Re: Dougal Howard has requested a trade to St Kilda

Wowza! Probably bad news for Brown. What’s he worth? Yep. Bad news for Brown who has been a warrior for the Saints. At the moment, we have nothing to trade except a player. Maybe the club will more than likely see how the Bruce and Steven trades play out hoping to get a pick they can on pass to Por...

Re: McCartin

I don’t know why afl clubs and players don’t have insurance for career ending injuries. Surely he can retire injured and receive a comensurate payout to cover his contract length and then some. If not, why not? Should be mandatory for all clubs and players. I’m pretty sure you need insurance to tak...

Re: AFL Equalisation Question

At the GF when they handed out the medals I applauded each Richmond player except Lynch. That Richmond recruited him was a disgrace. It made a mockery of free agency. The whole concept as explained by the AFL was that the "poor" clubs would benefit from free agency as the top clubs wouldn...

Re: Bruce Requests trade to Dogs

Starting to feel like we need a decent pick for Bruce now to get all these trades done.

Moved from it would be a great get (a good draft pick) to now a necessity!

If the Saints get pick 32 from the Bulldogs for Josh Bruce, who wants to be traded even though the Saints maintain he is a required player, then I’d on-trade that pick for Ryder. Bruce and Ryder have about the same trade worth given the value they will offer their new clubs. While the article is ge...
