Re: 2023 trade period

Freo list boss said to AFL Trade Radio that Saints and Dockers are a fair way off Liam Henry. 'Won't be happening any time soon' SOS said he gets on well with Dockers List boss and thinks we could strike a fair deal, but we'll see Its day 1 a lot of tough talking to happen .

Re: Keep Coffield

Why do supporters feel the need to be happy when the club cuts a player who isn't rated but some then feel the need to criticize a player when he says he wants to leave - significant double standards. I was one hoping to keep Coffield and him getting back to what we saw when he finished 5th in B&...

Re: Dylan Shiel

Pick 8 has to come into play for this to appear legit. Essendon offer Gresh 3 x $850 with triggers and we get 13. Essendon dump Shiel, $1.6m deal and 8 for 13. Deal done. Essendon free up $1.6 to secure Gresh with a 1st round compo and receive change because he is worth $1.8 for 3 and they will onl...

Re: 2023 trade period

As good a player as Oliver is he is another inside mid. A starting midfield of Steele , Crouch and Oliver sounds good but all would likely lose a race with Ro to the edge of the square, all tough in and under not explosive which i think we need. Based on what you would have to give up not worth it. ...

Re: Gresham

People saying no to this deal do not seem to understand it... If approved by the AFL and agreed by Essendon, then the deal is St. kilda: Out: Gresham, Pick 50 In: Pick 13, Shiel Essendon: Out: Shiel and his high salary In: Gresham + pick 50 The pick 13 is created by free agency. So it looks to me l...

Re: Gresham

There is no way we would be handing over the 1st round compo pick for Shiel. By taking his salary I would think a 2nd round pick at best. Deal makes sense; Saints Get - 1st round pick, Shiel Lose - Gresham, 2nd round pick and Shiels salary. Essendon Get - Gresham. 2nd round pick, salary dump Lose -...

Re: Keep Coffield

Threatening to become the 2020' version of Tom Lynch (Adel). First round pick, showed a bit , difference here is early he had opportunity and 2020 was a great year. Injuries hurt from there, but seems the club happy to let him walk to WB. Webster is 30 so who fills that role in the next year or so ....

One advantage of 7th

Just realised over the weekend one advantage of a 1st round loss rather than second round loss in finals is it puts us in middle 6 bracket for the draw in 2024.

Sydney, WB, Adel, ess, Geel ,

as opposed to Coll, Bris, Melb, port, GWS, Carl

Obviously always want to win but is a small upside.

Unfortunately, which was a trend of the time the players picked and those taken in trade were not quality.

Re: Pick #10

We need a selection in 18-30 for Henry from Freo. I previously had flagged something like this using a second round pick comp if Gresh left which would add 200 points to GC. and get us higher up the first round. I don't think we will be involved in such swaps and i get nervous with the history SOS h...

Will be interesting to see what happens. If you believe what you hear on radio top 11 inc 3 GC academy players , are clear of the rest and then bit of a lottery.

Re: Bytel

Don't have an issue with the delisting, especially as we need to make some tough calls on those players 25-35.

4 gone, maybe a couple more via trade or delist but need to find that sweet spot between clean out and losing depth

I wonder if Melbourne will look at him seeing Dunstan did his ACL . Richo is there and he is a similar player but younger and will provide them depth. Will be interesting.
