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

[Aphrodite]

Thanks soap. What about membury? I’m having fun with it atm with a mate that barracks for the saints. Kind of want it to be true after watching him melt

No you don’t

 

[Juice030103]

Big yes to getting another first this year and keeping it

 

[Blue_Fusion]

zorko is 35 and just made the AA team at halfback.

People keep bringing up Zorko...

Should I bring up how many players have fallen off a cliff at that age?

Vast majority of players fall off so badly they retire even 2-3 years before turning 35...

The main point is, we need to rejuvenate our list...

Too many of them turn 30 or late 20's next year... giving up more talented youth to bring in another late 20's only serves to hurt us more in the long run.

 

[Accidental genius]

Someone nailed it earlier…

Wishlist - player xyz
Reality - Haynes only

Looks like the KPD mid and small forward types to be pursued through mid season drafts and the like

 

[Arr0w]

If EP is on the money, we’ve gone backwards.

EP is a genuine ITK, and its not a poor outcome if we go to the draft and add cheaper mature age needs, but things change very quickly in an off season

 

[alfo]

Called it...
Small forward, perhaps played on the weekend...

Would love Paps in our forward line, ready to be let down again though.

 

[Soapy V]

He’s on a large list of players I am told we have spoken with. I don’t know anything more than that

I prefer this approach to aim to get as much draft capital as possible and remain open to what eventuates during trade week than locking into a target in Houston which is not a top list need and feeling pressured to make the deal even if it means paying overs.

 

[Bluebag13]

Why can’t we do what EP said plus getting some non rookie players if Kennedy and owies go.
We have plenty of levers to pull and many ways to fill our holes. It’s going to be an interesting few weeks

 

[HereComesJuddy]

As expected with us being very draft focused. Exactly what I’ve mentioned.

Our club doesn’t need gun players, we have plenty. We do however need a couple fringe players that hopefully transition into being very good players as well as going hard at this draft. Every chance the players we choose in this draft early will play early.

Let’s ****ing go

I certainly don't want to overpay for anyone

Talk of Houston has been around for a while, but I wouldn't pay more than a late ish 1st in total value

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Was it a potato chip, or a sweet potato chip,perhaps a veggie chip, yes that’s it! No, it a hot chip with chicken salt - I LOVE chicken salt, OMG I hope they don’t pour vinegar all over the chip, nothing worse - Malthouse loved vinigar! Please don’t remind me. Anyway, about this chip….

Hot chips, chicken salt and vinegar is as good as getting The Bont

There has been mention that Owies has spoken to GC...

Could we hand Owies + F1 for 12?

There'll be some competition to snap that pick up from them...

 

[JJBagger]

As much as I think we should trade one first rounder for an established quality player, I love that we could take 2 kids in the first round this year. Along with a couple of bargain pick ups, that would make for a sensational off season

 

[Soapy V]

Melbourne Tigers Saints and Pies showing interest in Kennedy. Had medicals

Was going to post this earlier today, wouldn’t be surprised

Please Matt, go Demons. Can’t watch you anywhere else, especially Pies. NFW there.

because like zorko, houston rarely if ever misses games through injury and is as reliable as they come health wise.
regarding falling off a cliff i just dont see it especially with the way the game is played and is going, a player like him is perfect for it and he's not just going to magically lose his kicking skills after he's 32

 

[BolshyAust]

Our recent track record of picks under 15 - not particularly spectacular.

Picks 3, 6 and 10 come to mind.

Harry was a number 10. Did you prefer Schache, Aaron Francis or Sam Weideman?

 

[sweethoney]

Luckily they were all gone before pick 10

He did say recent. SOS was never good at picking mids

 

[Benaly28]

Welcome back EP

If that transpires we’ve done sweet fa to improve our list considering where we are at.

[Dadda Dave]

We aren’t interested in Stringer

Thank **** for that

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Like I said if the scouts haven’t changed you’re only going to get the same recommendations- so Austin will be picking from the same pool.

Austin and agresta will know the pool as well as anyone
