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

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Hard to tell what’s going on but you have to think that the play it cool approach isn’t the best way to go about it if you’re genuinely interested. If we really want him just give up 12 + F2 and then try to trade back in later.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Maybe why the GW was dropped today?
The club possibly knew Houston was Filth bound,softens the blow?

Maybe

Wright starts Monday and was asked today at the presser if he will get involved with trade week and he said he won’t but will talk with Austin and Lloyd so we will see what happens

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

I know.
My emotions are like a brides knickers.
Up and down all day !

I'd prefer to take 2 mid teen picks to the draft before Campo's.
But I'll cope with Houston, providing we don't over pay...or lose TDK due to a fully stretched Cap.

In the press conference Cook specifically said he was looking forward to Wright's input on their trade week strategy.

If your priority is taking a top 15 pick to draft why would you trade your only one when you aren't guaranteed to get another.

Your right, so maybe Wright can get us to get one over his old side

 

[Sector 7G]

I would have thought the Pies would have been better off chasing Battle or Barass to fill their backline hole

I guess the club hasn’t said anything but the noise suggests we have a foot in each camp. Hard to believe our position with him is we’ll take you if you can’t get a deal done and it’s on our terms. I don’t buy it.

 

[Red_man2008]

Houston does not want Collingwood. Port hopefully won’t force his hand for 1 first round pick and a fringe pie that won’t even be best 22.

 

[Juice030103]

Still plenty to play out with Houston.

Relax

Fair, was half joking as I think the last thing we need is another all Australian chewing up our salary

 

[DEliades]

Just get the deal done carlton ffs!

Houston is a jet!

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Think a lot of this trade period hinges on who we can trade out and get some picks for. We need list spots and probably need a few 2nd/3rd rounders short of being able to make the supposed deals line up and work. Kennedy, Owies, Young and Carroll departing would unlock options for us

Interesting how you can be in a current 4 year contract, want to be in vic but also say nope to teams... kids these days.. (if true)

I personally don't see it as a foot in each camp as we have made it clear via Austin's interviews that our priority is hitting the draft this off season. We currently have one first round pick to do that in 2024. Now, we are trying to bring in a second first round pick to give us the flexibility to put a deal together for Houston. That's what you would do if the draft is priority one and Houston priority two imo

 

[carlton_99]

He may prefer Carlton but if he wants to go to Victoria I don't think he is going to say no to Collingwood if it gives Port the best deal.

[carlton_99]

If the rumoured deals above from the Pies to the Suns (for pick 13) and Port (for Houston) are accurate they are truly delusional.

 

[reg_lower91]

I've heard Mason Cox has put in quite a few superb finals performances. Could we look there you think?

Ive heard Cain ackland is coming out of retirement (Chuck it in the bluemour thread)

 

[DEliades]

That 3 way trade was rumoured on Monday.

I’m also not buying the filth is now his preferred destination

 

[YeoShuey]

So we are keeping Young and Kennedy?

No team wants them. Should we just delist already?

 

[Markyd]

Why bother with Houston when we can load up in this super draft and target free agent LDU in 2025.

 

[Arr0w]

If the Pies really want to get those deals done, they will need to give up more to both GC and Port, which they don't have unless they trade out more than Richards and Noble or give them away

 

[carlton_99]

So we are keeping Young and Kennedy?

No team wants them. Should we just delist already?

I'm happy to keep Young and delist S.Durdin personally. Same outcome list spot wise but Young a far more reliable player

 

[I bleed Blue]

If Houston has a preference he just needs to come out and nominate who it is.

Also the other thing I hate about trade week is certain picks holding everything up.

This GC pick 13 is a pain.

Why can't we just trade our F1 and whatever else we were thinking to Port.

Port can then go and on trade it to whoever they want (go get the GC 13 if that's the one).

Just painful
