Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[Blue_Fusion]

We actually have a good few that get info and are kind enough to share tid bits from time to time even if they know there’s going to be backlash.

Yep. All info appreciated... it's very volatile at this part of trade week, one minute a deal is on, the next its off again.

 

[Michael Jezz]

I can't see us getting a pick in the 20s in this deal - you saying a separate Kennedy deal?

One scenario was Richmond ontrading pick 26 as part of a Liam Baker 3 way. Not sure how we get the extra pick but we require it & Austin is clear with his objectives

Maybe Kennedy is involved with Tigers as well?

CARL
OUT -> 12 + 14 + Owies + Kennedy
IN -> 3 + 26 + 63

RICH
OUT -> 24 + Baker
IN -> 14 + Kennedy

WCE
OUT -> 3 + 26 + 63
IN -> 12 + 24 + Baker + Owies

 

[The Bighouse]

If Richmond came calling hard for 3, I’d be asking for 6 and their F1. Take it or leave it.

Won’t happen though

Think we want in on this draft. Pick 6 & 14..

CARL

RICH

IN -> 14 + Kennedy

WCE
OUT -> 3 + 26 + 63
IN -> 12 + 24 + Baker + Owies

I thought that too but on second though I feel like if Kennedy was part of it they would have mentioned him in the tweet like they did with Owies/Baker

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

Stop the merry go round I want to get off!

it's Tuesday morning

Pffffft
The proper time is 9.48 pm

They wouldn't know all the details...

There's been word that Kennedy has met with the Tigers, so potentially, he could be part of it.

I guess we'll all find out soon enough...

 

[Couper]

3hr time difference between Melbourne and Perth- maybe trade will be done 9am Melbourne time before the WCE fanbase wake up in Perth…

If this trade goes through,I'll be waking up a few via text

 

[Juddrockz]

theres some funny stuff there. the collingwood stuff not quite as funny - though some of them still think noble is a good deal for the suns at 23 and are surprised that people like luko and baker are taking precedence

And the Pies think the Suns should throw in something else to give Port to make the deal go through,obviously coz they have zilch left to give
Funny stuff

 

[Psychochook]

Pretty cool eh!?

Effing loves it.

 

[NavySteel]

Any way we split pick 3? Knowing we contributed to its parts, anyway. If we get a second back tomorrow it might make things interesting.

Pick 3 and 26 would be mint for the draft tho…

 

[coryne]

I thought the Suns were CRAZY to give up #6 for Rioli but they are ALSO supposedly throwing in a 20s pick to ..... makes #3 for #12, 14 and Owies look respectable......

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Maybe Kennedy is involved with Tigers as well?

CARL
OUT -> 12 + 14 + Owies + Kennedy
IN -> 3 + 26 + 63

RICH
OUT -> 24 + Baker
IN -> 14 + Kennedy

WCE
OUT -> 3 + 26 + 63
IN -> 12 + 24 + Baker + Owies

Values Baker and Owies at 18 collectively as far as what West Coast pay. Seems unders.

Values Baker at 44 and Kennedy as far as what West Coast get. Seems unders.

Values Kennedy and Owies collectively at Pick 30 which seems fine.

We need Richmond to be okay with it.

 

[Big Delut]

Surely if we get pick 3 and don't want Draper we squeeze something out of Adelaide assuming they do want him

 

[WalshYouLegend]

Sorry Walshy, but that's complete rubbish.

Dow was genuinely in the conversation for #1 and was an absolute lock for top 5. If you can find something otherwise, I'll eat Andrew Walker's hat!

I'm happy calling Dow a major bust at pick 3, but he absolutely wasn't a reach at all (based on opinion at the time).

Fair enough maybe I’m getting confused with someone else being a surprise pick by SOS (LOB maybe?). Was just going off memory. I must be getting too old

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

LOB was a bit of a reach at 10 for sure. I think Cunners was a little. Nothing crazy though.

 

[djw1952]

No we won't.

Our F1 and F2 were used to get 14. You can't count both sets of picks.

If we gave up 12 + 14 for 3 our total net change would be:
IN: 3 + F2 (Lions)
OUT: 12, 34, F1 (Blues) and F2 (Blues)

If you assume the F2s essentially cancel out then it is 12, F1 and 34 for 3.

I guess I would just prefer to see us keep the two picks and use them on two kids, as I see more flexibility in separating the two picks rather than bundling them together for the one high pick. It really is annoying that after pick 3 our next pick is in the 60s, although if it`s true that Rich is going to be involved in a 3 way trade with W.C. and us then hopefully we get a decent pick off them to grab a KPD in a later round. One early pick does not solve our list needs overall, but that is just the way I see it.....

 

[jezza25]

Yeah so is that ok? Can I have an opinion or do I need to run it by you first..

Another smart arse newbie

 

[GapInIkonPark]

LOB at 10 on the other hand...

That was a reach and poor drafting at that pick.

And TDK in the same draft was considered a massive reach at 30.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Sorry, thought this was an opinion based thread Not sure why it’s so crazy to you. Every single season there are players that are hyped up, sold as a combination of Chris Judd and Jesus Christ, but then turn out to be Jimmy Toumpas. My gut feel is that Jagga Smith is that guy this year.

No idea if your right but CJ & JC vs Jimmy Toumpas is pure gold

 

[myblueroan]

Where's our salary dump player???
I want my salary dump player, and I want him now....unless of course it's Rory Atkins......

Let it go horse friend.
We have apples!

 

[RPCB]

If Matthew Owies is the key to unlocking Pick 3, Matthew Kennedy really needs to donate his best clubman award to Matthew Owies.

 

[bradfisher14]

Imagine that. 3 Lalor/Draper, 24 Hannaford
