Bluemour 'Silly Season' Edition XXXIV

[skadoosh]

Agree. Had the Cats fan not had as much correct info in the past I wouldnt have bothered posting.

Can you share which thread or sub-forum?

Sceptical (to say the least) that Selwood would base career decisions over that kind of relationship.

Geelong's weird, though. They absolutely base career decisions to become a part of that club and take less money, have less media involvement and just play footy.

Selwood is also something of a people person, and it wouldn't just be Busslinger that he mentors here. He was big into Sam Walsh predraft. He'd absolutely be a person I'd be interested to be involved in our footy department, as he doesn't give off the impression of being a player who did it all easy or flew through on talent and couldn't relate to the triers (unlike, for example, Nathan Buckley).

If it eventuates, I'm cautiously in favour.

The 3rd at Tasmania GC. This pic doesn't even show the best parts of this hole. A big dogleg around cliffs overlooking the bay. Best course in Tassie before Barnbougle came along.View attachment 1544499

Gosh I went left a lot of times as a junior golfer on that hole. Either that, or I’d spectacularly sky the ball and end up in just as much trouble!

Great hole though.

Is an AFL themed discord called AusFooty

 

[majesticseacapt]

A Geelong ITK from elsewhere has suggested that if a Vic club drafts Busslinger that he guarantees Joel Selwood will follow as an assistant coach and suggested that it'd most likely be us.

Any chance we can rookie Selwood? I reckon he might have one premiership left in him

The impression I get from Selwood is that he would be an unbelievably good get for us.

Some people are just good at creating success, it's like it follows them. He's one of those players. He's deeply entrenched in the most successful team of the last 20 years, their methods, their culture, their way of operating etc.

Our coaching and tactics as well as our leadership still has some growth ahead of it. We couldn't do any better than taking a bit from Geelong. I'd sure take their last 20 years over ours.

One thing for certain is that he's going to be up to his eyeballs in their training methods, game tactics, leadership skills, standards etc and the players are going to respect and listen to him.

 

[katmanblue]

Any additional context to how those 2 are linked to each other? Very strange rumour that one

Best mates* apparently

I reckon as a skills development coach, he would be in high demand. He wasn't the most skillful of his year, but he has made the most of his opportunity.

 

[Juddrockz]

Is Eddie Betts still coming home to coach as per earlier rumours?

 

[The Return of the Paf]

I'm confused; first it's Hayes, then we've told Busslinger it's not him because we are not going tall, then it's Hollands because it's a mutual love-in. Now it is Busslinger after all - help me!

There have been no promises to anyone.

Lots of rumours this time of year - always have been and will be

Different people will say different things. As this is a bluemour thread and we're devoid of our regular proven ITKs happy to pass along what I read or hear

The Hollands talk isn't a big deal. Lifelong Blues fan has a good interview with the club and is hopeful he lands at his dream destination if not with his brother.

The Selwood stuff is more airy fairy just because it sounds more ludicrous but the Cats ITK who shared it provided a near weekly tidbit on their club the past few years and has the runs on the board (e.g. always nailing team selection, Cats targets before published anywhere, etc. The other users assume its someone who works inside the club).

Oh for those interested on his take on TDK? They'd love to have him but "very happy at Carlton "

Spoke to a guy this morning at work that’s linked with Geelong and asked him about Selwood. His response was that Selwood has no interest in coaching.

[djw1952]

Agree the AFL events are way too sensational & over hyped, marketing and promotion take priority.

I think the soon to be retired (when?) Gil has an inferiority complex with the yanks spreading out their draft (not sure if it`s the basketball or football one) over a week or something like that, so he tries to put on an AFL draft for the ages....sorry Gil but I think you dropped the ball there.....what!!? it`s play on still, even after a great tackle!!! Must have changed the rules on the run again.....

What is this “just wait” that you speak of?

I agree Selwood would be good and yes Geelong have been very good but one thing I’m skeprical about is how they have managed to attract so many quality players and not blow their salary cap. Are those players really coming across and happy to play at reduced salaries for lifestyle and team success or is their something else going on in the background.

Stable and well run club, almost always play finals, different lifestyle opportunities available, seem to have a large percentage of the list who come from regional areas or non-capital cities, more affordable real estate.

More likely the real situation re Selwood.
