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

[AndyLucimitis]

Also my respect for Eddie grew yesterday.

A mates wife (Carlton supporter) was telling me how she was down at training when she was younger (About 21) and getting a Carlton jumper signed by alot of the players.

When she asked Fev he made an absolutely disgusting comment (truely disgraceful comment/ request in return for his autograph)

Eddie overheard and had a go at Fev telling him to pull his head in etc.

Call me a scrooge but I'm not as romanticised by Eddies return as others on here.

Sort of feels like to me he bailed when things got tough at Carlton - needed to move to Adelaide citing family reasons.

Now is bailing on Adelaide when things have gotten tough - now needs to move back to Melbourne citing family reasons ????

Happy to have Wines with next year's first round pick the centrepiece of the trade.

Won't be an easy deal to get done.

Midfielders of his type come up big in finals.

yep, absolutely

 

[kjr8]

If Wines approached us then he surely approached other clubs. Yet it appears to have leaked through Carlton. We leak like a sieve.

Leak to tell Sydney that pick 9 is not going to wait forever?

Bailed? Was very keen to stay and wanted a small pay increase, which in hindsight was more than justified.

Was pushed out the door for a Collingwood bloke with a cactus ankle.

Google what went down. He wanted to stay, was willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of dollars to stay.

Terrible post.

 

[zeggie]

Usually Id agree but as Carlton were the only club referenced it leads me to believe its come from us. This would mean we’re either using it as a tactic (poor form) or leaking unintentionally (concerning). Anyway only speculation at this stage happy to see what comes out.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Did you miss this bit?

 

[Faz 2000]

Yup, as stated above, Eddie leaving was Carlton's fault, not Eddie's.

You forgot:

1. MM didn't like or rate Eddie.
2. MM made sure we offered unders.
3. MM wanted Daisy.

 

[Robertio]

I'm on the same boat, thinking about Samo and Martin in the same lineup really does excite me, both so versatile and crafty.

Both made of silk and they are not frightened as well.

I still think it's extraordinary that we've only had five trades to this point. If not for the Ollie Wines story and Eddie getting off the plane it would be tumbleweeds on trade radio. As it is the adds take-up 70% of the coverage.

I agree it’s bizzarre too much chest beating and clever planning.

Blame Malthhouse for him leaving blues.
Blame crows management for being idiotic.

No? That just says we were approached by Wines, not Port. Anyway with the recent Bluemour it seems there could be more to play out here & the story could have been leaked to bring about a deal. Happy to park my concerns for now.

 

[chunkylover53]

Seriously, make the trade period 24 hours.

From Thursday midnight to Friday 11:59pm. Have them smash out as many trades until they are delirious and start doing weird shit.

Dodooro at his desk: Alright final hour, we'll give ya.... Daniher... for... *falling asleep* a future 3rd... *falls asleep*

 

[Kramer1]

Duck for cover AndyLucimitis. Appears there may still be a little love for Eddie around here...

Yeah slowest trade period ever.

Still so many trades to be done...it does mean we may be in for an absolutely hectic next few days though.

Some decent names too:
Danniher
Hill
Papley
Martin
Jones
Howard
Ryder
Bruce
Keath

etc

It would seem the Danniher & Hill deals in particular are really holding everything up.

No surprises that it involves Dodo. Bell has talked tough as well.

 

[ferrisb]

I would have left Eddie til last

Monday: Martin - Good
Tuesday: Papley - Better
Wednesday: Eddie - Betts

 

[Zlatan]

Just can’t see a trade scenario where we can get Wines, Papley and Martin.

We don’t have the currency bar someone leaving who can get us another high pick.

The Wines leak deliberate.

Given he’s contracted, he’s in an untenable situation now.

4. MM was a ****ing idiot

It’s always best to appear as a “reluctant buyer” than a “desperate buyer”.

This strategy has SOS’s sticky finger marks all over it.
