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...

De Goey would drag this club down. Too much trouble, too much % of the salary cap, and would create disharmony

Agreed. We don’t need another forward, even if it’s in a different vein to the talls we have now

 

[BlueShift]

Can't believe so many here want to bring JDG to the club, when for the last week we've all been laughing at Essendon for what Shiel, Smith, and Stringer did to their culture. Bringing in talented players means **** all if they have a bad attitude.

And fwiw, would absolutely pass on Carey and Ablett Sr., don't care how talented they were. Plenty of other all-time greats who didn't assault people.

Still has that new thread smell....

It's just gas

 

[Arr0w]

Okay, perhaps the best way to move on, for me

I can't see JDG being at Carlton next year

 

[chelseacarlton]

No, just no, it’s not because I’m a virtue signalling flog or don’t believe in the Law taking its course, it’s because I am the father of a 9 year old girl.
Please help me with the mental gymnastics or lobotomising I need to undertake to change my mind!
Cheers cc

 

[Mike D]

If the totality of the "misdemeanours" against him don't tell ya something, I dunno what would. A most decided NO

 

[Blue and Silver]

I beg of the rumour gods.

Save us from De Goey, who has given us asunder and deliver unto us a Pavlich to Carlton rumour

I can see Collingwood paying more to keep him and Moore.
Who does it shake out?
T Phillips.
I would very happily take T Phillips.

 

[Navy blue whale]

I'm not keen on JDG. Think he's a great player but he has a bit too much baggage for my liking.

Don't need any bad influences around our young group. Not sure the players will take to him either, knowing all that is happening with JDG.

Look how divisive a mere rumour of trading for DeGoey is.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Boys will be boys
fu** sake
I’m not coping with this thread. Someone ban me before I get in big trouble.

JDG is a very good footballer. He may be innocent. He may be guilty.

We've come too far to take the chance. We have 2 teams in our club. #GameChangers matter. Half of our supporters are women and we have done a power of work to bring them back/in since we had a league low of 27% female support 5 years ago.

I'm going to stand beside our female players and supporters and not compromise principles to win football games.

 

[Zlatan]

With Williams over the line and Saad nominating us, any chance we’re looking at a small forward? Still the biggest hole in the list.

Just anyone that can lay a tackle in the forward 50 please.

Kemp?

 

[ForYouBlue]

In case it isn't obvious, you're all talking past each other...

 

[Jeremias]

Kemp?

A 193cm small forward would be extraordinary.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

A 193cm small forward would be extraordinary.

Surely doesn't have to be a small forward, to make tackles inside the 50?

 

[BrianSetzer]

I wonder if people's opinion will change if he kicks 5 and puts Collingwood in to a prelim..

 

[Jeremias]

All players should be applying pressure but it's generally the smaller types who excel in that area.

From all reports Kemp will start his career behind the ball.

Would make sense, given those we have delisted already.

Where do we find a small forward then? We rather lacking beyond Eddie, that's if he plays next year.

Imagine this. Carlton v Collingwood in next years granny. Hypothetically, player XYZ, a noted matchwinner, has been convicted of sexual assault, and given a non-custodial sentence. He is either (a) playing for Collingwood on around $800k annually, and they win the flag, (b) playing for Carlton on around $800k annually, and we win the flag, or (c) ineligible to play AFL due to the nature of the conviction (and the better team on the day wins).
Where are you most comfortable? For me it's (c). The AFL should take the lead and determine that persons convicted of certain criminal offences are ineligible to play in the AFL competition, for at least five years or perhaps life. Why should our peak industry body not show some leadership on important social issues? Leaving it to individual clubs is a cop out.

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Can Barass or someone come in here and make some shit up so we can stop talking about this? I can feel my braincells dying a slow, painful death as the page count grows.

This is almost too darn intelligent for this place

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Ok so back to regular programming. Do we think Lachie Hunter is a genuine chance? I rate him but as Arrow said earlier in thread looks a bit of an accumulator. Could delivering to our forwards instead of Josh Bruce actually help him?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Well Crippa has set a new bar for tall midfielders. We are groundbreakers.
