Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[Chookaradley]

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.

We aren't exactly flush with players who can play his role. His is young and can play at both ends of the ground. I'd rather keep him personally

 

[Coops93]

I think the Kennedy being contracted idea is undermined by the fact that we told him to look elsewhere.

Can't then say well he is contracted so you're going to have to up the price when you were the ones who told him to look.

That's the leverage clubs try to use when players request a trade/another club tries to target a player you'd not previously considered trading ala Kemp. Even then it doesn't always work.

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.

And walking through the curtains at Marvel to the pre-arranged contract signing table….

For a bag of chips, id give stringer a 1 yr deal to replace owies. He's actually not a bad guy in person from my chats with him. Always down at clip n climb Williamstown with his kids.

A few people I know that know him say this too.

Something’s off though because it seems clubs don’t want a bar of him.

 

[WalshYouLegend]

I wanted all three Silvagni boys to make it.

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

And don’t forget the newborn SOSOSOS (Charlie)

His workrate on and off the field I assume.

Thought the same - pretty damning for Stringer that no club interested (not even Essendon) ?

Stringer can **** off. Don't want that piece of shit anywhere near our club

 

[The Rhino]

I just didn't get a bad vibe at all from him. Seemed like a decent family man tbh.

If Kennedy & Kemp stay, we’d only be able to take pick 3, 2x Camporeales & Boyd.

Looks good to me! Add Haynes to the overall swag.

 

[gbatman]

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

Except at GWS.

I think the problem was less SOS, more direction from coaching, recruiting team as a whole and development due to culture and coaching. SOS only part of the process.

Is that including an assumption that S Durdin and M Carroll are retained?

I think Kennedy will end up getting done. But not Kempy, sos would have to up the offer substantially imo for that deal to get over the line

Can't then say well he is contracted so you're going to have to up the price when you were the ones who told him to look.

Nope, the nuance is important.

In his exit meeting, he said he wanted to play more midfield time. We couldn't guarantee that, so gave him permission to explore his options for more midfield time.

That in no way suggests that we wanted him gone or that we did not value him.

 

[TENACIOUS]

They are rookies, so only effect rookie list

 

[Wickzki]

After what's come out about GWS the last thing they can handle is a Jake Stringer PR disaster.

Not surprised.

 

[Big Delut]

They are rookies

From what I've read L Campo is likely to be as well

I also believe its a 3 year deal at the Dogs on reasonable coin versus remaining 1 year at Carlton on lower money.

 

[BlueTongue]

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

Paddy Dow was Out of contract awhen we traded him and the Club weren't asking much because he served us well, so we were helping him get midfield time elsewhere.

Quite different to a Best 22 player doesn't want to leave, is Under contract, playing in positions were we lack depth.

So very different logic really.

Says who? How do you know I don't know him?
Don't Carlton have a no dickhead policy? That rules out Stringer

Exactly, if the Kennedy deal falls over (which appears to be linked to McRae going to Saints) a desperate Austin may be forced to deal with SOS if he wants the extra list spot. I have a feeling SOS is acutely aware of this and being opportunistic. Personally I would prefer Fantasia is paid out and delisted over losing Kennedy or Kemp for unders
