Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[bradfisher14]

A couple of wild rumors going around in former player circles on socials today.

Can you share?

SOS to so desperate to never look like he’s a shit list manager. Only seems to target all his former GWS and his Carlton rejects. Not Brodie Kemp, Stephen. We actually want him.

Pick 8 and I won’t throw out my first baggers jumper (#1 from ‘94 in long sleeve)

Don’t make me do it Steve

 

[Crippa#9]

That would be incredible

West Coast have finished in the bottom 2 for the last 3 years. Yet will only have had one pick below 8

to be fair, they fell in the right year to have pick 1... Harley is generational

SOS trying to get Jack the 3rd tall forward role next year?

Jury is still out on what our "main issue" is though.

For some, like yourself, it's the backline. We've replaced Marchbank who couldn't string more than 6 quarters together without breaking down with Haynes who, while not at his peak any more, is still a very capable defender who can and should play 14+ games if he's fit. We're also reportedly covering our bases with a few potential train-on players (Grainger-Barrass and the VFL McCartin Bro the names mentioned so far) who might score a spot via the SSP.

For others it's the forward line. We're punting Owies. but Kemp looks like swinging forward, JSOS will be back, and Moir showed great signs late in the year.

There's also a school of thought that says we can improve our back AND forward lines by fixing our midfield...which is where I'm leaning.

Add a new dimension to the midfield mix (elite disposal, or express pace with tidy disposal) and we become more effective at gaining territory, controlling the play, retaining possession and finding targets inside 50.

There's also the medium/long term strategy side of it. A few really good defensive free agents next year, so if we tidy up the books now we can maybe have a dabble in that market. Plus our NGA kids next year are a wing/half forward and a small forward.

In my 60years watching footy teams that have won premierships have built their teams from the backline...a weak backline under constant pressure like we've been eventually succumb.

I don't think we can lose him given our current KPD stocks. Plus SOS will try get him for peanuts.

[Arr0w]

SOS now sniffing around Kemp

 

[Soapy V]

**** off Rabble!

SOS still sees him as a mid?

 

[Kruezing]

SOS now sniffing around Kemp

Two firsts get it done lol

SOS doing SOS things.
1 trick pony.

There are only 3 teams in the comp, didn't you know?

If he can’t get his own son across then no chance for anyone else … lol

 

[carlton_99]

SOS becoming a real pain

 

[Aphrodite]

I'd start by trading out Walsh...has zero hurt factor !

 

[Sam The Doc]

Two firsts get it done lol

based on his shite, pick 45 is fair.... go away!

 

[Wickzki]

GAGF SOS.

Not for sale.

 

[HarryFlashman]

**** off Rabble!

Hey Saints, Pick 7 & he’s yours, love him but there’s always a price

 

[Blue and Silver]

Kemp's contracted, it would have to be way overs

**** off Rabble!

Pick 7 or GTFO SOS, ya flog!!!

 

[Coops93]

Kemp gettable but for the right price imo.

Don't want to move him on, but if the Saints came with something eye catching, I'm moveable on him. Top 10 pick I probably make the move, but if it's something like 2 2nds, then no.

 

[viking12]

If SOS wants Kemp then it’s pick 7 or bugger off

 

[carlton_99]

Wouldn't 32 and 45 likely get absorbed in a Campo bid - don't think they would be Carlton related

 

[Triniboy]

Pick 3 going to Dees for Petracca

a straight swap for Sam Walsh would be a better outcome...we should use pick3 on the best big defender.
