Re: Gresham
If we give a pick around 13 for just Shiel then Ross and Silvagni need to be fired on the spot. That would be one of the most ridiculous trade deals ever. Ross does have a history of trading that screws over the Saints so I wouldn't put it past him. He was the man behind the rank stupidity that trad...

Re: The Worst Place To Be
I am not being pessimistic but everyone acknowledges we lack top end talent to really compete with the top 4 sides. The problem is we are not and never have been a destination club which means we either have to pay over the odds to bring players in compared to Collingwood, Richmond, Geelong etc... o...

Re: The Worst Place To Be
I am not woe is me at all. I enjoyed going to the football this year and I will enjoy next year not because I expect us to perform well because I simply don't. We are a mid table team and that is where we are destined to stay because we have no access to the talent we need to improve. It is just foo...

Re: Gresham
If we give up a FRDP for Shiel then Bassett should start firing the coaching and recruitment team. We should see if the cats would take pick 12 for Hawkins another key forward would be handy.

Re: The Worst Place To Be
We are in the worst place a poor club with no recruiting power can be. We have access to top end talent and have no way to bring it in unless we are willing to pay way over the top. We play a style of football that at times has bordered on the unwatchable. We have a coach with a proven record if he ...

Re: Free Agency Compo
That is completely correct.
If we are trying for pick 13 or even a pick at the end of the first round for Gresham then Jordan is off the table.

Re: Gresham
The Bowes deal only impacted the two clubs involved in the deal. This will push all other clubs picks after our first pick another position down. They are very different scenarios. I think the AFL would have no issue with us getting Shiels for Essendon to do a salary dump. It is the artificial valua...

Re: Gresham
If what people saying the deal is the AFL will never approve it. Artificially inflating a players worth to secure a higher draft compensation. If we were Brisbane, Sydney or Collingwood they would probably allow it but a trade that gives St Kilda a boost at the expense of GWS, brisbane, Collingwood ...

Re: Gresham
I don't understand why would Essendon do that deal it makes no sense unless they have a cap squeeze. It is being reported that they have about $2M free in the cap. They can get Gresham and McKay and keep Shiel for another couple of years and still not have an issue with their cap.

Re: Gresham
Unless the deal is we don't get his salary because Essendon supposedly have a lot of room in their cap.
So if the deal was we get Shiel for Gresham and room in our cap it might make sense.
I don't agree with it as I think Shiel is not the player we want or need.

Re: Astute trading
Dow I think improves us as he has the ball winning capabilities very similar to Crouch and Seb but with more pace than either. He is a bit of a ball butcher though. He is though a clearance player which is an area where we struggle. Henry I personally just don't see the value, outside runner with pa...

Re: No trades with swans
I just looked up the trade and we got 3 picks 5,13, and 48 and a handful of nothing players. That brought us Joel Smith who was a great player that we screwed over and Aussie Jones and we wasted pick 13.

Re: Would Ross Lyon make the difference at Melbourne?
Yes, because Ross has proven he can win premierships.
He is also proven to fix sides goal kicking and improve teams attacking capabilities.

Re: Keep Coffield
I agree we should keep him.
He has shown he has the talent, finished top 5 in B&F in 2020 when we made the finals.
He just needs to be able to stay on the park.
With his injury record the last couple of years we would get bugger all for him so his value is far higher for us to keep than trade.

Re: No trades with swans
Yeah Dempster, Schneider and Membrey were all disasters.
The Swans have been good and fair trade partners over many years and I would rather trade with them than many other clubs.

They do get to dictate to a degree because he is their player and not a free agent. Yes, he can walk to the pre-season draft but then he will end up at either North or across town at West Coast. It won't get him here. We will have to offer something they will want and if he is as good as people on h...

How closely have you watched him play or are you just going by stats? I have seen him play so not just by stats but I am not going to pretend I have studied him closely. From what I have seen his kicking is average at best certainly not elite as people are suggesting in my opinion. I think Saturday...
