List Mgmt. 2022 Trade Thread - Part II

[Barrels]

Also stuck behind absolutely no one in the ruck and still can’t get a gig.

Weideman as the hybrid is behind Gawn, Jackson and Brown.

Rata as the hybrid is behind Stanley.

Personally I see no real difference between the two.

Esava is a better ruck and bigger body.

Weed a far better forward.

 

[Barrels]

I thought the Goldie list manager was pretty forthcoming and honest.

Aside from their absolute ****wit President, they’re a pretty decent, if largely anonymous, club.

trade would be done early and that discussion have already taken place.

I thought JDG just left for the US again recently. Must be having a very short trip of he's coming back to be announced tomorrow.

It’s perfect.

Collingwood announce long term, no escape clauses contract in the arvo.

JDG arrives back just in time for the BnF that night

 

[saint66au]

If Bowes gets to choose his destination then were pretty cooked Id say

 

[ScrappyDo]

We have to be into Ethan Phillips OR we are going to draft that Busslinger dude going on his comments right?

Well if thats the case we may as well give up. A state leage player and a draftee that'll be gone by our pick is not a plan.

 

[Saint_Dos]

Current OOC (Minus probably Higgins and Jones because I can't find anything official about their contracts, plus Long who is obviously going)

3. Zak Jones - Link
13. Ryan Byrnes - Link
21. Ben Long - Link
22. Jack Higgins - Link
23. Jack Bytel - Link
31. Jarrod Lienert - Link

Byrnes is contracted for next year.

Clubs eye Suns' pick No.7, Dee's future uncertain, Saint set for new deal

Ryan Byrnes also has a contract for next season after reaching an agreement with the club earlier in the year.

Potato, potato really.

I wouldn't be against Ratugolea if he was cheap, he has a bit of Levi Casboult value to him; limited but offers some contested marking/pack smashing ability and can pinch hit in the ruck. He's not someone you would plan on being in your team long term, but he's good depth. Also, he's only 24. I think he's got another year on his contract so Geelong would probably want something for him other than a token pick. If it was a Peter Wright-esque 4th rounder we'll give you a new start tye deal, sign me up. Keep in mind it wasn't long ago we had Shaun McKernan as our depth...

Tell his mother we are going to offer him whatever number he wore at the Cairns Saints as a junior, watch her sentimental side take over. “Jackie you’ll do what your mother says, you go to St Kilda now or I’ll tan your bloody hide”


Footnote: as per my last post, we could be a family friendly club too

 

[Hayes4PM]

Wood, Highmore, Campbell, Peris all signed 1 year deals

Geez that's a bit rough on old Masedog Wood, I thought he'd earnt a 2 year deal off his second half of the year, he was one of the few who actually looked better as the year went on. I noticed because he was my whipping boy in the first half of the year.

Jeez, he looks older than 24, feels like he's been around for ages too.

Would definitely take him for a token pick, Geelong usually look after their players leaving for opportunity, especially when they have a few incoming players.

Reckon he could be a good foil for King, he's good enough to drag a defender away for sure.

 

[lewdogs]

Jeez that's an interesting chat with Gags re De Goey. He genuinely seems to think we are still well in the mix.

I thought Gags mentioning we had discussed players was interesting

Won't believe anything the media says until the club releases it themselves

 

[Hubnester]

Jeez that's an interesting chat with Gags re De Goey. He genuinely seems to think we are still well in the mix.

Or if he's as good as re-signed as has been reported, Gags is not acknowledging it until it's officially announced.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Gut feel is that we're keen as **** on that pick 7 and we're waiting on Bowes.

 

[lewdogs]

True, but it was just interesting wording... "he's got a decision to make in the next few days".

 

[Sainter1873]

I’m not as critical of the club as some but if we weren’t interested in the Bowes deal we’d be idiots.

And I don’t think we are. Pick 7 for taking a talented young player is the definition of a no-brainer. Of course we have to have the cap room, but I’d be stunned if we weren’t all over it. Especially with the Long deal ongoing.

Start on his father - he grew up and played footy at Mt Eliza.

 

[bird_man]

He was a Saints a supporter as a kid....

 

[stavro#4]

Or we can only afford JDG or Bowes and it seems we don’t have an answer from De Goey - who Gags & co clearly rate

 

[Captain Paddy]

Gags spoke really well I thought.

Seems like we have a clear direction.

 

[stavro#4]

I don't think JDG ever wanted to leave and he wanted the clauses struck so he did use us as a pawn but there was absolutely no harm in chasing him in a responsible way. We put up an offer (for a guy that was only even slightly available because he's an off-field nightmare).... but didn't get Brad Hill desperate and sell our future to get him. I think we handled it pretty well. Chucked our offer in, didn't get it done so moved on.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. I think we handled that like a grown up club would have done it. I can't see anything the club did wrong but I think we were used still. I'm pretty sure that was Sully's point too.

My point was more that it appears we were used because our offer wasn’t miles ahead to make it seem like a genuine decision of money v loyalty.

But if we did, there would be a number of supporters let alone media personalities attacking the club for being negligent

Which is why I said it’s a fine line. Ultimately - according to Gags we are right in this

 

[ScrappyDo]

Or we can only afford JDG or Bowes and it seems we don’t have an answer from De Goey - who Gags & co clearly rate

Thats definitely a factor but with the alleged Bing bounty and the retirements we still should have the budget. Hill staying is another fly in the ointment.

Might have a games trigger for a 2nd year?
