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

[SurreyBlue]

Voss doesn't trust him. Always had him on the bench. Better for the player to have a go elsewhere.

Definitely. Vossy has made it clear who he likes and dislikes. Wish the guys all the best and I have no doubt will do well.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

is that not what they would be aiming for?

Couldn't care less won't happen

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

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

 

[Billy S]

We need to stop over rating our players to think they are better than they are. That deal would be great for us

Agree, but as a club and supporters we also need to stop under rating some of our own as well. We give players away for peanuts it's an alarming trend. Owies value would have to be at pick 25-35 if Noble was worth what he was, 30 goal a year top 5 in pressure stats, it's not worth nothing, a smart club would have got something for Jack Martin. A smart club would not have signed Pitto, Young, Fantasia on multi year deals. We are not a smart club. This keeps happening.

 

[Opium]

Putting all your eggs in one basket with one pick having traded two current first rounders, a future first and current second draft pick is extremely risky imo.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

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

If you think the top 5 or so are above the next 15 or so, it will be our last chance for a while to play in this part of the draft, unless a contracted gun wants out.

Why don't you trust it?

Loves Fantasia, that is for sure

 

[BlueTongue]

It seems like a pretty good deal for me. We have actively told Matt Kennedy that he won't get much on ball time and he'd get even less with pick 3, Ben Campo and Cooper Lord trying to get in there. Unfortunately Carroll doesn't hold much value.

Couldn't understand Kennedy going to the Tigers though to fight with Taranto, Hopper and Prestua for slow midfielder time

Time will tell.

12 & 14 alone are worth more in points than 3. Losing Carrol & Owies for nothing (no contract) as well as Kennedy (under contract) for a single pick three would be the most epic of fails.

 

[BlueTongue]

Loves Fantasia, that is for sure

Much to my disgust.

very and you better get the pick right

 

[Opium]

Screw this one selection and it's a long road back. Not to mention the pressure on the kid.

I think the top 5 is, marginally better than the next 10

What I don't like is us being linked to O'Sullivan with a top 3 pick

 

[Billy S]

Not excited about trading 12 and 14, get two cracks.
Tauru + Hannaford/Berry.
Draper is sensational but I don't trust these lunatics like Austin, they'd probably pick O'Sullivan.
Also won't be so smart if/when Draper wants to go home in 2 or 3 years.
Fill two glaring weaknesses, developing them will be easier in that they will be forced to play them sooner or later. Not something we are very good developing our players with such a timid/insane match selection committee

 

[TENACIOUS]

It’s “ you’re “

 

[Stamos]

12 & 14 alone are worth more in points than 3.

The points values are broken, which is why they’re being changed

 

[katmanblue]

I’m just wondering where the appropriate thread is for expressing how much I love the return of Eric Pascoe?

There's a Patreon link somewhere. Pretty sure.

So if we got someone else, you'd be fine with it?

Austin hasn't picked in this range before, and Wright is on board now. You're usually so pro-everybody at the club, wouldn't you just trust the so called experts on this?

Can I just ask what Nick Austin has done to deserve being called a lunatic?

Same,Biggest chance of busting in that top 5. O'Sullivan imo, injury history, kicking questionable, is a very good mark though, would much rather Hannaford or Berry

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Yes because Bailey Smith plays in a position of need and is younger, makes us significantly and immediately better

So you want to draft a guy with his heart set on playing for another club? interesting I suppose

 

[Just Kreuzing]

So you want to draft a guy with his heart set on playing for another club? interesting I suppose

With 2 other concerns as well…

 

[Arr0w]

So if we got someone else, you'd be fine with it?

Given this crop, I'd feel more comfortable taking 12 and 14

Austin hasn't picked in this range before, and Wright is on board now. You're usually so pro-everybody at the club, wouldn't you just trust the so called experts on this?

Never been overly optimistic or pessimistic

 

[agro]

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

Prefer Graham Wright’s intel at this pick rather than Austin’s.

this . I sincerely hope the club knows what they're doing. Even deep draft is not the time to be taking this risk.

 

[Accidental genius]

I hear and understand the counter arguments but to me it seems risky to lose two picks (12/14) for a single pick (3).

Picks 12/14 are still first rounders. There’s got to be some quality there and you get 2 players…not quite halving the risk but much better odds you’d think with a single pick…granted it’s pick 3.
