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

[Jimmae]

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?

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.

Ivanka?

not buried on a golf course for tax purposes AFAIK

I was only joking when I said Ian

So was I.

[Pablito]

I know it's wrong of me to say or think it.

But if he plays 20+ games next year I'll spew up.

 

[GoBlues!]

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.

Tend to agree re Joe Berry. If we recruit him feel we'll end up with another average small forward with deficiencies joining Fogarty, Motlop and Durdin.

I do like like the look of Lindsay and Hotton.

Free hit replacement for Rohan and yes so will I.

Maybe it's not an 'I' but a 'J' - Johan Cruyff De Konning

I reckon he's well and truly looked after himself this year, just so as to prepare to play a lot of footy next year....

.......And then slip back into the medical room awaiting the next contract. Rinse, repeat.

Xavier has X factor

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Xavier has X factor

Is Lindsay the one with the concussion history or have I got that wrong?

 

[RPCB]

Of course Mitch Cleary is going with “he will arrive at the Cats for nothing.” I guess acting like Martin’s contract will be the bare minimum stops anyone from asking how they can also add Oliver and Smith as well.

Luke Trainor. Lyndsay suffered a PCL at the end of the season

Classic cats fan running interference for them. Something even the neutral media performers do so well

Think he could be better than Durdin and Motlop but perhaps it's a case of we believe he will be the best available at our pick.

Think it's obvious we need help in defence but that will come from mature age trades at best (as it should as Weiters needs help now) so that leaves us with a mid or a forward or a combo at our first pick.

Personally i'm hoping for a pacey type with elite foot skills, good decision making who can run both ways.

They'd have stacks of salary room wouldn't they?

Don’t need salary cap room when you have acres of property and Cotton On

It's an interesting suggestion and the spelling in particular makes sense, i'll look into it.

I just can't believe he could have a 'positive' medical - what did they test ?

They always seem to.

His blood. He was O “positive”

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Enjoy a long post rumour/information, although I highly doubt certain players would be told that they are or aren't playing round 1, 5 months out

I like a good rumour and or information as much as much as the next guy, but this long post reads like a summary of the last month on here mixed with a list of personal preferences of what he wants/ she wants. I mean Cerra told at the beginning of September he isnt playing Round 1 sometime in March 2025 seems very much far-fetched to me.

Willing to stand corrected however.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

They just asked him if everything was ok

 

[carlton_99]

He didn't get injured during the scan = positive medical

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Lol. Hasn't played for a month. Of course he's going to pass a medical.
