Bluemour Melting Pot XXIV

[Funk]

I think it is.

IMO a list manager needs to be proactive and decisive. But chasing deals to make an impression and a name for yourself sounds dangerous.

Chase each and every deal on their merits, not for setting a narrative.

Nail on head ferrisb

Carlton midfield will go ok in 2021 if Oliver comes across as well as Williams

 

[katmanblue]

I wouldn't say no.

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Can I play?

 

[J-dog]

The genuine smile and excitement on Gary's face when he's talking about it makes me think two things...
1. He knows who the players are and one of them isn't Oliver.
2. He doesn't know who the players are, one of them might be Oliver and that smile might not be lasting much longer.

Might be Essendon players and he is laughing at Watson?

 

[Cutz]

dreaming - if he has interest in property not only is andrew welsh and his family massive in the property game, there is also paul liddle as well also a massive developer. Sure we would have connections but none as big and close to essendon as Welsh Group/Liddle Group

Isnt Fraser Brown into property developing in a fairly big way? Arent some of the Grollos Carlton supporters? No one. No one does billionaire/millionaire benefactors like Carlton.

 

[Mezzoculo]

I know that's a golf pun (very nice, I like), but for the record McGovern had a better year than Mason Wood in 2020.

So you're saying Caddy can help out our own Shooter McGovern?

 

[KohPhi]

Let's face facts, it's been 25 years since we won a flag & 7 years since we competed in a final.

It seems like we are going all in this year. If a player is going to be an up grade, improve our list and help us win Premiership number 17.
I would trade anyone on the list for that.

The attachment from people here, to players that haven't done anything, but were low draft pics so they will come good is funny...

Smart business would suggest, if we could upgrade circumstantial players while they still have currency why wouldn't you?

This is exactly how it goes down in Clubland. Well said.

 

[KohPhi]

SERONG!

Get Bontempelli.

 

[chunkylover53]

We must genuinely think we are a chance of contending next year, going very, very hard at mature players.

Like it. Open the window now. Why not? We're not young anymore.

 

[HBF]

He’d be a great fit for them as disgusting as that sounds. Hard working strong body.

I want him in our side against Richmond round 1 2021. Would be such a shame.

I agree, but as you know you have to give up something to get something.

It's such a nice day, I think I'll go out the window.....

 

[Arr0w]

Can't see Brander leaving WC

Can play forward once Kennedy retires, partnering Allen and having Darling as the 3rd tall

Back up to McGovern and Barass

Also has a massive tank to play on a wing

WC don't trade out young talented talls

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Yes, apparently likes shopping at La Manna

Best grocery store in the Southern Hemisphere, love that place

I think that's actually Merrett after being asked to sign an extension.

 

[Own The Future]

I’m just catching up from last night’s posts.
So with the rumours about De Goey, are we assuming that is the player carlton09 was referring to as the gun mid from the Vic based finals team?
I’m not sure - I wouldn’t immediately think of JDG as a mid, but I’m wondering if the 2 rumours are linked.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

We are already paying 2 explosive inconsistent forwards that can't get on the park 700k per year. Unless we somehow get rid of McGovern spending money on De Goey is unnecessary

I would give an arm and a leg for DeGoey to come across, but I wouldn’t be bringing him over to to be 70-30 forward.

He’s set to explode, 70-30 midfield is what I’d be using him for most weeks

[Countryblueswitnotattoos]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned here, but Barbazza seems to have dropped the cryptics and is flat out saying Oliver and Dunkley are the gun mids we are into...

maybe he has been told he will be our gun mid?

His soft tissues may explode if he played that much midfield

 

[Broadside]

No one does billionaire/millionaire benefactors like Carlton.

and yet we were broke for 2 decades......they helped us but not so much that they would lose influence or board control.

 

[HBF]

If (big if) they are into DeGoey and if (bigger if) it gets done. Then that has to be JSOS papers stamped, no way he can be in that team considering the role DeGoey plays unless he becomes something else

If we managed to land JDG (which I highly doubt) that moves us to the cusp of top 4 imo.

 

[The Dochs in]

Sam Edmund now saying Devon Smith is a chance to look at his options as well. Haha * really are cooked

 

[HBF]

Would've thought its * or jobkeeper.

Norf would overpay for him big time.

Meanwhile some footage from Nick Austins meeting with potential recruits

Austin: So Zac we think you would be a great addition to play along side Cripps

Williams:


Austin: What about you Adam? Would you like to join Car (doesn't even get to finish the sentance)

Saad:
