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

Reckon pies have lost focus on all their other supposed trades for the Houston deal and will end up stuffing it up big time by Wednesday? Seems that way... Even if they get pick 13, doesn't seem like that and Richards will get the Houston deal done...

So 7 forwards? Should help our defence out...

6 on the field, 1 on the bench...

 

[marcmurphy3]

Subjective. The issue is that is a lot of players on the list that can play one role

Plus I reckon the club goes back to playing more half forward types who put on pressure but can also push up the ground.

Playing to many pure forward pocket types (motlop,owies,durdin) rarely works well for us. In 2023 our form turned when we reverted from that approach and this year we were forced to go back to it due to injuries and it didnt look any better.

He'll want to move now. It's not been spoken about as much but he's on well unders at Port. Signed the deal the year before his first AA when he was just a good solid player. This is his chance to get a big contract. No guarantee he gets that next year given his age.

This - he wants to return to Melbourne but also wants more $

 

[yibbida]

Not sure what you’re basing Fog already peaking on?

He has been in the AFL system for 8 seasons. Name a player that has improved significantly after 26.

 

[yibbida]

Au contraire

I was looking at the averages table. I stand corrected.

 

[Benaly28]

I really like the combination of a fit Motlop Moir Williams & Fogarty. All different

And have a bit of X factor between them.

With enough buyers in the market for pick 13, it looks like they're waiting to see who blinks first, and will probably get sweetened offers by the clubs still wanting it by Wednesday. But it is true they've declined some really good offers in ours and Dees (if the reports are accurate).

I'm not sure the offers can get any better. Clubs can't give much more. I feel it's more GC not wanting to mess up the noble deal which is ridiculous considering he's a fringe player and they have other currency to get it done.

North offering a F1 + more for 13. GCS what are you waiting for!

Gold Coast to today decide whether it pulls the pin on a complex multi-club trade for pick 13

Gold Coast will today decide whether it pulls the pin on a complex multi-club, multi-player trade.

Demons have officially got pick 9 now

They have to be the dumbest club at the trade table...

North offering F1 for 13 is borderline irresponsible if that's true.

 

[Bletch]

There is also Docherty who could rotate with Elijah
Then do we play Kemp or Jack as an extra tall?

I like this. Doc could well do the role that Owies did this year. Is a good kick at goal, better runner, better defensively.

So if NM get pick 13, what more do they offer up for Houston?

Pick 13 and 25? Future first?

If it's pick 13 and future first, Port will totally win that deal.

Edit: they're offering F1..... So not an option!

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Do they have any very highly rated academy or F/S player coming next year??

 

[ctwenty1]

North offering F1 for 13 is borderline irresponsible if that's true.

especially if you add in "plus more"

 

[Bletch]

I understand it from our POV, a pick even in the 60s will come in and we can use it on the Campo boys

But if that club and Owies agree to a contract, he could get their as a DFA, supposedly

That club could then trade that pick for futures, etc

Depends on the position of the club I guess. It's likely there are a bunch of clubs that have picks that they already know they won't use. And then it's playing nice in the ballpark.

You'd think they need to offload F1 to get 13 in which case getting 13 alone (for such a high price) makes no sense.

They'll need to offer a clearly better deal as Dan doesn't want to go there.

North can offer a bunch of things better than any other team. I think they are in a strong position if Houston is willing to go there

 

[Blue_Fusion]

By all reports, Port were disgusted by our F1 + F2 offer for Houston...

Would take a mighty backflip to let him go for around that value...

 

[Bfevola]

So let me tel

North offering F1 for 13 is borderline irresponsible if that's true.

Dont worry the AFL will help them out with priority picks. They got in their position because they traded away all their established experienced players, but then the AFL came to their rescue due to their own desperate decisions.

I hope their newly drafted players leave them in future years.

 

[NavySteel]

Well pick 12 in a supposedly strong draft may change the pattern in the tea leaves...

 

[Sam The Doc]

Guess they would be telling us we are top 4 material.. Pick 14 or later + 32 or laterin a draft not like this year...
just need to use 12 or 14 if we are really keen.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Well pick 12 in a supposedly strong draft may change the pattern in the tea leaves...

Would change our pattern too... was "off the table" by all reports...

Adding 14 shouldn't change that.

Praying Melbourne traded for 9 to get Armstrong.
