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

Wines story is 100% real

Is there a chance we get all 3

Is there a chance we get all 3

Unlikely IMHO

 

[Electric Blue]

Unless Papley falls through, won't happen. Papley won't fall through. The fallout for Wines will make him a cheaper pickup next year.

Thanks EB.

Will be an interesting couple of days.

Given Wines Manager denies making the call was the contact made outside of “normal channels”?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Wondering if Port would consider Bonar as partial replacement for Wines?

 

[Skull Face]

We still going to have a 1st round pick in this or next year's draft once Martin + Papley are done EB?

Yep, which is all the more reason to keep our future 1st. Can walk into next years trade period with Ollie as our main target and have the trade capital to get it done. In the meantime, we will get a better gauge on the rest of our list and potentially have a player or two that we would be willing to trade. And the timing works better for us in terms of having a E.Curnow replacement.

I reckon so.

Interestingly from what I can see on the Port board - they feel like they have enough Wine's type players on the list. They need more quality kicks than inside mids.

Yep if we can somehow keep our 2020 1st we could package that up with something for wines next year

Phillips wants to play with his long lost brother aaron francis

But who wins the Ben Stokes look a like comp then?

 

[zeggie]

I wouldn’t worry too much about Pittonet with the lack of opportunities/not setting the world on fire. He is still only 23 which is an absolute baby in ruck years. 4th in the Liston is a good sign.

He is coming in to bridge that age gap in our rucks. Kreuzer getting older but still has a few years left. Pittonet will only play (maybe) when Kreuzer is injured. Even then we have Casboult

Exactly. He's insurance. That's it. He's young and who knows what his ceiling could be.

Phillips had already peaked (if you can call it a peak) and the thought of him rucking half the year if Krooz goes down AND overpaying him makes me shudder.

It's a solid trade.

 

[Skull Face]

I reckon so.

That makes my day, not too worried if we have nothing else left as long as we don't give up both 1st rounders I'll be happy.

 

[KoteX]

Not Carlton trade related but .....

I’ve heard it this..

Port adel trade their pick 10, Ryder and Dougal to the saints.

In return, saints give port picks 12&18

Saints then trade pick 10 to Freo for Hill and also give Freo next years first round.

Does this sound right?? Two likely top 10 picks for Brad Hill ??????

Pretty much the way I see it.
We'd also know whether we need Wines then, or whether we have more important, or better alternatives.

It does seem as though the game will play out just how it needed to - Getting Papley and Martin and hanging onto '20 1st....just in case.
Should SOS walk out of this trade period with '20s 2nd intact, then he truly has done an amazing job.

 

[Revenant1965]

I have no inside knowledge. Just want to as say 'Happy Jack Martin and Tom Papley Day'. Let it be....

 

[BlueLocke]

Guesswork:
Martin will get done today.
Papley will be done ‘live’ tomorrow night, along with Daniher.
Clubs have probably had agreements in place for weeks for most trades, but have to appease the AFL media circus in terms of timing the lodgements.

Interestingly from what I can see on the Port board - they feel like they have enough Wine's type players on the list. They need more quality kicks than inside mids.

Port was number one in the comp for contested possession and number 3 for clearances. Didn't help them win games, whilst the worst 2 teams in these categories have shared the last 3 flags.

 

[slowhand clape]

I’d love us to get Wines this year. That would be an all time great trade period. No way Port trades him, though. They would be a laughing stock.

 

[TheRedPill]

Martin deal is done... agreed on a couple of options depending on what happens with Papley.

 

[VainGlorious]

I'm curious about the number 7 clue, doesn't seem to fit Wines very well. The real mystery player is yet to make his appearance.

Ollie Wines was a pick #7 in his draft.

Apologies if this has already been answered 398 times.

As long as he stays at port, then im fine with us missing this year. If he were to end up at * or Hawks, I would be disappointed.

This is good. Get that deal locked away so we can sort out Papley. Hopefully we can get the Papley deal without relying on Daniher.

This story will follow him all year and with no contract extension to sign there’ll be an air of inevitability about it come trade time next year.

TheRedPill throws us a rumour and it goes BANG!
