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

[skadoosh]

I give you the one & only Tom Browne ...

Well...I mean...the article explicitly said Wines' management approached Carlton. Not sure it gets more explicit than that?

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

He's 31..

I would still do it Still got 3 or 4 top years of footy in him.

I thought Wines was no chance, but now.....

WELCOME TO CARLTON OLLIE WINES!

 

[F_therest]

He’d know there’s game time definitely available as Kruez can’t stay fit for a whole season and Phillips is all but gone.

And a 2 year deal instead of 1 from the hawks.

More opportunity in seniors, longer contract (and maybe more $$$) plus join a team on the rise.

No brainer really but a good pick up from SOS nonetheless.

What sorta club would we be if we traded in 31+ year olds from Adelaide....

 

[Brezsa]

well is Setter's instagram any good?

Don’t know don’t follow him

 

[Aphrodite]

I can't be the only one who would prefer Robbie Gray over Wines (if those rumours of him also wanting out is true?)

He is a bona fide superstar that lad, he is one player I would pony up our 2020 1st round pick (plus more) for. Would certainly start the gofundme campaign for a SOS statue outside IKON Park if it happened.

He'll be 32 next year!

Why is Tom Browne such a flog?

No because he's 31 and we're getting a 23 year old like for like tomorrow

 

[Bluesome]

Lolllllll that statement. Port want to trade him now. Tactical statement to preserve his value.

$5 says issuing this statement and then calling us SOS saying "Look how much we want to keep him. We issued a STATEMENT! Future 1st and 2nd pls pls"

Statement probably raises more speculation than the original article...

Our 2020 1st + more for a 31 year old Gray?

Sorry but that would be really bad list management give the other options out there.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Interesting post on Port board - the wheel has turned.

“How does it look on this club that Carlton had our captain actually approaching them for a trade and they then went, - nah we're good mate”

I wonder if at 7:25 on Wednesday night, SOS calls PA and says "Next year's first and we'll take Ollie off your hands. But you gotta throw something else back our way. Just for show, you get it."

 

[SOSforPM]

I hope we dont get Wines. Save the doe. Go after a gun with some dash next year.

Agree.

Need some serious run and dash over someone like Ollie. Wasn’t he almost dropped this year?

 

[Stamos]

It's not like Malthouse had the power to give players contracts, the board at the time lowballed Eddie, he only wanted an extra 50 K a year, and we could have also signed Daisy as well.

We didn't even have a list manager then. Of course Malthouse had a say over who was on the list.

 

[ferrisb]

So after a week of nothing happening, all our mooted deals look like falling into place in the final 2-3 days.

Who could have seen that one coming?!?!

Mega offer to Whitfield

Strap in, it's starting

[SickQwon]

We are a destination club.

I don't need any more convincing, players know what we've built and they want to play for us.

 

[F_therest]

Ollie struggled with injuries this year but imo is still a very good player.
I reckon he'd be similar to a Prestia-like pick up and he's done wonders for Richmond.

Russell would slim him down a bit which would help his running.

Would be a great pick up imo.

 

[Arr0w]

Hahaha

 

[The Defender]

Mystery player to be revealed.

Someone other than Wines, surely not

 

[Curnivore]

He really wouldn't have left if he was willing to do that. Eddie leaving was about maximising his earnings and setting himself up for the future, good luck to him for having done so.

Eddie coming back is about GC being his only other option and that didn't suit as the family wanted to come back to Victoria.

Like I've said before I will support him 100% when he becomes a Carlton player again but I will be far more excited about signing up Papley if that happens.

Google before replying. Was offered 200k more a year, said he would stay for an extra 50k, we refused, he went to Adelaide and went from a very very good small forward to one of the greatest of all time.
Loyalty is a two way street

 

[F_therest]

Hahaha

Hey Ross

 

[JustaBattler]

I'm thinking NO WAY does a Club Captain's management leak a nothing story just for the fun of it all - I'm also thinking Martin from Suns isn't gunna cost a first rounder....
