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

[carlton_99]

The problems have always run deeper than the coach.

I think Dimma is going to find that out in the next couple of years if he hasn't already.

100% - the whole football department is a mess. I understand they value picks less than other teams with academy etc but they need to be far better imo. They are about to give up 13 to the Pies for an inferior offer.

 

[GoBlues!]

I hope we go with two first rounders over pick 3. We have holes to fill, not just one superstar kid. 3 major holes. Small forward, onball, key back. And 2 minor holes after those 3 which are again onball and forward.

One pick doesn't solve these issues but 2 or 3 good picks will if we select well.

I’m not sure drafting a small forward is going to fill a major hole immediately, could be a couple of years to develop given the progress seen with Motlop.

Prefer we focus on quick on ballers, KPD and bolster these areas first

There was word a few months back that North was open to split their pick 2.

I was surprised at the time as picking splitting is normally more suitable to clubs early in the rebuild or with a trade target.

Still some talk of 12 and 14, for 2 and Owies floating around.

 

[DollarsandSense]

I want Draper. Kids perfect for us. Plus his combination with BC is awesome. Make it happen Austin.

Annoying the dees have picks 5 and 9 now

I hate Melbourne

They currently have Pick 5 atm.

Still a lot to play out.

Where’s this coming from??

 

[DrTrain]

Maybe we get 3 and 27
Saints get 12 26 and Pitto
WCE get 8 and 14

 

[Aphrodite]

I saw the tweet.

‘Are set to strike a deal for Pick 9’

Until the paperwork is lodged & approved with the AFL, it hasn’t happened (yet)

 

[I bleed Blue]

St Kilda could be another team that gets very nervous over the next couple of days now that Soldo has failed his medicals.

SOS will try and screw us but I wonder if there's an opportunity to make him feel like a million bucks while taking them to the cleaners at the same time.

Players with injury history? When has that ever stopped SOS from bringing them in.

Talk from?

Saints can offer a far better deal for 3 than we can

 

[marcmurphy3]

Maybe a 3 way trade between Eagles, Saints Richmond. 7 and 8 alone is overs for 3. Saints need something back to get it done.

Eagles:

• Give pick 3
• Get Baker, pick 7

Saints

• Give pick 7,8
• Get pick 3,24

Tigers

• Give Baker, pick 24
• Get pick 8

Could be pick 18 not 24 if Richmond get that for bolton

 

[Gointocarlton]

With 12 and 14, whatever we do with them is win win. Two picks like that for a team like us seemingly on the cusp is dynamite.

 

[KohPhi]

Offer Pitto to Saints for a pick in mid twenties, work horse and reasonably durable, would be a good addition.
They may just do it.

Or I may hear their fits of laughter at the proposal from my hotel in Fremantle..

Not enough for us in this

I doubt we'd shop him or that we'd get anything useful in exchange, but I would love for us to do this and find a back up ruck as a DFA.

Could see them taking Tauru and Armstrong tbh

 

[Arr0w]

Demons could put themselves back in the hunt for Houston, or North could deal with the Demons and have another crack at Houston

Interesting times

Id happily take Brayden Crossley

 

[BlueTongue]

Demons could put themselves back in the hunt fit Houston, or North could deal with the Demons and have another crack at Houston

Interesting times

Don't burst my bubble. I was happy in la la land with Houston & Trainor

 

[swuzzlebubble]

How high could 12 & 14 get us if we traded up? 5 - 7?

F1 (early/mid teens, 28 & 40) for Houston with 9 would be good business by Melbourne.

You sound like a real estate agent trying to sell a “renovator’s delight”.

We have no more capital to spend… we would have to sell both 12&14 to get one higher pick.
