For us expats not keeping up with the news, how likely is it that we keep Battle? Is it a matter of Hawthorn just blowing us out of the water?

 

[SteeleSaints]

Jones is in for crouch. So only 1 of Shiel or Macrae makes sense.

Both means someone is losing a spot to a 32+ year old.

Be easy to go past Jones if we have other options.

Battle would be mad not to go to Hawthorn to be honest, and I think it's highly likely he will. Their form is irresistible, that group will win a Flag. And having said this, as long as we get band 1 compo, we're also winning from the deal. It's a good situation to be in.

 

[Atomboy]

He just called me a Liar and that I make up all this crap.

That he also has a WhatsApp group and they laugh at everything I post in his WhatsApp group.

There was mention of a cat and something about Gringo believing everything I write so he is confused.

He posted something about Joffaboy. But can’t vaguely remember what it was.

That’s the gist of it.

Do you have a cat ?.

 

[Remboy]

Do you have a cat ?.

I have, but I asked her if she knew anything about a WhatsApp group and she threw up a fur ball.

 

[akaifu]

What position do people see Windy playing if they don’t think he’s a midfielder long-term?

 

[St Neil]

Viney is also being targeted by North

Viney’s Father is also Clarkson’s right hand man at North. So there is a connection there.

 

[botts]

How much money does everyone reckon we are offering Mac Andrew?

Hawthorn going great I still have queries re next year can Chol & Gunston still have the same impact ???, game style will be more scrutinised, minimal injuries.

Shiel would be lucky to play 10 games. He's been injury prone his whole career. He is more likely to play 0 games than 22.

We've been in the wilderness far too long. It's time to be bold. I say we trade everyone on our list for picks.... then we just pick midfielders. Midfielders everywhere. We could get midfielders to cook the food at the club. Midfielder receptionist. If you sign up for a level 2 ultimate membership you get a free midfielder thrown in. There'll be too many to remember their names so we'll just call them MF1, MF2 etc. I can almost smell the flags that'll come our way.

 

[Yawkey way]

Definitely. He is actually the exact type of player we need.

This side is really lacking a tough edge. We really need a tough little unit like Long, that tackles hard and had a bit of fear factor.

Way too many soft outside types running around at present.

Ben long really didn’t do much at the Saints and some very harsh treatment at the tribunal didn’t help much. He looked a bust at GC last year as well, he played 15 but it was just more of the same. Now along comes Hardwick and he has a different role and looks a very handy player. The only thing that jumps out stats wise is he’s hitting the scoreboard, everything else is pretty much the same.

So if we had kept him who’s spot is he talking, Butler or Higgins ?

I'm surprised I didn't get a mention , I don't think he liked me too much and TBH I wasn't that keen on him after he put my name on here once

Couple of good games a year. Not enough to lose sleep over.

 

[Yawkey way]

I got home late.........had the popcorn done.......read every post.

That's all I will say.

All posts must have been deleted not long after....they were all gone by the morning.

Missed the lot.

 

[Yawkey way]

Depends how much salary we take on. If its all of it then probably an early 3rd at most. If Dogs pay like 250k/year then probably a mid-2nd

Way over what he’s worth imo.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Way over what he’s worth imo.

They wouldn't do those kind of deals if it wasn't.
Unless we have someone else to spend the cap on its no big deal.
I'd rather waste it on some old guy who we know will retire in a couple of years, than overpay a young guy, and then have to go through the painful process of giving him a pay cut a couple of years later.

It’s not the cap it’s the pick, I’m against giving up anything we’d use in this draft for a guy who has a couple of years left and isn’t in his teams best 22. It’s the same every year we give away our player even pay part of their salary like billings then turn around and hand over picks for someone else’s garbage. There are guys who could play that role for a season that will be free like a Jarryd Lyons type or just keep Seb Ross.

 

[CaptainRisky]

Do you have a cat ?.

I have 3 if that helps

 

[Sully111]

no one got screenshots??

hope we are deep in on macrae
would slot straight in to our centre

Yes to Macrae

Hello to George

 

[Yabadoo22]

What position do people see Windy playing if they don’t think he’s a midfielder long-term?

I think he could become an elite lock down small defender imo. Has good pace, is defensively minded, courageous and loves beating his man. Could take Websters spot on and just blanket the best opposition small forward each week.

 

[Yabadoo22]

I hope I'm wrong and really hope he can become a decent afl player, but I find the max hall msd descion to be a strange one. Purely for the fact that we have commited to taking a zebra this year. Fair chance we take hipwell who is a clone of hall, a small, not overly quick midfielder. Seems a waste of 2 list spots imo. Time will tell.

I’m the opposite. I would much rather over pay Peatling than Macrae. Or Phillipou than Shiel.

And if no youth wants to come to Moorabin front end a Battle, King, Marshall, Wilkie or Steele. Make someone a Saint for life, and lug the war chest over to next year.

But don’t burn the money just for the sake of it.

You got a mention in the Telegram group.
All nice things too.

Was a liability in defense.
