Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[The Bighouse]

I don't subscribe to Busslinger necessarily having lesser value. 20 year old KPD ... they really don't play for the first couple of years anyway. We have got to the point where supporters want to see him get games so he must be almost ready. Kennedy is almost surplus to us now.

As I said, there is another option. Just trade for picks and grab a sliding Trainor or someone else.

Most phantoms I have seen have Ben Camporeale going after 35.

But you take out any uncertainty of a bid & having that pick getting eaten up. Bombres took out #9 from the equation.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

How about this:

Blues: Out: Kennedy, Kemp In: Busslinger, 35
Dogs: Out: Busslinger, 35 In: Kennedy, 22
Saints: Out: 8 In: Kemp, 22
Swans: Out: 19, 22: In: 8

Rationale:

Kemp does not have a clear position right now. It's not down back, it could be up forward, it's not midfield. We are looking at JSOS for CHB, but our coverage is Young. Busslinger is 198cms and has a footy IQ.

Dogs have Jones for another year, Lobb for another couple, and can't play Darcy, JUH and Naughton up forward together very much. Darcy and Naughton are the swingmen so can go back. Plus Dale plays tall.

The Saints and Swans pick swap speaks for itself.

Edit: Or more straightforward.

Saints and Swans do the swap. Saints give us 19 and 47 for Kemp. Dogs give us 35 for Kennedy. We hope Trainor falls to us for we grab another 18 year old tall.

Hope I’m not speaking out of school here but …

Jed Busslinger will never be a Carlton player under Nick Austin.

People saying Jsos isn’t strong enough for CHB are we forgetting he played in the ruck probably against the biggest ruckmen.

Yep people associate skinniness with weakness but he has very good core strength... Just like his old man, dare I say it.

Austin not a fan?

Have heard similar, not a fan of his shite hairdo

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Austin not a fan?

Not during his draft year. He may have matured since though.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Might be one of those sports bra things that have got quite popular. Kanes still a ****ing good runner

He’s incredible, ridiculous runner for a guy his size (78.8kg for the boxing fight, not an ounce of fat on him)

Crazy to be running splits he runs at 79kg

No, not at all.
But why?

 

[WalshYouLegend]

I think Port won that mega trade hands down. Pies paid too much in picks and players and Suns didn’t fare well either. Guess Pies/Suns were desperate to get it done. Good for us Blues to see the Pies overpay.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Not great from Suns... Rest doing alright there. (if PA are okay with 1-2 nobodies sitting in the 2s)

Someone really has to explain this to me like I'm stupid. Cos I'm struggling to see where it's bad for them.

They pick up two future 1st round picks for whoever is coming through their academy next year.

They add a 2nd round pick that helps them get Lombardo.

They ditch the horrendous $1.2 million salary attached to Lukosiuos for 2025 and 2026.

They ditch the final year of Atkins $400K.

Struggling to see how its bad. They have everything they wanted.

Kennedy trade has hit a snag. I repeat.

No, not at all.
But why?

Age old debate of: talent vs. personality

 

[charred_fate]

There is room for a 4-way trade between North, Saints, Dogs and Carlton that would see us with pick 25 I reckon (for Kemp (32) and Kennedy (48)).

Too many other moving parts, but it would help Daniel get to NM, Macrae/ Kemp get to Saints and Kennedy to Dogs.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

JSOS will be playing CHB in 2025

Knew it.

East Perth…!

 

[Wickzki]

No, not at all.
But why?

Because Jedd has or had a massive douche canoe reputation.

Makes sense with the previous rumour of Kemp playing third tall forward next season.

Give us moreeee

SOSage?

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Makes sense coming off a knee injury, but hope we surround Jsos with Haynes and Gov

Would suggest they are vying for the one position possibly?

Kennedy trade has hit a snag.

Power is sending Sniff to the draft so won't have the picks for Kennedy?

 

[The Bighouse]

SOSage?

Sam Power seems to be holding up a lot, so would join the queue.

 

[Wickzki]

Kennedy trade has hit a snag. I repeat.

Kennedy trade has hit a snag.

Austin not satisfied with what Dogs are offering?

Dogs willing to take him on but not all of his salary?

Dogs only want to give us a minor pick upgrade and that doesn't help us enough to warrant trading him out?

Think Cowan will look to replace Gov

Was contingent on something else happening .. which hasn’t happened.
