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

[V_23]

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.

 

[KingCharles]

Lalor or Draper would be that player

I’ve heard we are eyeing Draper at 3 as we know Adelaide will nab him at 4

 

[Just Kreuzing]

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

Good point

 

[Arr0w]

Eagles clearly want more pointy end picks this year, but also reluctant to use future picks as they want Warner next year

Very interested how this plays out

You reckon we're even getting 3?

She’s usually just waiting in the car with Steve.

Must have been awkward for Cam Polson.

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...

Not to mention needing list spots before all those can be taken to the draft (therefore they probably get consolidated)

 

[KingCharles]

Big chance

 

[BigBreakfast]

The players and the coach want him. Adding a great talent that the team and coach want is huge.
If they still say no, I'd say...yep pretty arrogant.
And again I'm gunna emphasise that my stance says one of each.
One Houston or equal talent level
One high quality draft pick.
Balance. Flag contention. Makes sense to me. And maybe a few others.

Players all jumped on the Teague Train too. How did that go?
Players aren’t List managers for a reason!

 

[Jimmae]

Can we stick with 12 & 14 please?

I feel like we have good options there, but feel like we miss out on that big point of difference we're hoping for at what might shake out as pick 4 - or even 5 - on the night.

 

[My Hat]

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?

And yet:

'The Division of Lalor (/ˈlɔːlər/) "law-lor" is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria.'

wasn’t the rumour going around that the only club Draper didn’t want to get drafted by was Adelaide? Because of how they handled dropping Rachelle

I’m with u, there’s every chance 12 or 14 have as big an impact as 3.
Rather have 2 cracks at it with an outside chance of pushing one of them up with Owies/Kennedy picks.
Trading out a whole heap of future players just for 1 pick

I don't mind this, considering Cody is projected top 5 in next years draft.

2026.

 

[Juddrockz]

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

Ummm nope,give them Bot if they want a player.

 

[Blue Dimension]

Womp there it is!

Just an opinion but I think Smillie is that big point of difference if we trade up. Bull mid and measured 195.5cm at Combine. Good disposal, could play KP also.

From my extensive draft research (about 5-10 minutes ), Draper is the one I’d want with an early pick.

Players aren’t List managers for a reason!

Houston is Teague now?
We know Houston is a quality player, and it's a different scenario.
If the rumours are true
We are getting just one top quality player in the draft.
Not 1 quality draft pick and one quality trade.
Is that the best possible move for us?

Who knows?

You'd think Houston and a draft pick or even 2 draft picks might be better, but again...it's all in Lloyd and Austin's hands isn't it.

Maybe it's an amazing move. Time will tell.

God I hope you are right

Can replace mids much easier than forwards. And currently our midfield isn’t broken, just needs work over the next few years

Midfield’s too slow and one-dimensional, in my opinion. Too many slow, contested ball-winners with average disposal.
