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...

My heart feels weirdly peaceful and at ease seeing another rumour. It's like my cravings have been satisfied.
Anyone else feel the same way?

Translation: I wish I got to post it in the No Discussion thread. Damn you Doofus! Damn you to hell!!

 

[FairKouta]

I am disappointed this thread hasn’t hit 350 pages after the rumour dump this morning. Lift people lift

 

[Broadside]

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.

Every full moon, same as usual

 

[RPCB]

Right now rate the three big fish in terms of player value for the club Oliver Coniglio or J Kelly.

1) Kelly. GWS are losing players with some big ones nominating moves away. Need to hold onto Oliver.

2) Oliver. Would want to keep him but not so much that they would want a disgruntled player near their number 1 commodity (Viney) and they can get a good package to use how they want.

3) Coniglio. Signed to a huge contracts. Dropped during his first year of the contract. Overpaid for the money they paid and can need to shed cap space in part because of his contract. Not worth the amount they are paying him (if 2020 is any indication).

 

[BluesRule]

You can be sure that there will be a great articles wondering how we can pay Saad $850,000, Williams $900,000 and Oliver $1M. Then the opposition supporters will pick up on it and true to form, they will demand a look at our books.

Good thing we are not about to extend Cripps contract at present ... oh, wait....

 

[Countryblueswitnotattoos]

Hope this talk of Oliver to Carlton is true, but finding it hard to figure out how we would get it done without getting Saad in the PSD.

Didn’t we end up being an assisted club? If so the AFL already have the books, all of them.

 

[ctwenty1]

Clearly they aren't South Australian

Is there a "Pariser" running around in the AFL at all?

 

[RoyalParade]

So we could go BANG (Williams), BANG (Saad) and BANG (Oliver) in the same trade and FA period? Judd was huge but this would be the best offseason in the last 3 decades? Would almost rival Kernaghan, Bradley and Motley in 1986.

Steady on.....

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Yep, he Would have been called Fritz Smith.

They do and we know that they do. Fans of other clubs are just idiots. We are the best.

 

[murphster]

We would have to heavily front load his contract to keep the wolves away

The question will be how many clubs before our pick will have a selection to use in the PSD, even in a normal year it’s not many and with list cuts factored in it will probably be even less this year if any at all. Are PSD picks tradeable?

 

[RPCB]

Steady on.....

Very true. I will keep it under wraps I think.

and that Fremantle are right into him at the moment. He said Carlton expect him to play out 2021 at Carlton but apparently the talk is Cripps has told both WA clubs he wants to finish his career in Perth.

Coming from Kim Hackdorn means Cripps is about to sign a 10year deal at Carlton

EFA

 

[BlueJet]

It could well be complete bs but I'd heard from someone in the media that Oliver isn't on great terms with Petracca & Viney.
If true, im sure Dee's would do what they can do mediate the situation.

 

[BlueZombie]

If we end up with Williams, Oliver and Saad.

I would personally like to thank Gil for helping GWS keep Coniglio.

Not sure those 3 end up with us if we paid a fortune for Coniglio.

Well played Sir!

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Pick 2?

 

[LanceRomance]

Could call him Bung as a nick name

 

[ctwenty1]

Pick 2?

its a joke, a sad joke...

 

[Arr0w]

The question will be how many clubs before our pick will have a selection to use in the PSD, even in a normal year it’s not many and with list cuts factored in it will probably be even less this year if any at all. Are PSD picks tradeable?

No, psd picks are not tradable

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Wait, did i just see Ockham's Razor suggesting Oliver to Carlton now too..?

 

[Brezsa]

Pick 2?

Wow if St Kilda are coughing up that much good luck to them. I don’t get the hype on Crouch

 

[Cripptonite]

Pick 2?

Sam Edmund also said that there may be a salary dump going back the other way to offset the huge salary St Kilda is paying Crouch (Dunstan or Webster). If that’s not called out as complete and utter manipulation of the rules then this competition is completely stuffed.

We tried to do a similar thing with Kreuzer a few years ago when we were on our knees and the AFL basically told us we were not getting band 1 compo. Adelaide have had one bad year and are getting looked after for some reason.

 

[HARKER]

its a joke, a sad joke...

It is and so much more-so for North Melbourne.
Bad enough last year with GC getting a 'surprise' and pushing other teams out and now if a pick #2 goes for BCrouch.......come on now.

If GC didn't get that 'gift' we may have well have Serong with us....anyway.

 

[Catfish blue]

A player manager has said that he is hearing the same three names being linked to us - Wines, Oliver & Merett.

It's not Bluemour worthy because the player manager, or the company he works for, does not manage any of the aforementioned players. Could simply be regurgitating what's on the socials.
