Bluemour Melting Pot XXI - Like seriously, the polar ice caps have got nothing on us

[ABigOlDoofus]

Take with a grain of salt, but would be very happy if this came to fruition.

SOS spotted having coffee with Brisbane?
It can only mean one thing, coffee Kofi Annan, naan bread, Indian food, papadam= Papley!

ohh jeez cutler me some slack ya mongrels!

From my perspective - if betts was the only recruit this trade period, it would already be a win as a historical wrong has been righted. That we are likely to get Martin as well is a bonus

should this be in the bluemour no discussion thread aph? Certainly unsubstantiated

Meeting Brisbane

Let’s build a statute of our recruitment team and only acquire pittonet. Joke

Hate to see Sydney digging in their heels. Within their rights, but you still hate to see it when it negatively affects us.

Why couldn't they play hard ball with Mitchell?

Christ on a bike I couldn't stand seeing Lewis Taylor running around in our beloved jersey.

Doesn't sound good re: Papley. Jake Niall going with Sydney not wanting to offer pick 5 in the Daniher deal.

Of course the don't want to - doesnt mean they won't.

Expect all parties to play hardball today and test the patience of their opposition.

Swans offered 5 and 25. Essendon said no.
Swans offer 9 and future first. Essendon say no.
They'll keep posturing and arguing, and statements will be leaked about one side or the other being prepared to walk away.
And at the end of the day, Sydney will offer 5 and 9, on the proviso they get something decent back, and it will ultimately get done.

But if Sydney offer 5 and 9 now, Dodo has all day to push them for even more.

Everyone's playing the game.

Don't pay any attention to the opinions of football journos, they're just filling air time.

The only thing we need to pay attention to today is official offers, rejections and completed trades.

This trade period will be a disaster for us. We’ve put all our eggs in the one basket. Disappointing

What is a realistic alternative to having all your eggs in the one basket come trade week? It’ not like multiple A graders are lining up waiting for us to decide they are the chosen one. Especially this late. If it falls over its bad luck. That’s the system unfortunately.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

What are Swans not budging on, what’s in play exactly ?

 

[DamoESP]

If we can get Jack Martin, we can walk away this trade period okay.

Sure, as long as we dont give up pick 9 for him.

 

[Fat Kent]

Sam Gray any chance as a backup for Papley? Maybe they can throw in Wines as well.

 

[Brezsa]

What’s on Insta?

It’s fake news, can’t find SOS posting about it on Insta. These media people need to be held to account

 

[HarryFlashman]

This is frog shit, deals aren’t going to get done as they want “dramatic scenes” for the televised coverage tonight. Managers will take it to the wire to show “how tough” they are. This isn’t a movie, the afl are a ****ing joke, stop trying to manufacture drama & publicity & concentrate on running the ****ing game.
It’s a pity there’s no way to hold the afl to account and get them to stop ****ing around, it really is an insult to all involved (including us supporters)

You're right, every time I start to get angry at Sydney for not trading a player that wants to leave, I remember how we handled Gibbs and try to put myself in their shoes.

Frustrating, but fair.

There it is...

Looking forward to 8+ hours of impatient, negative posters whinging about how if we haven't closed the Papley/Martin deals yet we must have missed out due to club incompetence. Probably quoting prominent media personalities talking absolute shit to create clickbait headlines.

Also looking forward to those posters going missing after both trades go through this evening.

because Longmuir ( apparently) couldn't stand the sight of him.

Out of contract.

Didn't think Hanners would of been cooked when the trade was done.

sorry aph ignore - my quote disappeared

 

[HBF]

We’re have other plans but Swans won’t budge ..

Thanks mate (I think)
Got to say this is the first time in trade period I feel less confident about the Papley trade going through.

 

[Robertio]

Ask Brett Temple,he knows what’s going on..

Not until you give an answer first.

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

I'd be stoked to get Wines if papley falls through - absolu


because Longmuir ( apparently) couldn't stand the sight of him.

If that's the case, Papley needs to piss off Horse real bad, real quick!
