Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[The Bighouse]

Maybe. But it would have to be better than 12 + 14.

Yep, and an about face for the move up. 12, 14 & 38 (maybe a swap with the Swans possible to get 19, 22 for 3 quality picks) vs 3, 38

Think I prefer the former. Only a swap with Richmond could enable a decent split of picks.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Any sort of agreement to not bid on a player would be draft tampering. Any lopsided deals would be heavily scrutinised by the afl for sure.
I’m sure we look to move 38 on, but I doubt we can really get it high enough to get above a bid for Ben with our remaining assets, and I don’t think we have the list spots to take another player anyway. I’d say we trade it into next year with maybe another minor pick coming back to us this year for points.

We can't trade next year's 3rd rounder unless we get one back right?

 

[KnaveyBlue]

I think we'd get a good deal from Tigers because having 1 & 3 would be good for them strategically

While I like the idea of splitting 3, if Richmond get 1 + 3 plus their later firsts they’ll be a real issue down the track.

 

[Juice030103]

Richmond blues pies north crows all winners for me


And hawks

 

[Blue Bloods]

Maybe some form of hand shake agreement between Bulldogs and Saints at the end there, that neither of them bid on Campo before our pick 38

I did think that at the time, can only hope.

 

[Vizsla]

Glad we kept Kemp

And he didn't want to move to the Saints?
Suggests there's some vague emotional attachment to Royal Pde?
Good on him.

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

I reckon North won trade week for what they’ve brought in vs the needs they have from a leadership perspective I think they’ve done a great job.
Richmond real close second for their rebuild then a few others like us the filth etc.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Think her grandfather played for them so it’s generational/long term damage/trauma you’re gonna have to erase

Her husband is a board member at Essendon.

 

[HBF]

SOS will 100% bid on Campo at #32, meaning we trade Kennedy for nothing.

Absolutely put your house on it I reckon

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Her husband is a board member at Essendon.

So it’s even worse than we all thought?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

So just to clarify - Lions have two picks (27 and 34) and * have two picks (28 and 31) before our pick. They will be absorbed in matching bids for Ashcroft and Kako I assume? So 38 will become 34?

No, because the bids for Ashcroft, Kako, Lombard, Marshall take up one spot each which pushes us back to 42, then Brisbane use two picks ahead of us to pay for theirs, and Essendon use two picks ahead of us to pay for Kako, which takes us back to 38 again.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Happy with the Kennedy trade. He is extremely slow and we needed to add speed this off season.

38 will with move up or go into next year to help with our NGAs.

Removing probably 450k also will go a long way towards grabbing a FA either next year or in 2026. It all adds up

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

No, because the bids for Ashcroft, Kako, Lombard, Marshall take up one spot each which pushes us back to 42, then Brisbane use two picks ahead of us to pay for theirs, and Essendon use two picks ahead of us to pay for Kako, which takes us back to 38 again.

There’s also the remote possibility that 10 teams ahead of us elect to pass in the second round

 

[Inspector Closseau]

he's been having a sauna.

We've got probably the the 6th best midfield in the comp. We've trade out our 3/4th best mid and we hope to recruit a kid.

WTF?

A big PLUS on getting us to #3 but such a waste to use it on a kid.

The window is NOW and we just ****ed it up.

Collingwood will go and get Petracca next year. - who he barracked for and they'll be able to afford him when Pendlebury and Sidebottom retire.

We lost the draft by not capitalising on #3.

My rant, my continuing despair.

I predict we'll finish 5 - 8 next year - if we're lucky.

Such a wasted opportunity.

95 will be the best memory I'll have (is there better?) - bring back the win at costs of Big Jack.

Going through the motions for a 30th year.

Wasted opportunity.

Epic melt

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

I highly doubt that we will waste 38 by letting it gets absorbed by a Campo bid.

Can’t we just absorb an extra pick in next years draft if we need?

 

[Soapy V]

Blues Tigers North have had great trade periods in my opinion

Pies are all in. Need a flag next year or in trouble

Saints Demons Essendon achieved nothing good and are in no man’s land

WOW!

 

[BringFevBack2021]

happy for Chugga, will be missed however

 

[Sam The Doc]

Now just need Kemp to have a big 2025 season!

 

[Bfevola]

What makes you say that? Passing in the second round in a strong draft seems unusual.

You sound like my dad.

But he doesn't use BigFooty. I think...

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Absolutely put your house on it I reckon

We will have to trade it out for a future pick on the night.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

It’s a joke.

There will be no teams that pass in the second round.

Think he may have had his fingers crossed when he said that.
