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

[CCurnow3votes]

I'm open to anything

And there it is!

OK Mr Worm4 (if that really is your name), exactly how well do you know Laura Kane?

 

[Juddrockz]

Yep, he plays third base...

Who's on third?

 

[Inspector Closseau]

This post was bold and fascinating until your orange sock rant that was so clumsy your namesake would blush...

Just a dig at the corporatisation of Footy Boards - the cause is worthy.

However, we will not win a flag with our current midfield.

I'll leave it at that...

Glicksy's going to get cleaned soon I think

I have a cheap log cabin in the woods, no electricity or water, but in great condition 20K

Crows are going real hard for him too

They want him at 140 Harbour Esplanade Docklands as well.

Not that there is anything wrong with that….

Wasn't Wright mentioned a little while back by a previous poster somewhere on here?

There was a rumour about his brothers Orville and Wilbur….. but it didn’t take off.

 

[Uncle Fester]

Meant SDK, not TDK.

What happened there? IDK...

is there another brother - Isaac, Ivan, Ian???

 

[Blue since 72]

Who’s IDK, Tom and Sam’s brother Ivan

It's Ian.

 

[Uncle Fester]

Who’s IDK, Tom and Sam’s brother Ivan

oops - beaten to the punch

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

I can see Ferris' musing being a daily column to give a balanced perspective.

Probably need a new Avatar with a pondering/ponderous look. I would pay to subscribe as it would have the vast majority of rubbish on here covered.

I have a format we could use...

I reckon he was and on one of the fox footy shows as a possibility also from memory

Not with Pitto as #1 ruck anyway....

With a fit and firing TDK, Sam walsh and Adam Cerra, absolutely.

Could have been a contender.

Denver Granger-Barrass been mentioned in passing here a while ago. Was touted as a future star - any idea why he hasn’t come on at Hawks?

Too skinny to play true KPD well, and just doesn't accumulate as an interceptor with basic defensive responsibilities.

They tried swinging him forward in the VFL and he got found out after 2 games.

berry, Travaglia (F1 and owies for 12 with GC) and hotton (salary dump pick, Kennedy pick, Carrol pick and F2 bundled) for a top 20 pick.

This just reads like you've been huffing BF/media draft insights. Hotton should be rated higher than both.

berry, Travaglia (F1 and owies for 12 with GC) and hotton (salary dump pick, Kennedy pick, Carrol pick and F2 bundled) for a top 20 pick.

Very well known Austin rates this draft and sees it as a way to regenerate the list with 5 elite young talents (3 top 20 picks and campo twins). I also know the club rates ben campo as a top 10 in the open draft and already have him pencilled in to line up round 1 next year-he is ready made.

Berry is the small forward we need. Travaglia v composed HB, I think the club wants Cowan as an inside mid/winger so they want travaglia now as they don’t think they get Houston (this was the logic to push cowan up the ground and Houston HB) club are very bullish on Cowan-idk if you all recall In that car interview with vossy how he said Cowan is now one of the first picked. They know Cowan wants mid time and want to give him that so he doesn’t go to Tasmania-(genuine fear of the club and rightly so as a Tassy boy)

Hotton also high on Austin’s list as a Rayner type bulldozing mid/forward that can win a game off his own boot . I think we miss that atm unfortunately Elijah hollands is X factor and elite as the mid/HF but not a match winner. Needs hotton on the other HF to complement him.

Berry is a very stock standard forward that will get pushed off the ball at the elite level, probably his whole career.

Not sure he has enough of a speed/agility combo to get around that, but he's closer than most and has a good endurance base. Sad case of an undersized mid in the modern game, and reminiscent of Fogarty.

Travaglia when I've watched him has been all arms and legs, repeatedly cooking disposal efforts under basic pressure because he tries to explode from HB every time.

You absolutely do not want to turn Hotton into a power mid, it will destroy the best parts of his game. Just need to build stability in his hips and knees, and teach him not to mindlessly hurtle himself into the air for the football - unless it's absolutely necessary - as well as how to land.

Konstanty gonna come to us (formality) either for an F4 or as a DFA. He was a pick 20 2 years ago to swans. Austin rated him highly and wanted him over Cowan-he was trying to get up the board for him.

Has been injury prone and appaz has no mates at the swans doesn’t fit into the culture. Gonna be our best small forward instantly if he stays fit. He applies defensive pressure (which obviously Fogarty provides in spades) but also kicks goals was elite for Gippsland.

Don’t wanna hype him up but get veryyyy excited. Averaged 6 tackles in his draft year and kicked 4 goals in a prelim for Gippsland. Should he stay injury free I expect him named over durian and mots R1

So to be clear, he kicked 13 goals in 13 games for the rest of his NAB League season, which matches up with his VFL output so far.

If he's immediately our best small forward, we're ****ed. He's a slow mark and kick player, like Owies. Not worth a list spot, so I assume he's a possible VFL signing.

only just got this source a few days ago as my mate became a manager himself.
this is what is happening behind closed doors CONFIRMED. Directly from Player manager and other managers.
obviously i dont as this is the first time ive had a proper source.

If that's true, it's the first time your mate has been a proper source too, because you've both just given him away to other player managers.

I think you're telling the truth, but I think you're being partially fed disinformation, which would be standard fare* this time of year.

And there it is!

Citizen Kane - don't know her. Have not seen since April

 

[AndyLucimitis]

It's Ian.

I was only joking when I said Ian

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Don't worry the 3rd brother is usually the best, apparently

Berry sounds like the exact type of player we need.

Marquee Matchup: Joe Berry vs. Isaac Kako

Joe Berry and Isaac Kako are the consensus best two small forwards in the AFL Draft crop, but how do they match up against each other?

[HyphensBack]

Why are people allowed to post bullshit in here, but any report from an actual journo is rubbished? I'm legitimately asking a question and not "bullying".

Cause it’s fun
And ditto

There's plenty of game highlights on YouTube, go watch and see for yourself.

I'd consider him at the back end of the first round, but you need to see him in that Gresham, Fogarty mould, he's no Nick Watson unless he finds another gear.
