Sincs has the potential to be best 22 but isn't consistent enough IMO.Sinclair is easily best 22.
Not sure he'll get there given what he has produced over the last 3 to 4 years but who knows.

Terrible idea. Really terrible
A builder though can remunerate a carpenter at a level that gives them an expectation that he is available for work at all times. Some do, some don’t.Restriction of trade is nowhere near as clear cut towards players as people make out.
Think of the AFL as a big franchise.
Players are free to perform a job in any capacity at any time outside that franchise.
Restricting movement within the franchise is NOT akin to , for example, stopping a qualified carpenter from getting another job as a carpenter.
Rugby Union at the highest level is pretty good in this regard. I think you might be surprised how much AFL clubs are gleaning from opposition codes.Seems like a bit of a gimmick to me. The NRL has always lagged behind the AFL in terms of professionalism and sports science so I’m not sure what he brings to the table.
Happy to be proven wrong though.
It's no gimmick. Nick Maxwell went over to Melbourne Storm and did a similar role for a few years and it quite successful.Seems like a bit of a gimmick to me. The NRL has always lagged behind the AFL in terms of professionalism and sports science so I’m not sure what he brings to the table.

As is evidenced by our inability to recruit A grade talent with cash, we are not getting to the summit any other way.
Steven, whilst in our best two or three players, isn't our most important in terms of structure or marketability, and, as I previously said, will not be around when we are contending again so whilst he is worth something, let's get that.
My previous scenario stays the same but we could live trade 15 and 18 for a future 1st?
Needs to have a look at how Scully plays. Where to run, holding space etc.Sincs has the potential to be best 22 but isn't consistent enough IMO.

Would get on board with this.Realistically Steven isn't around when we are next contending and Bruce is expendable imo. So.....
Steven to Geelong for 12
Lonie and Bruce to Collingwood for 18
Go to the draft with 4, 12, 18 and 28
On draft night, trade 4 and 28 to Port Adelaide for 6, 10 and 15.
Leaves us with 6, 10, 12, 15 and 18.
Probably unpopular but if we are going to do this, we may as well do it properly.

It says nothing at all there about Essendon or any other club knowing about the video before the trade. Essendon and St Kilda were both contacted by the same person on the same late afternoon AFTER the trade had been lodged with the video. Only after that did Jake’s management come clean on knowing about the videos existance before the trade paperwork was lodged.
It’s not a sore spot at all, our club has been rightfully made out to be unprofessional and a laughing stock on numerous occasions, but on this occasion the narrative of everyone pulling the wool over our eyes is simply untrue.
I’m glad no clubs knew before the trade was lodged because Buckets is the most important player at our club, both onfield and off. A Saint of the highest order.
Seems to polarise posters on here, personally I think he’s an absolute gun who can take the next step and be an A grade player.Sincs has the potential to be best 22 but isn't consistent enough IMO.

I like him when hes kicking goals not behinds. But when hes not kicking goals he's not doing much else.Not sold on Skunk?? Gun player for me. Interestingly he is our quickest player and quicker than Adam Saad and JJ. Be havoc for a defender to try and match up on a guy 188cm with a great leap and a too speed of 34.6..
Those player rankings are a bit of crap. At the moment Sinclair isn’t a top 10. Needs to work harder during gamesSeems to polarise posters on here, personally I think he’s an absolute gun who can take the next step and be an A grade player.
He’s one of 4 saints players ranked in the AFL top 100 so clearly he’s doing something right, imo if he could add another 5-10 possessions a week and kick a few more goals he’ll make that jump.
My criticism of him is that like billing’s he doesn’t demand the ball enough and is happy to let some of our ball butchers take precedence. That’s also part of our teams problems we don’t use our better kicks the way some teams do.
Thats my one criticism of him as well - he doesn't demand the ball or scream for it when he is in a good position. He has all the tools - great kick, extremely great vision and football brain, strong work ethic and can run all day. He needs to become more selfish because we are a better team which Sincs is playing well.Seems to polarise posters on here, personally I think he’s an absolute gun who can take the next step and be an A grade player.

Btw does anyone know why hes called skunk. Bad B.O?
Lol niceHe got it from dropping rank farts in the changerooms, true story.
Problem is we need some senior players, good ones, to teach the younger ones what it takes to be an elite player. Biggest reason Hanneberry has been traded for that reason.Realistically Steven isn't around when we are next contending and Bruce is expendable imo. So.....

Don’t disagree with one of Bruce or Paddy. Whichever nets the better pick.
Live trading could work for sure. Think we’d need to give up 18 instead of 28 though. Would still net us 6, 10, 15 & 28.
King/Smith, Caldwell/Dawkins, slider (possibly one of the two at pick 10 could slide) and another good kid at 28.
I reckon if we did something like this you may as well cancel the foxtel subscription for a good 10years..As is evidenced by our inability to recruit A grade talent with cash, we are not getting to the summit any other way.
