Bluemour Melting Pot XXXII - Reaching fever pitch! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[Shambolic]

Time will only tell ... Petracca will be due a very big contract, same as Fritz if he continues to perform at these levels.

Petracca is in year 1 of a 7 year deal, but your point stands on the list overall

The trade and draft threads are over there somewhere

This is the bluemour thread peoples!

Dow skills were super late in the year, I know previously they were no good, combination of fatigue, nerves, maturity...but I've got hope he can resurrect his career. I disagree in regards to Kennedy, is a better mark than both Petracca and Martin, skills are pretty good as well. If he gets his tank right he will be an A grader.

Can I have some of whatever you are on.

 

[btdg]

Probably worth noting for discussion that Brander has played mostly on a wing... I guess he could convert to KPD or add depth as a ruck

 

[WFGodot]

No Rumours since Saturday... the quiet before the storm?

Don't expect Petracca to sign another contract any time soon - signed a 7 year deal earlier this season.

It was an example of what a flag does to list squeeze ... Petracca was a poor example since he signed a 6 year deal lol ... But others will be squeezed out ... So sub Petracca for oliver then ... signed only a 2 year extension until 2023 ... use that instead lol

 

[Large Hawaiian]

No contest on the haircut front, however...

Fritsch looks like he rode his bike to the game but forgot to take his helmet off.

 

[KohPhi]

A pick around 8 to 12 is his value be disappointed if we took anything less

 

[Kings of Lygon]

It might have happened once or twice out of desperation but Cole as a gal defender is hardly a long term solution. Same goes for Plowman.

It's happened much more than that. The point of the conversation is that a poster thinks the Brander thing feels fishy. I think Brander may see the writing on the wall and that he may have to wait a couple of years to get a key position spot at either end at WC due to their massive depth, whether that's 2nd tall forward or 3rd tall defender, it doesn't really matter.

WC played Rotham and Edwards in key defensive roles rather than switch Brander from a wing/promote him from the WAFL. They played Cole there too, whether that's as a 3rd tall or whatever it is, the fact remains they chose those players over Brander in a position that he clearly could have filled. I think he may not want to wait around for Darling, McGovern and Kennedy to retire and still find himself as a 'maybe option'. All the talk over he's this tall and all that is just nitpicking.

Substitute him for Oliver then .. the point was self inflated worth ... and cap squeeze, which will happen.

 

[Juice030103]

Gee I really hope we win a flag soon, don’t wanna wait 60 years like Dees and Dogs did. Don’t care if it’s a one year wonder, a flag is a flag. Hope the boys are having a mindset change

I live in Perth and most of my best mates are Eagles members - one was even on the coaching staff - and I just sent them a message saying what they thought of Tom Cole as a Key Defender…it was met with thunderous laughter…just stop now and I’ll forget you ever said it.

How good is Petracca going - remember when everyone said he was a flop of a pick? First 4 seasons were nothing overly special. Patience amongst supporters - the talent he had was always obvious. I'm sure we have a few who are capable of breaking out - maybe not to petraccas extent but break out nontheless.

paddy dow really should look at Petracca as a role model

I called him a star early on, and I reckon Dow has similar attributes. Dow does not however, have a big frame. If he hits the weights HARD this off season then watch out.

The age has just published an article by Jake Niall "why the blues can take heart from demons triumph"

Hoping someone can get around the paywall for us.

 

[Juddafideslenko]

Smells like a desperate attempt by WCE to " build" some sort of story, in an attempt to boost his trade value

Not really no

[BringBackSimmo]

Can we go after Boyd Woodcock? Simply because of his name, well Port Adelaide have yet to re-sign him. Plus we could probably use a smaller forward or two.

Talking small forwards, what's happened with Ben Cavarra

There was a pre-season game a few years ago where he towelled up Plowman -but we probably needed to see him do it against some serious opponents- so head to head against The Bont he’s the real deal.

Spot on. The pressure will be on all levels of the list. In fact I would say they’ll probably manage the top end well, but then there’ll be 10-15 premiership players all wanting (deserving) 30-50k a year more than they’d get without having won the flag.

 

[TommyPinch]

Even Tim O’Brien is a restricted free agent played both back and forward for hawks this year could we look at him as a third tall back ?

Would be handy depth. Still young enough to offer a few good years aswell.

Clarko would love to reunite with him .. oh wait
