From The Age story -
"It is understood Walsh would prefer to stay with the Saints, but his manager, Michael Quinlan, has fielded interest from rival clubs.
Quinlan did not return calls from The Age yesterday".
If I was Walsh's manager, in the middle of contract negotiations, I'd be putting out the word that other clubs were interested too.

StIck.. you stick with it mate !
I didn't actually say Lynch was slow in my original post .. all I said was Lynch was played 5 times and Walsh didn't get one go when we needed to add pace.
So all I was saying was Lynch didn't add pace to our side - not that he was slow in my original post.
If you go to the Tom Lynch thread you'll find posts from people that distinctly and blatantly say that Tom Lynch lacks pace... and go even further than that - that he's slow.
Why didn't you have a go at them ?
Walsh is faster than Lynch .. does that mean he lacks pace .. well yes he's not quick... but others have gone further and said he's slow !

Because I'm not denying that fact myself mate, I've seen first hand Tom get outrun by someone and pace is not his strength. You've completely missed my point and its got nothing to do with his pace or lack thereof.samoht wrote:If you go to the Tom Lynch thread you'll find posts from people that distinctly and blatantly say that Tom Lynch lacks pace... and go even further than that - that he's slow.

My point was I just think he deserved more than his 5 games he got this year and he didn't deserve to be caught up in the they should have played Walsh over Lynch arguement that you brought up which was very harsh towards Lynch. Can I not support my teams player? There is a strong arguement that Lynch and Walsh should have both played at least a dozen each this year.

You're the one missing the point ..
What I posted wasn't harsh to Lynch - what I said was he doesn't add pace to our side... big deal ! .. whilst Walsh who could have got one of Lynch's games does.
if that gives you the right to single my post out and ask if I'm .. "f..n serious" aren't you yourself being harsh and over-reacting ?
Someone posted that Lynch was " s,,," and looked slow on the Lynch thread - but escaped your attention ?

There is really a vibe (probably created by Ross) that we all think we don't have any forwards, yet people are already trying to pinch two of ours.
I guess our stock levels are OK really, we just haven't been able to see what many of them can do at senior level.
Roo, Kosi, Lynch, Stanley, Walsh, Cahill, Johnson, Ferguson, Siposs, Gamble, Milne, Schneider
It's quite funny really.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Look I probably didn't have to say what i said, but that was just my disbelief at what I was reading, I'm sure you've heard or read worse champ so sorry if you took deep offense.samoht wrote:In Ross we blindly trusted !!
At least some of us saw that not giving Walsh a game was wrong and posted our disapproval .. Lynch got 5 games, I'm sure Walsh could have got one game !
We needed to add pace and yet Ross played Lynch 5 times this year ahead of Walsh !!!
Come On !!
I've always stuck up for Lynch, one, because he is a saints player and I rarely bag my own and two, because he hasn't had much chance to cement his spot because of RL's policies.
Your arguement, as stated above was the because Lynch played 5 games, surely that entitled Walsh to play at least one. I singled out your arguement and challenged it. Would you prefer to just write things and for people to either agree or just ignore your comment if they don't agree?

We shouldn't delist Peake, and should do our best to keep Walsh. But if Melbourne were to offer a priority pick for him what would you do? I don't like losing any players but if we were going to get something huge for him, then you'd have to consider it.SaintPav wrote:It sometimes doesn't work that way.

Polo and Gamble, well, they are bit part players/security who wouldn't be on much coin I wouldn't have thought. But as stated, we may not be able to choose.

Unless Walsh doesn't wish to remain a Saint which I highly doubt. It's not like the other clubs are going to be offering 300k. We will keep him if we really want to.SaintPav wrote:It sometimes doesn't work that way.

StIck there's nothing wrong with challenging what I post.
My argument is our side needs pace .. and yet we played Lynch 5 times ahead of Walsh (a similar sized player who can add some pace) 0 times.
If that's posting something outrageous .. that warrants you singling me out - then where have you been ?
Challenge what I posted ... without offending... that's fine.

Apparantly Melbourne showing some interest, after Dawes, and Clark. Not much they haven't really shown interest in but cant see it happening.

Okay I accept your qualified apology which I had to nevertheless work hard for...hence the need to go round and round in circlesSt Ick wrote:Yawn... going round in circles I'm well and truly over it.samoht wrote:StIck there's nothing wrong with challenging what I post.

You're well and truly over it ??..

I still dont get how RL may be responsible for Walsh leaving.RL isnt here anymore so if Walsh leaves it cant be because of RL. It makes no sense.samoht wrote:Ross's head on a platter.noob wrote:If he were to be traded what would the best offer be from another club?
As Hayes 66 posted above - we still don't know if we has what it takes and
we should have found out by giving him a couple of games in the AFL.
Lynch had 5 games this year - and we knew after game 3 he may lack pace at AFL level - but we still gave him another 2 games after that.
Walsh doesn't lack pace .. maybe he has what it takes - couldn't he have got 2 of Lynch's 5 games ?
I am of the firm opinion that these arsewipes that call themselves newspapers make it up or exaggerate any story that has the slightest connection with St Kilda. The only way to shut the creeps up is to thrash Collingwood, Geelong, Bulldogs, Eagles, Dongers Hawks and beat whoever is left in all games next season. In addition to that win the premiership in a landslide, Nicky Dal win the Brownlow, Jason Gram and Lenny Hayes tie for the Norm Smith Medal, Tommy Walsh gets the Coleman medal, one of the new boys gets the Rising Star Award, Nick Rievoldt gets the Players Association MVP, Zac gets the Footy Show Award and so it goes. If I have forgotten anybody I am sorry. Oh yes I know, Bruce McAvaney has Judds’ love child and retires to look after the little cretin.

He apparently considers this his "job", so if another club offers him a significant amount more money than us, which you'd imagine they could, given our tight salary cap, it would be hard for Tommy to knock that back. He may well have plans to go back to Ireland some day and with their economy in the shitter, this is probably the best opportunity in his life to make some good cash and set himself up financially. So if another club comes along and virtually guarantees him a game and perhaps double the cash, how hard would it be to knock that back?
The only good thing Lyon did was not play him...it takes balls for a board to say lets offer well above market rate for a guy with two years development at a vfl club, he hasn't been exposed to the wider footy community but the whispers of the fans get around. we have talked him up to the point others think he really is plugger mark 2. Lyon may have kept his stocks lower.
All the fault of the Walsh Messianic Society here.
We were trying not to talk him up too much. Plugger66 had the right idea.
