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.

Thanks mate. I won’t try it out on you.

Nothing says I don’t love you anymore, more than a big red upside down thumb. It’ll make me feel like Caesar.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Recruit a Coburg Leb ? Yes please. Could do with some fearless mongrel.

The Saads are of the nice Coburg Lebanese variety. Coburg has changed. If you want mongrel, need to recruit from Broadmeadows way now.

I just like using the angry face and dont get many opportunities to use it. No matter which one you use they still add to your reaction score.

The two things aren’t mutually exclusive.

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

Casboult hey.
Your post is a "scratch head" moment

 

[HereComesJuddy]

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.

If no deal is struck, there are only 2 Melbourne teams that would stand in out way (in the preseason draft), kangas and hawks. I don't think either will go Saad if he puts a decent price tag on himself and says he only wants to play with us.

I reckon North would call his name out without a second thought.

We thought the same about Melb and Martin too until he put a huge price tag on his head. North wouldn't do it.

Those are probably the two exact teams that would!

Born in Coburg Hospital, first seven years lived on Broady Road and went to Tulla State School.

Triple tough.

 

[Blue__Balls]

We thought it highly unlikely that they'd take Martin.

Martin was also 200% set on Carlton, and we structured his contract demand in a way that made it unreasonable for Melbourne to afford. They also liked Bennell for their last list spot.

NM are in freefall, desperate for talent, and can't convince anyone of note to take their blank checque. They wouldn't turn away someone like Saad for free, and if he really wants out of Essendon I don't reckon Saad would be so choosy as to refuse to play for NM if they're happy to pony up $600k a year.

 

[BIuebagger]

Saad and Williams releases Willo and SPS further up the field. Them two would make our backline close to one of the strongest on paper in the league and alone transform our mid rotations and what I saw from Willo on Sat night was total comfortability as a winger. Could become very damaging if we can continue to develop him there.

Add in 1-2 key midfield acquisitions and the return of Dow and introduction of Kemp from constant injuries - our 22 looks different once again and we bat even deeper. This off-season is so important, it can change our fortunes for the first time in a long time.

Let’s be honest, if saad expressed his interested to want to play for us and us only, do you really see someone like North or Hawthorn taking a player that they know doesn’t want to be there?

In North's case, absolutely yes!

 

[GapInIkonPark]

We finish 11th !!!

And we have pick 7 due to Fremantle’s points deficit !

 

[J-dog]

Got a gut feel that Wines will be in navy blue next year.

Seems like a good fit, Port are strong enough to let him go, we'll have the picks to get it done.

7 to Geelong for their two firsts. The later of those for Saad. The earlier of them and our second for Wines. Williams as a free agent.

Leave next year's picks intact.

Plowman, Jones, Doc
Saad, Weitering, Williamson
Walsh, Williams, Setterfield
TDK, Cripps, Wines
Martin, McKay, Newnes
Fisher, Curnow, Cunningham

Still not sure on the makeup of the forward line. One spot probably shared between Betts and whichever of Owies, Honey and Phillips survive the cull. The other probably best suited to a utility (Gov or JSOS) or second ruck (Levi or Pitt).

Stack the bench with mid rotations and runners - Curnow, Murph, Newnes, Gibbons, SPS, Cunners, Dow, LOB, Stocker, Kemp, Philp.

Fixed.

If Cunningham wants to play he is small forward until he can prove otherwise. Best games I've seen him play bar that bombers game were as small forward. Newnes half forward and run like a mofo.

 

[Mr_Plow]

In North's case, absolutely yes!

100%. Saad would be annoyed for a bit but he'd get on with life. As long as he's in metro Melbourne (for family reasons), I don't think there'll be any lasting issues.

Omg! We move higher on the ladder and don't lose draft position. That's a win-win.

And all because SOS bid on Henry last year while he was buying time. Hilarious.

Merett or josh kelly ?

Merett.
We are developing dynamic mids.
Need an A grade all-round footballer in the middle
