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.

Had a few clubs inquiry about Kennedy

Thats really promising, he'd be a good one to offload for draft capital/ trade chips.

 

[bigm386]

If Jack wants to leave he can leave. I like him as a player but welcome to professional sports.

Would rather number 17 than good news stories.

 

[bluemahogany]

Teague, just doesn't seem to get him as a player. Strange. He is heart n soul type stuff.

He was in the 22 every time he was healthy...

 

[Arr0w]

Absolutely spewing. All the best for him if he does leave, here's hoping he's not wearing a red sash next year.

Wait for it

 

[james Dean]

Priority #1 over Saad or anyone else needs to be resign Cripps and McKay for 4 years each

 

[Metalcrusher]

TCP goes bang!

JSOS wanting out makes me upset and we should be trying to retain him. Very intriguing. Had a feeling Kennedy would get some interest. The guy can carve out a career and has the ability to play at AFL level

Funnily enough, its what the Dopers need (Kennedy type).

 

[Arr0w]

Told you.

ps. jus to confirm - nothing to do with the kid wanting out either!

This

 

[esoteric]

Seeing JSOS in any other jumper is going to be hard to stomach.

Woud be hard to hate the Saints if Ratts and JSOS are both there.

 

[La Dispute]

Not too surprised with JSOS. Seemed disgruntled when his old man was moved on, and probably wants a fresh start elsewhere. Still 50/50 to make it as a player IMO, and we're probably not too annoyed to lose him.

Sounds like other clubs have progressed further with Saad, but we'd be quietly confident still.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

tencentpiece are essendon one of the clubs looking at kennedy?

 

[BIuebagger]

Funnily enough, its what the Dopers need (Kennedy type).

Agree that they need a player like that. Same with Jack. Both to *? It seems like they’re interested in JSOS with what’s being said on here.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Had a few clubs inquiry about Kennedy

Bam Bam did look good earlier in the year, especially against the Roos. Probably a little disappointing only played 6 games this year, though can't imagine us letting him go.

 

[alfo]

This aged well

SOS has joined trade radio for 2020. Just imagine if Jack gets traded

It will be difficult to watch Silvagni play elsewhere, but maybe it is better for him to go and play for another club and be his own man. This is always the difficulty with having to make professional decisions (e.g. moving on SOS and de-listing BSOS) where family is involved.

If he goes, I will not "Boo" him. He's a smart footballer that gives his all every game.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

The big name missing from that list for mine is Setterfield. I have no doubt we'll extend his contract but hopefully it's sooner rather than later.

* need a big bodied mid and we need a Merret......

 

[FanofFev]

Yes, just a matter of length & money. Mckay might not be done until next year but preference is to get it done this off season.

Eddie getting another contract?

 

[bluemahogany]

barass70 pls confirm or deny about Jsos

 

[F_therest]

Not too surprised with JSOS. Seemed disgruntled when his old man was moved on, and probably wants a fresh start elsewhere. Still 50/50 to make it as a player IMO, and we're probably not too annoyed to lose him.

Objectively it's probably the right decision for both parties.

JSOS is a 3rd tall type forward for a marking target and a bit of defensive pressure.
However we are loaded with key marking forwards - Cas/McKay/Curnow/TDK/Gov.
For 'pressure forwards' i'd hope we get smaller, quick players to perform this role.
And no he's not a midfielder...he doesn't get a game in our midfield that's for certain.

The fact that it's Jack Silvagni is why it's an emotional hit, but really we're losing a fringe player who's probably not in our best 22 rd 1 next year.
However for JSOS, he could find a spot in the best 22 for some other teams for sure like Melbourne/Essendon/North. Maybe Saints.

 

[Bostonian]

Don't mind JSOS wanting out, this is how you create draft capital to use to bring other players in.

Something other clubs do all the time but we've not been in a position to do with so little depth and desirable players.

 

[chunkylover53]

That is absolutely sad. Something must of happened. Why would we get rid of a block that gives his 100% every week and bleeds blue. Has enormous footy IQ.

I'd say the club expressing that having 2 sons at the club is the reason for SOS' departure could be a pretty big reason... was a dumb thing to say at the time, very, very dumb.

also the fact we traded in McGovern to basically take Jacks spot (although his own dad did this).

i dunno, would've been hard for him being a father son as well as son of the list manager. Catching up with teammates at the end of the year who were just delisted by his own Dad.. awkward situations all round.

Does he? I'm not having a go, but there's certainly a trend with popping in after the news has done the rounds and regurgitating that information.

 

[Matty411]

The rumour about JSOS plain sucks. Must be disillusioned with his Dad and brother being shown the door, which is disappointing given he's a professional footballer and is rated by the club/fans. Is best 22 when fit and offers something few in our side do.

Also rather keep Matty Kennedy but if he helped us get Saad or a big midfield target, that's the business we're in.

 

[Blue__Balls]

If JSOS goes, best of luck to him. Being honest, he's always been on the fringe for us anyway - happy enough if we retain him, but equally happy if we can turn a player who is only "maybe" in our starting 22 into something else of value.

He's contracted for next year though, so if either party (club or him) are dead set keen on him staying then they'd be able to ensure it happens.

 

[The Greek Freak]

Ruined my whole williams excitement.
Jsos was a fave

If he nets us Saad?

 

[Arr0w]

Jack will ask to be traded to *
