Our best recruiting period ever was in the early 60s, and it produced a flag. Our next best recruiting period was in the early part of this century, and it almost produced a flag, although the team that should have won it (2004/05) never made a GF (but led in both the PFs at three quarter time) and...

Further to my earlier post, I am confident that whoever goes at pick 5 will be a better player than Carlisle. Mathieson sounds like a taller version of Joel Sellwood. Francis sounds like BJ 2.0 and Parish sounds like an elite line breaking mid with skills. I see JC as a possible bonus if we can get...

Bluthy. You are the only person here that gets it. Good post. Chris? It amazes me the aggro that follows this guy. When you hear him talk there is an arrogance there that I think rubs people the wrong way. But the results speak for themselves. He's been an integral part of configuring two premiersh...

We have good ruck stocks in Hickey and Longer (who are both young). I don't think we should mess with that. Ross would have pretty good value, but I do think he'd have more at the end of next year. One of Ray/Geary/Gilbert as mentioned I'd be ok with. Do you think they can play in the one side thou...

Don't respond to my posts if you are going to talk crap. The cheats knew that he was a total liability. And it was up to us to work that out, not them. And I'm not the one talking crap. No one forces another player to your club. Obviously you don't know the meaning of being sold a pup. I know the m...

Gordo, I can appreciate where you are coming from given that we have been lied to (we played a role in that transaction by accepting the lies) in the last transaction we have with them. Having said that, I think, it would benefit us in the long term if we build a reputation for ourselves as fair tr...

Second rounder and Ross for Carlisle would be my hope Third round to pies for freeman Keep pick 5 They are OOC no need to deal so hard. All huff and puff from dickdoro!! He either accepts or take nothing! We'll pick him up in PSD. Carlton cant afford him. Actually no one can in front of us so whate...

Give them Jack S. We would be crazy to trade Jack Sinclair. He will be a very good player for us. I think he meant our other Jack S, Jack s***. nearly spat my coffee at this one. We have too many jack's but haven't heard much of this jack shite! Nuggetty little fellow? Bit of a turd the rumour goes.

It seems every player that wants to leave a club now nominates where they want to go. So we may as well have free agency for all players and make it open slather with no compensation. Just have that, the draft and salary cap and be done with it. It's all a big charade nowadays. By nominating a club...

He won't be any less of a captain without the title In our eyes as Saints fans you are correct, but it the broader footy world it would be a very significant record and shut up those arseholes at Carlscum! I'm doubting it will have any effect on anyone of any club. You seem more interested in tryin...

Forget Treloar and that comes from a well connected Saints employee 10 minutes ago.

Both Freeman and Carlisle are OOC. I too would prefer a player plus our second rounder for Carlisle. But will the Dons accept someone that we are ok to lose? I asked this many times but why does OOC mean so much all of a sudden. 90% of players traded are OOC and most if not all get true value. Its ...

Suggestion on trade radio saints pick 5 to Essendon for carlisle and bombers 2nd round (about pick 23) saints then on trade pick 23 to Collingwood for freeman. we get the 2 for pick 5 I don't think that's a good deal. Pick 5 is our chance to get an elite skilled mid we are crying out for. Instead w...

All we need now is to get Freeman across the line which should also happen. This is very good news indeed. Love the fact we are getting a 200 cm defender. Freeman probably closer than Carlisle as his pick will be easier to find or trade. Having said that we are obviously getting both and I reckon t...

And to top it off there are still the ASADA bans to come. I guess they are assuming they will be minimal. Belinda hasn't played well for a couple of years either according to the article so I hope it's just our second rounder and Seb for Carlisle. Since when did players leaving a club nominate anot...

Always said Roo until someone is really ready and Armo is really ready.

I think that height seems right to me but it wouldn't mean a thing as far as keeping or trading him.

It's no issue dropping Fisher, Geary, Gilbert or Delaney. Dempster and Savage deserve a spot and if Lee isn't traded, he is another that is in the mix. Geary and Gilbert can't kick or handball so they are hopefully way down the list. Preferably, off the list. So Lee, a seconds player, is in the mix...

Carlisle will nominate Saints as his club of choice tomorrow. Sounds like it for sure. Thought from the moment we showed all the interest we would get him and the same with Freeman. The question is what do we pay for them. I would still think we will pay a first rounder and get a second rounder in ...

Worth the risk.

Ordinary kick and slow. Sounds like our perfect player.
