The Hawks worked on him so much that he totally bought into their vision and their culture.
So much so that he’s hanging out for the first open training session and his first slagheap selfie in front of their adoring fan base.

They offered him the first 2 picks of the hard rubbish collection each Thursday... can't compete with that.
Josh Battle only signed a two year deal because he was unhappy under Ratten, Lyon came in but obviously still unsettled.

Quite happy that they don’t show their hand personally.
RTB has said that the strategy is the draft and midfielders.
Who’s Josh Battle? Never heard of her

The 'points' value has him rated as pick 2.
Same as Bolton with 10&11. Laughable

So a different question - not really on top of all this especially when I miss so many pages every day - but is it possible for any of those Tigers players get the club a compo pick ahead of our picks? Or are ours now set in stone? Unsure of their contract statuses.
Thanks.

As exciting as it sounds what is the actual reality that we get pick #9 from Essendon, I think its pretty slim! They are the type of club who would rather use the pick on Kako, than give another club a leg up no matter how much it affects their draft hand. Although it did appear that SOS and Dodoro were quite communicative during the Gresham/Shiel dealings last year, they are just not a trust worthy club.
We have heard a number of times now that our List Management team havent yet spoken with the Dogs re Macrae. SOS, Gubby and Dalrymple have been in the game for a long time, so I guess the lack of approach is a tactical ploy. I wonder if it benefits us with letting Sam Power use all his energy arguing with Geelong over the Smith trade before we approach? Plus we could be hoping they will do well in the Smith trade and that might soften their stance when it comes to Macrae. Interesting times...
I imagine Port have asked us to wait on the Soldo talks until they get the Houston/Lukosius deals squared away.
I still get the feeling that Gubby and SOS have another twist or trade simmering away yet to play out....
With Collingwood showing interest in Jack Hayes, I wonder if we could be looking at a Finlay Macrae trade to get the brothers playing together at the Saints???

Well thanks but….
No, the Tigers can’t get a compo pick?
OR
No, our picks are not set in stone?
Assuming the first?
Yes'm
Regarding p9, the Bummers would be inclined to chance their luck but would gauge live trading by who gets taken in the preceding picks.As exciting as it sounds what is the actual reality that we get pick #9 from Essendon, I think its pretty slim!

The downside of that is if they get nervous and table it, then they lose leverage and will get less in return than if they did it now as other clubs will sense the desperation.
They're in a tough spot.
He is an awesome player and has a great set of skills, but he has already had his fair share of concussions. Sad kids a gun.
What’s that rattle
There is also a huge amount of quality players coming out of contract next year.
We have already planted seeds in DeKoning and Leek Alliir
Maybe a little bit of a different situation
Rioli did win the B&F this season.

Dogs and Port will break. They both want to free up $$$ capital. They are just trying to milk the situation. IMO it’s great for the first time we have a decent player requesting to come to our club and we are just meh!
Instead of the usual throwing in everything possible to just get it done.

I have a personal interest in the affects of concussion, so have read a fair bit of material on the topic. One of the article's covered suggested the cumulative affect on the developing brain (adolescants etc) caused a heightened potential of further injury and were more susceptible to long term damage.
With Luke Trainor having had several concussions in his junior years it would have to be raising 'red flags' with clubs medical teams. He might be lucky and never suffer another concussion in his career, but the potential for a career ending injury would be considerably higher than the average player. Given our history with losing players to concussion etc I simply dont think we can take the risk on the kid unfortunately.
He will get picked up, but I doubt it will be with the Saints for the reasons above.
