Saints still copping flack for telling Battle not to come.

Meanwhile at Richmond. You have players addressing the crowd like this.

And I get there is no way to make this okay with everyone. But sometimes the right decision is to not put people in situations like the below.

Pahahhaha, gold.

Bolton clearly uncomfortable, so I can understand that and could have easily simply forgotten to say anything in his desire to not be publicly speaking. Or embarrassed and not knowing what to say.

Baker, though. Wow. Grow up.

 

[Saint Watto]

Cooney is highly regarded

His journalistic expertise is eye watering !!!!!!!

A possible Wakley Award incoming ???????

As that wise Spanish guru once said...."No way Jose"

Doctors wanted to research his brain but all they found was some cottage cheese.

I think we need to prioritise draft picks this year. So agree no deal if they want 2nd rounder.

Agree. Grab a DFA for both KD and Ruck. If we go hard mids / mid sizers this year then we will be better placed to go full bore at talls. I know it’s difficult, but otherwise use the same pick on a young ruck or key back and out some onus on an experience DFA and Heath going into his fifth year (well, 4th in reality for him).

Aside from the court case which I don't want to get into, Hawthorn have been overdogs for 60 years. They should be no one's sentimental favourite or second side. While Ken Hinkley was an idiot, I was happy the Power knocked them over. I hope the Hawks fall in a hole next season and stay there for a looooong while.

End communication.

The “family club” was the biggest misnomer ever!

The club clearly want Soldo for a role alongside Ro. Ro's best and fairest tally shows the coaches think there are elements of his game that could be better utilised.

Wouldn't be surprised to see us give up an F2 with an F3 coming back. Some will be very unhappy with that, hopefully we end up seeing it as worth it.

Ro could end up being a 40-50 goal a year forward if Soldo comes in. If this was the plan all along then it makes sense why Membrey is exploring his options.

Tom Morris - Leek Aleer meet up with us. We offered a 6 year deal.

I hate the 6 years but I really like Aleer. Would love to do a future 2nd special for him this year.

Gonna be painful if we have to wait twelve months to take a Leek...

WANT!!!!!

 

[Linton Street Saint]

Fancies himself cracking into the WB midfield does he. Better players have been and are being squeezed out. Been drinking his own bathwater me thinks. Prime knob.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Coons genuinely hates the club and thinks nothing of us

Just “thinks nothing”…full stop.
Moron.

 

[akaifu]

Aleer and Callaghan next year is gonna make me feel a certain way

Be nice if we could persuade him to leave this year, he would be the perfect fill in for Battle at CHB. GWS are bleeding players so they he might be difficult to move this year. I wonder what he would cost trade wise next year?

We havent heard any more about Tomlinson he would be the perfect gap filler until we grab a player like Aleer.

Targeting Giants fringe players with big offers… they either come, or they stay and they put a mountain of pressure on the giants cap.

So it is obvious for anyone still unsure of what the President meant by hitting the draft in succession. It is obvious we want to go all in on the draft this year then go all in on Brayshaw, LDU, Callaghan, Leek Aleer etc in trading in 2025.

It could not be more transparent to other clubs and our own supporters who care to pay attention.

Tom Morris had to scroll back all the way to August 20 for this bit of fresh news

 

[SteeleSaints]

Should we look at Preuss and put him through a physical? He might be cooked the reason GWS have delisted him, but if he has sorted his injuries out he would be a cheap backup option. He has only played 3 x VFL games in the past 2 years he would be a risk, but Soldo has a long history of being fairly injury prone also.

I would love for the club to also target and grab a young ruckman at the draft.

 

[The_Steadier]

Ro could end up being a 40-50 goal a year forward if Soldo comes in. If this was the plan all along then it makes sense why Membrey is exploring his options.

I wouldn't go that crazy.

But yeah, I can see a world where we like the concept of marshall playing fwd ~40-50% of each game.

This in theory would have the benefits of:
A. him being more impactful and dynamic when he is rucking (due to less running) and
B. him being more impactful and dynamic when it matters- ie in September (due to less running over the course of the whole season).

The success of a contruct like this hinges on the ability for both Soldo and Roma to kick goals regularly.

'Regularly' I think realistically means getting the kind of output that peak paddy ryder was able to produce- ie average of a goal a game.

If we think we could get circa 45-50 goals a year from soldo and marshall combined- then it's worth pursuing I think.

I'd look at him over Soldo. If his body is fine, he'd be a great backup. His free price instead of a F2nd is super appealing particularly when there is a strong agreement they are the same quality of player.

I'd like to add TDK to that list, which is why I care not for the reports of a second rounder involved in a Soldo trade. I was of the opinion that we probably offered big bucks to Weitering to squeeze the Blues for TDK. Same could possibly be said for Callaghan and Leek, although we have a desperate need for both asap.

I'd be so excited for any or all of these guys, they sound perfect - but why are we the only club who seems to be reported on for unlikely players 12 months out. Call me impatient, but are we just a negotiation tactic club?

Given up on Heath?
