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...

We won’t be able to snag Oliver and Saad without giving up a player or 2

Stocker and SPS with the greater currency
Dow, Kennedy and LOB have some to the right club

First rounders this and next year gone. Maybe a second this year also....Interesting times.....

How in gods name are we supposed to enter into a complex, multi club mega trade with Dodo involved?

Doing 2-club trades with Dodo involved is painful enough!

 

[HBF]

I can feel a 100-page day coming on.

Yep.
Bugger work. I'm staying here for the day.

 

[The Fantom]

I don't know how I feel about the Oliver news. I know he's a very good player but also one of my most disliked in the comp

I hate all other players unless they wear the Carlton jumper.

 

[bmaurizio]

Yeah, 100% this. They are the same five players I listed as being expendable but potentially attractive to other clubs.

Yup the group of players you mention are expendable and if interesting offers are made trade. Furthermore Dow & McGov. underperforming, and Curnow & Marchbank that just can’t get on the park, collectively create a difficult situation for the club. That’s 9 young players with potential that are just not accessible to the team for one reason or an other.
I‘d treat cautiously this trade period, Williams is a great addition, if nothing more fine , end 2021 campaign take action and full review.

 

[Matty411]

Interesting to note that Barbazza's sources inside the club are saying boo on the Oliver / big fish talk.

I reckon this is b/c the club is playing things far closer to their chest than previous years (change of team maybe).

Coming out publicly with the Oliver news (from either side) could have pretty bad ramifications - probably why the Wines thing was so hush hush last year. If it doesn't eventuate, no harm no foul.

Gives us a better chance of getting it done behind closed doors, too - without the media circus on our backs (more than they already are).

Trades?
I don't think the lady at *'s cafe is too happy when Dodo orders a coffee. He also wants a free muffin + the $10 in cash from the register goes into his pocket.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Ok, I need to get some work done now. Can we all put a pause on this for a little bit?

Guys?


Guys, I said, can we please pause this convo?

Guys?


Guys... ah, screw it!

Free to a good home: McLachlan backs Cameron move

The AFL chief says it is up to clubs make themselves appealing to free agents. He's also looking at flexible fixturing next season.

Love how supportive Gil is and always has been of GWS stars leaving Sydney

Gill on Coniglio leaving the Giants for Carlton - “I’m a romantic, I’d prefer him to stay”


Gill on Cameron leaving the Giants for Geelong - “That is free agency & it's a credit to Geelong”


HYPOCRITE!

 

[Matty411]

Let's play a game... its called 'Dodoro is the kind of guy'. I'll start.

Dodoro is the kind of guy who would negotiate with a parking meter for the hourly rate.

Can't help but think that Melbourne are prepared to let this happen because their demand will be Harry McKay

or GTFO
Melbourne don't lose. They either hold a gun midfielder to his contract, or get exactly the profile of player they are lacking.
Picks aren't gonna get this done. And I think we are kidding ourselves to think any combination of SPS, Dow, Stocker gets it done either

They hold on to a player that doesn't want to be there, and that is having issues with another one of their guns who has just signed a 5 year contract.
I think they lose a little.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Looks decent, but is 7 + Fantasia really enough for Wines? Seems light for Port.
What's Fantasia's worth by himself? I'd say a 3rd. Maybe late 2nd an absolute stretch.

I was going to say the opposite, seems overs for Wines and unders for Oliver. Melbourne would want 7

 

[Max Pepsi]

RoyalBlues putting it all out there. It will either end like this




Or this

 

[JeSOS]

If this all eventuates and Oliver comes to Carlton.............................I wonder when we can expect Gary Lyons contact to be running naked around the TAN.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

I prefer Wines; he'd possibly be cheaper too

Age would come into it too. Maybe 3 extra years in the system for 2 x 1sts

Corrupt AWG.

 

[HBF]

JSOS or Kennedy?
Mate would you take Fritsch in a trade for Cripps?
Carlton Supporters seriously need to get their heads out of their asses. Melbourne are in the box seat for a contracted, AA pedigree player

If you believe the other rumour, if Melbourne get Wines this would largely offset them losing Oliver.

Can’t wait to hear Gawwy’s thoughts on these revelations

One thing saying, "If you can get me across, I'll come" and a much more difficult thing getting a deal done.
All looks so very difficult on face value, unless Melbourne an Oliver have hit an impasse.

The Viney contract though just somehow makes the whole idea somewhat more feasible.
Maybe Wines wanted to know that Viney won't be picked up elsewhere before he weighed up the idea of coming to Melbourne.

Still though - A senior player going to a club because your mate plays there, is a weird thing....Isn't it?

So do we need another "itk" to confirm it first or can we start the welcome to Carlton Clayton Oliver

Stick the landing ... stick the landing, please mother of god stick the ****ing landing!

 

[Treesloth]

Oliver has informed Carlton he wants to play for the Blues next season.

Will only be able to proceed if Saad does not go into the PSD due to salary cap constraints.

Good lord I hope we pull this off. No doubt in my mind that Wines is a better fit for us than Oliver and Merrett combined.

Maybe that's just the bonus, being back home was your main reason but getting to play with your best mate makes it even better.

 

[Metalcrusher]

Dodoro is the kind of guy that would Use a cucumber to check his prostate

He would negotiate a minimum second rounder for the cucumbers privilege though.
