be driving UP the costs to other clubs ?



who knows what might fall out of the can't pay anymore tree

why is that not a legit tactic ?

Seems kinda high risk, low reward to me

Would only do it if hickey and a 3rd rounder completed the deal

Our last key defender that has had some drug controversy has done alright, why not give it another go Talia went off the rails a bit but we need another 1-2 tall defenders. He can definately play and was very promising at the Bulldogs. He got shafted by them. As long as we keep him on the straight ...

The trade whisperer on twitter has said that saints are targeting Shiel with both out picks and a huge contract

Don't know if he is actually full of s*** or not, but just some food for thought

Ive heard that Stephensons main criticism is that his kicking can be pretty suspect, can someone confirm this?

Jeez, the way you guys are talking about hickey, he must have kicked like 20 goals last year, and averaged 20 disposals

Also, I can't help but feel that the women's talent field will be super shallow by the time we join up, and that we may be doomed to be down the bottom of the ladder unless we get access to the bay side talent area

North should just move to Tasmania permenantly, it's the only thing they have going for them

Seriously, after all the campaigning and effort the club put into trying to get a team, and we still get overlooked for the most irrelevant club in the league (north)

Very judgemental on one game - a game where we were exposed for pace and precision Further, Hickey was coming off missing matches with injury then not playing the preceding VFL match to ensure his availability for the Essendon match, so hardly the ideal preparation Perhaps you should focus on Longe...

So we get rid of Hickey relying on just Longer? Fair dinkum. If you have seen the impact of Ruckmen during this Finals series you would have seen why a fit and firing Hickey is a necessity for any improvement in 2018 - and why Longer is a liability. Your Ruckmen have to contribute around the ground...

Geez, can't really respect Gas too much for this decision.

Took the money a couple of years ago signing a long term contract, and now is jumping ship because he wants go home, essentially taking the money and running, even though he made the decision to sign the contract for that long

Can also play forward and maybe even wing

One of the most underrated players, but like people have said, definitely not what we need

saintspremiers wrote:And you reed some black magic. We have The Gresh but need another unpredictable dynamo up forward. They have Cameron and Betts and it confuses the hell out of opposition.

We also new to poach their whole recruiting and player development department ASAP

Ray connellan will be our Charlie Cameron

Call me cynical, but the AFLW is all about promoting the Men's brand through improving the perceived reputation of the AFL as that's where the money is.

Isn't he the same type of player that Steele is?

Opposite end of the spectrum. Look at the Crows. Lost Dangerfield. Suffered draft penalties after over paying Tippett (who was hopeless anyway). A captain off the rookie list. Incredible effort by the coaching staff and recruiters. Our captain was off the rookie list Tex Walker was from the nationa...

I agree that we have been very competent at recruitment over the last couple years, except for 2012, we ducked 2012 up, the only good thing we got in 2012 was Robbo Yeah. Make it 4 years and I just used 5 as a rough number. 2012 wasn't a great draft. Only N. Wright and Pierce remain from it which i...
