I wonder if he will play football and some level next season. Is his body up to it? If he does play and gets a good run at it, would be worth keeping an eye on him.

His last run of games for us in 2022 was outstanding.

Disappointing to lose Coffield. I think he can play.

But welcome to Dow.

The dogs obviously don’t rank him as they have only offered a future fourth round. I think that’s an insult for a former top ten draftee who has been injured. If he is now over the injuries he is a first 22 player. Saints should not accept a low ball over - I would rather he go to the PSD Future fo...

It seems the club hasn’t put up much of a fight to keep Coffield. I hear he is going with the club’s blessings. Not sold on this one at all. Fully fit, he’s an improvement on Stocker just for one example. Very disappointing outcome if he goes for next to nothing, particularly if he kicks on big tim...

His last season for us was very, very impressive. If he can get his body right, look out.

I thought Stocker was okay this season, but I have him well behind a fully fit Nick Coffield in that half back role

I don’t mind us getting Dow. He is locked behind some out-and-out guns at Carlton and played some better-than-useful games for them when given the chance this season. Often, good players take 60-odd games to really hit their straps. On the subject of which, I’m p*ssed off with us potentially losing ...

Looking like a decent draft haul at the end of 2020 season.

Coffield played his breakout game against the Dogs at the Gabba in the elimination final.

Remember it well

Disappointing to hear that Nick Coffield has decided to play for Footscray as I felt we had yet to see him play after long term injury. However, as the saying goes 'that's football' and so we shouldn't agonise over what he might have been, time to move on. It's likely he could see that it would be ...

Hope we play hardball We absolutely must. We used a top 10 draft pic on him and stuck with him through long-term injury. Plus I think he can really play. Wonder what the issue is? Not rated by the powers that be? Dogs have offered simply a better deal? Hope I am wrong, but I feel this one could com...

Looks like Coffield has nominated Western Bulldogs.

Bummer! I hope I am wrong about him being a future star

I doubt whether is he really on the table. Just think they want to pull him into line.

But if you had to choose one player to make you a contender, he'd be right up there.

Whether we could afford him or satisfy Melbourne's demands is another thing altogether.

Think we'd be making a mistake to let Billings leave St Kilda. He has a touch of class, and good disposl, which we desperately need. Reminds me a bit of Dal Santo. He's had a wretched run with injuries, and if fully fit , properly engaged and used correctly is a regular in our team. If RTB really i...

Why wouldn’t he be back? Sh*t happens. Hopefully he get himself fit and goes around again. Still has much to offer.

Glad to read solid support for retaining Nick Coffield. I'll put on record now that if St Kilda don't give him an appropriate new contract I have not the slightest doubt that whichever club snaps him up, and he'll have plenty interested, will develop him into a bloody good player Did someone say &q...

He’s no slower than some of the incumbents.

Coffield could play midfield I reckon.

I’d be worried if I were Collingwood.

I think it would be one we would regret as he has the potential to be a very good intercept marker, Don’t do another Acres. Yep Now let’s ask. Could he BE another Acres? Could be even better. I think Ross and the new brains trust owe it to themselves to see what he can offer with a decent injury run

Yep

Could be even better

I don't know what everyone else thinks but in pondering about Nick Coffield's future I have become increasingly convinced that the club should sign him up for the next two years. Looking at his record, long term injuries have kept him out of the game in both 2022 and 2023 which means that the club ...

Why am I not surprised the Dullbogs are sniffing around?

Obviously they want to pick up a potentially elite player for a song. I'll be p1ssed off if it happens and I think ultimately the rest of the club will be, too.

Stick him in the guts all next year and we’ve found one out missing pieces of the midfield puzzle which Lyon is trying to solve . God old fashioned tagger and does it well. Nullifies the oppo and does damage himself . Good call. He seems to thrive on having the responsibility of beating a direct op...

I think the consensus is that we’re not quite ready to challenge and the only way we will be is to keep bringing these young guys through. The club made the decision largely to go with the team that got us to finals in the first place. I think that is reasonable. You could argue Howard for Cordy, bu...
