Gresham was an X factor player who could do the occasional spectacular thing maybe Henry is the replacement for that.
However, he was an absolute ball butcher and that we have replaced with Paddy Dow who also has the elite disposal skills of a drunken baboon.

Re: Ins vs outs
Gresham vs Henry - little difference. Henry quicker both truly appalling kicks of the football. Billings vs Dow - Billings at his best is better than Dow but as Billings has been injured probably ahead with Dow. Coffield vs Draft pick - Injury impacted but when fit a top 10 player at the club vs a p...

Re: Dylan Shiel
Dylan Hannebery, welcome to the Saints, our latest superannuant. Well, at least he doesn’t come with a penchant for the nose beers, like old mate Hanners did lol Shiel is an outstanding citizen, and if I remember correctly is engaged to the daughter of Choco Williams. If surgery is keyhole meniscus...

Re: Dow officially nominates Saints
I think this is a positive move if we can get him for a third rounder.
Any more than that and it would be a pass in my opinion.

Re: Billings wants out
Ross rates effort over talent Byrnes is a power runner - honestly he runs around like a headless chook sometimes.

Re: Billings wants out
In all the gnashing of teeth over the probability of losing Billings, I haven't seen anybody explain coherently why he appears to be out of favour with the coaching panel? It cannot just be Lyon It has to also be Hayes, Harvey, Enright Goddard plus anybody else involved in the coaching/selection. I...

Re: Dylan Shiel
If the deal is just a 2nd round pick swap and they keeping Shield salary then fine. However, there is no incentive for Essendon to do that.
The only way this makes any sense for both parties is if we keep the Gresham compo and get Shiel and his salary for a third rounder.

I actually would like Collingwood to win. I have never had a problem with the club, I don't have the hatred for them that I do for Carlton, Essendon or Geelong.

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

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: 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: 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.

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.

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...
