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...

Teague doesn’t rate Dow, will be traded, we’ll probably take a third rounder at this stage.

I don’t agree - but this what I’ve heard.

Steak knives sadly. Diesel doesn't mince his words - and they were damning.

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

If that is true, it would appear JDG is more interested in getting the maximum money than success.

 

[Kruezing]

Sorry didn’t mean it to come across offensive, was just commenting or expanding if you like that the motives weren’t really a mystery.

All good bro no offense taken at all just sharing a bit of info and mine is line with latest rumour re JDG long term deal offered by us around 6 years and he wants in ... so who knows ...

 

[Brezsa]

23 days to trade period. (18 days to free agency period)

So at 3 players a day, that’s 69 more players to be linked to. Exciting times!

Appreciate it, I was only half concentrating when reading these posts as I was busy watching my Lakers win another Championship

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)

I'd be asking about 2MP as well.
Our talls of Harry, 2MP and Charlie would be unstoppable.

I don’t agree - but this what I’ve heard.

I guess has had 3 years to show why he was a Pick 3, and hasn't. Probably has the problem of being in the same team as Sam Walsh, and being compared to him.

 

[ferrisb]

Any truth in the rumour * has asked the AFL to reduce list sizes to 8 players?

What’s the obsession with 2MP, he’s no good.

Being injured for most of this year and then only able to Mickey Mouse games in the 2’s, this year is a write off.

He showed enough early to keep him another year if all we’ll be getting is a third rounder. Effectively not losing anything by keeping on a very high end pick.

I’ll be incredibly disappointed if we accept that for him this year

So breaking down Barbazza's tweets ...

Not happening ...
JDG (we said no for a variety of reasons - Maybe if he had the "core values")
Merrett (doubtful)
Wines
Hunter
Dunkley

Still working on but unlikely ... Oliver (30/70 difficult to get done)

Crippa will re-sign before the end of the year. Harry will sign on too.

Looking at one or two more to come in. 500k - 650k mark. "Bargains" (not sure if it is a bargain on money or trade collateral). GWS, GC, Collingwood, Essendon or Richmond are the possible trade partners.

Higgins possibly.

We will trade pick 7.

We were interested in Brodie about a year ago. Probably not so much now.

 

[PattyCr1pps]

So we are not getting another A grade mid RIP

It seems improbable now that we will not recruit another a grade player, or at least break our wrists doing so.

By this do you mean we will get 1 more or we wont get any other A graders and will get a filler player?

if thats the list, then i would be pulling up stumps and going with internal growth.

Yeah i'm not sure I would want us to let him go yet, especially given how long we have allowed others to stay on our list. But he will have to show quite a bit in 2021, otherwise the club may have no choice but to trade him.

I don’t agree - but this what I’ve heard.

Hopefully Teague isn’t the deciding voice in list management. Ross Lyons words about cobblers and bakers fit here.

 

[F_therest]

This!

Makes me feel even more confident the club is in safe hands with Austin passing on JDG and not getting sucked into his hype/potential.

Williams & Saad are not just big names, but seem like guys who fit US specifically very well for what we need and the style of play we want for 2021. Both are competitors which is something Teague constantly mentions in his pressers, wanting players that compete and prepare well. JDG does not fit that description.

Tend to agree - hands aren't good enough on the lead, isn't quite strong enough in contested marking situations and doesn't seem to have any speed or be able to create separation around the ground. Not a good option

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Hoping the GWS bargain is Josh Kelly, we pay $650k whilst GWS & AFL pay the balance......

 

[Curnivore]

Based off what happened this year, I'd rather a player to support Cripps, as opposed to Hunter

Which is fine If you want to prioritize an extractor, but Hunter is not an easy possession leach.

 

[RoyalParade]

He was a norf supporter so norf would take him

 

[myblueroan]

That will remedy their culture problem.

What part of rebuild don't they understand!

Clubs don't recruit based on which team a player supports...

Well said.

Didn't Sheedy make a statement about us, "buying a list" the other day?
