by getting another F1 before Geelong and taking a top end draft pick and Baz.

Highly likely he will go to the ND as Geelong and WB won’t come to an agreement. GW pushing it.
He is aggressive. It’s a risk but could pay off in dividends. He backs the Charlie, Hansen and Austin link to get the best out of him.

He was the reason Collingwood and hawks won flags.

He was behind the Treloar and Grundy salary Dump trades which won them a flag.

Big watch this space should Geelong and dogs not come to an agreement.

Everyone needs to calm down. There are no trade targets or pulling rabbits out the hat.

It will be very quiet.

Houston very unlikely.

No room for owies even at the end of the trade period he won't be at Carlton next year.

#Bluemour

 

[Aphrodite]

In response to ‘Are we a chance of getting another first rounder with a F1?’

Yep we're a chance.

Our sole focus is on the draft.

Right or wrong (I'm personally in the wrong camp) that's the direction they want to head.

Clearly as everyone knows we would take Houston for the right price.

Strange timing on the pick trade with Haw.. Denver Granger-Barras was seen at the cafe inside Ikon earlier today.

#Bluemour

 

[Aphrodite]

In response the the

Interesting. I know we spoke with him several weeks ago

#Bluemour

 

[I bleed Blue]

From someone very close to Brodie. Brodie Kemp will likely play 3rd tall forward next year.




#Bluemour

 

[skadoosh]

This from a couple of reliable sources:,

It wasn't Carlton who reached out to West Coast.

It was West Coast that reached out to us regarding pick 12. We then asked the question.

[Revenant1965]

Message from early this morning (sorry, been playing Golf)

Club happy where they are so far but still alot that can play out
We are not sitting idle
Voss wants Houston but Austin/Lloyd has said at right price but is more unlikely than likely
No one really knows what will happen now but we are open to anything to improve our options and list NOW. Busiest trade period in years. Lots of swaps, trades will happen in next few days
Austin is speaking with everyone and happy to discuss anything. Wants minimum 2 picks in draft Top 20
We believe there will also be very good players available after trade period. A number of good players will be squeezed off lists
Kennedy some interest but it will be late. Owies the same. Young nothing

Blues and Eagles have agreed on Pick 12 & 14 for 3, 63,68 and a mid range pick that eagles will get in as part of player movement to cover F&S points. Expect announcement Tuesday.

Draft Target is currently Lalor over O’Sullivan but is close and strong debate internally - either way club extremely happy !

Believe 1 of those 2 players will go pick #1#1.

Lloyd wont be at club at end of 2025. Both parties agree time for change in that role.
Timing with wright being managed.

Rob Inness has reviewed Blues fitness program from last year - significant change coming in both weights room and core strength work …….. Players fit but bodies not match hard and some key list indicators well off Swans levels as a collective !

Enjoy 2025 - Internally very confident !

[myblueroan]

This is fantasy land stuff. Not happening. Three live options still being considered (none of them involve Moir)

1. Turn 12 and 14 into 3 and some extra Campo points
2. Take 12 and 14 to the draft
3. Trade 12 for Houston and take 14 to the draft (if Pies / Suns / Power falls over)

I rate the likelihood in that order.

Ta eric.

[ferrisb]

Asked the question about DGB

Response: looking at a number of tall key position options for later. He is one. Not locked on anyone yet

Ta Soapy.

#Bluemour

 

[skadoosh]

Re: Moir

Confidence that his contract (that is already to 2026) will be extended early and out to 2028 or 2029.

Club is super excited by him and looking at how they can better integrate him into the 23 moving forward.

#Bluemour

 

[Aphrodite]

Re: Houston

Any idea of what Port are accepting from us?

Pick 12 (and possibly a player)

#Bluemour

 

[ESKIE]

I think we get pick 3 now. Odds shortening considerably. Reckon it will be done by tomorrow morning.

#Bluemour

 

[myblueroan]

Is there a third club involved ? Thanks Eric for the tid bits !

Yes. But that’s all I’m prepared to say

#Bluemour

 

[bradfisher14]

In other news - Carlton have secured pick 3 from WCE

#Bluemour

 

[Bagger24]

Carlton will be asking the question of Petracca to the demons. Trac still wants to get to us and dees said they will not deal him under circumstances unless it involves a top 3 pick. Austin knows that if the draft is our number 1 priority that two top 15 picks is better then one top 3 pick in a super draft. This is a play to get Petracca. This will be extremely behind the scenes and media won’t catch onto it until late tomorrow or even after the deal happens. 3 and cerra is our offer

If it falls through we will try and get a lot off Adelaide to slide up to 3 from 4 and take Draper over us we will bluff them into Thinking we are taking him.

Kennedy gone.


#Bluemour

 

[skadoosh]

JSOS will be playing CHB in 2025

#Bluemour

 

[Aphrodite]

Kennedy trade has hit a snag. I repeat.

Kennedy trade has hit a snag.

#Bluemour

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Kennedy deal is back on. Done

He’s off to the Dogs tomorrow.



#Bluemour

 

[RPCB]

He hasn't let it fester. He's immediately knocked back the offer. Also, knowing SOS, he is probably using Kemp as a smoke screen to put pressure on other trades.
Can't see a way that Saints are actually serious about securing Kemp, at least this year, knowing full well, according to SOS' own rules, if you go after a contracted player, you gotta pay up.

#Bluemour

 

[skadoosh]

DGB & Phillips real options being considered. Interested in Charlie McCartin

J.Carroll knew weeks ago but hoping for trade. WCE cooled off after being interested

Durdin will be given chance to prove fitness over pre season after looking at options for soft tissue injuries. Much like Cerra

Pick 3 not moving. Pick 38 will be used on draft or moved to Future (is plan)

#Bluemour

 

[Aphrodite]

We’ve expressed interest in Noah Cumberland.

, Hamish Mclachlan and a guy by the name of Michael Voss….

Had a chat to most:

Voss-
Excited by the talent we get at pick 3, we will get a good one no matter who is there, not concerned about a ‘go home factor’ if we took Draper, said the good ones tend not to go home too much if they are at a big club and we will get well compensated if that were to occur. He was talking in specific response to my question regarding Draper and didn’t offer a great deal outside of that.

I also asked if Saad could move to a new role or could play elsewhere…. He said “ no he can’t run”, I specifically asked if he could go to half forward or wing and he said no he doesn’t have the running capacity to do either of those roles.

Barret-
Is of the opinion that we will take FOS, did not say why or how he came to this opinion, I asked him straight up & to give me 1 name and that was his answer, stating “I think they are very keen on him”

Buckley-
Tried to get a sneaky head nod or wink out of him regarding coaching Tassie, he was jovial but wouldn’t say too much about it other than ‘I shouldn’t be betting on that right now’, also thinks Blues may take FOS but pointed me over to Vossy to try and get info out of him.

They were all at the same table throughout the day, just thought I would share but interesting that FOS was offered up by 2 of them in separate conversations.

My tip= FOS
