Buyer beware of the 23rd , 24th ranked player as a premiership club.
Rarely do they produce anything more than average but are usually overrated ala Tim Notting during Brisbane’s era.

Re: One Saint in Robbo’s top 50
Maybe getting rid of leaders and a young developed ruckman wasn’t a good idea after all?? Especially to try and rebuild in a compromised draft period Giving up high picks for lower multiple picks Drafting a key forward with the number 1 pick for need rather than taking the best talent with the No 1...

You know, Just 4 posts above mine, someone actually uses the word leverage? If you were reading the thread, you would have read that??

Re: If we lose josh Bruce
Once all other trades have been made we can twist the screws on Bruce.
Can keep and pay his salary - make the Dogs pay up now.

Re: Acres
10 + Acres would have been enough. More than enough. Objectively, Hill is worth about Pick 10-12. We have been absolutely ripped apart by Fremantle on this trade. Fair play to Bell, he's cleaned us out. I’m not thrilled about the trade but how is his trade value worth pick 10-12 objectively? What m...

Re: I am disgusted!
Id be having a go at geelong if I was you, if they paid the right price up front Jack would have made a smooth transition to the Cats to aid his mental problem much sooner. Disagree. Geelong don’t owe anyone anything. Right price is subjective. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it wrong. ...

Re: What’s the latest on Jack Steven?
Jack was happy to take 800k last year whilst StK gave him 16 weeks off to deal with his issues, and he’s happy for StK to pay another 400k whilst he plays at Geelong next year for pick 54. I don’t think we owe him much, we have paid him pretty well over two years for 6 games. I agree. I think we ha...

Re: I am disgusted!
I was just reading the thread on Jack Steven's trade to Geelong and am absolutely disgusted at some of the comments you all have made in relation to Jack's worth to the club. Nobody appears to have grasped the real issue here which is Jack's mental health. I'd give him to Geelong for nothing if it ...

Re: Jack Steven ... 58 :(
Why should we have to ‘cop it’? He’s a contracted player 58 for a four time b&f is a disgrace! Geelongs question might be Why should we have to cop it. If Geelong rate Jack in terms of risk factors like consequence and frequency of issues, they may think all the potential value of Jack on the p...

Re: Young expects deal to St Kilda is almost done- to be lodged Tues
This might make Acres pull his finger out, knowing there was little interest in him. He needs to go to the Robert Harvey school of running and get his body in better shape. Potential but needs to work harder. I don’t know if it’s that. I reckon he needs to improve his kicking quite a bit to be up t...

Re: King signs at GC = Bruce stays ?
Once we get Hill, Howard and Ryder completed we can hold out for Bruce to the very end. Would be interesting to see how it falls.
Dogs would need to pony up more than 32 you would think.

Re: Ben King
Interesting.
Can still be traded in contract.
Wondering from a management perspective, is it in King’s interest to sign up (even if unsure of wanting a trade) for the short term while the money is there and worry about trades when they occur?
Any insight into what a player manager would advise?

Re: Hill to Geelong?
Only a matter of time till an alternative option got air in the papers.
You would think the $$$$ would be difficult for Geelong to match. Probs walks in their highest paid player.

Re: Draft Pick Changes
Geez did pick 54 move to 59?
I guess these collapse back down once selections are used for matching bids.
The best thing for everyone is GCS moving up the ladder. Second year in a row they have duplicated a low pick pushing everyone back.
