Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

I don’t normally rate what Brereton says but I think he nails this about the draft.

Having a pick inside the top 3 can get you a player you can build a side around perhaps an all time great,having a pick around pick 12 gets you a good player.

What not have the opportunity in getting another Bont/Cripps instead of a Bruhn/Gibcus

Big difference.

I’m rapt with the trades we’ve made to get pick 3 but using cripps as an argument for having pick 3 instead of 12 and 14 is pretty flawed. If we’d made the same trades in cripps’ draft year, we wouldn’t have him.

If Kemp is their target for Battle replacement then I wonder how big a war chest they're offering him.

They've offered some random young players big.coin (not just stars like Weiters or Mac Andrew) that they're looking as desperate ss North Melbourne were

What’s Austin got left in the tank? Just extract what he can for Kennedy then shut shop?
Interesting day Tommoz I reckon

 

[T2B_]

Shout out C4[2]Yo`DooR !

Done a fantastic job this trade period

Yep, C4[2]Yo`DooR has really done us Albert Proud this trade period

 

[Sickblue]

We don't really have any other picks. Can't trade next years picks because we're already down a F1.

So can’t trade F3?

 

[ferrisb]

I watched JSOS in pre season and he was flying. Alot quicker than people think.

On the Pratts' private plane?

 

[9874123]

So can’t trade F3?

Nope, rules are you can only trade F2,3,4 etc. if you hold a F1. The reverse is true too

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Matt Kennedy gone
Matt Owies gone

Matt Carroll shitting his daks right now

Matt Cottrell now the supreme Matthew.

Jack Carroll perhaps the biggest sigh of relief

 

[Aphrodite]

Well if Cleary is right.

Hopefully that means we have Landed Macrae for P47 (will come in to roughly 40). Because we aren’t offering much else.

Then it’s just the Kemp deal to work on

 

[ctwenty1]

Sad to see Kennedy go. Loved the way he played and he always gave it his all, but we have too many similar players.

Can't wait til 6:58 tomorrow to see the details of the trade.

Hopefully the trade is done sooner

Lol, what Kemp deal?

 

[The Bighouse]

We can expect a lot more of this from SOS over the next few years. Thankfully he's the LM at a rabble club & I can't see any players wanting to move across.

We’ll have players underneath our top tier that will get tempting offers, and likely in the case of BK, quite a bit overs when that money is covering a player that has left a club that had substantial allocated funds for a positional type of player (Battle).

Combined with SOS’s MO of mining his previous draftees, we can expect a few knocks on the door, however the numbers remaining from his tenure (not on L/T contracts) are lessening vs the Austin crew.

Reckon we do some pick swapping once the player trade period is over.

Richmond just have a ridiculous amount of early picks

 

[bradfisher14]

I love it when the oppo supporters come visit the greatest thread on bigfooty. It means we've done something good.

 

[Mondyboy]

While I love Pommy, I’ll be shocked if we get 25 for Kennedy. I’m not shocked if North use 25 on Caleb, but I can’t see it being part of a Kennedy deal. There’s a chance we get 35 with fingers crossed that the bid for Campo comes after that. Not sure Austin would take 48, although I think that’s Kennedy’s realistic value. (Don’t @ me).

 

[Wickzki]

Apparently both Membrey and Tomlinson to Collingwood DFA

 

[Aphrodite]

Relax.

We aren’t the Eagles

No clue.

It will either be 32 or 45. Full hand of future picks aswell.

SOS will probably try rip you. That will be fun to watch until 7:30

Reeks of success and the plan all along

Pick in 20s reasonable for Kennedy?

Take it and run imo

 

[Aphrodite]

Last minute grab for kemp who is contracted & required for it to be considered it would need to be one hell of an offer & why would anyone want to go to st kilda lol

Kudos if it is. Even a mediocre season by both boosts their chances a lot.

 

[no fate]

I have a horrible feeling we're all going to be disappointed with the Kennedy trade.

Has Austin ever got anything of significant value back for any of the players we've lost, that were getting a game at that time? Obtained virtually nothing for any of SPS, Stocker, Setterfield, Dow, Martin, Owies. Yeah most of those may be ordinary types most of the time, but so is John Noble

. Kennedy is a better player, but we've rather disrespectfully forced him out.

I honestly think 25 would be a fair trade, just can't see us negotiating well enough to get that. I hope to be proven wrong on this point. Let's see.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Membrey, sure.

Tomlinson is not a key, and if that's what they play him as he'll be a liability.

If we're judging our pick 3 trade based on the WC reaction fair to say we've finished a little way in front.



Calling it the worst ever Eagles trade.

I’m judging the trade solely from this post from the eagles board:

“we already got two F1sts today. Both of carltons f1sts in our ass”

 

[HarryFlashman]

With my tin foil hat freshly polished & firmly on…

It’s interesting that SOS thought it worthwhile to chase Kemp - he’s not about to kick tires just for fun & 100% he gets very good info on the mood/feeling of the players & there relationship with Voss.

Has been noted by a few that Kemp has not been a favorite & has not been well managed/developed.

Same said about Kennedy too.

100% do not want to see him go, it is an interesting development that he’s had a crack thou, pleasing that they see him as worth taking as well.
