Bluemour Melting Pot XXVII

[TerryWallet]

All we need now is Trade Radio to add Grant Thomas to SOS and Rendell and we can have the pleasure of listening to the whole of the ol StKilda firm waffling on and pissing in each other's pocket.

The things we put ourselves thru because of footy addiction.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I’m just saying I feel that the club would want it done as a trade. An ITK has also stayed this

Yeah I agree, for sure we would... but at a fair price.

That's all we want and it seems clubs think they can screw us over... it would be irresponsible list management to cave in to Dodo's demands

 

[koutaaa]

Don’t agree with this.

We need to get the player managers on-side that we can get the deal done.

This is no different to what we would have done here. Clearly articulate to the Saad camp what we are prepared to include in a trade and ensure they were happy. It’s then a combined negotiation with Ess.

If we’re held hostage and don’t yield then thats no poor reflection on us and don’t think it will adversely impact a player coming across next year. sh*t we see players still requesting trades to Ess.

I couldn’t think of a player other than Jack Martin

nominating ess and then not getting there.. happy to be proven wrong though

 

[Blue and Blue]

Been at work...Guess it all happened yeah ?

 

[ParapMarkets]

We missed him by......this much an instead got McKay/CCurnow. Talk about dodging a bullet.

All the excitement about a player that can play everywhere.....yet really can't play anywhere.
I trust Kemp won't be like this.

It's weird to think about isn't it.
We were dead keen on him, I got swept up in the proposed trade and it didn't go through because GWS weren't keen, not because we pulled out. We 100% would have missed either Curnow or McKay if we had traded for Tomlinson.

 

[muzza99]

Wait until you see the size of the Essendon F/S's in 12 years time.

Instead we get Buckley, Bradley, McKay, Manton.....

Most will have two or three heads

 

[BIuebagger]

Been at work...Guess it all happened yeah ?

Yep! Bootsma and Cam O Shea made their return for Pick 8, can’t believe it

 

[ParapMarkets]

Been at work...Guess it all happened yeah ?

Yep, Oliver and Saad now Carlton players.
Rankine looking likely.

 

[HaydossJ]

Been at work...Guess it all happened yeah ?

Yep - Oliver has already moved in with Pavlich and O'Keefe

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I’m just saying I feel that the club would want it done as a trade. An ITK has also stayed this

I think that goes without saying. The club has shown that they are happy to deal, and happy to deal fairly.
Circumstances out of our control have made these deals more difficult.
A fair trade would absolutely be the desired outcome.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Been at work...Guess it all happened yeah ?

Wheels are in motion, words have been said, we know where we stand, a lot of water to go under the bridge.

According to sources.

 

[BrownDog20]

why make a player nominate if it was no chance?
You don’t get players to nominate unless a deal can get done. This is why I think they would want it as a trade

When a player nominates you have no control over what is current club is going to do.

 

[The Grover]

Where’s arrows post gone about Hind > Saad

 

[HARKER]

Imagine watching CCurnow at GWS whilst having Tomlinson plodding around with us.......in the reserves.

Kemp has a lot more grunt about him, so it's not a fair comparison....Really looking forward to Kemp...and CCurnow...oh...and Williams and Saad...and....

One day at a time.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

You will also have players that are hesitant to come over if they see your record of not being able to get trades done

No offence, but I think this is overstated. Players can see what's happening.
Our 'inability' to get Papley and Martin deals done didn't dissuade Saad or Williams (I know Williams didn't require a trade, but it could have if GWS matched, nor did it apparently make us less desirable).

 

[Matty411]

Saw that Hewett (SYD) was potentially on the table. Huge yes for me. Perfect Ed replacement and in that middle-bracket of cost.

Now thats the stuff Stig.

 

[HARKER]

...and Constable better than Cripps

I'm......in....trouble

 

[Skull Face]

over the last 10 Years other than Cripps, weitering, Walsh, Harry and Charlie name the standout players we have drafted with high picks?
Facts are we haven’t nailed many at all..

we just need to get the trade done

Where did the players that Richmond built a premiership around come from? Or Hawthorn? Or Geelong? Or anyone?

Draft builds premiership teams not trading 1st round picks for a HBF, infuriating people don't grasp this.

 

[DollarsandSense]

I’m hoping that the silence reflects that the conversation has been had with * and further conversations are being had with Saads management regarding PSD and with Melb re Oliver
**** you Do do.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

AFL site suggesting there are 19 deals still to be done

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

And how many first round picks have we added to the list since 2015?? There’s a happy medium...

 

[AT97]

Trade Radio currently discussing Collingwood father son & NGA pick ups.
FS: Daicos, Brown, Moore, Kelly & soon the other Daicos
NGA: Quanor

Yet we have been so unlucky and only have JSOS.

If you listen to rendell 17 other teams may as well not turn up next year.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Now thats the stuff Stig.

Spent the last 5 days with 4.5 million ballot papers and 3 bottles of Liquid Paper.

Got it done but.
