Bluemour Melting Pot XXVII

[Mr_Plow]

I just realised that Saad is actually a very good football player. Great to add another A grader to our backline, Plowman sleeps easier knowing that there is someone faster than him to pick up the pieces when everyone else overcommits.

 

[Blue and Silver]

We offered this deal last week, didn't we?

It's fine.

Move on

There is no defending this trade, Austin should be looking for a new job. We have been saving up cap space for 5 years to use on two half back flankers.

 

[Cripptonite]

Folded which is disappointing but that’s the kind of deal you have to expect when you choose to deal with Essendon. We will probably do pick swaps to push up the order a bit this year.

Welcome Adam! He and Williams will be serious weapons off half back.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Wow if true we've just been bent over!

They haven't quite bent us over, but definitely smacked our wife on the ass as they walked past.

 

[fishncripps]

I'm clearly in the minority but I'm fine with this. Pick 12-13 for Saad essentially isn't too bad considering this may get pushed back to 14-16ish. 10 pick upgrade in 4th round is inconsequential Bottom line is we just picked up two A graders in the trade period - best period since Judd in my opinion. Bring on 2021!

No, you're not the only one, and to be quite frank I don't understand all the melts. Not only did Adam nominate us, which is fantastic, we've got the deal done for a fair and reasonable price. It was always going to be a first rounder, perhaps we had trouble splitting it for two lower picks and had to settle with 8.

It is what it is, and Adam is a great player in the perfect age bracket who WANTS to play for us. Don't need to develop him, don't need to hope he turns into a good player. He walks in a straight up starter and improves us. We didn't need to draft another kid with 8 this year IMHO

 

[Bostonian]

Lol, f*&cking settle down you lot. Pick 8 for Saad + a 3rd is fair.

That pick will then be on traded to get Fogerty.

So its really pick 8 for Saad and a good young kid.

Fair?

He's out of contract.

We're paying what you might pay if he still had 2 years left on a contract.

 

[rampar]

blinked.

 

[Omega Blue]

Well congratulations to the media campaign to screw Carlton. From day one there was a calculated media campaign to get * pick 8 and they achieved that. Carlton should have walked him to the PSD.

also traded to Carlton from Geelong as confirm Cockatoo to Brisbane for future third. @agerealfooty

 

[WeninRome]

Fair?

It's fair - don't blame the deal, blame the system that allows this sort of BS for RFA's.

 

[GudOnya]

lol, and I thought the melts last night were embarrassing.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Fogarty deal looks to be done too. Pick 51 and downgrading our pick 30 to pick 38.

 

[El Topo]

SOFT

 

[barass70]

Fogarty is also a done deal.. exchange of late picks

 

[BRADLESTICKS]

No excuse for not splitting the pick pathetic

 

[sweethoney]

 

[WeninRome]

Lachie Fogarty and pick 38 to Carlton for pick 30 and pick 51 to Geelong.

I can get around that.

 

[smashbox gill]

Fogarty is also a done deal.. exchange of late picks

why did we fold barass70

 

[Rustica]

Calm the f down you lot. Pick 8 which will be Pick 10-12 at draft night for a premier half back flanker and a kid with a pick upgrade is fair. Why is everyone so hellbent on winning every trade. We got the player we needed.

[BlueView]

Austin folded. Dodoro made him his BI*CH

Now we know how Crows fans felt when SOS did this to Justin Reid

Will he be known as young Austin from here on?

 

[Omega Blue]

Now the media is back pedalling, he'd go top 25 in this year's draft.

LOL.
Over-reaction much.

 

[Bostonian]

You do know pick 8 will be pushed back out of the top 10 after all the academy pushbacks right?

Yes we paid slight overs but hardly fleeced for a player very close to making the AA team.

He is a great pick up.

Yes I read that crap about picks being pushed back a lot.

It's irrelevant, we weren't getting those players anyway so where they go has no bearing on who we might take with the pick.

Using your view pick 48 becomes even more meaningless of a nothing pick back.
