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

[morningbrown]

Club is now fully invested in the draft. Houston is a slight possibility-the club believe that port may lower their stance to an F1 and a 2nd rounder which in the case it is possible, especially if they get Lukosius.

Club not relying on it. The club is even now trying to source a top 5 pick by trading 11 an F1 and owies. Austin really rates Murphy Reid-he is a high IQ, goal kicking and high impact per possession inside mid-something none of our midfielders have unfortunately.

The club is also looking into two ‘Salary dump’ players. One I totally understand and fits a need the other to me makes no sense….

Either way-interesting off season and Austin is keeping busy. We will not be only getting Haynes and going to the draft with only pick 11-that is a guarantee.

It’s shaping up to be an intriguing offseason, one where Austin is playing the long game. One thing is certain: this won’t end with just Haynes and pick 11. Rumors swirl that the club is looking into two “salary dump” players. One seems a perfect fit, a need that has long been on the radar. The other? It raises eyebrows and leaves many puzzled.

Behind the scenes, the club is also making moves for a top 5 pick, potentially involving pick 11, an F1, and Owies in the trade. Austin has his sights set on Murphy Reid—an inside mid with speed, sharp decision-making, and an impact that none of our current midfielders can match.

As for Houston, the situation remains fluid. If Port lowers their demand to an F1 and a second-rounder, the door might open, especially with the Lukosius piece in play. But the club isn't resting on this possibility—they're fully committed to the draft.

You ok there mate

Talk about a farce.

That Rabble get Pick 8 for an UFA and the Crows receive NOTHING for Himmelberg (UFA)!

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Brisbanes first pick is now pick 20 and might now be easier to attain via trade. We should look to trade for gold coasts pick 13 and Brisbanes pick 20

 

[mjonc43]

Nobody should get anything, is my personal view.

I’m still filthy on the jarred Waite compo

Free Agency Compensation needs to be abolished.

First round compensation should be abolished, a max of 2nd round compensation should be it.

It should be nothing, but to get it over the line with clubs, max 2nd.

 

[Arr0w]

Battle compo should have been an end of 1st round pick, clearly his contract triggered pick 8

I have a very long post in me about this, but am at work so will save it

I think Reid has elite hands, vision and reads the play beautifully. For me, he lacks pace and penetration/punch by foot

Not sure he makes it as a full-time mid at the next level. Perhaps I was harsh with a late 1st ranking, just don't think he is a top 6 player

Perryman nets GWS pick 16

This is so frustrating. Perryman regarded as behind his mate Matt Kennedy when both were at GWS.

CHUGGA is still every bit the player Perryman is, they get a first rounder and if he leaves, we will be extraordinarily lucky to get a late second rounder.

Isn't this the new panel for AFL360?

To be fair, think Crows fans would have been ok with trading something away to get him up to GC

AFL throwing the whiney Joe Dirts a bone because they were sad. Pathetic.

What an embarrassment, absolute muppet!

What a joke this league is

Saints get pick 8 for Battle …

Madness

This pisses me off no end.

The guy has given years of good service (first game was 2017) to his employer but now wants to explore other opportunities. In what world should his former employer be compensated for him leaving.

 

[lukep_86]

I for one am certainly not looking forward to next week when the school holidays are over and the rumours dry up.

You heard it here first.

Straight from the horses mouth.

Industry sauces. Probably tomato.

For Voss from Orazio and his family?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Bassat the Asshat.

He got the outcome he was after though….

 

[Arr0w]

I should ring old man Fiorini, known the family for 4 decades

Following up from this, there has been interest, but not from the big 4 VIC clubs, at this stage

Won't mention the club that is interested, but very unlikely he extends if doesn't head home this year

Brisbanes first pick is now pick 20 and might now be easier to attain via trade. We should look to trade for gold coasts pick 13 and Brisbanes pick 20

Barrett would suggest McKay to Bris for both 20 and 13 picks plus another first rounder from a third club.
