Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[The Bighouse]

You know once SOS drafts a player he is done with them, his not the one who develops and coaches them

Doesn’t have a great track record on selecting players, especially midfielders.

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

It’s all BS. Listening to Trade Radio, apparently all deals have ‘stalled’.

That’s code for…it’s too early guys, let’s hold off until 6PM and we’ll then smash all these deals out in the last 60 mins before the deadline…

There will literally be 10+ deals all lodged in the last hour.

Reminds of that song in The Wedding Singer, It was all just BS... Put a bullet in my head... yada yada yada.

 

[GoBlues!]

I wanted all three Silvagni boys to make it.

Jack = SOSOS (son of SOS)
Ben = BOSOSOS (brother of)
Tom = OBOSOSOS (other brother of)

Sounds like Tom needs to lose weight...

 

[Robertio]

The disrespect and abuse he cops on here is disgusting!!

He's not on our side at the moment, if he comes home we all love him.

 

[RPCB]

Time for a siesta maybe. Wake me up when something happens zzzz

Andrew Dillon will tell you when he damn well feels like it.

SOS drafted Kemp with pick 17. 4 years of development and now starting 22. Now worth a F2 to him. Puzzling…

This is interesting logic. We drafted Paddy Dow at 3 and traded him for peanuts … using the logic above, we should have demanded at least pick 3

 

[Juddernaut08]

What - we could get 25 for Kennedy?

it will be at least till 6.20 when they can break something on channel 9 news during sport with their connection to SEN

One is starting 22 the other was not.

The difference may be though that Kemp is on the rise, whether Dow was seen as stagnating or at least nowhere near living up to his perceived potential.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Can't see a way that Saints are actually serious about securing Kemp, at least this year, knowing full well, according to SOS' own rules, if you go after a contracted player, you gotta pay up.

Follows the Dodo book of negotiating:

• If you go after our contracted player, you pay up
• If we go after your player and you don't take our insulting opening offer, you're arrogant and hard to deal with

This is T2B at the end of trade period...

 

[LanceRomance]

Kemp would cost two okish picks.

1 to break the contract and 1 for the player imo.

Either that or something decent for us.

Paddy wasn’t first 22

Kemp is, hence the difference

 

[BIuebagger]

If anything, Kemp’s value has grown and not come close to being depreciated this year. I think if it were to somehow happen, a pick in the mid 20’s (24-26) is about right for him.
SOS won’t do that though.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

People bang on about over-valuing players...were more often guilty of the opposite. Matty can play a bit.

Neal Bullen went for a second without a raised eyebrow.

Everyone knew Bullen was leaving months out. The Dees even said bye to him on their banner. The deal for 28 was sorted well before trade period began.

Kemp is a last minute throw at the dart board for a required and contracted player.

I agree that Kennedy would be over valued at 25. Mid 30s is where he sits.

 

[charred_fate]

Hmm.. well Kemp was omitted through the year. Let’s not forget we had a truck load of injuries as well. Would he have played late in the season with a reasonable injury list? Who knows?

In any case, the logic applied was that simply being in the system for a few years was reason enough to expect an upgrade. That in itself makes no sense.

I think people over value draft picks wayyy too much when you look at the odds of later draft choices making it even as far as Kemp has already and will continue to do

Really doesn't matter when ANB trade was organised. He's a 28 year old good ordinary footballer.

If the market sets a price, why should we readily accept, or at least expect less for a contracted 27 yo MK?
