Bluemour Melting Pot XXII

Does it worry anyone else that the guys who are in the high priced free agency wars seem to have pretty crap years after their mega-deal is done? Coniglio and Grundy haven't exactly set the world alight this year. Kelly hasn't seemed to become the next amazing midfielder that everyone thought...

As per the Bluemour File OP, this is a thread for discussing Carlton related rumours. http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/bluemour-file.1085141/ Rumour posters should post their rumours in both threads for those that like just to read rumours and for those that like to have get lost in their...

Just like to thank Aphrodite and the other Carlton mods who started the Bluemours NON Discussion Thread and who have kept it free of chat over the past few years.

It helps so much when you just don't have the time to read through this thread, cheers and great job.

Yep. The added benefit of having Saad and Williams in the team is getting both Williamson and SPS further up the ground. If we have these two kicking to the big forwards we will be so much more clinical and efficient imo, would love to see Willo in particular delivering inside 50 more.

should have read your post before I posted mine. Spot on.

I'd also give dons straight swap merret for dow ..im serious ..we need to make the moves this draft ..Brisbane were second last on the ladder a couple of years back some smart recruiting and they could possibly win a flag this year although I think they won't

You may be serious but they'd laugh at Dow for merret as a straight swap, and rightly so.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Was mentioned somewhere we had spoken to Rory Atkins. He’ll be at Gold Coast next year.

Poor Sheephead

 

[Baggers]

Think Fantasia will head home to SA if he leaves *

 

[BringBackSimmo]

I think player to player swap is fair ..we give dons jack silvagni or casboult they give us Saad ..fair exchange

Dodoro says No!

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Clubs should start to refuse dealing with them

Why? I'm sure the 17 other clubs want him in charge as long as possible, so he makes their lives difficult every now and then but he's making all of their lives easier more often by keeping Essendon shit house.

 

[Brutalitops]

no... our days of picking players we hope come good, or hope reach their potential must be over. They simply must. We need plug and play best 22 additions, and we should be prepared to pay full retail.

We need best 22 players from better teams than ours. Narkle isn’t that profile. He’s just another spin of the roulette wheel.

The hardest climb of all is where we are now to challenging for prelims. I’ve seen enough of what we have on the list now to say this core group won’t get there without help. We don’t have enough mids, we need more leadership, and we need a broader group of better users who also bring dynamism. We need the ball moving fast and long to give the forwards the maximum space.

I view Saad and Williams to both be clearly additive to what we have. Particularly if they release or swap with Willo / SPS to move up to the wings and we get more quality users closer to the forward line.

I reckon he is a walk up start to our midfield. Hes having difficulty cracking into a midfield consisting of Selwood, Dangerfield, Duncan, Parfitt, Guthrie and others who have come on. Thats not a knock on him. He'd be cheap also and adds exactly what we need. Pace in the midfield.

You may be serious but they'd laugh at Dow for merret as a straight swap, and rightly so.

We need to look at sides that aren’t in the window and target There creme players We might be surprised at who they’d trade to rebuild there clubs for the right price eg jye simkin rankine Rowbottom etc

Have you had a recent fall?

 

[KohPhi]

ahhhhh... school holidays have started.

It all makes sense now.

 

[katmanblue]

please no.

Could help with development of our own wingers in Williamson and LOB. Teach running patterns etc.

Flashy player but lacks a bit ticker for mine. Also way too injury prone for us.

Yeah I reckon he's a bit shy of contact. I could be wrong, but that's my impression.

More like this years first plus Kennedy and run don’t look back

 

[Sheephead]

Poor Sheephead

Don’t cry for me Argentina. I only post what I hear. Unlike some who just make shit up.

 

[raymagoo]

This is where is see Kennedy being offered to them as part of the trade. They have a lack for big bodies and Kennedy fits

We need speed they need bulk

he is surplus really

Saad won't do a Martin if it comes to that. He'll put a tidy price on his services and head to whichever club is happy to pay it.

If Dodo won't deal, we should just shift our focus elsewhere. Jayden Hunt from Melbourne is handy enough and bloody quick.

Very handy in fact

 

[Brutalitops]

He'd be a good fit, * could do worse. Kennedy plus our second. Start the car

 

[ferrisb]

We dont need Saad, Williams etc.

We need players that can pass the ball over 50mts that can break defensive lines.

Is it just me or isn't that exactly what those two do?

You're kidding yourself if you reckon rebuilding clubs are going to offload their better <24yo players for picks to facilitate a rebuild.

You're right we should look at those clubs though. Just the opposite end of their lists. Find a Cunnington or Parker who could be had for a second rounder and come in to give us a harder edge.

 

[Blue__Balls]

The problem with Dodo is that he strings talks along long enough to impact other trades.

Only as long as you let him.

That's why I said we should walk away if he won't be reasonable. Put him on the clock with a late first, 48 hours to accept it or we move on. Saad isn't worth wasting 2 weeks haggling over.

 

[raymagoo]

A poster who gets good information said we had inquired

recruiters wouldn’t be doing due diligence if the weren’t inquiring about lots of stars

 

[The Greek Freak]

I'd also give dons straight swap merret for dow ..im serious ..we need to make the moves this draft ..Brisbane were second last on the ladder a couple of years back some smart recruiting and they could possibly win a flag this year although I think they won't

You might be serious, Essendon and anyone else really would laugh at that suggestion.

Fair call Hopefully Austin’s team has their feelers out

Hey, dumb question. I know if I push the ‘like’, it gives a post a thumbs up. How do I give a thumbs down? I’m on my iPad and technologically challenged.
