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

[Jimmae]

If we could crack into the top ten then i'd be happy with two picks prior to the campos

From what I've seen and understand, it's pretty even from 6-30 in this draft, though I'd argue some are valued too highly in that mix.

Cody Walker

Yeah but he's going to need some help pretty quickly after he enters the league. He's basically replacing Cripps.

JSOS also has something that you can't teach, footy smarts. Just knows where to run and is not prone to brain fades like Kemp...

Time to lose the development coaches, video analysis work, and throw that money at the recruitment team then

 

[Blue Bloods]

Per year? That’s two years salary for a player like Owies. Not sure what he’s thinking.

His manager is not doing his job if he's asking for such an unrealistic contract.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet and that sounds like something made up.

 

[Stamos]

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet and that sounds like something made up.

Yeah, it cannot be true

 

[MrJimmy]

Surely Owies wanting 7-800k a year is bullshit haha

2x F1 picks coming back then?........Am I doing it right?

 

[yibbida]

I never thought I'd be writing this sentence but it is being reported that Owies wants 700K-800K per year for his next contract...

Source: https://www.codesports.com.au/afl/t...ive-coverage/eba2e2a221ef14e27694d86eb092f92d

he has been on $85k for most of his time with us.....

 

[CJMB]

I just can't comprehend letting our 3rd best goal kicker go for nothing. I don't care about the "potential" of Motlop or Durdin or Moir. Owies has runs on the board and is our best small right now.

Even if he's asking for a bats*** crazy contract? What are we meant to do?

 

[Blue and Silver]

Owies deserves decent AFL money.

But he shouldn't be getting that coin

Houston isn’t just about the trade capital it is about the wage, Houston is a quality AFL footballer and would demand a good wage and rightly so and we would love to add him to the list.

But Weitering up for a new contract, TDK also must be priority over a good HBF. No idea where our cap is at but that will have just as big a say as draft picks. Trust the club to know what they are doing.

Well with the delistings, Kennedy and owies potentially off the books, plus the reported 850k we were willing to throw at Hayward this year id say we're fine.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

My post clearly states our 1st round pick

F2?

As for our 1st, Austin is adamant that's off the table.

 

[The Bighouse]

Holy crap...when you hear Austin's response when asked about Owies, he'd be starting to pack his bags as we speak. 'We need list spots, JSOS back next year, want to get games in Moir, have faith in Durds and Motlop' etc

I reckons Owies is G.O.R.N. Or maybe re-rookied at best.

Prefer Owies as a forward. Certainly sounds like he won’t be getting paid a lot if he gets to go around again with us, though surely someone would pick him up for backup, if not best XXII (capable of 30+ goals).

Sound out the interest of PTA for Motlop > Houston offer.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Surely Owies wanting 7-800k a year is bullshit haha

Surely he/his manager can't be that stupid...

That report must be bollocks...

 

[CJMB]

Contested footy smart is a premium. Just ask Brisbane coach with Neil, Dunkley, McCluggage & Ashcroft - all full of pace.

it's obviously not just pace, as I originally said, "The market wants midfielders with some combination of fast feet, leg speed, elite/damaging kicking in play, ability to play inside & out." I mean, I even wrote it so you can exclude any reference to pace and still have what would be considered a sought-after type, you just had to pay attention.

Could we do what we did to Jones and turn him into a decent 2nd tall/FB???

I think this has been experimented with at some point though....

Been tried.

He's a three club bust unfortunately

Why would the Tigers want 3 slowish ex giants inside mids? Particularly when the 2 that they have are on 7 year massive deals.

One rarely gets on the park. The other is 32 from what I read earlier and he’ll get the midfield inside role he craves. Plus he can go forward and get to play every week.

No. He’s shit.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Depends what other trades get done by both clubs prior to this deal


See above

Ok, in your opinion... what could we trade to obtain another F2?

Everyone has opinion of worth

Haha, of course...

Never stated they would accept, just what I would offer as max value

Fair enough.

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Owies wants $700-800k?!?

See ya Matthew, good luck at your new club

 

[LanceRomance]

People banging on about Brisbane picking up young kids in the draft... they get academy selections... makes it easier

 

[morningbrown]

Even if he's asking for a bats*** crazy contract? What are we meant to do?

I think if its like 500k I'd be fine to honour that. But it doesn't sound like he's got any suitors so we kinda have the power here.

 

[Arr0w]

We might trade Kennedy for a F2

Haha, of course...

Fair enough.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Trade period should only be 5 days as well

Too must posturing and pandering

Lots of media consumed - good for AFL & media coffers.

A week would be enough you’d think.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

You will want him and like it !

Or not.

Kennedy plays outside and inside. You can belittle posters with your final comment, as you like to do, but facts are, he is better outside than some of our existing mids. He has better skills, defensive mindset and hits the score board.

As I said - Dunkley and McGluggage are close to Kennedy's skill set, Neil and Ashcroft also have similar leg speed.
That is fact - now you can ignore if you like.
