Precisely. I'd rather pay Jack to live in Lorne next year on full pay than take that sh!t pick AND have to pay some of his salary.

I agree with this however I think we'll have to suck it up. Definitely should not pay his salary though.

Acres - a fair chance in the Hill deal. He definitely wants to go back to WA ummm not against it but how do you know he "defiantly wants to go"? Yeh I'm also curious about this. He has seemed pretty settled with the saints/in Melbourne for years now. It seems more like the saints looking ...

They offered Newnes a new deal and White had a good season in the lower level.

McKenzie trade?

No one wants McKenzie.

Anyone know the actual trade details?

Can someone explain why we want to swap Bruce for Jones? Nup. Have to ask Ratten or someone who is ITK. Just guessing, but Ryder coming in might have something to do with it? One of those guys needs to play forward a bit. Also Max King. The other thing I can think of is just a shifting of age profi...

Reports today that Ben has re-signed with Gold Coast. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2019/10/13/ ... st-edmund/

6, future second (28) AND Acres a 23yo WA 190cm mid who could be anything, and they say NO??? idiots. absolute idiots. Why would we offer acres?? thats WAY OVERS!! thabk you bell for not allowing us to be raped. 12 is fair. We will probably give 12 and Acres now. I hope we say 12 or gagf! 12 and Ac...

As somebody who with a torn meniscus, it's such an annoying injury. My knees have never fully recovered from it, and as you get older, it's a bit of a multiplication problem - your knees get shot anyway and the meniscus tear just means you never get back your true mobility. Hopes he recovers better...

I actually think he owes us a bit On a massive salary to play footy, we afforded him almost a season off to deal with his issues. What thanks do we get... a trade to Geelong for pick 52. I think he wasted his best years with us when there was really no hope of a premiership. I'm grateful to have se...

I went to the preseason game at Ballarat and at first was really happy to see what Paddy could do. I was so hopeful that it would finally work out. Then he got what looked like a pretty standard knock and was down. Someone in the crowd immediately commented "that is career ending" and that...

Also, maybe someone should demonstrate to Jack that Torquay is not an insurmountable distance from Moorabin.

Is it Torquay or Lorne?

B. King next year.

I guess that's the problem with trading future picks.

I really hope we don't bring in a bunch of mature average players. We just need quality. Nothing else will help.

I reckon Robbie Young has it in him, but probably isn't good enough to play every week.

He'll be of value to somebody. We just have too many of his type. And further to the McKenzie v Paton thread of a few months back, I think most are in the Paton camp. I'm in the Paton camp, but only because DMac has been there for a while and although has shown signs of some talent, he isn't consis...

Any trade whispers T74?

It should be much cheaper because the season is over and there will be new designs next year.

I had a peak at the cats forum the other day and the fans at least aren't keen on Jack. He's quite an underated player outside the saints and coming back unfit hasn't helped unfortunately. If Jack is at all happy to stay, it would certainly be better for the saints to keep him.

I interpret that as Tony's reply to "The Longer it takes, the more it may be a different person.".

So Ratts will get it? As soon as we announced he was coming as an assistant after the year we had under Richo last year, I assumed this was always the plan.

With the attitude he showed in the last few games, I have gone from no way would you trade him to I want him out. It's a really bad culture to have all these young kids developing in. Cut the cord.

If he has any trade value, we should trade him now. Terrible attitude and I'm sick of it. Yeh, he has some ability, but with this attitude and work ethic, we're going nowhere.

Can we sell the club to him? I hope so.

I’d be ok with giving Brown another year if he wants to play on, if only as a good backup.

Carlisle may have more talent, but Brown has easily been our best key defender this year. Absolutely deserves another year and I think we need him.
