Just heard this on SEN.Not till Monday at the earliest, I've heard.
His parent.
I don’t think any decision has been made to be honest.Just heard this on SEN.
Immediately after that, a text to say he’s going to the Hawks - take it to the bank.
This decision has to be the best kept secret ever.
Tom Berry?? He's a small forward and he only just went to the Gold Coast. Also is not leaving QLD due to family. If we want Tom Berry, we never should have gotten rid of Jack Peris or Ben LongOnly reason for any type of disappointment would by nice shiny toy syndrome and the fact that 2 high quality mids would have us on track for the development Ross Lyon wants.
We have to get them elsewhere. I would still look at McCrae, or a Tom Berry etc in trading.
I am pretty happy Josh is staying (if reports are true), while at the same time pretty disappointed we dont have a band 1 compo pick.
Cant the AFL just give us one like they do everyone else?
Or it points to another high profile exit to attain this second first rounder they want.I reckon it's great news. We are a genuine chance at finals next year and hopefully we get a good injury run and fixture. Long term high picks are great but we really need to go now because the bulk of our best talent is getting close to or over 30. Battle helps that and being 25 he'll still be around as those old guys tip out of the side.

So Clarry Oliver and his monster deal?
Steele for picks and then we grab Shiel?

You can see why Battle going in a shit season for a top 5-6 pick has its appeal.Why do we have to do stupid shit? They worst wounds are self inflicted ones.
Jesus ChristUntil I see a breaking news. Battle has re-signed with the saints tweet.
I remain sceptical.
Not that I don’t believe the poster.
But SOS told me in March Battle was signing and here we are in August… with no Battle signing.

The Hawthorn arrogance isn't just found with their supporters. Those inside hawthorn were already gloating to the media that they had Henry (and others) across the line last year when reality was his relationship with Ross and Hill meant he wasn't going anywhere else.Is that any better than Hill, Butler, Higgins, Howard, Wood, Stocker and Henry though? Every one of them would be outside their top 10 except perhaps Ginnivan , maybe Chol, while Hill, Wood, Henry and Higgins would be top ten at the Saints.
And remember the hullabaloo about Mitchell flying to Perth to entice Henry to Hawthorn? How that work for him?
Yeah it was the night we beat them. I posted it here pre game.Jesus Christ
That's a fair point in regards to our trade haul. Although I think we have traded pretty well and OP was still way off with his assessment of Hawthorn's trading.Is that any better than Hill, Butler, Higgins, Howard, Wood, Stocker and Henry though? Every one of them would be outside their top 10 except perhaps Ginnivan , maybe Chol, while Hill, Wood, Henry and Higgins would be top ten at the Saints.

Sounds like a win/win to meWould you look at taking the Dees 1st pick if it meant carrying all of Olivers $$?
We trade some 2nd/3rd rounders for Oliver and the Dees 1st pick ala the Bowes deal.
Gets us the second 1st rounder we want plus a potentially AA level mid. Could also blow up in our face with a 3rd strike or off season OD case...

They change the rules more than my kids do playing Horse.So one year before tassy comes in and takes all the picks. Interesting![]()
Get rid of the academies and make a national reserves competition. Keep the father son, whilst the points system needs tweaking it’s one of the better rules in the AFL. Plus, we’re due for some luck and have 3 Riewoldts boy that will hopefully return to Australia
