List Mgmt. 2023 Trade Thread - Part IV

[EddieMurphy]

ohhhh mid season trading - Shiel can be got in June

He's falling apart, by mid season next year he will be sharing a room with DMac at Healing Hans sanitorium in Germany.

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

Pay his full salary for him to not play for us or pay part of it for him to not play for Melbourne. So it goes

I like Coff but I don’t think he’s quite got the agility or athleticism to play like that, he looks like Carlisle once the ball hits the deck.

Couldn't be further from the truth, he has both those traits but for some reason refuses to use them, not sure if it's confidence or what , if he gets his act together he could be a gun

 

[stavro#4]

Billings will fit in perfectly at Melbourne. First day there May will be turning him upside down for lunch money and the coach will be racking lines off his bare lower back.

He will be behind a cubicle.

Urinal only for the big boys

 

[g_TRAIN]

On another note. Has there ever been a club that loses players for less than st.kilda?

I honestly can’t remember the last player that left saints since Barry Hall that actually commanded something decent back. Maybe McEvoy or Stanley.

Yes, there has. Gold Coast for one.

People need to realize these guys like Billings, Coffield, and co have very little value due to injury and recent form, etc.

I saw a stat recently that we had lost the 2nd least players of all clubs over the last 5-10 years (can't remember which) so we have not lost many in general.

May swiping his card, "why doesn't this work?" gives it a bit of a kick, next suburb over: "is a woman in trouble?".

 

[stfan]

I mean it seems about right. Which is kind of precisely why I wasn't super keen on trading him. It was pretty clear this year he wasn't in Ross's plans for the future though.

Do you want Sandy to go really well in 2024, or do you want to have a crack of improving St Kilda in the AFL?


Yes we could have kept Coffield, Billings and Gresham. But 2 and maybe 3 of them would not have been in the first 22.

Personally I preferred to have gained Dow, Henry and to be picking up at least 3 kids in the draft.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Billo gawnnnn

You don’t seem to be a big fan?

 

[St Kilda Death]

But then Richo will give him a cuddle and everything will be ok.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

OK .... who gets 15

 

[seasonedsainter]

With Coff gone, I hope our days of drafting half backs that may turn into a mid maybe over. Time for pure mids!

My thoughts exactly.

 

[SaintJunior]

The only way we should be paying a cent is if we got a pick that was overs .

A future third is okay in isolation but far from acceptable if contributing to the salary.

Absolutely piss poor trade , would want to be using it to upgrade somehow .

 

[George]

Mowman the type of guy to say "mimimimimimimi" when he snores

 

[BrutThough]

RIP Billings v Bont debates

It's sweet you think that will ever stop.

 

[Future Fourth]

Got out 3 of our most injury prone players for a 1st rounder and 2 younger replacements with potential. Solid from SOS.

…and no Sheil!

 

[gringo2011]

Big time

Shit that sucks. Might be time to run fishing charters in Yepoon.

RIP Billings v Bont debates

That debate was over half a decade ago tbh

 

[stfan]

RIP Billings v Bont debates

There has not been any debate since the first year or two.

We are winning the Sincs and Marshall Draft Pick Debates though ;

RIP Billings v Bont debates

You wish

 

[_Maximus_12]

I wish Billing was drafted to a club and culture that could get the best out of him.
Ultimately will be a waste of talent. Was drafter as a player with X factor and leaves our club blander than rice cakes

 

[tomjoad]

Take it...and we should do the right thing by him too. Help him clear out his locker and ensure that his Uber is paid, delivering him promptly to his new home, along with all his baggage.
Some of you will miss him I know...but not me.
Should've been done two contracts ago.

Only way Melbourne would accept. His papers must of been stamped.

Longer v Hickey was always more fun anyway

Mowman the type of guy to lose his TV remote and say "Now if I were the TV remote, where would I be?" whilst looking for it
