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

[BigFrizz36]

I know this is just the media reporting which I have no doubt Ralph is on the money with Cerra nominating us within 48 hours. But I would be really disappointed is the report of us offering pick 6 and another pick even if it is our last pick in the 60's

Based on other similar trades I can understand Freo looking for more than pick 6. I would be if it was the other way around .

I'm sure that plenty here won't agree but I would offer them pick 6 and next years second provided they gave us their next years third in return. Be prepared to back ourself in.

that down grade is worth 50 points and a lot more in terms of Draft position. I'd rather give up 61 even though in points it's worth more

Cant say I’d be fussed either way as I don’t think either scenario as a huge issue when weighed up against getting Cerra or not

Just think Freo wouldn’t mind the optics on a swapping of 2nd round picks in their favour, rather than taking pick 61 anyway

 

[Mr_Plow]

I think he's firmly in the oversized man child who plays with the toughness of Gorringe basket but we'll see if Carlton gets him or not

The more I read about him, I see the same attributes and knocks on him as one Kristian Jaksch.

Offer pick 6 to Freo for Cerra.
If they say no, then tell them pick 6 is now off the table, Cerra will walk into the PSD and Freo will get nothing.
Freo then relents.
They had their chance.
They are then told to take the second rounder, take it or leave it.

 

[HaydossJ]

He has played 12 games for 13 goals and 39 tackles. Matt Owies has played 14 games for 15 goals and 39 tackles.

That's true, but for me, that's Owies' ceiling, whereas Cameron has a lot more to offer. Could be wrong, but just an eye-test opinion.

To bad the AFL trade period isn't the movie 'Draft Day'

This won’t happen. This never happens. This is now how things have ever worked.

6 is a great deal for Cerra. I can’t believe some here think otherwise. We would’ve been stoked to have him at 3 in 2017.

I suspect it’ll be 6 + F2 and some later fluff going either way.

Proven quality with scope for improvement >> players who may be quality in 2025.

would be fantastic. Small forwards are integral to system and we need a bit more forward pressure. I’d much prefer us to try and snatch him up than Brander. But if he wants to go to Brissy to play with Charlie then just leave it alone. Honey could then not play so deep either and become more of a creator at half forward

Or tigers offer pick 7 and he plays there.
And no player in the future is prepared to deal with us as we are seen as not capable of getting a deal done after making promises.

But at least we talk tough though!!

Yep and as Austin hangs up the phone he says “we now live in a different world than 2 days ago Bell you pancake eating mother****er”

 

[Gethelred]

Ok so like Ross Lyon was expected to be our coach?

I see you're a poster who appreciates facts. Hear there's a thread for that, instead of having a crack at people in a rumour thread speculating.

 

[katmanblue]

What help does he need?

Probably settling-in in a new environment.

 

[katmanblue]

I think he's firmly in the oversized man child who plays with the toughness of Gorringe basket but we'll see if Carlton gets him or not

I have a feeling (based on nothing but his availability) that this may be the case too.

Steven King to the Suns? Imagine the horror stories he'll have to tell now.

 

[Garters]

I really really felt for SPS, as apparently he had a fair struggle whilst up in the hub in 2020, being isolated and all. I can totally understand his personal decision to get back to WA, with all the border closures restricting movements between states due to covid, and don’t begrudge him whatsoever for seeking a trade.
He gave us 94 games of service and although posters viewed him as “lazy” and “conditional”, I believe it’s just due to his laconic nature.

Unfortunately sublime skill and talent will only get you so far in an elite sport as a lot of it is above the shoulders, and I just don’t think Samo’s head has been right since the beginning of 2020.

That match where he picked Crippa’s pocket against the Dogs was what a player of his calibre can produce when confident, but confidence is a fickle mistress, and you only have to be off your game 5-10% in an elite sports environment to fall behind the pack.

We don’t know what kind of struggles SPS is dealing with internally, but I hope the change of scenery is good for the young fella and he realises his full potential at another club.

Just so long as he stinks it up when he plays us, I’m fine with it, totally fine.

Straight swap for Brander seems the most logical trade scenario IMO. Both are underperforming former first rounders, and both fill a need.

Anyone expecting more for SPS is in lala land.

Well put

Newnes has a contract for 2022 per Riley Bev

EDIT: apparently he had a games trigger in his contract and met it this season so he is not OOC as some think

Good.

 

[Revenant1965]

With the Cameron probably to Brisbane - not that there are often 3 way trades - but is there someone from Brisbane that may be available?

BTW, I suspect it will simply be SPS for picks, and if Brander, picks back... Not jumping up and down enthusiastically for Brander, but he could be good depth. But if SPS wasn't going to WC, would we bother with Brander?

 

[Meddy43]

Soooo….any word on any assistant coaches? Surely we would out coaching group together for trade time. Or maybe I just want our coaching group together for trade time.

Brander does have a bit of a Henderson feel about him.

Yep. Gotta give to get.

 

[BigFrizz36]

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

Sorry Tim O'Brien is a definite no. List clogger who will be 28 before the season starts. Seems the sort to go to gold coast on a 2 year deal as his career peters out.
