Bluemour Season Blast Off Edition XXXIII

[slashin_velvet]

All that to move up 2 spots in the draft?

An improvement is an improvement if we dont want to use pick 64 as a live pick. 64 doesnt have a lot of points value, so its not going to shuffle you massively up the board.

Firstly, I never said Mitchell was a better player than Petracca, there would be no hesitation who I’d choose if I were to have a choice. They are vastly different players.

My point in that post was, why would Sydney’s, Brisbane’s, Geelongs, even the Bulldogs and Ports midfields be better than ours, if we added Michell?

I don’t think it would be better than Melbourne’s fwiw, not unless Cripps got back to close to his best

No need to mention that Mitchell finished higher than Petracca in the brownlow then.
Has nothing to do with it.

Bulldogs midfield would still be better for sure.

Up to 6 of Carltons biggest stars have taken pay cuts to facilitate Cerra getting across to us per 7news

This really worries me. The fact that we needed people to take pay cuts to fit Cerra's contract says we're very tight on salary cap.

 

[koutaaa]

Yes… only 1 player refused a pay cut.

Trade them out!

It shouldn't - it's what all the best clubs do. This is a good thing!

 

[Jorge]

Asking players to take a pay cut and then leaking it that 1 player ‘refused’ is pretty shameful even if they aren’t named.

 

[bluekidjoe]

Yes… only 1 player refused a pay cut.

And was moved on?

 

[Aphrodite]

lol

Is that all you've got.

LOL

 

[Coops93]

Yes… only 1 player refused a pay cut.

and now plays for West Coast?

He's talking to us at a base level because that's the part of us that follows this game.

Part of me cringes but another part thinks having a twat for chair is something a lot of successful clubs have had (especially pies & hawks) in the last few years.
A passionate extrovert seems to drive engagement internally and externally, the trick is to get rid of them before the verbosity becomes a liability (also pies & hawks).

God Weitering is huge!

I think Marketing asked him to hide the quads in case he scared people.

It's what we should be doing when we've had some time at the top. Not while we're still rising.

Human nature is a funny thing - I only care about the bastard that wouldn't take a haircut LOL.

Seven players prob include Harry, Charlie, Williams, Saad, Cripps, Weiters, Martin
as long as Williams is one of them, I'm OK.

I'll say the piker was Saad - literally because I didn't like the way he congratulated Stocker after that goal. Ridiculous, but that's my theory and I'm sticking with it.

LOL

Further to previous news, Channel 7 (Brown & Cleary) going with Cerra's contract worth $650 - $700k.

By the end of trade week it will be 900K

Williams????

McGovern/Saad/Williams/Martin probably are the reason. three of those four $ being paid do not match performance.

I don't think Martin is on big money, only year on big money was the first year aside from that he was on $500k a year.

I'd say perhaps Williams or Saad is a fair guess considering we brought them in on big money only a year ago. Or Harry, considering he only just signed a new deal a few months ago. Taking a pay cut only 6 months later would be a bit odd.

 

[Wickzki]

Yes… only 1 player refused a pay cut.

So effectively Liddle was full of shit at mid year when he said we had room for 1-2 good players.

Players Shouldn't have had to take a pay cut for his statement to be true

 

[DangerousD]

Yes… only 1 player refused a pay cut.

Bloody Liddle

 

[Jorge]

Williams????

Would be ineligible for a pay cut as the salary promised dictated his free agency move

Wow.

If anyone had any concerns about Walshy, that should warm the cockles.

 

[GordonBlue]

Any links to Austin's interview?

Jake Niall reported earlier this week that Cerra’s contract wasn’t anywhere near the $750,000pa that was being bandied about, and that it was closer to $650,000 - he didn’t mention anything about paycuts to other players - if Tim Watson is spouting this I dare say it’s his usual “Carlton baiting”.
