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...

Think I just did

Won't make it as a flanker, needs to be lead to the ball, hence a run with ish role

Think that's pretty straightforward as an assessment

But I’ve seen posts trade him, which makes me think your being disingenuous

 

[BrownDog20]

How often do Richmond's defenders sh** their pants panic and butcher the ball or give away an unnecessary free kick? Plowman does it more in one game than their whole team in a BQ1197season. I'm picking on him but Jones is almost as bad and Williamson is heading that way. Weitering has stopped doing it as much as he used to.

Jones is the worst by a mile.
I cringe when he is looking for a short kick in D50

 

[Arr0w]

But I’ve seen posts trade him, which makes me think your being disingenuous

Me suggesting to trade him? Sure, if it fits the right deal

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Take out the guys off to other clubs and its slim pickin's.

Thats what I was thinking, most of them have new homes already.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

It's a sliding scale.

Mate is good.
Buddy is sarcastic.
Champ is outright aggressive.

And if someone calls you neighbour, get ready to run in another direction.

Can’t believe you left out Pal
Much more aggressive than Champ, Pal

 

[agro]

Looking forward to seeing them revived. You started the statistics conversation, you must have them handy.

sorry they were posted here not on BF, Weitering &Jones of course we know are outstanding one on one.

Id certainly take a look at Cox and Witherden.

 

[Arr0w]

Wondering if the mystery player is still a Demon's player, maybe OOC?

Spargo
Hunt
Another?

 

[Jabba73]

So we have three of the top seven defenders left in one-on-one contests in the AFL.

An indictment on what is happening up the field, and a miracle our percentage isn’t in the toilet.

A mystery is a riddle
Riddle rhymes with Liddle
Liddle worked at the Tigers
Tigers are Cats
Duncan plays for the Cats

It‘s happening people!!!

. I wanted him in his draft year, and I want him now.

He is the ultimate collateral, should Cripps ever choose to leave or be injured for any amount of time. His issue - taken from the Geelong board - is that his disposal is not up to their standards, but given their game - moving the ball suuuuper slowly by foot, whilst having no room inside a stoppage for a player not named Duncan, Dangerfield, Selwood or Ablett - it's unsurprising he's not up to their standards outside of what he does well.

So, get it done. He could result being a magnificent 2's player; he could wind up getting 40+ disposals and kicking 3 on GF day. What he is is a 191cm inside mid, who's not as good as Cripps is in terms of fitness or 360 awareness, but is a much better mark.

I could very much get on board with that. If Oliver is unattainable, I hope we look there.

That didn’t take long. No notation of season? Rounds? Opponents?

I note that these are all key defender with the exception of Rampe. Plow gets quicker, more dynamic forwards with very few potential chop outs. The big fella fight an arm wrestle, punch and it’s done more often than not.

This is an interesting though not particularly poignant data set given the actually outliers are Rampe and Plow. And Rampe is credited as one of the best Swan defenders of all time.

 

[TerryWallet]

Not much belief left in the Cuningham jar for mine. He is about to turn 24 and still a mile off AFL standard. His best is easily good enough, but you just can't bring your best twice a year and virtually disappear in the others. His reliability is just terrible.

I really don't think we can waste more time on this big a tease. He's had ample time to work out ways to impact a game in various ways but still in far too many he produces close to zilch. He's not good enough to compete against most good midfields, and he's not smart/driven enough to find ways to contribute elsewhere.

At 19 i had belief, at 20 i had belief, at 21 i started to waver, at 22 i really started to waver, at 23 i'm pretty convinced. I'd be moving on to the Dow, Stocker, Philp, Honey, Kemp types to give them the same shot that Cunners has had. There is every chance a few of them will take their chance and be better contributers than him. Imo.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Haha people still bagging Plowman?

Spanked the likes of Papley, Cameron and Walters, yet want to cherry pick a game, qtr here or there?

Staggering

Why do we want Papley if he cant even beat the likes of Lachie Plowman?

 

[Dadda Dave]

wonder if she'll show bazz some clemency?

I think it will be a stern talking to at the very least.

 

[Arr0w]

Well just tells you how good Plow is then

i didnt create the graph, just pointing out where id seen it.

If you want poignant perhaps you can dig up an old VHS of Love Story.

Bud is ok hey boys is arrogant

 

[BlueFlagger]

Bit late to the party on the F2G rumour but any chance the mystery player is de goey and that’s why he said he’s not overly happy about it due to the baggage he somewhat brings over?

I think JDG has agreed to terms for 2 years at Filth.

Look at it this way.. He’s a top of the line list clogger though

His preseason form in year 4 had me believe he'd arrived, but 2 seasons later and he still hasn't produced. Fortunate to have another 2 years, given next year should be make or break for him.

 

[The Bighouse]

I didn't buy this comment on the radio the other day "Mcgovern was a better player at Adelaide"
Never seen anything to suggest he is anything other than an ordinary player ay either club

Hmmm, the old played a blinder vs us springs to mind. Was there at AO and he was pretty good that evening.
