Re: Liam Henry

If free agent it is all based around the deal he gets which determines what the compensation is. This is then adjusted to how many times the club pissed off the AFL during the year and what they are likely to bring in financially in the future

2023 first step to success

Good nights sleep and calm head it is clear to me the progress that was made this year was a foundation step towards sustainable finals appearances. If you compare 2020 with 2023 teams one was there for a quick hit ,, this one is in front of the natural curve and for the future. Looking at yesterday...

Re: Liam Henry

saying between 15-25 will be required. Probably depends what happens with Gresham to some extent. Always have futures too, OOC actually helps as we have seen puts player in a powerful position.

Re: Coff

Now I ask Liam Stocker Why did they get him? And has he more upside than the two aforementioned In Coffield’s case, I don’t think so, no. I reckon he’s potentially elite and I don’t see that in Stocker yet. Problem with players such as Coffield is that the club has made an investment in him. Not ju...

Re: Coff

Has had a horror run with injury , on way back mid season and does a calf. No way could have played this year after that at afl level. Was a top 10 pick and top 5 in B & F so compensation would want to be reasonable. Be at pains to see him go before others . Just because another club enquirers d...

Re: EX-SAINTS OF THE LAST DECADE AT OTHER CLUBS

Agree with most. Stanley was a mistake - never really tried as a ruck properly at Stkilda. Made worse drafting Goddard at 21 who didn't work out at all.

Re: What price Liam Henry?

interesting in recent times this type of player and time line sees a similar pick to where they were originally selected.

My guess would cost a late first rounder ?

Hope he is retained, has something we lack in regard to elite foot skills and poise. Just needs some continuity of games.

Jack Hayes. Can give Roma a chop-out. Give us a big body up forward. Versatile and can play a number of roles. Good, competitive guy to have on the show.

Ross out, clark in who subs

To me I would see this as a logical move and sub being one of Billings or if they want to potentially use him in finals Coffield.
