Bluemour 'Silly Season' Edition XXXIV

Future second for current second

We missed ya 10 Cent P

 

[mrkyuss]

Wait, isn’t next years draft stronger and deeper . Already given up our third so not sure what the theory is here…

Future second for current second

Good.

This years top end doesn’t excite me much, but it looks fairly balanced.

There’s a clear directive to add young talent and Austin has historically done well in that range both at the Bulldogs and in his couple of drafts at the Blues.

 

[Accidental genius]

Might be this?

Reading through that It’s still not clear where the Top 10 pick we are offering is coming from?

The next years draft is always stronger but odds on we aren’t going to have a high pick anyway.

I’d love to grab a slider eg George in this one.

Shows that our window is 'now' and the club is fair dinkum about going for it next couple of years

In reading the article it actually sounds like we are trying to get as many picks in that mid-range to package up to get an earlier pick.

Do we maybe try to get the Pick 5 from Gold Coast for Pick 10 and a second rounder?

I’m not sold on the top end, but maybe we’re trying to grab a specific player. Similar to Port trading up to get Rozee in 2018.

Pretty sure he just said our picks are on the table
And then you had the media sensationalist mayo on top of that and hey presto, there's a headline

is coming to us

 

[La Dispute]

I can see us coming for Sheezal.

Basically be our version of Rozee in 2019, Perkins in 2020 or Rachele this year.

 

[Bletch]

Swap future 2nd for current 2nd doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I'm sure they've got reasons. Reasons.

Would be more like Stephenson for Pies in 2018 imo.

Austin today - 'We hope so we can challenge next year'

I think he's going to hit this draft hard as its full of quality role player types even if its lacking the outright match winners of past draft crops.

Same-same.

Half-forward with lots X-factor who can produce some good footy and challenges his direct opponent from the get go.

Been a while since we had that kind of player in the front half.

Go for some more meat and potatoes footballers with our later picks.

 

[KohPhi]

Any truth to the rumour Dow/Setters/Pick for Bailey Smith?

Yes.

 

[CJMB]

Yes.

Except a different footscray player, right?

Fish will be in choppy waters if Austin can swing this

 

[Wickzki]

My intel:

No names to report. Nobody has yet shaken loose that fits our salary slots and trade value.

Club likely shifting into facilitator mode. Helping others get trades done where we benefit for suitability.

After trading our first picks away recently this year is about accounting for list profile.

Reckon Owies would be the guy who’d make way.

Interesting to see how they manage to fit all of them in if that did happen.

Not sure adding a 2nd round pick is the difference between us challenging next year or not. But, ok. Just colour me doubtful.

 

[gbatman]

Our future second would have to come with something else, doubt any other club would want to trade out their current second for our future. Just what we add to that, who knows. Future second and pick 10, move up the order. Future second and Dow for an early second round pick? Future second and third rounder for another clubs second to try and get another pick in the top 30?

How many 2nds does Gold Coast have left? They need points for next year

Some teams need or value picks more for next year. Ie. Brisbane.

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

carlton4lyfe you disagree at everything I post, even when it’s just a bit of fun!! What’s your problem?

 

[Its an amigo!]

Bowes, Bruhn and Ollie Henry after winning the premiership? This upsets me.

3 talented young players to go along with the likes of SDK, Close, Holmes & Stengle. Suddenly their youth would look really good and they'll regenerate on the run, most likely still contending other the next few years.

Geelong are really well run, and I'm a bit jealous to be honest. Hopefully Cook can instill similar systems and professionalism at Carlton. With those players coming in I wonder if we can shake out a fringe player at all.

 

[Sickblue]

Perhaps we turn 28 and future second into an early teens pick. Or 10 and future second for a pick in the 5-7 range.
