Bluemour Melting Pot XXVII

[HBF]

False alarm, it was only a navy blue bath bomb.

My toddler just had an epic tantrum in the bath.
I think this is what it might have been....

 

[BIuebagger]

I personally think now Hewett is available, we should abandon the Fogarty chase and be going after him instead as he suits our need to replace Ed in the near future and provides some support in there for Cripps.

 

[smashbox gill]

I think our future 2nd for Fogarty and 38 works but I wouldn’t want to be doing essendons future 2nd which would be around 20

 

[Bokan]

So Fogarty hey ? He’s had calf, groin, hip, hamstring and ankle issues. And hip surgery on top of that. Can’t wait.

feels very lang/smedts esque - a top 30 pick who has injury concerns, a little on the small side, that can play multiple roles (small forward, mid, wing.) not sure how much of a fan i am of this, but will wait and see before passing judgement

 

[Brutalitops]

Yep hope Dunkley falls over at the last minute on Thursday.

Bonus points for using "comeuppance"

Thank you, but it should also be known that i never correct people who say "car muffins". That will never not be funny to me.

 

[BluesTragic]

Merret 2021 makes even more sense.

You wanna deal with Dodo again next year ??

 

[carlton09]

Not as bad as it sounds.
Could be upto 3 pick swaps included in the trade. Club looking to strengthen its hand come 20/21 draft. Smart dealing
Club knows what they are doing
Fogarty highly rated

 

[HBF]

Seriously looks like PSD for Saad. Anything to screw Dodoro. I'm sure we'd have a few allies with similar thoughts. Why this hasn't been done before now, I don't know. Time to take him out

The screw up of the Saad deal, the Daniher deal and most likely the Dunkley deal.
And keeping Fantasia on the list after he doesn't want to be there.
What a list manager * have on their hands.

Latest info:
Waiting on Ess to budge (which they will) and accept our offer of pick 8 and a future 3rd
Future 2nd back our way to be used for Fogarty.
Williams Saad Fogarty. Club happy to walk away Thursday night with that
Oliver 2021

So, to re-cap;

- We Picked up Williams because he nominated us and we gave him a contract that is well over his worth
- We are paying well overs for Saad because Dodo is to tough to handle and we declared our hand way to early by announcing it weeks out from Trade Week
- We are Paying overs for Fogarty who is worth a 4th round pick
- Oliver waits until next year which means it likely aint happening at all because players change their minds if a better over comes along.

Yeah, not really winning much are we. The best part of this trade period is that players want to come to us.
We had better perform next year to keep that interest.

Love your work. Fair to say there was a few melt downs

 

[Madblue]

Same was said about Papley....

 

[BlueTongue]

We do love a broken player

 

[Bostonian]

If we give up pick 8 we haven't maximised it's value at all.

 

[I bleed Blue]

How DARE you..

Goddam that's a funny movie

 

[Jeremias]

How can you possibly say that without knowing what is coming in the opposite direction?

 

[I bleed Blue]

How have we not split Pick 8 yet? Because it would hurt Essendon's feelings?

There is no good will to maintain there. Liddle and Austin should be looking after our backyard as a priority.

Oh yeah, and fu** Essendon!

Should have had something lined up for a pick split day 1.

 

[katmanblue]

Is a future 2nd * for Fogs overs???


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Probably our future 2nd. Be around pick 28-32.

 

[GudOnya]

Geez there's a lot of melting on here this time of year. Have some faith people.

 

[BrownDog20]

No it doesn't. Next year is next year and he may get used to playing at the Dees again or find another club if we don't perform as expected in 2021.
You have to do these things when the opportunity is there. I would be shifting heaven & earth to find picks for Melbourne even if it means we go without for 2 years.

Oliver can want to come to us all he wants. Dees are not trading him this year no matter what Oliver wants.

 

[Bostonian]

How can you possibly say that without knowing what is coming in the opposite direction?

Because I don't care about all this points crap?

We should have offered our second round for him and told them if you don't like it, too bad.

He's out of contract and we're paying a top 10 pick him. Ludicrous.

Originally I wasn't against it, but the longer it's gone on the more I'm against it.

 

[katmanblue]

Bare in Mind there is a plan to swap picks around to sweeten the ledger.
Expect it all to go down Thursday evening. I dont have the full outline but it starts somewhere there

Plan B please.

You know for a fact we are paying a top ten pick straight up for Saad do you?

To paraphrase one of the Geelong posters he said 'I'm sure Wells just recruits these duds to **** with Carltons mind'

 

[Brutalitops]

Of course. As a supporter I want the club to be always targeting best talent and best fit for our squad. Hes gettable so I want the club to get him.

I dont care if they have trepidation. Thats their job so they can bloody well get their hands dirty and get him over to us. For the right price. Plus hes an uncontracted RFA. Make the right offer and get him for free. Dodoro aint shit. Stop being scared of him.

 

[Bostonian]

Nope, but it's a discussion board isn't it.

I can discuss the stupidity of us using pick 8 in any deal for him can I not?
