Exactly my thoughts..initially I thought clubs staying away due to his contract but if suns are willing to pay a portion then we should have been all over it. Much rather 2MP than Mckernan
Please don't use that kind of language here. J*ck B*llings is more appropriate and palatable.
Kicked a goal in every game he played for us and I was there for the lot
Was actually a cool moment when he kicked that goal against Hawks and everyone got around him his Saints career was 100% highlights...
I doubt Hill is gutted we brought in an inside pig like Crouch he’ll be one of the biggest beneficiaries if all goes to plan...

Narrative doesn't matter at this stage if it's fact or fiction.
Crows went public pretty early all things considered, that's a weakness as it shows a lack of confidence in position as opposed to strength of position in "Brad wants this..." it was "we" as in club minus Brad, as the FA.
We then look weak in aftermath if we say "yeah, in a trade we'd have jostled a bit and given up 17 in the end" and it's why "victors" write history.
I agree though, they don't strike me as people would acquiesce to demands from a position of relative strength. My initial expectation just expected the Crows to have more balls.

Gowers went I heard. Didn’t he lead their goal kicking a few years back?

Actually think Gags was interesting it’s not what they say (Gags & Satan ) it’s what they don’t say.
Last week Satan said clearly that we would only agree to Crouch as free agent was very clear about it.
Today Gags said Ross is at StKilda next year , he didn’t mention anything beyond that Seb is restricted
free agent next year ...going to be interesting
wonder who offers contract other than Saintscompensation pick thank you.
2MP is a risk that a rebuilding club or one already at the top can take IMO.
The salary wasted on him is much better used on areas of weakness rather than depth for our areas of strength

Gold Coast felt he didnt work alongside Bing so he wouldnt have a good match for us either.
Plus, he would be looking for somewhere he can play every week and that's not with us. McKernan knows he has been picked up as a pure back-up option which is all we were after.

The planets seem to be aligning nicely for Bing.Do we see him as a CHF or a CHB?
Shaun McKernan is like having Josh Bruce still on the list, except he's a better ruckman, costs 1/4 of the salary and won't expect to be picked every week.
The Age are referring to us as the new 'trade darlings.' Wow, how things have changed from the Cho, Pelchen and Trout days. To think we swallowed their Kool Aid for so long.
It's obvious listening to Satan and Gaggs that we are interested in Treloar but we are not prepared to show our hand. Why tell the seller that you're loaded with cash when you can haggle a cheaper price if they think you have limited cash?
We have some astute poker players at the table now. Clearly we are no locks to get Treloar but we are at least sitting at the table watching the cards fall.
If we are to land Treloar it will be on our terms, same as Crouch.

No chance, they can’t possibly have cap space.

If Carlisle leaves, which I think he will, for a bigger contract & dollars, due to his extending family. Then, we will lack quality & have inexperience with our KPP stocks. Who's still out there? that we could grab?

Forward. Ideal scenario, Ryder retires, Marshall full time ruck and Bing replaces Marshall up forward.
I didn't listen to the interview today, but saw on Twitter there was a suggestion that Carlisle would be fixed up pretty soon? I got the impression they meant a contract rather than a trade.
Fingers crossed, I know I'm biased to the guy but I feel he is super important to our structure back there.

Gags seemed pretty positive today about Carlisle staying.
