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

[Bfevola]

I posted this a couple of weeks ago. We have been speaking with him since end of our season

Fits in with getting picks and then role players for nothing

How will we get him ? Late trade ? SSP train on is mid next year isn’t it. And as a Rookie he will need to bypass other teams before us. I like this type of risk transaction.

Can we call it the Harmes thread please Aphrodite

Can’t see any Harmes in that

It would be rookie draft at the earliest.
If we take him as a train on player with a look to SSP, last year’s dates were 27/11 - 14/12 & 15/1 - 19/2.

Real talk now. You don’t pronounce the suburb “Lalor” Law-la, so why is the football player Sam Lalor’s surname pronounced Law-la?

Maybe it’s Irish like Siobhan

Can’t see any Harmes in that

Well it was rumoured he was the youngest Norm Smith winner until everyone went all ga ga over Ashcroft.
Bluemour Discussion 37 - Waynes Harmes appreciation thread, has a nice ring to it.

I can only assume we have done our due diligence and believe we can help him reach his potential. If we can its a massive get

Could this mean Young has found a home?

 

[The Bighouse]

He’d have to have more upside than S. Durdin so seems like a smart play by us. Interesting that we’ve been linked to both Hawks defenders on the outer (Phillips and DGB). Phillips would be the more ready to go option. DGB probably the more talented prospect.

Does DGB play with aggression and a bit of mongrel? I feel like this is super important for key defenders. We don’t want the Schache types who have talent but no intensity and mongrel.

I’ve got a feeling that the aggression may be a missing component.

Also moved from defence to forward as it wasn’t working for him.

Had some decent game/s at WAFL seniors level IIRC before drafting. Think one was on a fellow draftee KPF (Swans vs Claremont, Logan McDonald)

Interesting that we’d have pick# 6 & 7 from 2020 draft ahead of Saad’s pick#8 (10)

You wouldn't move Young expecting DGB to replace him

 

[RoyalBlues]

Maybe, if DGB works in the CBD, and at BCF on the W/E, the AFL and the new CEO can set some KPIs which will help him get busy in traffic, camp under the ball more and be a better Blue than he was Hawk and an SSP selection maybe . . .

Sorry I was a bit slow on the uptake….was that ball rumoured to be OOB??

I doubt it. I think it means Durdin is delisted

 

[RoyalBlues]

It definitely wasn’t, but also, there was ‘no Harmes” in the gif

 

[Arr0w]

Really liked DGB in his draft year, but hasn't developed and or had injuries

No issue with an SSP selection, but can't see him being a replacement for Young, at the moment

 

[Wickzki]

I’ve got a feeling that the aggression may be a missing component.

A bloke that played a hand in his development has questioned how much desire he has to be an AFL player.

They've been unable to improve much of him physically - strength and endurance/tank.

Been injury prone that hasn't helped.

He has a lot of ability and untapped potential and the right development coach (Power?) might be able to get the best out of him and help him get up the grade. If he falls it won't be for a lack of skill

 

[myblueroan]

Just a reminder that Vossy getting what he wanted and asked for didn't end well in Brisbane.

He can tell the list management and footy department what he wants and what he needs but ultimately it's a team effort.

A coach will always look at the short-term solution.

We've become a club that has a continuous improvement philosophy from the way the club is run from top to bottom thanks to Sayers and especially Brian Cook.

Graham Wright is supposedly of the same overall philosophy.

The coach won't always get specifically (target wise) what they want.

But he asked for defender depth - we've addressed that with Haynes and potentially DBG

He's asked for two way runners - we're likely addressing that in the draft with our top pick(s) and Campos.

The rest is on the footy dept to address those wants with long-term needs and signs are strong v

I'm happy that you'r happy Wick!

 

[Red Bull]

We just had to get someone … anyone that will at least take the field every week.
Durdin has been taking the piss and has to go … no matter what !!

 

[swuzzlebubble]

He’d have to have more upside than S. Durdin

Hawks would probably be letting him go because they feel his upside isn't what they thought it was.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

If we do bring in DGB then I hope Vossy can bring out that aggression in him

 

[No1Suspect]

McCarthy vibes from SA when we drafted him, looked extremely promising but just never came on at all

 

[carlton_99]

The way I see it Haynes is replacing Marchbank and DGB (if it eventuates) would be replacing S.Durdin.

If nothing else eventuates with KPDs in the draft/trade going from Marchbank/S.Durdin to Haynes and DGB for 2025 seems like a decent upgrade at no cost.

Would be pretty happy with Weitering/Haynes/Young/DGB as our KPDs for 25'

 

[Stamos]

If we got DGB we could put him together with Young.
2 x -aggressions = +aggression

 

[TerryWallet]

Nobody should be getting their hopes up over DGB. He'll hopefully play more reserves games than Durdin in the Ressies.

Thats about it. Ya gotta play someone there.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

If we do bring in DGB then I hope Vossy can bring out that aggression on him

?

 

[The Bighouse]

It’s a hard grind if the intent isn’t there.
Intent to push yourself, contest and be an AFL footballer 100% of the time.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Maybe, if DGB works in the CBD, and at BCF on the W/E, the AFL and the new CEO can set some KPIs which will help him get busy in traffic, camp under the ball more and be a better Blue than he was Hawk and an SSP selection maybe . . .
