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

Or he could stay as a half forward where he was playing very well.

Lots of comp for forward roles...what do you see as best forward options for 2020?

 

[Chewy on your bootsma]

I

I think so. He will have to get permission from the AFL, as all other out of contract players do.

in that case no

Very possible now that we didn’t acquire Papley. However, Eddie there, may just squeeze him or Jack out, and our other pressing need, to support Cripps may be more important.

 

[Accidental genius]

Talk from whom? I know plenty of people on Big Footy have talked about him being a fulltime midfielder. But he isn't. He is a half forward who can chop out for resting mids.

Talk from BF. Don’t underestimate the talk here.

 

[Wily trout]

Must know some good trout fishing spots!

Only the ones I told him about

 

[therubbernub]

Swans were happy trying to recruit Daniher a contracted player, Yet one of their own wanted to leave and they block them.

we were happy trying to recruit Papley acontracted player, Yet when charlie/cripps/harry/weitering wants to leave we try to block them

I'd like Jack in there more often to do exactly that, help Cripps out. Decent size, deceptively strong (he went with Fyfe after all).

 

[KohPhi]

I recall the talk being about him helping Cripps...big body etc.

His foot/ankle injuries have hampered his pace (not that he was elite in that area anyway).
Hoping a solid, injury free pre season will give him the level of pace and fitness required to play more minutes in the middle.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

From a Sydney perspective, they didmt want to weaken their squad. If they got Daniher, then it would sort of compensate losing Papley, especially as they brought in Taylor to cover.
I think of it this way. Hypothetically, If Charlie Curnow asks to be traded to Cats with 2 years left on his contract, we may entertain the idea IF we get someone (lets say DeGoey) in.

If DeGoey falls through, would you do a separate deal to lose Charlie??

fu** that!

I'd be saying 'sorry Charlie, your staying'.

TBH, I have absolutely zero interest in Carlton Football Club keeping a player who doesn't want to be here.

 

[RPCB]

Precisely what I will be doing when the media start linking Carlton mad supporter Matthew Rowell with a future trade to the club next year.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

That's what Socialist Governments do. Spend other peoples money.

Once a government of any description takes your money, it's theirs. Good luck getting it back.

 

[thylacine60]

Have been known to be a tad snarky though.

oh shit yeah......

Right now, Charlie, Harry, Gov, Kennedy, Cuners and Eddie. Jack/ Levi on the interchange bench.

 

[The Bighouse]

There was definitely narrative from the CFC re: Kennedy being brought across to be a midfield bull & assistance for Crippa. Sure it was even mentioned by MK himself to get out of the logjam at GWS for more midfield minutes.

 

[windows1]

I'd rather Kennedy somewhere forward. Showed to be a reliable option there.

Not sure he's shown enough in the midfield to make up for some of his weaknesses, ala speed etc. At least for fulltime mid duties.

Looks dangerous there.

 

[Accidental genius]

Right now, Charlie, Harry, Gov, Kennedy, Cuners and Eddie. Jack/ Levi on the interchange bench.

very good. jack and levi can rotate through there. maybe jsos can develop his midfield skills and as being a tagger on occasions. levi fills holes in back/forward and as ruck until retirement.

 

[Dadda Dave]

I thought sydney were going to poach stkildas best key forward again forgot there isnt one

What about the bummers..
Oh hang on ....
They don't either..

 

[Opine]

Right now, Charlie, Harry, Gov, Kennedy, Cuners and Eddie. Jack/ Levi on the interchange bench.

Eddie finishes that total combo beautifully.

No Gibbo?

 

[Heres Waite]

No Gibbo?

Hopefully Gibbo is part of the mid rotations.

 

[windows1]

Hopefully Gibbo is part of the mid rotations.

I have him rotating wing/half forward with Martin (tempting fate?) in my best 22 at the moment.

 

[rog1995]

Hopefully Gibbo is part of the mid rotations.

I'm surprised he hasn't been given a contract so far. Only re-rookied.

Think they did this with Ed C back in the day. Rookies have it hard.

Might be shitty but no need to upgrade them until you have to, You're right, they do have it hard.

 

[Mezzoculo]

Port said no?

Could be. I first read the post as we closed the door too early as we thought paps was in the bag.
