Re: Liam Henry

Has he re-signed? Would you like to have a guess why Hint It’s not because he wants to stay! Gresham has just had his season exit meeting. "St Kilda’s Jade Gresham has just wrapped up his exit meeting with Ross Lyon and other football staff. There isn’t a contract offer on the table but he has...

Re: Post-match analysis

What a great year. If you told me we were playing finals at the beginning of the year i would have laughed yet we did. As for the game GWS were better. That's it, we were out played by a better team. They took out our big weapons and moved the ball too quickly for us. All the young guys got a taste...

Re: rumours

Yeah but 155 games at 28 years of age isn’t great for top 3 pick. Billings is one of the biggest busts of all time I would think the names such as Tambling, Fiora , Dow, Scache,O'Royrke, Jack Trengove, Jack Watts, would all well and truely be listed above Billings in the term"biggest Busts of ...

Re: Liam Henry

If free agent it is all based around the deal he gets which determines what the compensation is. This is then adjusted to how many times the club pissed off the AFL during the year and what they are likely to bring in financially in the future

2023 first step to success

Good nights sleep and calm head it is clear to me the progress that was made this year was a foundation step towards sustainable finals appearances. If you compare 2020 with 2023 teams one was there for a quick hit ,, this one is in front of the natural curve and for the future. Looking at yesterday...

Re: Liam Henry

saying between 15-25 will be required. Probably depends what happens with Gresham to some extent. Always have futures too, OOC actually helps as we have seen puts player in a powerful position.

Re: Coff

Now I ask Liam Stocker Why did they get him? And has he more upside than the two aforementioned In Coffield’s case, I don’t think so, no. I reckon he’s potentially elite and I don’t see that in Stocker yet. Problem with players such as Coffield is that the club has made an investment in him. Not ju...

Re: Coff

Has had a horror run with injury , on way back mid season and does a calf. No way could have played this year after that at afl level. Was a top 10 pick and top 5 in B & F so compensation would want to be reasonable. Be at pains to see him go before others . Just because another club enquirers d...

Re: EX-SAINTS OF THE LAST DECADE AT OTHER CLUBS

Agree with most. Stanley was a mistake - never really tried as a ruck properly at Stkilda. Made worse drafting Goddard at 21 who didn't work out at all. Names such as Steele, Touk Miller, Maynard, Mitch McGovern, Dougal Howard, Langdon drafted afterwards doesnt help - also that stanley is now a Pre...

Re: What price Liam Henry?

interesting in recent times this type of player and time line sees a similar pick to where they were originally selected.

My guess would cost a late first rounder ?
