Bluemour Melting Pot XXVI

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...

Pick 7 must look pretty attractive to Geelong now.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Moore and Polson are still on our list.

But surely its just a matter of time.

 

[Cripptonite]

How good is free agency.... The best players always go to the best teams. Lucky we are getting Zac Williams and the filth still have an unco giraffe as their full forward.

Imagine how Cogs, Kelly and Whitfield feel right now. Sinking ship with a coach who is taking them nowhere.

Also hopefully Cameron going to the Cats lessens their desire to go hard for Charlie Curnow

The Oliver trade would have been on like Donkey Kong if Cameron had nominated Melbourne...

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Moore and Polson are still on our list.

Both played games this year (as questionable as Moore's selection was). Don't think BSOS was anywhere near to getting a call up, nor would he likely have been in 2021.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Feck. Surely GWS don't match on Williams now?

That would be very annoying and foil much of our off-season plan. Hope not.

 

[carlton_99]

Sorry, meant it as in "they decide to match Williams now they don't have Cameron's salary to worry about".

Maybe but they may have to match Cameron's salary to force a trade... isn't he a restricted FA

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Maybe but they may have to match Cameron's salary to force a trade... isn't he a restricted FA

Both Cameron and Williams are restricted.

 

[carlton_99]

Also and I could be wrong don't GWS get a first rounder as compensation for Williams anyway. Not sure what more they'd be asking for in a trade...

 

[carlton_99]

Both Cameron and Williams are restricted.

Yeh exactly so if they were to match 1 surely they would try and match Cameron's because they can get more from him out of a trade

 

[HARKER]

Maybe Gil and co shouldn't have stepped in last year in regards to Coniglio.
GWS don't have issues with midfielders, other than they can't play them all.

Cameron hasn't been great this year, but he's still their marquee player. Oh well......there's always priority picks the AFL can sling their way.

Both played games this year (as questionable as Moore's selection was). Don't think BSOS was anywhere near to getting a call up, nor would he likely have been in 2021.

Why would anyone actually be pining over BSilvagni?
He showed nothing, cared little and was ousted as he should have been.
If we feel he has any chance at all, we can rookie him.....but that won't happen.

 

[Burgers45]

Prob not but I wonder if this impacts our ability to split 7 with Geelong.

Isn't Cameron a RFA, meaning Geelong don't have to trade picks unless GWS match the contract? If they don't match no picks need to be used by Geelong.

 

[Arr0w]

We have a few KPD options Marchbank, Plow, Gov, Jack as KPD options

Just stop

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I was responding to the call about not keeping players based on potential. Surely, we aren't holding on to those guys based on exposed form?

 

[mrkyuss]

GWS should merge with North.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Remind me, what's the point of free agency again? To strengthen already quality teams?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Cameron is restricted so fully expecting AFL to match Geelong’s offer......

 

[koutaaa]

Liked for the use of the ITK term 'make of that what you will'.. i look forward to more info..

Haha the only thing I’ll ever know is that my wife is always right

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

I was responding to the call about not keeping players based on potential. Surely, we aren't holding on to those guys based on exposed form?

And I'm stating that they were at least deemed good enough to plug a gap in the side when required, which BSOS isn't given he's a developing player. I doubt either of them will be kept regardless.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Cameron is restricted so fully expecting AFL to match Geelong’s offer......

What you did there. I see it.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Just thinking of North’s and *’s plight at the moment and our own .... one thing I hope our recruiters and list manager keep in mind is that say in the case of Dunkley if both ourselves and * are chasing him .... DONT GET SUCKED INTO A BIDDING WAR!
I hope they are smart enough to say to any potential candidate .... this is our offer, it’s fair for your talent and if you want to go to a shithole of a club that will not be playing finals for the rest of your career but are offering more for your services ..... there’s the door you ******* merc and we don’t want you soiling the fabric of this club.

We are finally, FINALLY in a position of a destination club ... let’s not make the mistake of * and take a Shiel at way overs, or even the Filth who paid Grundy a million a year for 7 years!

Learn the lessons of these clubs and how screwed they are whilst casting an eye on Geelong ... and of course the Dawks premiership dynasty.

It is nigh on impossible to keep a quality list together without everyone buying in and going for glory at the expense of a few piddly dollars.

Need buy in not mercs pure and simple.

SOS led the way in not overbidding. Carlton don't have 3 picks in this draft to trade for players if SoS had bent over on Martin and Papley

 

[Magruder]

1. You posit a 'true' meaning of what developing means
2. You then go one to make assumptions about 'work ethic' 'psychology' and relative measures you would have no inside knowledge about - referencing other players in other positions
3. You then repeat your own speculations as fact to conclude

To me it is just another Silvagni - exited. One more to go.

Agree with all except the last sentence.

to me it’s another KPP exited after not showing enough to be retained- regardless of surname

 

[Burgers45]

What you did there. I see it.

You mean, similar to when they, the AFL, stepped in when Coniglio was almost to the point of deciding to come to us last year?

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Prob not but I wonder if this impacts our ability to split 7 with Geelong.

Williams compo will net them pick 8 that’s a very good pick they won’t match but they will want 2 firsts for Cameron so it makes things difficult you would assume...

 

[Arr0w]

Looks like GWS have cleared enough cap space now
