Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[CaptainCharisma]

I have no issues letting Kemp go, but it needs to be for well overs.
Accepting a mid second rounder for a contracted player who wants to stay and provides coverage all over the ground would be bad business.

 

[Wickzki]

And if the Ben Camporeale bid comes in prior we have let a good player go for nothing .

Agreed.

Given our win yesterday I can see any number of clubs wanting to stick it to us so we don't get too big a win knowing that we've had our hearts set on him for years. No chance we don't match. It's just smart list management by other cluba to throw the bid in. It was smart by us to move way down

 

[BIuebagger]

No to 32 for Kemp. Keep. Up the offer SOS or **** off.

 

[Warsaw]

Letting go of contracted players for middling picks is strange. Especially ones that are not banging the door down to get out.

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

32 would be a great get. We need to stop asking the world for our players and over-rating their worth in a trade market. Take the heart out of it and use the head.

I'm actually using my head when I acknowledge that losing a young player who is under contract, hasn't requested a trade, and plays a position with little depth for a pick that may get eaten up by a Campo bid is not intelligent list management...

I think everyone needs to chill on the kemp stuff

Definitely been played up

I really doubt were just gonna give him up for mid second

 

[Wickzki]

If he goes for ~32 / future 2nd, I’d feel like he’s been pushed out.

Pushed out by who?

A 32 year old Haynes who's no guarantee to get back to his best?

Jack, who no matter how much we love him, isalso no guarantee to get back to his best in a position he's never played full time?

I'm sorry both scenarios scream dumb to me.

We need something back this year that's not a speculative pick that may be chewed up by a bid.

Not by incoming players, by the club/coaches. Why are we accepting such a nothing pick when he offers us versatility at either end, is young etc?

 

[Gointocarlton]

No to 32 for Kemp. Keep. Up the offer SOS or **** off.

or just **** off SOS.

 

[Crippa#9]

If we accept 32 it would suggest to me we don't rate him.

Just another relatively high draft pick (1st or 2nd rd) we haven't developed anywhere near good enough...

Boekhorst, Dow, O'Brien, Stocker, Philp, SPS...

not to mention all the high draft picks we plundered out of GWS over the years that have been a disaster.

 

[SurreyBlue]

This is SOS creating a little instability if you like to call it.
Make some noise within the club (adding Weits as well) and then try to shake out a few. Not necessarily today but down the track even. His not a dumb operator by any stretch.
Need to be firm here and not play the game.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

I have a feeling unfortunately that Kempy will be leaving today with Chugga ….

 

[kingkingston]

32 wouldn't be lost in the Campo bids most likely. We can do the Campo bids now

 

[kingkingston]

There is absolutely NOTHING logical about taking Pick #32 for Kemp.

That is what he is worth in a strong draft

 

[marcmurphy3]

I wonder if Saints F2 could be turned into one of richmonds 2nds.

 

[kingkingston]

And if the Ben Camporeale bid comes in prior we have let a good player go for nothing .

not really. Kemp is inconsistent. 32 for inconsistency would be great.

 

[Jatz]

I only understand Kemp leaving if it's for overs.

32 is not overs.

Anyone from St Kilda player wise we might be interested in?

 

[bradfisher14]

I have a feeling unfortunately that Kempy will be leaving today with Chugga ….

Same, but if it means we can package stuff together and get a later first/early second I’ll be okay with it.

 

[Graffy4242]

None of the ITKs have posted on this which means to me that it is VERY unlikely to be in motion.

If Saints however offer up Pick 8.....different story!

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

32 wouldn't be lost in the Campo bids most likely. We can do the Campo bids now

?

 

[SurreyBlue]

Some people just don't get it.

 

[kingkingston]

OK...the head says he's young, has AFL qualities, likely first in line in the event of a KPF or KPD injury, still improving...and 32 is a risky pick.

The head also says pick 32 and extra money to sign Tom De Koning is a great move

 

[Ninja Worrier]

32 wouldn't be lost in the Campo bids most likely. We can do the Campo bids now

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Who in this years draft, key position wise could replace Kempy and where would they go in the draft picks wise?

Is it Trainor?
