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

[jimsta10]

Cant Dan just nominate us and settle this?

 

[Campoeasy]

Listening to leppa this morning sounds like Collingwood have pick 13 and Houston as good as signed, sealed and delivered

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Austin also ruled out Membrey, focused on the draft

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Must get that pick from the Suns. If we get it we hold all the cards in the Houston negotiations. Without it the Filth will strike.

 

[juzza316]

Pies get Perryman and Houston, we get Haynes

 

[Coona Blues]

Poor Dan, wants the Blues, probably gets picked up by the toothless rabble lol

If he wants us so badly, he should nominate us. Take the ‘pies out of the mix and give us more scope to trade the pick. We want that pick (or another late first) maybe for Houston, but definitely as a fall back to take to the draft.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

F1 & 34

They're not really after 34 though imo...

We need to swap 34 for another F2 to make the F1 + F2 offer

 

[dumb]

Pies get Perryman and Houston, we get Haynes

pies get houston, and we never wanted him anyway

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Starting to sound like people want Houston just to stick it up to the Pies...

If the value is there Port can on-trade themselves

yeh nothing to do with him being a gun footballer or anything

Fiorini/Weller could help?

 

[TrueQldBlue]

Austin just said Membrey won't be happening....

If Pies lose Noble and Richards for Houston that is a huge loss

Noble plays a similar role at a lesser level and Joe Richards is the only young midfielder they’ve blooded that has so much as given a yelp

Lose two 'bit part' (albeit with some talent) players for a dual AA player that makes the Pies immediately better.

This post screams more of hope than reality, me thinks..

 

[Stamos]

I want #13 to stick it to the Pies.
Then take it to the draft

 

[T2B_]

Kinda fell into place for the Filth really. Noble wants GC, Richards wants Port.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

What realistic offer could we make without #13?

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Haha of course...

The most precise long bomb up the line we'll ever see!

 

[Blue__Balls]

Who between 13 & 20 is known to be trading out?

No idea, but at a glance:

- Richmond's outgoing group of players could end up with them being overstocked with draft picks, and if they can't/don't want to move up any higher then they may be happy to defer a pick til next year.

- GWS just got silly compo for Perryman, now hold 15, 16 and 21. Not sure on their academy options next year but they could be open to trading one back.

- Sydney have a couple of late firsts (19 and 22) - similar story to GWS, they may have a greater need for a pick next year.

- GC also have Pick 23, depending on their list numbers and other picks they may also be happy to trade 23 back a year if they already have enough points to secure Lombard.

Early days, no idea where all these picks will end up with other trades still needing to happen, but there's a very real chance that we can opt out of the bidding war for Pick 13, pay a fairer price for (eg.) Pick 18, and either get the player we'd have taken at 13 or one of a similar calibre.

Ie. miss out on Berry, draft Hannaford.
Or miss out on Hotton, draft Tauru.
Or miss out on Travaglia, draft Lindsay

And if we retain Pick 12, we're getting our first preference from the two picks anyway.

Looks like Houston will land at the Pies. Joe Richards was the key to it. Looking like it'll be...

Noble + F1 to GCS for picks 13 + 23
Richards + picks 13+23 to Port for Houston (plus some change back in return)

 

[ferrisb]

There’s not a chance Noble is a first round trade.
2nd to 3rd at best.

If Gold Coast give Collingwood a 1st rounder for Noble, it would be in line with how Noble plays..... completely uncontested

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Ie. miss out on Berry, draft Hannaford.
Or miss out on Hotton, draft Tauru.
Or miss out on Travaglia, draft Lindsay

From what I've heard Tauru is putting up absolutely silly numbers at the combine and is looking more and more likely by the day to be a top 10-ish pick. I personally don't see it on the field but the numbers are there.

Noble + F1 to GCS for picks 13 + 23
Richards + picks 13+23 to Port for Houston (plus some change back in return)

Would be sheer madness for GCS to take that deal. So sounds like a done deal then.

Why would GCS accept that trade?

If we come knocking on the door with F1 + F2 for 13 + 49, surely they take that?

23 for Noble is actually too generous anyway...

I can't understand clubs demanding 1st round picks for players that are fringe best 22...

Big win for the Pies if true.

Am I missing something with noble? 180cm running defender that averages >20 touches per game. 28 next year. Barely best 22 at pies. Seems like your classic fringe player.
