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

[DangerousD]

Luko has 2yrs to go on his current contract, which was reported at $1M per season (backended).

They start again after a trade, so not sure PTA will be paying the same moving forward (though with the salary cap increases these figures are not out of scope for such payments to be the norm for a host of players per squad).

What do you mean they start again after a trade? Contracts dont start again.

Don't get the Albert Proud humour when he served 5 years for attempted murder of his girlfriend......

I think a good point for Finn is that he has a viable second position as a high half forward with his leap, agility and overhead marking skills. That’ll get him games early as he builds his body to be ready for the engine room.

Yep agree on this.

I don’t think there’s a bad choice at 3 tbh, but FOS plays round 1 in that cottrell high hf role and immediately improves us.

He’s one of those guys that gets the ball and good things happen.

any of him Draper, Lalor and I’m a happy man should pick 3 end up in our hands

 

[Wickzki]

And now for our next trick

 

[skadoosh]

All is not as it seems. Pick 1 is a chance.

Spoken in the true RB lilt. Poetic.

What do you think regarding 3 vs 12/14

Take the two picks, or we will have given up pick 12, F1,F2, pick 34 (for Lions F2) and pick 14 as well to just get one kid in the end!!! Not much pressure on the kid we take at pick 3 is there?!! Austin will also come in for his fair share if the kid is a bust, whereas with two kids the chances are at least one makes it........leave pick 3 alone Austin!!!

Austin will also come in for his fair share if the kid is a bust, whereas with two kids the chances are at least one makes it........leave pick 3 alone Austin!!!

Alternatively he can go all in on an All Australian

 

[DangerousD]

Giving 2 first rounders for Houston would’ve been dumb af. That’s what it would’ve taken to get him

Why would it have taken us 2 first rounders when the reported deal has the Pies giving up one?

No we won't.

Our F1 and F2 were used to get 14. You can't count both sets of picks.

If we gave up 12 + 14 for 3 our total net change would be:
IN: 3 + F2 (Lions)
OUT: 12, 34, F1 (Blues) and F2 (Blues)

If you assume the F2s essentially cancel out then it is 12, F1 and 34 for 3.

 

[DangerousD]

Extra $2m in SC from the next year. Williams dropping off from big money. Cerra won't be huge and neither will be Saad.

TDK is the big one but now it will be a lot easier.

Williams dropping off big $$$?

 

[Kruezing]

Send pick 3 to port for Houston and butters with a late first coming back …

 

[HereComesJuddy]

We are getting Albert Proud

Take it to the “prison”

 

[Bletch]

No we won't.

Our F1 and F2 were used to get 14. You can't count both sets of picks.

If we gave up 12 + 14 for 3 our total net change would be:
IN: 3 + F2 (Lions)
OUT: 12, 34, F1 (Blues) and F2 (Blues)

If you assume the F2s essentially cancel out then it is 12, F1 and 34 for 3.

A good deal as long as we make the 8 next year. A very good deal if we're top 4.

Pick# 13 but we take RATKINS.

 

[carlton_99]

I'm kind of hoping if it happens there are some players involved and we end up with another usable pick in this draft so we can take two on top of the Campos. Probably unrealistic however

Im Salary Dump Player and so is my Wife!

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

i really dont wanna get my hopes up about pick 3 but these bluemours are suggesting otherwise.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Is it? That's a lot of very good players, not many high picks would fare much better I'd imagine.

Agreed. Especially on Walter. Fast forward 2 or 3 years he'll be a gun. Finn Callaghan is a gun already.

 

[GT619]

And now for our next trick

 

[DangerousD]

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?

Not really true, if Walker is top 5 rated.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Not really true, if Walker is top 5 rated.

Walker is a freak of nature. He'll almost certainly go top 5 if not just a flat out lock for pick 1.

 

[Gingerbread man]

I haven't been following too much, but this year is supposed to be a super draft which goes pretty deep - so I don't understand why we would go for #3, whilst 12 & 14 will give us a really good chance with getting decent players anyway

Just for the record pick 3 in the OG super draft was Chris Judd

 

[Blue Reaper]

What a ride over the past 30 pages!

I just need to hear from ericpascoe that #3 is done and I’m sleeping sweetly.
