[The Jack]

Good news to have one of our most talent players committed long term.

Nice show of faith from the club that King will become the players we hope he will, and from King that the club is heading in the right direction.

Let’s hope he can average a few more goals per game, and more importantly a few more games per year.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

wtf???

i havent been over to ss in years so havent heard

wow
loved the old boy
met him a few times on my jaunts over for finals

Don't know about the Jiggster but news on SS that Gazrat aka Asiu passed away a few days back

He was around from the beginning of SS

 

[sauce_head]

Pending numbers and performance bonuses, it makes sense.

 

[sauce_head]

Dynamite bullet head just had to be a Saints supporter. That’s exactly what it feels like following this club!

I laughed hard.

Now for some reason I have the Offspring song “Killboy Powehead” in MY head!

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Battle wants to come back in 26.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Their diving antics and head butting the ground will get old really quickly. The wizard hats and carry on will be gone with a tougher draw and teams actually putting some work into them. They do have some real talent but they caught some teams napping, imo they’ll find it hard to repeat this years finish.

Um, you haven’t heard that they got this superstar Battle or something. Flag faves.
*but Battle is only worth a third rounder.

 

[Mstr Strokesman]

You would imagine so.

With the flipside being he immediately would get a bump that puts him into the really well paid leaving the light on so often .

Leaving the light on at night is not cheap

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Not sure the Dingley move is the guaranteed home run everyone thinks it is. I lived in Hawthorn for a long time and not sure how happy their long term supporters will be on them moving so far and frankly changing their identity. Their supporter base is very much inner and outer east. Dingley as a location in itself has to be the least attractive of all the AFL clubs for young wealthy men.

Will the facilities be good enough that it doesn’t matter? I suppose they will just drive in and never leave. I know it was based on EPL clubs model of enormous campus style facilities in rural areas. But the English countryside is very different from Dingley let me tell you.

Pahahha.

Yep. Facilities built on a dump in a dump.

Does anybody know if this is true re Gazrat?

 

[Leap of Faith]

I'm probably in the minority here but I absolutely hate that length of contract. HATE IT.

Not in minority with me. Is yet to prove he's worth anywhere near that IMO.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Battle and Membrey both going to Hawthorn would be horrible..

They will add on Membrey’s compensation to pick 8 and it upgrades to pick 1.

*just kidding for anyone furious enough to correct

So we offering the other youngsters that have shown more the same? Or only “Max King”?

I’m sorry this offering players what they haven’t earned garbage will not improve us as a club. Max has had a poor year how in the world is it ending in him being offered a 6 year contract?

wait...what other of our youngsters have kicked 50 goals in their second full season? or even come close to doing anything like that?

I’m sure they’d love to sign nas up for another 6 years

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Max King set to explode next year..


....not literally I hope.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

Apparently you can use literally to mean metaphorically these days.

Well I literally heard it on the radio today anyway.

Well I wasn't literally on a radio.

It is strange when he has 2 years left and hasn’t exactly set the world on fire for 24 months.
You’d hope Nas has a similar offer available and Hopefully Phillipou can earn one next season.

 

[Sainter88]

Does anybody know if this is true re Gazrat?

It is unfortunately.

 

[True Believer]

When we make our inevitable rise up the ladder do we have to adopt a silly TikTok meme to describe ourselves like Hawthorn did?

Dear God, I hope not................

With the new CBA giving all clubs extra cap space, getting Max signed up now takes away the opportunity for other clubs to come knocking when the other contracted expired. And as one of our most expensive players, getting him locked away gives us a clear picture of what money we have for others long term instead of needing to put a predicted amount side for him.

 

[True Believer]

Indeed. I knew Gazrat personally, met him up on the Gold coast and communicated away from the footy forums. One of nature's true gentlemen.........

 

[True Believer]

It is true unfortunately.......

I won't go into the circumstances, but very sad......

Exactly. Good. Business.

 

[70s sainter]

Key forwards are like gold . Ask ess , melb , coll and now rich . Even if it doesn’t work out we can trade him out but contracted players earn more for the club .

 

[botts]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Battle wants to come back in 26.

I don’t think he is welcome back. From what I’ve been told Ross more or less told him to “get the fcuk out of my sight” after he lied to everyone one.

 

[Premium]

If we didn't give him this contract teams would of been lining up with over the top contracts - you only have to look at the latest Gold Coast contract with Mac Andrew.
