Just read that he is out of contract end of season.
Was linked with us early in his career.
We would have to show an improvement in form before the season is over for him to be interested.

Do you think he would be interested in coming to the Saints?
Would we want him? Do you think we need him at the Saints?

I'm not so sure. Would have to come cheaply, don't think west coast would let him go cheaply.
But could be handy in giving McEvoy a little more time to develop.

Lets get him. Maybe we could swap Kosi for him. Seems a good deal for both sides.

ralphsmith · Wed 18 May 2011 9:48pm

Kosi trade might be worth looking at.

We would have to put some serious effort into making Kosi look like a decent swap. Let's get the guys who marketed Andrew Lovett to the saints onto that task.

But I would love big cox at the saints!

Well maybe Kosi and someone like Blake. 2 players who can play anywhere. WCE would surely jump at that.

Why? By the time we challenge again he will be long past his due date.

Maybe Clint wants to go home?

Them types of guys don't grow on trees you know!

That's right, how many you seen lately?

Hang on, let's chuck that other WA bloke Miles in to sweeten the deal.

Oops.

They could all sing that great Beach Boys song. Good Vibrators.

I thought you were talking about the player we got 31 years ago that had us (temporarily) stripped of points. Then I remembered his name is Doug.

Still remember our banner at the time telling Richmond to get their hands off our Cox

West Coast look like a finals side now and we don't. Surely he's of more value to them splitting with Nat for the next two or three years than he is as trade bait. I don't think anybody would give up a pick valuable enough to make it worth their while. No player is going to be valuable enough to them that we can afford to lose.

Furphy · Post: # 1077198Post **Furphy** » Wed 18 May 2011 10:06pm

Haha, Richmond flew that one, ours was "Pointless yes, gutless never!"

So it was our hands on Richmond's cox?

Memory not as good as it was

I guess having big COX would go well having CLlNT in the middle

mad saint guy · Wed 18 May 2011 10:27pm

Realistically we won't be able to afford him (he'd easily command 700k) and he'll be past it by the time we have another genuine crack.

I think we should do after a ruckman in his early-mid twenties stuck behind a gun such as McIntosh at North or even someone like Pyke at Sydney.

I know it's really politically incorrect and inappropriate today, but I remember the giggle I had when the cheer squad unfurled the banner in front of the Rush Stand at Victoria Park one day with the word "fagpies" emblazened across it.

St Igmata · Wed 18 May 2011 10:30pm

Yeah Cox!
Good idea.

Lets make a list of all the uncontracted players after this season and cherrypick.

If we are going to talk about ruckmen that we can't afford or would want to come to StKilda, why not dream about Sandilands and say Kreuzer? They would be handyâ€¦

I thought that was S & Dung. Kevin Shitty was prepared to let us keep him if we let S & Dung have a young kid called Robert Harvey.

The guy had a potential career at St Kilda but at S & Dung he couldn't make the senior team.
His football career was killed by the AFL and Shitty.
