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

[Bletch]

The stoopid theatrics of this. Annoying.

 

[Faz 2000]

I don’t really mind who we get at 3, so long as they’re a transformative generational talent that becomes that standout player of their draft and perhaps the decade.

 

[thegreatbeast]

What ever happened to that salary dump player we would be picking up? Did that get squashed? Or is it still a chance to happen, if it isn't, who was it?

 

[no. 4]

Cal Twomey mentioned 4 names on trade radio just before - Jagga, Finn, Draper and Lalor

I think most people on here would agree it's definitely one of those four. I don't claim to be an expert but my order of preference would be:
1. Jagga Smith.
2. Sid Draper.
3. Finn O'Sullivan.
4. Sam Lalor.
I say this based off a few highlights packages so take this with a grain of salt.

 

[Stickitupthem]

Isn’t it great curly done the damage early now get the popcorn out and watch them scramble

 

[CeeDee88]

Finn O'Sullivan is definitely who the blues are looking at I was just told (Happy for Mod to message and ask source)

Said he may be gone by 3 though

 

[Robbo's my hero]

The stoopid theatrics of this. Annoying.

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Have we set up some support structures for #WalshistheGOAT when we don't get a pick in the Berry range?

 

[GT619]

all theatre

 

[LanceRomance]

Time for the entire site to start melting down

Why?

Yeah strongly linked because he's Walsh's second cousin or something...

Austin is not going to give a stuff about that... he will pick the best player for us. If that happens to be FOS, then welcome to the Blues, if not then it'll most likely be one of Draper, Smith or Lalor.

My gut feel is Tigers take Lalor, North take FOS and we'll take Draper.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Why?

Always does when deadline is near

 

[BigFrizz36]

Along with Cody who will be the same in 2026.

 

[Bletch]

Richard III. Pick 3. Hmmm, cryptic clue!

 

[marcmurphy3]

Are we sure we aren't just linked to FOS because he's Walsh's cousin?

I mean up until last week we wouldn't have thought about holding a pick high enough. Not sure how enough time has passed to be strongly linked to anyone. I'm sure the recruiters have opinions but it's not where the majority of work would have been done.

And we certainly wouldn't have traded up specifically for a player that is 50-50 to be there.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Where is the poster formerly known as Glicksy?

Have we signed Trac yet?

Salary Dump…..

 

[TENACIOUS]

How about this, as the body of a deal?

Geelong: Smith
Saints: Kemp
Dogs: Kennedy & O’Halloran & F2 (Cats)
Blues: Pick 17
GWS: Pick 32

Blues: Pick 17
GWS: Pick 32

You’ve got 30 minutes to get to Marvel and sort it

 

[Jimmae]

Absolutely not, or are we getting 17 & 32? Probably still a no.

 

[vwblue]

Hind brought him in not stringer. Stringer is also good mates with Saad, so by association saad is also tarnished.

You’d be surprised who current afl players have as friends or friends of friends.

You’d be mortified to learn who some of our club champions of a by gone era, not so long ago, used to hang out with.

Each to their own tho.

You sure it was Hinds mate? Maybe Hind let Stringer bring some of his mates in on his tickets. As you said “mates of mates”

Good for us. Can't see Dogs doing that.

True. We've literally held the pick for a day and they were saying this yesterday... they wouldn't know shit and I reckon purely basing it off his relationship with Walsh...

They are second cousins I think it just makes the story more sexier in the media, no way that’s the reason we draft Finn is because they are cousins

 

[NavySteel]

The theatrics are a bit silly tbh

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

We would want FOS for his dynamism. Elite overhead for his size and side steps like Bont. Will impact our team massively. I just don’t think he’s there at three which makes the decision to get three rather confusing.

Draper has speed but not the ball use.

Lalor has the power but durability question marks.
