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

[Arr0w]

I have my reserations with Jack playing KPD, don't think he is athletic enough on the bigger, quicker forwards, but i dont mind the experiment, so hopefully we trial it over the preseason rather than locking it in

More importantly, I hope we still draft a KPD

 

[carlton_99]

What if we get pick 32 and 45 for Kemp from St Kilda and then package 32, 45 and 44 (for Kennedy) to GWS for pick 15?
- values Kemp at about pick 20 which I think is reasonable (we aren’t getting anywhere near pick 7 or 8)
- gets us in the range of Berry, Hottom or Trainor

Why would GWS give up 15 for those picks?

They don't need points to match an academy player.

I was there. happiest year of my life. grew up a diesel fan

Haha what's it like to be happy?

 

[Wickzki]

I wonder if his brother Ben approves?

We could have traded for Dan Houston but decided to package up 12 and 14 in the most even draft evahhhhh and move Jack backwards when everyone knows he wants to be our starting ruckman.

Nothing gets past this defence either.

I'm the unaccountable half back who gets forward of the ball to try to get a goal, then points and yells at the other back flankers for not covering my man.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Two fringe players, a future pick and pick 36

This year's F1 they traded was pick 9
Next years is a fair chance to be a better pick..

 

[GT619]

this was the first season Kennedy has ever played more than 17 games.

The previous 6 years at Carlton he played a total of 75 games, so under 12 a year.

if it's the dogs than I'm ok with it any other club would be different. I'll be cheering him on

Gold Coast at 13 then?

 

[Stamos]

Gold Coast at 13 then?

Port got it for Houston

 

[BigFrizz36]

No one wants Fantasia

Fantasia has nothing to do with whether we keep Kennedy or not. Completely different positions. If anything Hewett, the emergence of Lord and the acquisition of Ben Camporeale is the reason that Kennedy would not see much on ball time.

Half Paul Bower half Bret Thornton. You angry emu.

 

[Soapy V]

Lemmey may not be ready yet and can't be expecting McMahon to play many senior games next year if he gets picked up. Unless Saints offer a player we need or a very good pick I'm keeping Kemp.

I'm different. Lemmey will have his third pre season. It's now or never. McMahon is mature enough to play straight away if good enough

 

[GT619]

Haha what's it like to be happy?

it's like being born all over again

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

JSOS will be playing CHB in 2025

I love that we think enough of JSOS to give him an important and challenging role and back him in.

That’s what I’d be hoping for, though I’d probably accept anything up to early/mid 20s.

I guess we will see but I would like Kemp on the list unless we get a great offer. He is young, versatile and has plenty of development left in him.

Man, some powerful flashbacks there.

Aimlessly running up the ground before randomly flicking a handball out to a stationary teammate.

He could become our Waterman...just needs time and consistency of position

Does Paul Bower hold the record for # of times being a late out?

 

[Mondyboy]

I bet McMahon—who to be clear has deficiencies, second efforts being one of them—would have played in the last couple of rounds of last year if he was on the list.

The top 5 in most drafts far exceed the rest...even in good years. You may get a very good player lower down, but these days, you'll generally get a jet in the top 5 (unless you really heck it up - whch we've never done before )

 

[Stickitupthem]

Said to the wife pinch I can’t believe it
Feeling like the Carlton of old everyone talking about us now we are relevant

 

[BlueSuede]

I'm with you there. My worry with Lemmey was that he was going to get stuck behind Charlie and Harry as a forward. However there is a position right open for him as a KPD. If he wants to grab that with both hands, it is his for the taking. May not get a better chance than this year.
