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...

With all the latest trade goss, it sounds like the only player still possibly on the midfielder radar is Wines. And I don't see him moving. So I think we should start to get comfy with the idea of Saad and Williams being the only gets this offseason.

i cant see why dunkley would leave dogs and why dogs would want to trade him...he is one of their important players.

Maybe unhappy with his role? Played second ruck a lot this year which was quite strange.

Also if the rumours about Hunter and Smith are true, maybe he's unhappy with the culture at the club/how the club has handled the situation. Grasping at straws there but it's possible.

Been answered a few times here, he might not like the role given to him this year. Might prefer a permanent mid role like 2019 where he dominated.
This season he was essentially the 2nd ruck with stints forward.
Might be looking for a permanent position.

 

[JustaBattler]

You didn't want Merrett or Hunter?

no view on either tbh- just like seeing rumoured trades eliminated - so the discussion can move on.

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

FWIW, here are my rankings of how excited I would be if we got one of the A Grade mids we've been linked to:

1a Dunkley
1b Oliver
2 Merrett
3 Wines
4 Hunter

Then there's a gap as vast as the universe itself

5 De Goey

 

[Bostonian]

Only good thing about that is he‘ll be close to the interchange bench.

Tom Lynch was very good in this kind of role for Adelaide for a good few years.

It's worth trying just to get a bit more output from him.

 

[FairKouta]

We could lure dunkley with the promise of pure midfield minutes. Won’t have to play crazy ruck roles. Dunkley could be feeling what tom Mitchell did before he left sydney.
Macrea libba and Bont in front of him in the midfield

Lynch was a genuine workhorse though, McGovern will never have the grunt to perform that role.

 

[carlton_99]

He left Dunkley out of the ones he ruled out though

Hmm assuming Barbazza's on the money, sounds like there's a bunch of players we have serious interest in that haven't been mentioned yet in the media or on here.

Would love for us to do a Neale, which Brisbane kept under wraps until really late in the year and caught everyone by surprise and by the time it was revealed Neale had eyes only on Brisbane so there was no bidding war.

 

[fishncripps]

Players I'd be happy for us to be asking the question about:

GWS - Hill, Daniels
GC - Miller, Sexton
Collingwood - Phillips
Richmond - Higgins
Essendon - Zerk-Thatcher (contracted until 2021 and would be very much a required player but I rate him)

Would be absolutely flat out ecstatic if we could somehow get him across to us. I don't know why he doesn't come up in more conversations about small fwds of the comp

 

[Bostonian]

What have we got to lose in seeing if we can get 10 minutes a quarter out of him in that role compared to what we're getting now?

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see it happen just don't think he has the tank! Personally I'd play him as a third tall defender, getting led to the ball would suit him. Intercept marking potential and he's a good field kick.

Trouble with that role is it relies on Marchbank not being fit and of course it's a role Plow often plays.

Where do we fit them all in down back?

Probably because he only kicked 5 goals from 16 games this year?

Ok, if we are into Dunkley I propose this trade:

Carlton - Pick 7, 27 and 45
Bulldogs - Dunkley, Pick 13

I cbf trying to work out the points difference but it should help them immensely to cover the bid for JUH. Surprised me but the dogs don’t have a second this year

My only reticence to doing this is we only have pick 13 for Saad and that’s too much to give for him. Maybe the campaigners can throw in 41 as well....still makes me sick though

The bloke tied to them likely to go in top 2 of draft is the only reason, seen as the most expendable of their mids

That would rate Dunkley as a pick 9. Might be slightly unders. Maybe add a future second.

Yep but either way cant see Dogs letting him go. Too important as has been discussed

 

[GudOnya]

I would legitimately pay to see JDG end up at *. Not much cause I'm a tightarse, but still.

Match made in heaven, or possibly hell depending on your outlook.

Definitely will be great for their culture.

20 goals in 49 games

Sam Edmund said some interesting things on SEN this morning:

-De Goey one month ago was leaning strongly towards Carlton but things may have changed slightly due to Williams and Saad nominating

-Carlton has cast a wide net this year with Williams Saad Oliver De Goey and others

Would love to get a couple more. A cheap small forward, and add more depth to our midfield.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Ben Ronke has kicked 33 goals in 34 games.
