Surprised to read so many people eager to see Gram go. Arguably should have been the club's first Norm Smith Medallist and still very handy, particularly in light of Gwilt being out for 2012 with a knee. Kicking skills aren't always great but could be worked on. Fair enough if the club need room in the salary cap, but pick 40 would be just plain ridiculous.

Cripps was recruited as a Running BackBigMart wrote:Very important player to us....Gram
Who else do we play as a Running Back?
Geary, Winmar, Raph, Ray....not sure any of those have set the world on fire....
None finished in the top ten of the B&F
On the HBG average for gram....have a glance at all HBF vs Midfield stats for HBG ratio.....
Sainter for life.

Gram going depends on what we are offered....
A good pick/player/preferbaly a mid......Id do it while Gram has a shred of currency.
We need to be smart and save cap space - players like Gram are coverable. Guys like Dal aint for example.
Gram gives us (occasional) run, odd goal from outside 50 and mixed with that poor disposal.
IF we could up that for a mid that can run/win his own ball and be an upgrade on Gram skill wise/youth wise you would be mad not to look at that.

don't believe the hype that walsh wants out. he is actually happy to be a saint and was stoked to be told he would be promoted and a senior list player.
problem is swans have offered 70% more

problem is gamble is on bigger all.True Believer wrote:Thanks MC. Some of us are smart enough to realise those that have genuine sources and appreciate the info. That makes it all cool if it's only 70% more. Tommy can't be on a big amount you'd think so if we waved goodbye to someone like Gamble that would be enough to cover a first year player and give Tommy an extra 40% or so. Most people will stay at the workplace they like for a substantial rise and forego an even more substantial rise that creates a major disruption - it's human nature. If the choice was between Tommy and Gamble, sorry Ryan, but I wish you all the best in your future.MC Gusto wrote:i will keep you all updated.

I don't think Tommy really wants to spend a third consecutive year running around in the VFL. Although spots need to be earned, he needs to at least feel he's a chance to be selected. I would suggest the Swans have already given him some assurances.Â
Now, what can Scott say to inspire the Irishman?

If Walsh simply refuses to sign a new deal and is dead set on going to the Swines I seriously hope we actually get something this time and we dont have another Luke Ball situation.
Obviously my preferance is for him to stay but if he just wont you would want to hope that Pelchin and Watters will organise a fair trade
BANG BANG

Geez it pisses me off that a pick 30 would have pleased so many people.Hurricane wrote:If Walsh simply refuses to sign a new deal and is dead set on going to the Swines I seriously hope we actually get something this time and we dont have another Luke Ball situation.

If we had traded Ball for pick 30. The sooks and simpletons would not be complaining about getting nothing. They would be complaining about gets next to nothing.
Walsh can walk if Sydney decide to offer up rubbish. When recruited he was nominated as a first rounder. 3 clubs are interested. Trying his luck in the draft would be a massive risk.

loving this. top of the morning to you!Celtic Sainter wrote:Scotty just said on TWR that Tommy Bhoy is off the trade table and that he sees him playing a lot of footy for St Kilda over the next 12-24 months.
He says he believes Tommy has massive leadership potential.
Good news, and hopefully he decides he wants to stay and fight for his place.
