There's question marks with health so it's risky. He wouldn't come cheap.

Just out of interest, can we play all of Carlisle, Goddard, Fisher, Dempster, Webster, Geary, Roberton and Savage in 2016?

People get too carried away with 'inside goss'. At the end of the day, everything that really matters comes out in public. It's just a question of being patient.

Spot on Bunk. Clarke would be regretting he ever put pen to paper after the backlash he is receiving.

Thank you Ameet

This story is gathering steam and I wouldn't mind if the club officially went on record saying "under no circumstances will Jack Billings be traded." And, if there is any truth to it, its membership microwaving time. Exactly the club needs to get on the front foot and show some authority ...

Just for kicks and giggles.

I think we will see a bottom 4 team make it to a prelim given Sydney's injury state. Will be good to watch them tumble in straight sets.

I cannot believe Jay Clarke gave the Billings talk the time of day.

Priddis wasn't in the team last year. Seeing as the Brownlow is a game by game analysis and the AA team is more of a 'general feeling' test, I think that says enough.

If Armo's form was backward so that he finished the year the way he started it, he'd be in.

It has been pointed out above that Markworth was taken at a pick that is the draft was not compromised would have been about 50. Well both Newnes and Webster were taken after Markworth, he was preferred by the club to them. He must have had something that caught our recruiters eye. A pity the club ...

Whilst I have stuff all interest in Sandy these days I think delisting these guys before an elimination final is a bit tough on them and even the other players that will play in the game, both Saints and Sandy.

Agree

We could take a calculated risk and trade our first round pick for next year. This would require a lot of confidence by the club that we will not drop off next year and, best possible scenario, if we pull of a Bulldogs we will be rejoicing. I'm not sure that our ladder position is that safe though. ...

I'll spew if we get either, or both of Carlisle & Bennell. Stick to the draft Saints... we don't need either, we are not in contention for the flag for next year. Its not the 'missing' part we need - like it was with the Lovett situation. Do not give up pick 5 saints. Pick up a midfielder, we s...

I don't know if he'd be interested TBH, Richo has shown zero interest in him, made it very clear that he's not in his plans… the whole thing has been very disappointing.

How has he made that clear?

The guy literally hasn't had a chance.

We will have a few horses in this race you would hope. If Goddard, McKenzie and Acres are all nominated then you would say our future is sound. McCartin is a sneaky chance too, but most seem to think he will be a slow and steady progress type. Can't see any of our guys winning it, although Goddard w...

I hope they don't delist Markworth.

Surely it would be a first that a team is awarded a priority pick when they didn't finish last? 2007, Carlton picked up Kreuzer with a PP after tigers finished bottom. Carlton had picks 1 and 3, traded 3 for Judd (Masten) along with Josh Kennedy. Tigers picked Cotchin at pick 2. Clearly in the best...

I'd like to think these short contract extensions subconsciously ingrain the belief that if they do not work their ass off in the off-season and then translate that work onto on-field performance that they wont get a game. By that same thought process, I'm worried that that long contract given to A...

i see those in the know on bigfooty are saying we are not interested but i am hearing quite the contrary from my guy. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Also we are definitely in to Kelly. The Kelly rumour is certainly persistent, but it has not appeared at all in the mainstream media. ...

We have to take this chance. Get them both and get them cheaply. Proven full back and proven goalkicking speedster??? Exactly what we need. I believe in reiwoldt richo hammil etc to be able to change the little prick. If we want flags we need bennell. I too think Bennell and Carlisle would from a p...
