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

[Blue_Fusion]

Just to expand. Cerra back from Qatar and very happy. Believes hammy problems fixed and feels great. Something to do with nerve endings etc?

Carlton sent Physio with him to observe and hopefully learn something new. Hopefully players like O’Keefe, Saad benefit as well

If Cerra is right, will be like a new recruit for 2025

 

[Arr0w]

This is going to be very interesting

We up our offer to the Suns, if we get it, we'll have back to back picks, if the Houston deal doesn't get done

Nice to have strong options

 

[marcmurphy3]

If we get #13 it's really a win/win. We either take two top-15 picks or we end up with Houston + one top-15 pick.

Plus ensure Pies can't get Houston.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Interesting. Lots if murmurings around us possibly getting him

Been linked as a ready to go stop gap for the Lions to replace Joe

 

[The Bighouse]

Levi is already up here & he wants to go around again!

You know he will at least bring the ball to ground & they are use to dodgy kicking forwards

Yep, that was my 1st thinking as a stop-gap measure (depending on how is knee is).
Covers all bases of Joe.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Hopefully we want 13 to take to draft if we're giving away 34 to get it too.

Best outcome imo. I have no doubt we would still offer Port 13 but that’s about it and we would be happy to go to the draft with 12, 13 and to get the Campos. 4 at the draft as Austin stated

 

[bluesDeluxe]

I guess if Kennedy/Carroll/Owies/Young are on the trade block we might get some picks from them

I would push out pitto as well

Anyone know what is so special about the treatment in Qatar compared to anywhere else?

 

[skadoosh]

What was this about?

Mods changing the No discussion tag to yellow, then red and then black.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Feeling the same, have faith in son of Curly. Thinking he has a couple of irons in the fire. KPD is our biggest need imo,

maybe James Blanck from the dawks. 196 cm's, 23 years old who will now be down the pecking order after the acquisition

of Barrass. We most likely pick up Berry, so small fwd stocks are addressed. Midfield for mine, not such a big issue.

If Cerra can get over his hamstring woes and Walshy gets back to his best. Then we should be okay.

If we'd had a fit Walsh and Cerra reckon we would have finished top 4.

That's without factoring in a hobbling Curnow for most of the year.

(or the scheize game plan)

Another reason why I think we will head straight to the draft. Our best is very very good

 

[The Bighouse]

I’m interested to see people’s opinions on Docs return in ‘25
I do not see him improving our midfield (wings incl) and not convinced about HB either

No great expectations honestly, reckon retirement would have been better list management.

 

[Beyond Blue]

I agree. I can only see him playing wing or half forward for the rest of his career.

MIN 4 wasn’t it? Room for more (or Lucas as a rookie)

I didn't realise the significance at the time, but there you go

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Doc at his best is a very welcome addition. I’d say 2025 will be his last year tbh. If he is fit, plays in our best 22 imo

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Yup. Whenever he comes back from a break, he has lost the most hamstring strength in the playing group.

Then stop giving him breaks. Gee, is it really that hard?

 

[Soapy V]

My personal preference is to take 12 & 13 to the draft.

My gut feel is we will use one for Houston. Just too much noise around.

Which ever way it works can’t be unhappy with results

A fit list, improvement in youth, Pick 12, Houston, Campo twins plus a couple of smart additions and we are in a great spot

 

[Sheephead]

Just read that surprising Houston/Lord thing. Messaged a mate who used to live in the city of Churches. He messaged a mate. He said his mate sent back a rather nasty reply, followed by, he expects Houston to come to us and Lord is required. Expects Port will eventually accept a 2024 first for Houston. Houston is known to be mates with plenty of blues players.

…and I just heard on Ch9 Houston went to JSOS wedding. So I guess that part adds up.

Best man.

Best friends since childhood. Played all of their junior footy together.

Easily. If you go through our list and possible additions it will be interesting to see where he plays.

This and why didnt Jack Martin pay a visit there during the season to fix his ongoing issues?

Frankly, if we'd rested Walsh (clearly hampered) and never played Cerra - playing Lord and Kennedy instead, might have snuck in too...

 

[Wickzki]

First player named on the interchange. Rotates mid and back. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he saw some rotation at half forward.

JSOS got married for the second time in a year?
