Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVI - 'Loopy' Season in full swing

[Stamos]

Wonder if Port has any other targets this period?

Just Lukosious and Richards for them would be a bit underwhelming

They missed their 2 main targets.

They also don't have much in the way of picks to trade, currently only 36 & 54 this year, and then Futures.

 

[DollarsandSense]

That kills the sport of reposting a verified ITK post into bluemours for a massive like uptick
It’s a hotly contested sport at times

Also kills off any silly bugger commenting on a Bluemour. That’s my favourite…..

 

[AB_Blue]

Yup Cox would be an amazing addition , just the sort of luck we need.

He wouldn’t be a “dump” tho…he would demand a pick in the 15-30 range you would think

Freo don’t really need picks this year, so maybe a future second could get it done ?? You’d assume they would want a future first tho

Agreed, but there is still time for them to try and make something happen.

Top 4 team has got to be looking for that extra something to get them that little bit further

I don’t give a **** what we do I trust the club for once

 

[HarryFlashman]

Question for those with a greater all round list knowledge.

With everything going on, is there a good, proven small forward that could shake loose?

Owies lol

I'd assume any contract dump type deal would be free or better.
If that's not Freo/Cox then it's probably someone else.

Other than possibly Switkowski, not really. Even then he's more a high half forward. The market is bare.

 

[The Bighouse]

Bolton yet to nominate because there's uncertainty about Freo ability to get it done

9, 10 & 16. They can get it done easily, just need to give up the required picks for a big money, 4yr contracted player they want to entice to their club.

 

[Crippa#9]

Brennan Cox would be an excellent pick up for the salary dump for not too much trade capital. Dockers coped without him for most of the year. Would suit us to a tee.

I still think it's him. Suits a need for us, unlike Parish.

Freo have got a cap squeeze coming up big time given they'll be shuffling to find $1.5m/yr for Chad Warner next year.

Brayshaw & Alex Pearce out of contract end of next year. Serong end of 26'
They've signed Jackson & Darcy on million dollar + deals. Amiss & Treacy also recently signed on BIG $$.

Additionally, they already have solid cover in the KPD department: Pearce, Ryan, Draper is an emerging talent and last year they drafted All Australian u/18 last Ollie Murphy as a KPD.

Cumming & Perryman were on their list but lucked out.
Prob more importantly was their FA status.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Out of curiosity and into the vault, who would you take at our picks?

Big statement on those 2 …..

Trainor and Hotton if they are there.

 

[Arr0w]

Can't see the so called salary dump being Cox or an genuine inside mid

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

My guess is Darcy Parish.

Big contract. Seems to have fallen behind Durham and Caldwell in the pecking order. Bombers likely to take a mid at pick 8 before a bid on Kako.

Left field one, ? $3m left and 3 years. Dare I say it, would be a huge dump.

Any * Essendon member/supporter I speak to says “meh” when I mention name Parish.

Will Brodie?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Will Brodie?

Out of all the players we'd be freeing up cap space by trading Kennedy, why would it be for a worse version of Kennedy?

If we're trading Bam Bam for cap space it's to acquire a player who brings something different to the table, not more of the same

 

[ajs071]

Who is happy with Haynes+ DFA and possible multiple 1st round picks this year with a bit of pick swapping, I would be happy with that. We can still contend as well as adding youth to the squad.

Don't even think about it Austin!

Presumably because they donate to our draft pick fund in return for taking him (which it sounds like is the idea regardless of who it is)

 

[blues4flag]

If you go through their list they have a lot of draftees, rookies etc. They do it well

Yep. They've picked up 5 top 25 selections in the past 4 draft. We've picked one. Most of our recent selections have been around pick 30.

Soapys said we'd just be getting the player at a heavy discount, not a Bowes style pick coming with them

 

[ferrisb]

I mentioned Fiorini earlier but Soapy V ruled out inside mids

Fiorini is VERY outside. Career contested possession rate of 31.7%. As a reference point, Blaine Boekhorst was 30.0%.

This year he had a contested possession rate of 23.7%, which placed him in the 12th percentile of AFL players*. That's close to Lochie O'Brien territory (22.9%).



* looking at players who played at least 10 matches, averaged at least 15 disp a match and excluding rucks, key fwds, key backs. Does this filter make sense? NFI...

 

[swuzzlebubble]

I didn't see that detail but he did mention it wouldn't be a player that fits a specific need either (IE we're doing it for the deal)
