What's the Carl Barron bit? 'Hey do you want the rest of this sausage roll? It tastes like shit'
A bloke called Billy Frampton played in a flag last year. Wasnt considered good enough for us either
We won't get anything for him and will need to pay a majority of his $850K contract. He is close to retirement, more likely to retire mid next year and pay out his contract for the following year.
He looked disinterested being back there!

From a cartel villa in Tuscany
16, in and out during the year, no finals other than the grand final
He's not going to retire

he is useless was just lucky
pies supporters know he is shit
If he knows he won't get a contract beyond 2026 and doesn't want to play in the SANFL. You think the new senior coach will see Laird as an important puzzle of the list moving forward??? Even Nicks finally saw it and had to move him to defense were he still stunk as bad as Smith early in the season and got dropped mid season.

Killing with a smile
He'd be ok for a team with stuff all depth. Bulldogs maybe, considering they are losing a few players.

Did we trade Billy, or give him away?
So was Aaron Keating
The point being he wasnt good enough for a rubbish side, which is the point you were trying to make..... poorly
St Kilda are compulsive at trading in older guys on the decline. They inexplicably gave Sydney massive overs for Hanneberry when he was on one leg, they grabbed Brad Crouch with a degenerative knee, they want Macrae this year who can’t make Footscrays side and they are going to bring in Soldo after he proved no good at a second side this year. They would probably give us 2 firsts for Laird.

I was trying to understand the logic that player X is shit, we should trade him.

The thing with Frampton was he was able to plug holes for Collingwood during the year up forward, in defence and particularly in the ruck when at times both Cameron and Cox were out injuried

If Laird was open to a move and here is where nicks actually could show a real coaches touch by hinting gametime will be limited due to the additions the the more recent new mids, laird could then be nudged to look to explore his options. It would be great to get the free list spot and even if we had to pick up part of his contract and only got an f2 back from a club, its the sort of move that benefits the longer term and Laird might get some extra years and money in the process.St Kilda are compulsive at trading in older guys on the decline.

Yep but handy depth is a different argument to saying this guy is actually good. I agree with it being a smart trade on that basis but wouldn't go further than that.
Yes
He was cheap, and came in handy because of his size and his versatility (albeit somewhat limited at times)
Which is pretty much what I told a Collingwood supporting friend when they traded him in
There was absolutely no point in us keeping him
