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

[Canyouhearthedrums]

A lot of people talking about impact of Tassie drafts but I thought they had tweeked the system to force them to trade some of the trade concessions for established players? If so, it’s arguably more of an opportunity to top up via draft than an ordinary year.

 

[gbatman]

I am not sure pick 3 is better than 12 and 14. We aren't one or two players away from a premiership we are 4 or 5. Pick 3 would have more security but if we draft well, two really good players that fit into our team with 12 and 14 is a better result. It the draft is so good I'm not sure this is the best result. Hope we get it right.

 

[carlton_99]

wtf. Surely West Coast get more than 12 and 14?

Owies/Carroll potentially if it happens but they are close to worthless tbh

 

[Blue By Blood]

Draper looks great

We need a guy who plays with his socks up. I’m on the Draper train if we trade up. Then Lalor.

Would prefer we go to the draft with 12 & 14 though.

 

[Rustica]

I'm surprised we are in contention for pick 3 with what we're offering.

I wouldn't be shocked if we head to the draft with 12 + 14

I mean 12 + 14 and Carroll + Owies, Id even chuck in Kennedy, isnt anything to bulk at

Allows the Eagles to get Baker and have a pick in the top 15 still

WC need a mid range pick for Richmond deal. With 2 picks they can still stay in the 1st round and get a player that wants to go to them and can play!

A true footballer style

According to The Age, the Tasmanian club is expected to be handed four to five first-round priority picks for the 2027, 2028 and 2029 drafts, with two of those selections from each draft required to be traded to gain experienced talent.

If the club is unable to trade one of those selections to attain players, that selection will be carried into the following year's draft.

I think we get pick 3 now. Odds shortening considerably. Reckon it will be done by tomorrow morning.

Is there a third club involved ? Thanks Eric for the tid bits !

Makes the Eagles more competitive and gives them much needed depth

I think we are a healthy list away from the pointy end. Whether it was Houston or Pick 3, it would have marginal impact

What do you think regarding 3 vs 12/14

You’re on fire arrow

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Am I the only one who thinks Carroll is worth holding on too?
Smooth mover, will get better…would be a mistake to let him go for peanuts imo.

Yes. But that’s all I’m prepared to say

 

[Arr0w]

If that was the deal and I was a neutral, don't like the deal for either club

 

[ESKIE]

Yes. But that’s all I’m prepared to say

Of course, cheers !

Ok the thick plottens !

 

[SurreyBlue]

I’ll be p1$$3d if we lose 12 & 14 just for 3. I hope Austin feels the same way.

 

[Its an amigo!]

Yes. But that’s all I’m prepared to say

Richmond , I'm guessing. With Baker going to WC.

, Picks 12&24

Richmond - Matt Kennedy, Pick 14

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

What are we thinking the owies deal will net us?

List spot, junk pick.

 

[Soapy V]

Don’t believe the reports we are fixed on a certain player for pick 3 if we get it.

We aren’t close to deciding who. Just that Austin and co believe there will be 2-3 very special options at that number

 

[ESKIE]

Carlton - Pick 3, Pick 26, Pick 63

WC - Jack Carroll, Liam Baker, Picks 12&24

Richmond - Matt Kennedy, Pick 14

Looks good pooh boy !

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Yes. But that’s all I’m prepared to say

Say no more if it’s the Tigers…

 

[Stamos]

Am I the only one who thinks Carroll is worth holding on too?

I like him, and wouldn't want to lose him for nothing.
The problem is how tight we are for list spots. Maybe if we trade up for 3 we might draft 1 less and keep him, but I think we're probably still too tight.
