Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII - 'Loopy' Gone Off The Rails

[Michael Jezz]

If that’s the final deal, Pies with the highway robbery.

I would prefer the draft risk inherent in pick 14(travaglia, berry) + possibility of anextra 100games the extra 600k of cap space for Dekonig

Rather than 100games from a high end half back blanker

If Houston played in a position of need KPD, Mid- I may think differently

 

[Juddrockz]

Sam Edmond the only one all along suggesting us ? Doubt we were ever pushing it..

RoyalBlues was also onboard the Houston train. He dropped a bomb last night.

Imagine how difficult it would be being a Gold Coast Suns ITK and delivering trade news to their supporters?

Only a handful they have to appease or not, their problem is their supporters have zero idea which permeates through the entire club

How did GWS turn out so right, yet that dumpster fire of a club further north turned out into a feeder club for the big clubs (Bowes + 7 to cats and now this)

Truly baffling.

Giants were always comfortable to trade out their not quite star midfielders when they were at their most valuable (Shiel, Treloar, Taranto, Hopper etc) and bring in the next lot of top liners.

Suns tried to keep everyone by paying overs and then had to fire sale them when their cap was in trouble (Bowes, Lukosios etc) .

Austin’s been clear all along with what he wants to do,Houston was never a priority and glad that he stuck to his guns.

2 picks and the Campo boys plus the boys we blooded this year and Jsos and Doc back will improve us next year and beyond.

Get the feeling that internally at the club Vossy won’t be happy with this outcome. will be throwing his toys out of the cot!? He wanted Houston

For me it isn’t even about wanting Houston anymore, I just would be genuinely mad if that feeder of a club folds this hard once again.

Just concentrating on the Port part for this moment:

Power get P13, P29 & Lukosius and lose F1st & Houston.
Hmmmm - done like a dinner PA, and well done on asking for 2 firsts.

 

[SirSanchez]

Exactly, makes him a 10X better player than Kennedy!

 

[SolGoodman]

Also, again, if that is the final deal, we must’ve really had very little interest in Houston.

We could’ve matched or outdone that any day of the week.

Fascinating viewing.

They must rate Lukosius very highly

 

[DEliades]

Royal Blues has been dropping bombs every year and none come to fruition.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Travaglia + Berry
Campo Twins

Sign TDK
Chuck the chequebook at SDK end of 2025

Pick up Cody Walker in 2026

Win the next 3 flags

 

[Sam The Doc]

Suns dropped him a few times from memory, so kind of no need to offer too much?

The issue is Port and GC didn’t want Owies or Kennedy.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Hasn't got a strike rate yet?

From speaking to a current Power player… Vossy had Houston lined up from a while back. Can’t see how Vossy wouldn’t be spewing at how it has panned out, rightly or wrongly - should a coach be doing the list mangers job?

No.

Haven't seen the full trade so there might be some more pick swaps. But Lukosius is still a very good footballer, GC is a basketcase so I don't really read much into it him being dropped. They made him play forward and back? So what is he? There is no consistency in that system for him unlike they just put Rowell and Anderson in the mids and let them do their thing.

 

[Aphrodite]

Hang on. Didn't Ralph say he will go to Carlton? Didn't Twomey say today Carlton back in hunt?

Hmmmm

They are all full of Soapy.

See it more like
Power get P13, P29 & Lukosius and lose F1st & Houston.

Were always trading their F1st for Luko.

I see Port doing ok out of this. They didn't want to lose Houston, but get a fair return.

He drops party poppers

 

[raymagoo]

Yeah reckon there's quite a few who've probably improved a lot into their late twenties. How old was Dane Swan when he jumped up a level?

Ed Curnow, Heath Scotland

 

[Soapy V]

They are all full of Soapy.

I think I owe a couple of people some good Scotch. They have been spot on with info they have given me this trade period. Certainly much better than the media

Completely agree he’s not the LM but he’d still be fuming that his wishes weren’t heard re getting Houston. You’d think coaches have some input but not final decision. Which has clearly been the case here.
There will be pressure on picks 12 & 14 then for Austin! Haha!

Agreed but that's what I mean, they have done their best to mess him up...
