Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

**** me, we would be actually burning the place down if we did something this stupid.
Baker is not a star, good footballer but surely not worth more than a mid first at absolute best.
If all these tiger “stars” were so good, why the **** was the team so bad!
Tigers are have sold “polished turds” as diamonds, good players in a very solid side but hardly game changers in an ordinary one

To be fair, they sound pretty close to burning down said house

Can everyone who says they want Draper please acknowledge he does nothing to solve our kicking issues?

Small request. “Despite his below standard kicking I think we should pick him due to his pace”

He doesn't kick darts but I don't think his kicking is bad by any means. He doesn't seem to trust himself too much when kicking on the run. When he can take some time to set himself he can make some very nice kicks.

I am more focused on what he is rather than what he isn't. He is extremely clean picking up loose balls and is an amazing link up player, at stoppages he looks to handball first, burst run second, bomb kick last. He has proved his defensive midfield credentials against men in the SANFL, and he is highly touted as a leader. Not to mention he is absolutely rapid.

I'm going to head over and tell them to calm down...always helps when my wife is upset.

 

[Arr0w]

Looking forward to see how this plays out. Suspect we also get Tigers pick 51

Wondering what else comes back our way

Look I don’t want to trigger people but he reminds me of Dow kicking inside 50

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.

Yeah Tigers are copping a hit there...

In isolation, it's essentially 14 for Baker and Kennedy for 24.

tbh, struggling to figure out how to give them more. WC wouldn't want to pay another cent and we just don't have anything else.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Volkaneo loves us

 

[kingkingston]

Any news on Kennedy? And a potential trade?

Will be at Carlton next year I would think

 

[Wickzki]

This make Dodo a sad panda.

 

[jimsta10]

Just Pick 3? what about Pick 26, Pick 63?

 

[HarryFlashman]

Whether this plays out as a win or huge mistake it’s brilliant that we have obviously come in to trade week with a clear & established plan, then meticulously picked off key pieces, working with other clubs to deliver the outcome we were after.
Smart work by us, pretty bloody happy about it & trust that we know what we are doing - it’s a nice change

 

[Zlatan]

On just the last page of the West Coast draft thread, there are Essendon, Collingwood, Fremantle, St Kilda, GWS, Hawthorn, Melbourne and North supporters posting their opinions of the pick 3 trade

 

[TENACIOUS]

The Houston deal looked pretty sound to me, maybe just some theatrics for tomorrow night.

Though I would love to see Collingwood left with their

 

[Flaro]

The potential pick 3 deal is on AFL website. Sounds like EricPascoe has come through with the good again.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Just Pick 3? what about Pick 26, Pick 63?

Getting 26 as well was just another one of our episodes of collective delusion . Never realistic to get that though I'm sure we get some late pick swaps in our favour.
