Bluemour Melting Pot XXVII

[ferrisb]

If you thought the melts were big here after the Saad deal went through, the Collingwood board is about to go nuclear after that trade.

If BF crashes shortly, this is why...

 

[SurreyBlue]

You're making me to have a look...damn it.

 

[jooce8891]

You're making me to have a look...damn it.

it's worth it honestly

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

It will come down to pre season form...Betts will shine playing in Melbourne.

Murphy will be the one to struggle for regular 22 imo.

And maybe even Ed.

Betts is cooked IMO. We saw that this year. He may show one or two glimpses of the old Eddie, but we'll see what he showed most of this season which was not a lot.

Murphy will play every game except for injury. Guaranteed. The former club captain isnt going to get shafted to the twos.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Remember our melts here?

Away for a wee look at their board.

 

[thylacine60]

Haha yeah. Good time to check it out.

There has to be more to Stephenson for it to work out like this.

And to think, there were people on here angry we didn't take him.

Slept with teammates wife?
Hit the missus?
Brawled with police?
Indecent assault?
Left pregnant wife for some rando?
Glassed that rando in the face with a wineglass?
On the nose beers big time?

Well, which is it?

Court character reference for Jason Moran?

Ch7 friday night commentator with Bruce?

How do you mean shafted?
Let's just pick our best team without any bias this year. Much better way to go about things for the whole.

And maybe even Ed.

both still firmly in the best 22 for me. Ed will come top handful in the 2020 BnF. Guys like Dow, SPS etc need to force them out

"Just emailed club letting know of my disgust and have requested the cancellation of my memberships & won't renew until Ed & Bucks are gone...."

It’s all pitchforks and burning memberships over there.

I couldn’t even keep up with reading the pages it was melting so fast.

[Navara79]

So the bomb was on the pies board that shut this site down!

 

[thylacine60]

BF crashed for me just after the Stephenson news hit.

 

[Ash24]

Well, it looks like that's the end of trade period for us. Here is my best 22. Thoughts?

FB - Plowman, Jones, Newman

HB - Docherty, Weitering, Saad

M - Williamson, Cripps, Petrevski-Seton

HF - Martin, C. Curnow?, Gibbons

FF - Betts, McKay, Fisher

FOL - De Koning, Walsh, Williams

I/C - Casboult, E. Curnow, Setterfield, Newnes

Williams I see playing a mix of mid/half back, Casboult I see being our swingman through defence/ruck/forward, and Walsh I see playing a mix of wing/on ball. Newnes although just hanging on to his spot, should play on a forward flank delivering the ball inside 50.


DEPTH PLAYERS:
Pittonet - I don't think TDK will play the whole season himself. For those bigger opponents where strength is needed, I back in Pitto. When we need some athleticism I prefer De Koning.

Kennedy - Don't want to be too slow in the midfield. He will be the one to replace Cripps, Ed, or Setters from an injury.

JSOS - Don't want to be too tall up forward. Will be the one to replace Harry, Charlie, or Levi from an injury.

Cuningham - Should be played only as a midfielder where possible, but lack of opportunity hurts him. Could replace any of our outside mids/small forwards from an injury.

Marchbank - Missed almost 2 years from his neck and then knee injury. Don't want to rush him into it, and probably not a walk in start.

McGovern - I think he has some real talent, and could be a dangerous 3rd tall. But, it's time to stick your finger out mate and put in some effort. Play for the jumper and show that you're worth the $800k per year.

Murphy - Really tough but I can’t justify swapping him for anyone else, possibly Newnes just to get that senior experience, but we don't really need him. We have good depth folks.

Dow, O'Brien, Stocker, Kemp, Cottrell, Philp, Honey, Owies - I see it as only a big positive if they can push out the older guys. That includes Murphy is he starts, Betts, and even Ed Curnow. If they're good enough and better than those blokes, go for it and put some trust into them. Dow and O'Brien are on their last chances this year to make a serious impact at senior level.

If BF crashes shortly, the Stephenson trade is why...

OMG! NEK MINNUT!

 

[Kalimblues]

BF couldn't handle a full scale Collingwood melt.

 

[an unbiased carlton man]

Ahhhh please don't go through Dunkley - I would love to see the absolute melts on the Essendon board - also, how good did Norf do with the pickup of Atu and Stephenson?!

 

[Kramer1]

BF crashed for me just after the Stephenson news hit.

The pies board breaking records...first virtual environment to register on the richter scale.

 

[Blue and Blue]

I'm not one to check other teams boards but the Collingwood one was very amusing.

Just one gem below;

"Burn the f****** place down, I'm done!"

One black half tooth and the rest missing....great stuff

 

[ESKIE]

Something rotten at the Pies..

 

[jj1978]

Respect for Buckley has gone lower... seriously you'd say that to a 21 year old... basically "you havn't opened up enough, get out!"... how about you teach your young players life skills and how to open up instead of focusing on only their football capabilities. Same with Trealor, a lot of the rumours now about what was told him now sound pretty viable.

Collingwood could save a penny or two by sacking FIGJAM.

 

[BIuebagger]

Stephenson told he might be up for trade and the club didn’t communicate further until he reached out. That’s terrible communication from figureheads at the Pies. Esp when he’s contracted for another 3 seasons.

I’d be leaving out chooklotto Charlie for the moment and replace him with Gov/Kennedy or SOS
