Hot Topic Bluemour Discussion XXXVI - 'Loopy' Season in full swing

[Coops93]

Or maybe someone like Rosas, who's still got a year remaining on his contract that we'll take on without the need to give anything up.

I considered Rosas, but I doubt he'd be a salary dump type given he'd be on a rather modest contract and for only 1 more year. Moving him on wouldn't exactly be clearing the decks, it'd be like move a single shelf drawer slightly further to the side.

 

[Aphrodite]

Has 1yr left on his GC contract!

 

[WyntersGame_]

This just reaffirms he is going nowhere for me.

 

[HaydossJ]

Austin needs to be fired if that's the case

Are you an AFL scout and/or list manager?

 

[Coops93]

Fiorini is just ok. He's not overly fast, isn't physical for a guy of his size, his skill is B grade (good, not great), isn't a big accumulator, doesn't have a huge tank and isn't a great mark. He's a C+/B- grade in lots of things but B+ at nothing type of player.

I'm not really sure he's one that moves the needle for anyone, if it's between him and Kennedy I'd probably prefer to keep Kennedy given his versatility.

 

[Zlatan]

I don’t know why this specific trade has me so irate, but if we give even a single first round pick for this guy I’m driving my car through the princes park merch store

 

[Arr0w]

Do we get a draft pick with that?

Doubt it, but not suggesting its him

Think the player is closer to home, only a "short" distance away

 

[T2B_]

No deal thanks Port. He's good but not that good.

 

[bradfisher14]

If it's Fiorini I don't mind it. Solid C/B grader across a number of positions - mid, wing, half back. Reminds me of the Acres trade tbh.

He'd be a good complement to our midfield rotation. A touch faster, can apply pressure at stoppage, and better in defensive transition than the Hewett/Kennedy/Cerra/Cripps types. If he's half back, that gives more wing minutes to Ollie/Doc/Moo. Then vice cersa if he's on the wing. Can kick a goal and uses the ball reasonably well in general. He's a lefty. Also has an Italian last name.

 

[Arr0w]

I'd say Fiorini is Pies bound

 

[bradfisher14]

Oooooooh. I don't mind it. Can't imagine they'd need the cap space though. Do you know something we don't?

Not the Tigers variety

I’m dumb. Can you explain the advantage of doing this?

 

[bradfisher14]

Not the Tigers variety

So literally a short player?

Concerned the Carlton Crew in Lygon St will not be able to pronounce the first name...

 

[Blue By Blood]

If we’ve convinced Houston that Carlton is the place for him then I can’t see us backing away from the trade. That would be a bad look. I also don’t see any world in which we part with 2 first round picks for him. That’s overs.. Port know it and we know it. It’s their initial demands.. we’ll meet somewhere in the middle- a first and a second for Houston and a third or something along those lines. North were always just being used mainly by Port as leverage.

As for Fiorini.. he’s a handy player but I’m not sure he’s a good fit for us. From memory he’s tried to get to the Pies a couple of times in the past so I think Arrow is probably on the mark saying Collingwood.

Guaranteed the Carlton crew can’t pronounce his first name

Can they fit him in with the Perryman contract?

GC last year contracts tend to be big

2 1st rounders for a Half back flanker

What a load of shit

 

[Juice030103]

If we give up both firsts for Houston I’ll be done with the club

 

[Blue and Silver]

Port don't want to trade him so ask for a ridiculous price.

Tbh sounds like, cya next year when we do this again but this time they come to the table

The request isn't unreasonable for an All-Australian in his prime. Just not sure we need him that much.

If that was the case I think he would already have nominated us. Port don't need to meet us in the middle. He's said he's happy to stay and thanks to their failure to nab Perryman and Cummings they need him to.
