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

[Stamos]

Real talk now. You don’t pronounce the suburb “Lalor” Law-la, so why is the football player Sam Lalor’s surname pronounced Law-la?

 

[SolGoodman]

I'd only consider that deal on draft night

I'd happily take Lalor, but if he is gone, O'Sullivan isn't that much better than kids around 12 & 14, IMHO

Same, Lalor for mine. In an absolute heartbeat.

“Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed.” That line always gets me.

West Coast will definitely look to trade now as they have committed to Baker, l would suggest they would do that deal, not sure we would unless Austin absolutely wants one of the high end players in the draft.
Not sure 12 & 14 for 3 is unders in this draft with the evenness of the first 15.

It isn’t unders from a points perspective but the extra pick that WCE would need to through in would be a third rounder.

There would the. need to be something else at play to get another inside 20 pick

 

[SolGoodman]

Very strange for wc to trading pick 3 without another pick inside top 10

Gets them Baker and potentially Bo Allan.

Their fans won’t like it, but I get the trade tbh

 

[ctwenty1]

Looks like his three in 15 years has contributed more

That’s is harsh swuzzle

Even draft. They need picks for Liam Baker.

I can’t believe I am about to pull out one of these lol



You can actually hear both pronunciations. Today was the first time I’ve heard Law-la when saying Lalor. You learn something new every day.

Camporeale and Fantasia have no chance of being pronounced correctly

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Pick 3? On a point value, it matches. But sometimes you just have to take the two kid inside the top 14.

I hope we don’t live to regret this if our number 1 target is gone by Pick 3.

Particularly when you have a midfield that lacks depth, balance and class….

Reads Yazz’s post… goes to research high end draft prospects

Tell me you are on the Carlton bigfooty board, without telling me you are on the Carlton bigfooty board

This board going for the world record number of posts over the shortest period of time possible

Particularly when you have a midfield that lacks depth, balance and class….

Yeah, completely agree. I would be more confident going for the two best available players instead of one.

The main thing that surprises me with the rumoured deal is how we are getting two picks in the 60s plus a mid-range draft pick along with 3 for 12+14. If it is real it might be too good of a deal for Austin to pass up...

 

[KingCharles]

If we are to trade for pick 3, I really really hope we use it on Sid Draper!! His explosiveness, pace, clearance work as well as his leadership would really transform our midfield



Reckon he will be an unbelievable player and only way I believe we could get him is if we secure pick 3 because the Crows would snap him up with pick 4

I’ve heard this is why we want 3

If we kept the two picks i doubt we would pick two midfielders

There was a Carlton fan account on Twitter/X that I’ve had a lot of rumours shared that have been spot on. They said that WC came to us for pick 3 not the other way around. We may have turned them down and they came back with a higher offer. This including the mid range pick and the two picks in the 60s.

Side note: we can’t go to the draft with more picks that list spots. But we can trade picks back for multiples while the draft is running.

 

[carlton_99]

Eagles board seem to think Moir should be involved in the deal. Imagine how stupid that would be

While WCE might have been the ones to approach us, I'm doubtful it was with pick 3 on the table. I reckon they might've wanted 12 + 14 for their F1 + 26 or something like that and then we would've asked the pick 3 question.

Not with knowledge, just wishes

Would only make sense if Moir requested a trade, which seems unlikely since we haven’t heard anything about that.

You mean they'd like him included

Having Charlie and Harry, coupled with Lalor and Walker over the next few years as medium forwards who can go through the midfield would put our forward line at the top imo. Hopefully we either have the smalls currently or in the near future that can step up in what could seriously be a dominant forward line

No point having a cracked forward line if the mids can’t get it to them, and with quality delivery.
