Bluemour 'Silly Season' Edition XXXIV

[Manhattanite]

Surely not our future first rounder as next years first round is supposed to bat much deeper than this years, as they are raving about how many great under 17 year old kids there are coming through and quite a few of them played in the championships that Vic metro just won. Hang onto our first Austin!!!

It’s been clarified he means future second

Bailey Smith has been in very high level discussions with his manager. Watch this space.

Bingo reckon Tom may be the mystery surprise packet, much loved indeed, a bold & aggressive move to test the water with Tom, he could turn out to be a an exceptional tall or just a huge flashy utility. Not sure of his contract status? Can someone confirm?

New Year's Eve!? Phwoar, I knew TDK had potential, but inventing a time machine!? We've got a good one there, folks.

 

[gbatman]

I reckon we will be looking at a forward with an early pick, I still think we lack that forward who has speed, xfactor, ability to kick goals out of nothing, plenty of attitude, plenty of competitiveness, natural forward craft etc. A forward mid type would be ideal, but not super important. We have a group who are ok but no one apart from Motlop really standing out. You add the next Papley, Cameron, Stengle, Heeney, Bolton, Greene, Breust, Pickett, Ginnivan etc to the Carlton list, it's something we don't have, it's the next hole in the team after the wing has been plugged up. You find a player who is a definite best 22 selection on the forward flank or pocket and that takes us forward IMO.

IMO our forward line lacks attitude and a player who can really light a spark and fire things up there as well as having an impact when it counts.

You can't have too many level headed well spoken nice guys in a team. When the team runs out and finds themselves just going through the motions and is in need of someone to create a bit of heat and liven thing sup we don't have that player. A lot of good sides have a forward who can do this and we don't really. Silvagni kind of.

Bailey Humphrey

Like this guy, but he’s around the range for our current first round pick.

Not the worst fall back option though.

I thought Austin was supposed to be interested in Phillipou according to rumours on here?

 

[RoyalBlues]

Yes, and Hotton and Hollands.

So if other teams draft alphabetically, we could get Humphrey (or Phillipou if the current order doesn’t change).

I think as picks are split and traded, the likely order becomes clearer (eg WCE positioning themselves to take a WA player with Port’s current pick 8 - for Ginbey, Busslinger or Gilbey).

This is likely encouraging Austin to try for a higher pick.

 

[La Dispute]

Phillipou looks too similar to Carroll IMO.

Would rather draft for need with some of the players available in our current range.

Hotton looks like a neat player, but he’d surely slip into the second round though might not make it to our pick.

 

[TENACIOUS]

I swear Silvagni is underrated because of his name now.

Must be watching a different player because IMO he’s easily beat 22.

Ideally he plays more permanent 3rd tall forward… like the… Gunston type role.

More like overrated because of his name...
But at this stage x7 years into his career and he's at his best an adequate player...

I like JSOS as much as the next person and hope he's the one that becomes the player we need, love how he gives his all each week...
But also like to call it as I see it...

As a goal kicker and a ruckman, which has been his role this last 2 year, he hasn't excelled at either...
We are in need of another forward of forward/ruck because JSOS isn't cutting it yet...

Agree he should just play forward, if he doesn't increase his goal kicking, he could be looking at stints in the VFL...
He will have competition for his spot, TDK (Curnow 3rd tall), Kemp, any drafted tall forwards and maybe McGovern if we need the defender spot

Hard to kick a lot of goals if you are mostly used as the link player between the arcs. Used as a backup ruck out of necessity more than anything.

If we are in need of another forward/ruck, why hasn't the club came out and stated that? Or traded for it.

Some won't agree with this, but if you look at the player votes on big footy, in the autopsy part just after a game (admittedly emotions are higher then), Jsos normally gets a lot, because when you watch the game live, he is body over the ball doing the team things when others are sitting back. Stats will never convey that part of his game very well, but he certainly passes the eye test most of the time

 

[TENACIOUS]

So would i, make them use more picks.

Last year north didnt bid on Daicos because they wanted JHF to be the no.1 draft pick.....just dumb. And daicos was annoyed becasue he didnt go no.1.....

they want the prestige (which measn sfa but their own ego)

#1 draft pick gets $$$ from NAB and the prestige of going at #1...
He will get bid on at 2...

 

[LanceRomance]

I do wonder if JHF's ego can get under control.

This isn't singles tennis, it's a team sport.
