Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

That looks to me that there day has only just begun, I would think they would be looking at package deals to move up & smash the top 10.
Hate the pricks, but hats off to them, that’s smart work

Absolutely perfect timing for them too with Tassie coming in in a couple of years.

They'll have a list of talent a mile long.

Well played getting their West Coast and Gold Coast trades done.

Crazy they still have to settle with Freo for Bolton

It’s definitely cost us, but it’s a bloody good each way bet to improve immediately & secure the future in one swoop.
Nothing good comes cheap

It's all in. We don't have a lot next year now.

Positive is Pick 3 could influence next year

 

[carlton_99]

If this deal goes through and Cody Walker continues to track as a top 5 pick in 26' we could end up having 2 top 5 picks added to the team in a 3 year period

 

[Campoeasy]

Both trying to convince Richmond to take the other one

This is exactly how I took it and had a bit of a chuckle aha

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Whatever happens, whoever we bring in, it must be to ensure that crippa gets the flag.

Can’t recall a bloke in my lifetime who is more deserving of one.

 

[viking12]

No doubt Austin knows who will be available at pick 3 to actively go agressive for it

Smith or Draper but hoping for Draper

 

[marcmurphy3]

We have effectively traded our first round this year and next year for Pick 3

Using 33 to get it done was essentially a free hit. That pick was going to be eaten by a bid. What the good clubs do when they have an academy/fatherson option.

We will still get a player that is more then worthy of a 2nd rounder in Ben.

I am glad someone’s on the ball around here.

Just pick 3 coming back our way?

I think Twomey had Draper around 8 on his last power rankings. If we are all talking about him at 3, has Twomey got it wildly wrong or has something changed?

He's top 5 on most others. Think he should be higher. That top group is quite even so positioning does change based on the list but I think 8 shows some Vic Bias.

Twomey goes by club info based on need - not by talent

 

[Wickzki]

Why no talk about Harvey Langford?

Has been top 5 most of the year. Currently 2 for Twomey.

Goal kicking midfielder.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Surely not

I'll show myself out

 

[CoachB]

Whether this plays out as a win or huge mistake it’s brilliant that we have obviously came 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

Looks like Cook has spent a lot of time hand holding and educating the football dept.

 

[marcmurphy3]

You're thinking of his phantom. His rankings throughout the year are talent based.

 

[ferrisb]

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

Maybe add that they are not looking at the issue properly and they are being too emotional???

 

[carlton_99]

If it goes through I'm also interested to see what's different with a pick 3 coming to a contending team rather than a team in the bottom 4. Should have far more support around them and probably a bit less pressure as well

Don't blame them. 3 for 12 & Baker is poor for a club that need genuine young talent

 

[Lace_Out]

They also desperately need mature players

Brilliant work Austin!

Does he have 3 sleeves lol
He’s pulled a miracle out of two!
Does he have a 3rd trick

 

[Opium]

He doesn’t miss

EP is one of the best with Intel

Going by market value for Baker - Bolton will get them a top 10, Pav & Sandilands
Bolton I actually rate, smart ass little prick but can seriously football.

Personally, I don't care where he rates players.

You look at the qualities Draper has, he will be a perfect fit for us.

Then there's Lalor who many believe is a bit like Trac.

Then there's Smith who wins the ball, high clearance numbers. Doesn't have the physical attributes of Cripps but he could be extractor and what he lacks in Cripps' size he more than makes up for with agility that Cripps just doesn't possess.

We should be getting a gun here...
