West coast will ask for their first and something else given he is contracted.
Hope he stays. Saints don't deserve a 1st
Still don't deserve itNot up to you

Saints don't deserve it ...why?
Its not like we've had a stack of priority picks or anything.
How is it amusing? Literally the only time where it’s a win either way. and don’t get the supporters opinions mixed up with the clubs. He looks very happy at the club atmI also find it amusing the Saints were happy to let Battle go once they found out the potential compensation on offer.
Really unsure how Battle could possibly feel wanted after that…. But if his heart is at the Saints fight it out there for a premiership in the next 5 years. Wishing you all the best!
Hawks will keep on developing what we have on our list.

cry in a corner because a player exercises his right to leave and we cant do a damn thing about it?or look at the positives?I also find it amusing the Saints were happy to let Battle go once they found out the potential compensation on offer.
You still don't seem to understand UFA, no one but Battle has a choice. Saints don't get to counter what Hawks are offering to keep him, if he chooses Hawks then he goes. Nothing to do with the Saints, we have put together a fair contract and now he needs to sit down with his management and decide.Well if my club wanted to keep
Me and sign ASAP. Then if as reported decided it would let me go if the compensation was a first round pick …. Then as a player I would feel the club really doesn’t value my contribution.

He's staying
Why? The amount of time and money we have put into him and we pull his contract. Clutching at straws.Oh I completely understand and the saints can pull there contract.

its called a win/win,he is a very good solid player in a league best 2023 & top 3 2024 area of the field for us,steady as a rock on and off the field,hawks aint gonna offer 900 if we offer him 700,our policy has been to offer what he is worth,not go stupid & if the other offer is so much better we wish him wellBut is battle staying a good thing for saints?
He aint getting better the longer he stayed, it's not like he is scarlett or rance or even steven may.
For hawk's offer, battle will net a band 1 comp meaning saints got picks 4 + 5 meaning 2 A grade mids.
Get some cheap kpp to fill in the back and saints will be laughing.
Keeping a good player in a position that is seemingly hard to fill is never a bad thing. We have one of the strongest backlines in the comp so not disrupting that would be a big win moving forward.But is battle staying a good thing for saints?

another thing that as a roos fan you might not understand with all those picks etc(no disrespect),but there is a mighty good chance the afl finds a way to screw us out of that band 1,if there is a case that battle is offered 100k more than mckay and band 1 is not given,it will be the saints(one of 2 clubs along with the dogs that dont get one of season opener,good friday,easter monday,anzac eve,anzac day,independance day)
so battle stays=win,band 1=win,afl fxxks us with band 2=nah just dont need the extra frustration,keep the bird in the hand
Oh so who had a stack of pp?
I do distinctive remember saints had pick 2 for pp a while back, koschitzke if i remembered correctly.
well we got the mornington peninsula and the greatest player all time,among others taken off us,then got thrown into a ridiculous no sense 3rd vs 4th elim final,while the far inferior that season 5th vs 6th teams got the sameWell we got canberra and ballarat taken off us...
You are confused. Battle was given a large and long offer early on in the season.Well if my club wanted to keep
Me and sign ASAP. Then if as reported decided it would let me go if the compensation was a first round pick …. Then as a player I would feel the club really doesn’t value my contribution.
