Bluemour 'Silly Season' Edition XXXIV

[LFTWNG11]

Cheers for that Forty3

As much as Paddy has apparently expressed interest in staying at the club and taking his chances, I honestly reckon it would be better for both Dow and Carlton if he had a fresh start at a new club. It hasn't really worked with us.

He's obviously not in Vossy's plans moving forward - and if Cunners can stay relatively injury free, and Carroll potentially having a break out year, he'll just get pushed further back. Not to mention Philp and even possibly Kemp.

I'm hoping we hang onto Setters - he shone at the back end of the season when he was thrown back into the engine room.

Hahaha, Dow would never be behind Philp ever. Philp would have to be one of the worst players on the list out of all listed players in the AFL.

Your having a mare here.

Philp if injuries permit will be a solid afl player, has every trait we are crying out for atm

 

[bmaurizio]

Club should trade or clear all three, Dow Fog & Setters. Clear the cap space and give us a little more mobility.

 

[Arr0w]

Think Setters range is 35-45, Dow 50-60

Nobody is trading for Fog.
Setters at least will be on a low contract if we keep him, can't imaging Dow is on too much either.

 

[Blue__Balls]

I believe Fogarty has a contract for next year.

Doesn't mean you can't trade him.

Personally, I'd have a chat with him about how unlikely he is to get any senior opportunity with us next year, and see if he'd be open to a move to a club like North Melbourne where he might get a look in. Just package him up for a slight pick upgrade and get his contract off the books.

Carlton get: Pick 55, Pick 66
NM get: Pick 62, Pick 64, Fogarty

just trade him for any pick, nths last pick, and take a swipe at some kid in the draft

Wouldn't clear much cap space clearing those three tbh.

I'd love to believe this but he looked incredibly fumbly this year and that was just in VFL, where there's much less pressure than AFL.

I'd hope it was just confidence, injury niggles & rustiness and I haven't written him off yet, but I'm certainly not holding my breath either.

He's good for the VFL side if nothing else

You don't keep players of that age on your list to be good VFL players

I'm assuming he got a 3 year deal when we traded him in. Only thing that makes sense with him not being delisted already.

 

[DrTrain]

Dow setters and 28 to * for 22 and 40. I think that’s a win for us and use 62 64 and 40 to Brisbane for 33. Akers for jones compo and we go to the draft with 10 22 and 33. End trade period.

 

[CJMB]

Wouldn't clear much cap space clearing those three tbh.

Can't image it being much under $700k, and could easily be above $800k...

Yeah, and if nobody wants him that's OK, but if he's not gonna get a senior game at all then we're better off getting him off the books and just recruiting a VFL-level midfielder to our VFL squad, there's no shortage of them floating around.

Will be interesting, actually, to see how we structure up in the midfield in the ressies next year. Hayes gone, sounds like one of Dow/Setters gone if we can get something back. Could/should mean a greater share of the midfield minutes for guys like Carroll, Kemp and Philp. Suppose Curnow is back in the mix after missing most of this year.

 

[Wickzki]

Hahaha, Dow would never be behind Philp ever. Philp would have to be one of the worst players on the list out of all listed players in the AFL.

What have you seen of Philp to remotely be able to quantify this statement? Because all I've seen is a player that has been held in high regard be unable to get a run at it.

He is contracted. If we can't find a suitor for him, then it's not a complete loss retaining him on the list as opposed to delisting him and paying him out.

How much was Bowes? Hmm food for thought.

The difference is that Dow in particular is keen to stay despite interest from other clubs. Which is one of Vossy's prerequisites.

Yeah, but if you drop three players from your list, you need to bring three more one. It's not like it frees up $800k for a gun.

 

[StaggerLee]

Mid late 3rd, thanks for your services and good luck - hope you go well elsewhere Dow.

I think unfortunately it is time for him to go.

But no matter what the pick offered is, does he still have to say yes as he is contracted?

Yes he does.

His initial 2 games in the AFL were bad enough. His fumbley, no composure performances in the VFL this year were even worse. He is also made of balsa wood. Will not be on the list when his contract expires, thankfully.

Yes

 

[ferrisb]

If contracted players didn't have to agree to trade deals, I would have been traded to the Gold Coast BF board years ago!
