Don’t blame him. It’s just so not Baz.

I cannot visualise him in a Saints guernsey. I doubt Saints are big enough for Baz

 

[Here we go dogs]

Has Phillipou signed at the saints yet?

Yep, back in April he signed a 2 year extension so contracted with the Saints for 2025 and 2026.

 

[Chalky White]

I'm not sure how Barrass, Battle and Baz all fit into the Hawks cap space. Saints have a war chest so it would not surprise me if they were into Baz. The are a club that has very vanilla type players and the introduction of Baz's profile would be unbelievable for them.
I actually prefer him going there than to Geelong and Hawthorn for purely selfish reasons for the club.

 

[Chalky White]

Makes a lot of sense for the saints to go hard. Their midfield is horrid and he would bring a lot of marketability to what I consider a bland team.

[Lex22]

They’re contending and he’s in their top 3 if not their best player. Won’t trade him unless absolutely forced

No doubt.

I’m just saying this in a scenario where he wants to return home.

Who would the Hawks even be paying now? They’re probably bringing forward contacts just to meet the cap floor.

Sicily is only one you could say is ‘worth’ more than $700k a year at this point. The rest of their list are either young and not yet paid highly or middling senior players.

It will eventually catch up in a couple of years when guys like Day need big extensions but it wouldn’t shock me to hear they have millions in cap space.

I would suggest Day, Mitch Lewis,Sic would be on good money. They would have a lot of players on high-middle wages Worpel, Amon, Breust, CJ, Ginni.
But you make a good point the team don't scream star power. It will be interesting with this amount of success they've had this season whether the players that are coming to the end of contracts will demand far higher contracts going forward.

They’d just back themselves in until he’s OOC I would have thought. But if it got to that point and he wanted out 2 firsts would be the starting point. Going to get interesting when 2-year future trading comes in

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I can’t see Baz fitting in anywhere else. Geelong - too much discipline. Hawks - Ginnivan is their poster boy. Saints - too anonymous. He’ll have to stay with us.

Saints have done alright with their drafting lately and just brought in Dalrymple. Bringing in late picks like Shiel might be ok, not sure, but they should mainly focus on bringing as much young talent through the draft as they can.

 

[doggy_dog]

I find it really difficult to believe that a club that is reportedly heavily linked to Dylan Shiel and are so desperate that a week and a half ago it was doing due diligence on Tarryn Thomas is also down the pipe line with Bailey Smith.

I can definitely believe they’re putting a big offer to him. Whether he gives them any serious thought is another question

 

[JohnnySteel]

Baz to Saints would be preferred, considering they’ll have a few top 10 picks.
And they’ll be desperate to get him, we could actually come out winning big time.

well before the journos or it was announced). Im probably prepared to take it to the bank the hawks are in the box seat.

 

[TylerDurden]

We'll get the Baz trade done if he wants us. Will be a fair trade.

 

[doggie dog]

Because the pick is tied to your ladder position. Same reason Saints will get pick 6 for Battle.

Damn I did not know that, cheers for the info.
I guess that helps lower teams if they loose the only talent they have.

 

[Bulldogs85]

You will have nothing to offer once the Barrass trade gets done

 

[4Seasons]

Love or hate Bev, we all know he hates loose lips.
For all the people who say thanks for the info, I hope they get shown the door like Dalrymple.
Loose lips sink ships.

Dalrymple wasn't shown the door, he left because he wanted to.

 

[4Seasons]

Dalrymple wasn't shown the door, he left because he wanted to.

Lol.
He got kicked out for his big mouth.
"Stubborn Bevo" and all that.
Bev has some principles, some you can't break.

Bombers giving up 4 first rounders really screwed their rebuild
Never trust a GWS midfielder

Pretty miserable reading for Bombers fans but I must admit Caddy is one of the best first year talls I've ever seen
