You’d do a half ass jobIf you were a tradie and had to deal with Dodoro you'd definitely charge him the extra 10-15% pain in the ass tax

Or trelololololRichmond won because we don't have Cunningham on our list
I've been told were chasing a 3rd rounder for Butler.
Might have to be a 3 or 4 way deal including dogs given saints need picks for all the other players they're after.
Thats what I think too but this was from the mouth of a recruiter at another club.Doubtful. We’ll trade him for a nothing pick rather than him heading to the pre season draft so he gets to his destination club.
Honestly how TF is St Kilda a destination club.. Thanks for your services (2017) D Butler
They are a destination club because they are willing to pay him more than us. We are very tight with our cap space. Yes, we have freed up money but that is mostly going to upgrade Stack and Pickett as well as several other players whose contracts were backended.Doubtful. We’ll trade him for a nothing pick rather than him heading to the pre season draft so he gets to his destination club.

Theres a lot of what you both say that makes sense - Im of the opinion that cap space is not tight right now but they are leaving wiggle room for
1)just in case something falls into our lap and its too good to refuse
2)players coming out of contract and contract upgrades in the future ie Stack and Pickett spring to mind, if they go on to become the players most of us think they will, they will deserve a significant payday
3) however, number 2 is offset by the fact that Cotchin, Reiwoldt and rance who are all on 750k+ are coming to the end of their contracts over the next year or 2 and they will be playing for significantly less in their next contracts(if they even play on at all) lets hope they do. Its a jigsaw puzzle that is planned 5 years ahead, lets also not forget that each year the salary cap increases as well.
I just feel we're in a really good place cap wise for a dominant side - compare it to the pies situation who are in real trouble next year
It does highlight the lie that when you win a premiership that the only picks you can get for your fringe players are junk ones. For what it's worth Anderson had only played 10 games for 4 goals at the time. Contrast that with Butler who has 45 games and 53 goals and is a premiership player. Didn't mind letting Lloyd, Milne, Stengle and C. Ellis go for the picks we got last year. Letting Butler go for the same range is far more problematic.
Better CV than jack Martin and I’m serious , deadly serious
You wouldn't work for that campaignerIf you were a tradie and had to deal with Dodoro you'd definitely charge him the extra 10-15% pain in the ass tax
As long as we are in the hunt for flags and if no one from below is coming through no one is retiring. Unless old man calf and hamstring come to get you that is.Vast gulf between KMac and the Butler, Markov, Menadue types.
Hope we retain KMac.
Thought Houli would retire fairly soon given his outstanding community work.
Would be brilliant if he retires at the end of 2020.
A grand farewell for a great champion.
Then, as you say, Rance year to year.
He has his own education business too.
Ideally, Houli retires at the end of 2020.
Rance at the end of 2021 or 2022.
That will start to free us up and release salary space.
End of 2022 start to recruit new generation stars.
Huge upside and I don't want to lose him, I'll also add I don't believe the whispers to be true but if he left this year we aren't getting much more than pick 20 odd or whatever he was. Late first, early 2nd.CCJ is worth way more than what we got him for right now!
Good ruck forwards are commodities!! And we have a ripper
why should we help st kilda out ? what have they done or what will they do to help us out?
sweet fu** all thats what
Then i would be enquiring about Jack Bytel
He is a player i liked last year but was injured and was taken 2 picks before Jack Ross
Big bodied inside mid that was touted as a top 10 selection as a 17 year old
A decade ago another club in similar position to where the Saints are now, started acquiring "B grade" talent which a lot of people thought was a poor move, but they persisted and those players help change that clubs culture, which led that club to become a dominant force a decade later.They aren't a destination club.
They are paying overs and loading up on B graders. It will end in very mediocre fashion for them. Brad Hill is the only one who is good acquisition IMO.
That's the problem with trade period, every trade is seen as a shiny new toy and we all want to be involved - it's the nature of the beast.
That club already had A grade stars to compliment them - Saints do not.A decade ago another club in similar position to where the Saints are now, started acquiring "B grade" talent which a lot of people thought was a poor move, but they persisted and those players help change that clubs culture, which led that club to become a dominant force a decade later.
Have heard this will happen.Heard last night that we have engaged in talks with multiple clubs involving our picks at 38 39 & 41 to try and move up the order while helping facilitate some trades that other clubs are stuck with. I believe this also includes working on the Butler and Menadue trades. Not sure which clubs were involved, but there are a number of clubs who may need picks in the second round to get deals done
Jed Anderson was contracted and several clubs were interested as he was a gun junior who had struggled with injury and there seemed to be plenty of scope for him to improve. Butler we’ve seen 50 games from to get his level c grade player, which is why we pulled the contact offer.
We only paid pick 28 for Caddy, yet apparently Butler is going to net us a pick under 40. Not likely. He’s right in the delist zone any team can have him for free once he becomes a free agent at the end of October.
