Saints uncontracted players beyound this year

[saynta]

From heraldsun.com.au

"St Kilda (14): Josh Battle, Jack Bytel, Tom Campbell (unrestricted free agent), Dan Hannebery, Tom Highmore, Darragh Joyce (unrestricted free agent), Dean Kent, Jarrod Lienert (unrestricted free agent), Ben Long, Ben Paton, Jack Peris, Paddy Ryder, Mason Wood (unrestricted free agent).

Dan Butler inked a fresh two-year arrangement on Tuesday, while new multi-season deals for Paton and Battle are imminent. Long seems to perennially be talked about as a trade target but talks are also underway for him to extend his stay at Moorabbin. Ryder wants to play on in 2023, while ex-Roo Wood is on track to play 20 games this year and should go around again. Fit-again Hannebery is in contention for an AFL call-up this week or next and a strong finish could earn him another year on the list. Lienert hopes he has done enough to extend his career for at least one more season after signing in the pre-season, and Highmore continues to perform at VFL level despite limited chances above."

Keep:
Battle, Highmore, Bytel, Paton, Wood, Ryder
Peris - rookie
For right deal :
Long, Lienert, Campbell
Thanks for service - Joyce, Kent

Hannebery - IF he doesn't get injured between now and round 23 ( assuming no finals) then 1 year minimum wages with incentives for each game he plays . While seems low reality if his Medical costs will outweigh his contract

Seems spot on to me

A guy on FB claiming ITK status that Billings didn't respond well to getting dropped. Speculation is all we have but I always wondered what his character was like and if he was the type to throw the toys out of the cot or would he respond in the right way after getting back in the team.

It won't surprise me if he's told his manager to find him a new club and has put himself in preservation mode for the remaining games.

So Brad Hill still has 3 years, I just realised. Means our premiership window is wide open for quite a while. Somewhat of a relief given the unkind things some commentators have been saying about our list.

Straight swap for Brayshaw - #3 draft pick for #3 draft pick.

You know it's funny MM I've wondered if the club would be apprehensive about recruiting a guy with a history of serious concussion. What message would it send to Paddy.

Valid point.

This poster didn't respond well to Billings getting dropped, selection integrity is important for culture and team harmony.

[skeptic]

I’ve heard as well that Bytel is unhappy with the coaching direction that he’s gotten and is intending to seek at trade at season’s end.

I’d hate to see him go personally. Not that he’s established per’se but IMO it’s rare that someone does the tough stuff as much as early as he started. Kid is a tacking machine. Needs more spread in his game not there is a lot there to like.

I don't think the club would be too concerned about losing Bytel as we have too many of the same type of midfilderrs as it is, I.e inside slow plodding bulls. We desperately need to get a line breaking goal kicking A grader in the midfield.

The best thing for the club would be is if Bytel came in this week and played well for the remaining 5 matches and raised his attractiveness to potential suiters.

Paton has been given a new 2 year contract.

As has Sharman.

Highlighted players - de-list, retire, move on.
Rookie list Bytel if they think there is still something there to potentially make it and also Wood & Lienert as depth if deemed necessary.

A bit concerning Battle hasn't been re-signed already.

If they loose Battle it will be the worst mistake the club has made in list management since letting Bruce walk.

Bruce really?

How many kicks did he get against the saints recently? 2 wasn't it.?

I know you are really big on human rights and people having choice so....yeah!

We effectively swapped Bruce for Jones and a bit of spare change fell out of the pocket.

I don't think Bruce is better than a B grade player, but he would be a handy 2nd tall in our forward line right now whilst Jones is running around at Sandringham.

I'd take Bruce over Jones any day of the week.

[kosifantutti]

Sharman and Paton extended to 2024.

[PADDLEPOP1001]

I hope Battle doesn’t go will be close to top 5 in our B&F,local boy starts to deliver after being badly utilised by our coaching dept,get it done saints!

[tony74]

Essendon are very interested in Bytel

[Yorkeys]

Be a shame. We have invested a lot and he is just coming good. Good size and quick hands.
Much prefer to lose Jones even though not like for like.

[saynta]

Essendon are very interested in Bytel

Not surprised. Pity we aren't.

Shouldn't deal with those pricks though.

[1971]

Surely Bytel is a keep with our aging midfield?
