Bluemour Melting Pot XXVII

[GT619]

So after not trading with Essendon for almost two decades, we have done it twice in consecutive years.

Hopefully never again

 

[BringBackSimmo]

I have a feeling both he and Williams will smash it in 2021.

Let's hope so.

 

[zeeCFC]

Willo will be what we hope LOB can best achieve. If a trade, for a pick under 40 comes up, I'd take it.

 

[GT619]

So do I, but we all know he is not a KPD

Could he play cc role up fwd/wing

 

[Arr0w]

McCartin has been mentioned as a possible Curnow backup. Would we consider the former gws/freo McCarthy or is he cooked?

McCartin might be a Charlie cover and might be a smart addition, but I worry for the kid lacing up again

Firm no to McCarthy, was cooked some time ago

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

People can justifiably say we paid overs for Saad but I think it’s also crucial not to lose sight of how bloody important he is for us. We are desperate for a player EXACTLY like him.

 

[El Topo]

I would only trade LOB for 2021 picks - an extra selection in the 20s could make a huge difference at trade time

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I wish my Carlton mail was as strong as my Port mail

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

going to say it again - the difference is that he tackles

Which is pretty much what I was saying with the defensive description.

 

[Arr0w]

Could he play cc role up fwd/wing

Possible, played some footy forward as a junior

 

[Stig O'Hara]

We got rid of a Silvagni today??

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Just had a quick look at Sydney's board apparently they are saying their salary cap is tight!!

Wow, if they are offloading him just for a meh pick for salary cap relief that's serious mismangement given they've been a bottom 6 team the last few years and in the last few years let go of Hanneberry and Jones.

Buddy contract still hurting? Sounds like a number of their players are being overpaid.

Then (hypothetically) how could they have brought Daniher in last year?

 

[Stickitupthem]

After last nights news on Charlie It was déjà vu every year these set backs happen and I’m over em
I’d like to say thank you to Austin and the team you’ve brought in 2 guns and possibly another in Fogarty with what we had in picks I think that’s overs in reality and I know Williams came free but he nominated us which is more important In the whole scheme of things keep it up well done

 

[BluesTragic]

Glad we moved from 87 to 78.....now were a big chance on Oliver

Or Wines

 

[rampar]

Still no help for cripps.

Two unaccountable attacking half backs.

Goodbye 5 goal opposition run ons, hello 7 goal opposition run ons.
IMHO of course

 

[thylacine60]

That's right I did. Because said poster was the one who was being a dick saying it wouldn't happen and come back if it did. So I did. Don't care anyway suspend or delete my account. Couldn't care less to be fair.

champ, cracking the sads on the dawn of a new era....move back to your previous position as a good poster.....leave the crystal ball stuff to the roma & temple......

 

[Coona Blues]

I don’t get we why we didn’t go to the draft and select saad with 8 if we were going to do this deal and Essendon get absolutely nothing, we don’t get that extra pick but i would hazard a guess we could have got Fogarty with a future 3/4

Same reason as why we have all of the melts on here. We could not guarantee getting Saad in the ND or the PSD with all of the players with picks before us. The bullsh1t that no one will take him without a medical is just that. We had to broker a deal. Like most I believe a second rounder back would be fairer, but it is what it is. Deal not spectacular, but not disgusting.

The bottom line is we will be a better team, we have gone beyond the draft reliance where high picks are paramount. Barring a “marlin” through free agency or rage defection it will be incremental from here. Our TPP will be strained and must be carefully managed and our list changes will be minimal.

We will take two picks in the draft, probably a ruck and a forward. The other read is that we are comfortable where we are at with KPD back up. I read this as someone is coming out of contract next year we have already on the hook.

 

[Kruezing]

Geez what are North paying for the spoon next year ? ...

 

[KnobHead]

Saad will smash it.

A trade where we exchanged pick 8 for two lower picks and gave up one for Saad would’ve been great, but am not that fussed.

If we drafted a kid with 8 and it didn’t work out we’d be a little disappointed but move on.

However, if we spend it on a very good player that will immediately improve us as we enter our finals window, it’s almost world’s end.

Know it’s been said repeatedly, but a pick is only a pick. How good that pick is for a club depends on the draft talent available (which changes yearly), and where you sit on the ladder - higher up on the ladder then the pick can be much better spent on a ready made player that can play finals.

My mail is that we are done unless clubs come a calling. JSOS, LOB, but expect them to stay.

McCartin as a delisted free agent? I hope so, worth the risk.

 

[skadoosh]

Our pick is now sitting with North

 

[CJMB]

[thylacine60]

If Saad rips it up in 2021, no one is even going to remember what his trade was worth.

Thankyou.

 

[Ockhams razor]

Several clubs have inquired, including the Pies, but LOB is a required player and not going anywhere. Things can change but extremely unlikely.

 

[F_therest]

Then (hypothetically) how could they have brought Daniher in last year?

Probably because they would have then released Papley is my guess.
