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

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Perhaps he should have been more critical of his brother's behaviour.

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.

I'm not advocating for trading Kemp. I'd keep him. Can play

 

[Mondyboy]

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

Unlikely this year. Unless we get something decent back for Kennedy.

 

[carlton_99]

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.

Probably but I'm hoping we aren't in a situation again where we can barely name emergencies as everyone is out injured

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Austin's trade period

 

[BIuebagger]

Sorry if I’ve missed, trying to trawl through pages but any more word on Kennedys outgoing to Dogs? Also have ITKs said anything else about this Kemp rumour?

 

[Mondyboy]

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.

He was terrible when they tried him there last year. But we need to decide what he is. If he’s a forward, then fine, he needs to play there all year and ready if either H or Charles are injured.

Probably but I'm hoping we aren't in a situation again where we can barely name emergencies as everyone is out injured

Agreed.

is not big enough, strong enough or good enough to be a CHB in a top 4 side. Certainly has be concerned if he’s best 22.

 

[Prem17]

Don't get me wrong, JSOS is a solid player, but he's no more our' answer at CHB than he is our' 2nd ruckman.
If Gov hasn't cut it as a KPD then there's no logic to suggest that JSOS will.
Play him forward.

 

[Stickitupthem]

trade 3 for Melbournes 5 and 9 lol

If he got that from Melbourne I would personally build a statue fir him

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Jack Silvagni is not big enough, strong enough or good enough to be a CHB in a top 4 side. Certainly has be concerned if he’s best 22.

He's big enough and he's strong enough and he's good enough. Only issue is whether he is quick enough. He's deceptively strong and rarely beaten one on one. Super smart reader of the play too.

 

[Inspector Closseau]

Maybe SOS wants to sever the connection and is really after Jack?

I don't think we're done yet.

Tomorrow should be riveting.

Well played CFC!! - like Carlton of old.

 

[Stickitupthem]

Is SOS positioning for Macrae or Kennedy

Ex gws Kennedy of course he can’t let go

 

[T2B_]

I'd disagree on all counts. He is deceptively strong for his frame, seen it even when he was young in his early days with us. Big enough - 194cm, 90+kg. Good enough, well I think he'll surprise. I back him to go at it with Cripps like focus and intent and we already know he's got good footy IQ to go with his desperation.

 

[Uncle Fester]

Man, some powerful flashbacks there.

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

karl norman anyone...... i really thought he could have been a player,..... i know i know

We don't need him to be a star, just a disciplined backline scrapper

He actually had a lot of talent. Clearly was focused on other things.

 

[windows1]

JSOS will be playing CHB in 2025

Only took them 8 years to figure it out

 

[Stickitupthem]

Just read sos after kemp
In a strong draft is take top 10 pick and run

 

[Bradschi]

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.

[BlueJet]

I've always felt that JSOS was a bit of a tweener but you know that he'll compete no matter where he plays so he deserves a crack down back.

I would love to know Austin's thoughts on his ideal defensive setup because he's seemed to have KPD well down his list of priorities & we now have minimal assets to trade for or draft a bluechip prospect this year or next.

This is what his Father was good at. And in turn, it made him a star.

He will make it work. I have no doubt about that. He has that Silvagni spirit that doesn't like to lose. He will scrap and fight till he wins the contest. He is exactly what you want as a backman.

 

[El Topo]

Hopefully to play a more attacking game, he's wasting his best years rn as a stopper
