Target players that you want in positions of need.
If those players aren't avaliable draft just like every other team, we are now 1 of the youngest lists in the competition but somehow we are desperate to just grab anyone avaliable.
The cap situation could easily be managed by any number of means including taking on a contract to obtain a young player we want or recruiting a free agent.
You did watch him on the weekend nearly carry port to the win over wet toast?... these are the type of people you want in the trenches with you, especially come finals time.. in saying that.. we don't need forwards atm..

Pluggs you cant be serious ... the days of the turn a blind eye on off field behaviour provided the on field stuff is top shelf has well and truely past.. and even when it was still acceptable that mentality has never been allowed at our club without damning critisism and negative results for the club...
you are right a player needs to be a good player first most but the AFL landscape is much more complex a drug scandal for a club like ours can be devistating, our sponsors we have to work so hard to get would run off in droves our profile in the media would be destroyed we dont have the luxury to be able to just wait out a scandal when we get caught up in one it bloody well sticks for a long long time.. so yeah it is important we do our due dilligance on a players background ...
as for our club being hollier , its not a case of that at all we are no differant to the majority of clubs in the AFL the thing is its more important for us as a club to keep our name clean due to the fact that it is significantly harder for the mud to be cleaned of us then other clubs
No, because he is signed sealed, and delivered.
We have now moved on to the bonus round.

i would have thought the AFL's illicit drug policy and now the much stricter ASADA penalties have put an end to turning a blind eye to off-field activity
as soon as a club drafts a player they're taking on a million dollar commitment to that player (development, resources, staff, wage, insurance etc.)
you just cant afford to be taking on a bloke who could be rubbed out for 4 years

2017 Trade & FA Targets Part 4 will be the greatest thread in the history of threads, as Trump would say "believe me"

We need a player like Stringer so I'm glad you agree with the idea. Drafting wont get us up the ladder. You have to add quality players as well as draft picks. We have drafted for the last 5 years with good picks and we seem to have hit a ceiling. Young list is the most overplayed words when hoping to improve. You have to have players who will reach A grade even on a young list. We may have one to 2 of those types. We need more so that is why we pay what we have to for Kelly and if that is gone you pick the potential next best and so on and so on. Next year we don't have 2 first rounders to bargain with and if we finish around midfield we are only 7 or 8 picks better off than the GF winning side. That isn't going to get it done. Conservative means we have no Carlisle and probably no Gresham. Hopefully the club aren't like what you seem to want.

I think it is extremely naiive for anyone to think that players at all clubs are involved in illicit drugs.
There a few celebrated cases at out club. To believe that St.Kilda doesn't have the same problems as the other clubs is just ludicrious.
How many players not in finals would be right on it as we speak?
How many of our players?

We took Carlisle. How has that effected us? It has but in a good way. This is about Stringer and as far as I know the only thing he has done wrong is split up from his misses. By the way who said turn a blind eye to off field behaviour? And if we using rumours then why did Sydney get Buddy and why didn't we get rid of chips. Why is Martin still at Richmond? Why was Hodge captain of Hawthorn so long? The only scandal I see in us getting Stringer is what we may have to pay for him. Hardly a scandal.

Tend to agree with this. Aside from Gresham we really lack someone with any sort of x-factor who can play forward and mid. You could argue Billings fits in this category but Stringer when he's on is an absolute match winner.
Add someone like Stringer and inject some speed & class into the midfield and our team becomes a lot more dangerous.

It's getting played out plugger we have a different approach to how we move forward.
If we landed Kelly then clearly we aren't drafting with those early picks so your willingness to take a risk changes.
I still wouldn't go near stringer if the dire warnings are right , if he's just a lad with a few attitude problems then yes of course I would.
If we get Kelly we need to bring in someone else of quality as well, who knows interesting times ahead.

There you go. Problem solved.

So are we celebrating this and collecting more of the same to keep the party going or do we just accept it's undesirable but inevitable.

I'm serious when I say I know nothing about dire warnings so you will have to tell me. Are they the same dire warnings that wrecked Hodge and Buddy's careers?
By the way Kelly is still one for me but I'm hearing he is gone. Stringer is a far better option than 2 young kids in an ordinary draft and by some margin IMO.
I've still got a headache from last Saturday nights sausage fest. I'm not going back until you boys organise a few ladies.
