wasn't until he was fully matured mentally and physically that he was ready to add ruck without harming his main role as KPF.

I think Jack will be depth from now on....which prolly means he plays most games if he is one of the lucky uninjured ones lol.

Yeah but what if you were in that crowd of 1000 too Ferrisb? Who would they both be pointing out then???

Hawkins wouldn’t stand a chance
