Bluemour Season Blast Off Edition XXXIII

[raymagoo]

I’m all in for getting Young. If we could get Cerra Hewett Brander and Young, that’s a very solid offseason in a time of change

Would be an amazing result! I’d love ladhams too

If they weren't contracted it's doubtful Newnes and Setterfield would be on our list next year. Lucky them.

 

[Aphrodite]

Who said we are retaining Newnes? Or are you asking if we were to retain him, who goes? I say show him the door.

Ask Metalcrusher

Seems to be privy to player contracts.

 

[The Fantom]

Might be highly rated, but he has played an average of just 6 games over his 8 years in the league, not to mention he hasn't played for the last 2 years. Sadly his body just isn't meant for the rigours of AFL.

Highly rated means just that. All the opinions to delist Marchbank have me stumped. He deserves a chance to come back next year and the club won’t delist him. We’ll be such a better team if he comes good but suspect he probably has a year to do it.

Also look at Melbourne

Max Gawn 2 x ACL’s
Lever 2 x ACLS’s
Petracca 1 x ACL.

Hmmmm imagine they got rid of the blokes that did two ACL’s.

 

[raymagoo]

Apparently they've had a two year deal for him to sign for the past month but he is exploring his options. I like the 201cm size and he looks like he's got clean hands. I'd be keen to lure him away if possible.

Effectively a casboult replacement?

Just saw this. Seems Hamill is a big fan of Dunstan. Wonder if he'll be putting in the good word with Austin and Vossy...

I really hope not Matty, with Cerra and Hewett coming in along with our younger mids that should be given a better opportunity, i think we need to look at other list needs we seem to be limited atm with, our overall team list needs a better balance by the list management team…

 

[Cripptonite]

Young from the Bulldogs makes sense as a cheap pickup. He may not start as best 22 but he covers two positions where we need depth (Ruck and KPD). He has some senior experience, at 22 and at 202 cm he will be coming into his prime years. Austin would also have the inside word.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

My bet is probably O’Brien, hope not should have been given more games during the year which has unfortunately not given him proper run of development on the wing….

I’ll be absolutely livid if that happens, there is no way in this universe Newnes should be on the list before O’Brien

Not gunna happen…

Fair enough. Like I said, I’m not the list manager

I’d rather tell the both to find another club and pay their wages to play elsewhere. They offer nothing above average to our list, in fact while they are on the list they are stopping others with more potential from being developed.

 

[DEliades]

I wouldn’t give up on setters yet. I reckon he can turn it around

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Apparently reached a 'games played' trigger

flipping disgusting if that’s the case. Take away crucial development to give games to someone that is going to do absolutely nothing for the future of the football club let alone infinitely more in any of those games compared to someone much younger.

Interested in Lewis Young.

Romantically? Is he available?

Our senior list spots are a bit limited from players OOC, bunch of our rookies OOC, not many senior list spots available without loosing some that unfortunately need to be moved on…

All good, neither am i…

But my idea was good right ?

Lol this guy again

 

[teknodeejay]

Copied over from the Trade/Free Agency thread.

This also applies to attention seeking Twitter/Facebook/social media fan accounts.

Appreciate the clarification. Thanks

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Yep, and others…
New coach/assistants with an entirely new platform of values/system that will create a better environment for our players/list to play the game in the manner the game requires…

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

But my idea was good right ?

Anything’s possible…

 

[Blues_1864]

Marchbank is contracted and highly rated- he’s going nowhere.

I’d say it’s looking like Gibbons and Cottrell are definitely gone. Boyd and Parks could go either way. Would definitely be holding onto LOB and Ramsay though. We really lack that outside run, so it would be madness to let either of those two go.

Edit: If that’s true about Newnes triggering a contract extension, I have to say I’m disappointed by that if it squeezes out LOB or Ramsay. I get that role players like that were the key to Teague trying to save his job, but it’s time to get these kids in and see what they’ve got. We can’t keep drafting these kids, not playing them, and losing them for peanuts (or diabolically for nothing).

It could well be both. Senior-list spots are really tight. We still have 34 (including Newnes), plus at least 5 coming through trade and draft. We won't take more than 36 into 2022, so we still need to move at least 3... and we only have 4 uncontracted. Unfortunately, I think Gibbons is finished. The other two will have to come from SPS, LOB and Ramsay, unless we are able to find suitors for one or more of our contracted players, generous suitors who are prepared to give us draft picks.

I hope the Newnes trigger is fake news, but I can't see why Riley Beveridge would report it if it wasn't true. But I can understand why the Club would not, perhaps, be shouting the re-signing of Newnes from the rooftops.

Lever 2 x ACLS’s
Petracca 1 x ACL.

Good for them but it's not about doing an ACL, it's about him only playing 15+ games once in his 8 years in the league. Averaged just 5 games across the other 7 years, 4 of those years where he played just a combined 7 games.

I'd love for him to stay on the list, but I think we just need to be realistic about his future in the AFL.

Maybe so, but I guarantee you he at the very least sees out his contract. I’d be absolutely amazed if he was paid out and delisted.

Wouldn't be surprised if we rookie him.

than Adam Cerra?

Get excited about Cerra FFS - that surname is about as Lygon St as it gets!

 

[Dadda Dave]

Hmmm. I’m still not over Hamill leaving…

All good now ..he's back where he belongs
