Matthew Allison will be the surprise of 2024.

Than these players... Dow v Bytel Henry v Gresham Hastie v Coffield Collard v Billings Schoenmaker v Highmore Wilson v McKenzie Bonner v Connolly O'Connell v Adams Garcia v Peris In 2024? I'll have a guess. Dow v Bytel - Yes, Dow will play Round 1, Bytel wouldn't have. Henry v Gresham - Yes, despit...

Our opponents would be delighted if they didn't have to worry about Jack Sinclair rebounding off half back.

I'm sure that would have referred to the 2024 draft - most likely the rookie draft.

Our 2024 list strategy would've been well and truly in place when that agreement was announced.

Garcia is the one that interests me. I hadn't heard of him at all, and yet we traded F3 to get him, seemed odd. I wonder whether it was the completion of a deal with GWS that we would trade a third back for the second they traded to get Leakie? We had three 2024 R3 picks, we were never going to use...

I was most impressed by our trading over the last two nights. Trading our 2024 R3 pick (received from Melb for Billings) to Melbourne for pick 42 allowed us to package 40 & 42 to Gold Coast for 27. Clever trading given GC weren't going to use 27, they just needed the equivalent points. This gave...

Some say the ghost of Tommy Walsh still walks the halls of Saintsational at night.

And before our following home game against the Dogs.

5-day break cost us 4-points vs Port this year.

Our first home game at Docklands isn't until Round 6!

We play just three home games at Docklands in the first 12 rounds, but we travel to Geelong, Adelaide twice, Canberra, Launceston and Perth.

Draw becomes a little friendlier from Round 13 onwards.

Stocker wasn’t that impressive as the season got older, did he even end up playing in the final?

Yes. Started as sub, came on after halftime and had an instant impact. Played well.

Not the most famous number.

Welcome Tom!

Not sure what is happening with Membrey?

Paton is contracted until the end of next season.

The only mistake here is that we extended his contract when we did.

Billings should've been traded at the end of 2018 when he had good currency.

Moving him on for next to nothing looks bad on paper, but it's simply a matter of correcting a previous mistake. Just like sacking Ratten.

Benefit to St Kilda? Easy. He’s off the list.

He wasn’t part of the present.
He isn’t part of the future.
Create a spot for someone who will be.

If we pay Billings to play elsewhere, does that fall under our salary cap? If so, it could be a handy way to achieve the minimum total player payments, which I think is 95% of the cap. It would help ensure we meet the minimum without inflating existing contracts, and would give us plenty of room to ...

via FoxSports.... Top-10 2017 draftees Nick Coffield and Paddy Dow could have their trade wishes granted by the end of today. Coffield is keen to get to the Western Bulldogs from St Kilda, who are working with Carlton to strike a deal for Dow. SEN journalist Tom Morris reported the Bulldogs, Saints,...

Even the speech at St Kilda ‘s B&F reminds us to curb expectations and accept our Sunday twilite status.

What? When was anything like that said?

The general theme of all the speeches was that despite 2023 being a positive year, we need to improve and bridge the gap to the top 4.

There are just under 150 hours of trade period left.

Relax.

Otiman wrote: ↑Wed 11 Oct 2023 6:34pm Is anyone else concerned we have been far too quiet so far?

There’s a week left.

The impatience of fans during the trade period is bemusing.

The Bulldogs pick trade with Gold Coast means they now have picks 5, 39, 47, 52, 68 & 74.

Is pick 39 enough for Coffield, and as a result, for Henry?

I think the Dogs will need to give a little more, especially given the compensation clubs are receiving for restricted free agents.

Adelaide are the obvious one. Should play finals in 2024.

I don't see any other major threats from outside the 8.

Gold Coast should improve, but I can't see them ever playing finals.

Essendon won't get anywhere near it. Neither will Geelong.

I expect Hotton and Heath to move into that top 30 in 2024.

Does that just leave Clark, Highmore, Campbell & McKenzie as uncontracted?

As well as Gresham & Coffield obviously.
