If anyone has forgotten how good billings is,please go watch quarter 4 against the Bulldogs in round 6. It still amazes me how good he was in that final change

How's this sound?

6 and our 2nd next year for

GC (3) and their 2nd next year.

They would be hopeful of finals next year after a shocker this year. Could see them rise from a low 30s to a low 20s. Gives us a shot at parish.

On another note: if they lose Dixon, do they still go for parish? They have an abundance of outside skill, maybe they need another tall?

Or am I drunk?

That is a fantastic suggestion.
I feel that to trade up to pick 3 we may have to give up a little bit more, but in reality I think landing Parish at 3 would make it worth while. We need elite top end talent and if trading away a 2nd rounder next year means we nail our first pick this year than so be it! Assume the 2nd rounder next year is equivalent to Ross/Wright/White. In reality it's a well calculated punt.
I'd do - 6 and 2nd next year (27-28?) for GC 3 and 37 this year. GC would be confident of landing say Weitering or Curnow at 6 if they want a forward to replace Dixon.
Go to draft with
3 - Parish
37
42
69 - Sinclair

Could always look to upgrade 37 and 42 for a pick in the late 20's too.

With some people interested in Cam Oshea from Port Adelaide would Andrew Moore (trade whispers on afl site) be any interest to us, due to connection with Alan Richardson? High draft pick a few years ago.

 

[Periphery]

Fyfe? Get Shiel as he becomes the 1st of the 6 year Free Agents in the pool.

But if we couldn't convince him to come this year what hope do we have later on?

E:

I suppose a few factors would be how they develop over the next two years, how they structure pays when the extra salary cap is reeled in, how close we are to flag and how homesick they are. At the moment, especially around the time Shiel signed for example, GWS were flying - it would be a bad look for the established player such as Shiel to leave the up and coming side just for money.

That's why I haven't completely given up on Kelly as he hasn't completely established himself in the side as a bone fide midfielder.

 

[Nicholas]

I think the saints should draft Lachlan Keeffe from Collingwood.
I know he is suspended but we can get him for a cheep pick and when his suspension is over we will have a ready made FB or CHB

Weitering goes number 2, no chance he lasts to 6

 

[Persevering Saint]

Just did. Glorious. Just flipping glorious. And the scary thing is that he didn't just kick those three goals to finish with four for the match - he missed two other pretty easy opportunities! AND he was instrumental in about four other scores.

You don't trade that.

No chance drug cheat

Sorry meant Weidering the other 'W' theme who's a forward that would have gone higher (presumably) if not for the reported injuries etc..

Just for his name.

Well we know the Pies wont take him unless he makes it to the rookie draft...

Will be 26 next year and 27 before he can play again though. Not sure that really helps us when we have Keys in the VFL already and could draft a Mitch Brown type if we wanted a senior KPD.

Would prefer we roll the dice on Collins or Skinner if we can draft them.

 

[BrayBlades]

Which is essentially rating Ross as a second rounder, therefore the offer of Ross + our second rounder for your first rounder is not as ridiculous as you seem to make it out to be. Using your theory it would be the equivalent of 2 x Second round picks, for your First round selection.

Second rounder at BEST and as I said would probably not slide into our starting 22 so why would we trade away our first pick for a player who would mainly play VFL?

 

[hayes]

No chance drug cheat

So you're not happy with Saad being on our list?

 

[BrayBlades]

That's his value in that trade...[/QUOTE\]
But he wouldn't play ones footy at the tigers so again why would we trade for him?

 

[Mowman]

So you're not happy with Saad being on our list?

Really ?

 

[BRUUUUCE]

Saad was a bit different keefe was deliberate cheating

 

[Punter!]

Weideman

That's the one!

 

[TheJackal]

I can understand the comment.

The argument would be that Keeffe unknowingly took a banned substance due to a dodgy batch of drugs laced with it. So really, Keeffe is as much a drug 'cheat' as Saad in my opinion, which to clarify it if that doesn't make sense - neither are drug 'cheats'.

A drug cheat would surely be someone who knowingly takes something illegal to improve their performance - both can be argued as being unlucky, although, Keeffe is a fool for doing drugs and I wouldn't be interested in getting him even in 2018.

Don't fall for that line of crap, what drug dealer laces a cheap drug with an expensive muscle builder?

 

[The_Book_Of_Eli43]

My personal thoughts

Retire:
Adam Schneider (R) - Confirmed

Delist:
Tom Simpkin - All but certain you'd think
Arryn Siposs - See Simpkin
Spencer White - I'd definitely keep him around but it is looking unlikely that will happen

Possible trade bait options: (Although some not worth much if anything):
Josh Saunders
Jarryn Geary - Love Jarryn but his disposal is shocking!
Farren Ray - Assuming he gets a two year deal somewhere else
Tom Curren

Elevate:
Jack Sinclair - Confirmed

Re-sign:
Lewis Pierce - I have no doubt he'll be re-signed imo.
Daniel Markworth - One more year and that's it. Why stand by him for four years and then give up on him after it appears he is over the injuries? (touch wood). Worth giving him one more season

I don't know the first thing about drugs, costs or otherwise. Assumed that most drugs are laced with something to make it go further hence more profit for the dealer but didn't realise the banned substance they were tested for was expensive.

Go to your local gym and try and buy some "Bute" and then ask why they would lace a $20 eccy with it
