Announcement today.

I was told last night by an AFL club official (not Saints) that we have been awarded #8.

Hope he is correct

I was told last night by an AFL club official ( not St Kilda) the JB compensation is #8.

God I hope he is correct!

Here’s an idea, let’s make it a reality TV show where the Sandy players vie for a spot on the Saints list.

We could call it the recruit

In all seriousness, it may well be a waste this year, but may assist Sandy recruiting future talent if players see an opportunity to be AFL rookie listed.

People keep stating (as fact) Battle left for less money than we offered.

I am yet to see one piece of evidence proving this.

Surely the reliable Tom Morris is not the source?

Imagine if we traded our second round pick for Peatling, given it’s the pick they traded to us to move down the draft order by one place.

My wants this draft Selection 8 Any of O’Sullivan, Smith, Reid, Draper, O’Sullivan, Smillie, Langford. Cannot lose with any of that group - all lay claims to being the best player of that draft class Do not want at that selection Trainor - in fact - any tall Most probable Reid or Lalor Selection 9 ...

I keep seeing people post this, but I am yet to see one shred of evidence of authenticity.
Surely its not based on a Tom Morris comment?

If we are looking at LDU as a free agent next year, I'd be up for trying to get our hands on Gold Coast pick 12 for our F1. Take 4 kids inside top 30. Reid at 8 Smilie at 9 Looks like a chance. I like that idea, get #12 for next years first round pick and load up, assuming it is doable with GCS. #8...

Look at the impact of Father/Son selections, obtained by having numerous otherwise unused late Draft Picks, on the recent Premiership sides. In fact, not only recent. Basset is absolutely correct. The AFL "Rules" are dictating where Premierships are going. I’d suggest no one is arguing th...

Have other departing players attended the B & F after announcing their departure? Not usually. Ollie Henry wasn't invited to Collingwood's B&F after requesting a trade. I don't understand why this is a story, rarely are players who request a change of club invited to club functions followin...

From what I’m hearing it was 850k over 6

50k off band 1 Compo

Where is the proof he went for less money?

Are you referring to the Tom Morris tweet?

Some of questions for all of those advocating that we should just shut up and take it up the arse from the AFL!! How many selections did the Gold Coast get in the top 25 draft picks last year? And how many of those players did we have access to? How many selections are the reigning premiers expecte...

Are you suggesting we should try to secure his services?

How would we even get him?

Wait until end 2025 and go at him as a FA.

LDU is very gettable and has discussed his desire to be traded out if possible. Doesn't want to be the face of the football club and be the number one.

Apparently Battle was asked not to attend the Best and Fairest. What are peoples thoughts on this. Widely reported in the mainstream press. Very disappointing Saints. Was it player driven Apparently he texted a number of players after exit meeting he was staying.... Next day announced via media he ...

Played as a defensive forward in the last 4 games.

Is massively overrated

Beware the 4th banana in a top team.

I agree, Chad Fletcher was AA

Very disappointing Saints.

Petty, pathetic & unprofessional by the club.

The guys has chosen to change employer, after years of solid service and this is how we respond.

Disappointed

Grow up saints.

Given the President made a living providing an employment platform, I find it a tad ironic.
