Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
Why good luck to him???
He was selected by us, developed by us, was given opportunities by us, the walked...
Without repaying our investment!!
I hope he turns out a flop, in fact I am pretty sure he will.... He doesn't have a thirst for the contest!!
At least BJ gave us many years of good service. This clown shows nothing more than some glimpses running fwd of the ball and then demands to be traded??
Should be thankful he's got a job, because he ain't no world beater.

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
this quote today:
The deal to get West Coast defender Mitch Brown to St Kilda is no closer, with Brown's manager, Liam Pickering, telling Melbourne radio SEN on Saturday morning Brown understood he was no certainty to find his way to the Saints.
Prefer him to be talking it up rather than down!

F*** Mitch Brown. He's not the answer. Draft the best backman from the U18s and get the best one from the VFL as a stop gap until we can bring the young one up to speed.

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
I'm starting to agree with this sentiment. Retain our good draft picks and draft Jansch from Oakleigh, a 194cm key defender. Play Stefan Martin as a gumby stop gap for 2013 and maybe we could then pick up Brown end of next year as a free agent. We're not challenging, may as well stock up at the draft.magnifisaint wrote:F*** Mitch Brown. He's not the answer.

Sounds like a Cripps for Stevens trade is on the cards, with something else thrown in? According to my twitter time line anyway!
Maybe this year?

Are we recruiting for Sandy or the saints because it seems people want to get in a lot of WAFL or VFL players. Martin fair enough if we cant get Hickey. The others can try at another club.
Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
The herald sun has an article stating pretty much the same. Along the lines of Cripps and pick 53 for Stevens and pick 38. Apparently WC are very keen on Cripps .rexy wrote:Sounds like a Cripps for Stevens trade is on the cards, with something else thrown in? According to my twitter time line anyway!

If we do that then we have given up on Brown IMO. We dont need Stevens but surely we could use Brown. Hope they wait until the last day of trade so it at least makes the Eagles think.
Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
WC continue to come out in the media and say Brown is off limits. They said words to the effect that they wouldn't even trade him for the Goddard compo pick. Possibly just smoke and mirrors however it's looking more and more unlikely that we'll get him.plugger66 wrote:Old Mate wrote:The herald sun has an article stating pretty much the same.

Agree on Stevens, he is surplus to our requirements. I guess we need to weigh up whether it would be in our best interests to get a pick alone or Stevens for losing Cripps. I personally hope that we are more focused on another tall defender option.

Fkn WCE list manager with a quote akin to "We want to deal a deal on Cripps and We hope St.Kilda respect his wishes to play with us"
Hmmm - we have to respect Cripp's wishes but they dont have to respect Browns

Looks like WCE will be happier to hand over STEVENS in a straight swap for CRIPPS. We may not get BROWN or if we do will have to trade way over what we should eg Sel 13. Interesting times ahead...!
If BROWN stays at WCE I hope they have to match what the SAINTS were prepared to pay him...

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
Nope. He's got a year to run on his current contract. If he signs an extension you'd think he'd be asking for more than what we offered, given he doesn't want to be there. Not that he would.WinnersOnly wrote:http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/departm ... 6495005316

i saw him in the preseason with Farren in Elsternwick and he was wearing these pink gym shorts that looked like they were from Myer miss shop pulled up to his armpits and a tight singlet. Until I realised they were footy players I thought they were special friends that Milney has issues with. I thought even still he might be batting with the other team so was a little surprised he had a girl friend. That's not meant to sound derogatory just an observation. Good luck to him if he was but footy has come along way from when it was a bloke culture, he looked like he'd come from the wax and solarium joint.

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
The Eagles want to trade for homesick Saint Jamie Cripps but list manager Craig Vozzo yesterday maintained Mitch Brown would not be part of any deal and would remain an Eagle next season. The Saints, however, are determined to pursue Brown, who had sought a trade, in a bid to strengthen their back line and have not ruled out reopening negotiations. They would be prepared to offer the 23-year-old a three-year contract.
Brown's manager, Liam Pickering, has cast further doubt on any move.
''According to West Coast, it's not going to happen,'' Pickering said.
Brown, the twin of Collingwood's Nathan, has a year to run on his contract. He has been unable to get a regular game with the Eagles, managing just eight last season and sits behind tall defenders Darren Glass, Will Schofield and Eric Mackenzie.
Pickering also said he was confident he would find a new home for former Port Adelaide midfielder David Rodan.
The Cats continue to work on a deal to secure Melbourne's Jared Rivers.
Meanwhile, St Kilda's bid for high leaping young Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey is facing some possible competition from North Melbourne and Essendon, both of which are in the market for back-up ruckmen.
While the Saints have offered Hickey a three-year deal and are his preferred destination, the Dons and North also have an interest in Hickey.
St Kilda has been the clear frontrunner for Hickey, the Saints wishing to find a higher leaping ruckman to support Ben McEvoy. Hickey has a background as an elite volleyballer and the Suns say his scope for improvement is enormous given his relative lack of experience.
Essendon is yet to re-contract David Hille, while North is in negotiations with Geelong over a trade for Hamish McIntosh, opening up a vacancy for a younger ruckman to support Todd Goldstein.
St Kilda's football operations chief Chris Pelchen has confirmed that it would entertain trading the draft pick it will receive for Brendon Goddard - the club expects this to be pick No.13 - if the right deal is there.

He does and I dont blame him for wanting to go back to be with her. As for footy I wish he would stay.

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
Joffaboy pointed out that the WC 'Negotiator' is running some sort of media campaign to wangle a deal 'against' St. K. along the lines of 'we have to respect Cripp's wishes' but as J-boy points out they don't see themselves as a club that should have to respect Browns or moreso St. Kilda's wishes.
I knew there were good reasons why i didn't particularly like the WC privilaged outlook on the world. Even with Lyon @ Freeo i'd still much prefer Freeo win the derbies there.
The thing is WC obviously rate Cripps highly and would love to get him 4 v. little from a 2nd. rate club like St. Kilda (as they see it).
It is pig-headed 2 force Brown to put up with another 7 or 8 games he might get in the 2013 season while @ the same time try and get Cripps 4 little in return.
GO SAINTS!

The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.

Anyway we should trade Cripps to them and tell them that we expect a first round draft pick for him.

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
Yep. Cripps played 16 games for us this season, so almost a regular. Brown is locked in behind three good players over there and can't crack a regular senior game.joffaboy wrote:Fkn WCE list manager with a quote akin to "We want to deal a deal on Cripps and We hope St.Kilda respect his wishes to play with us"

You'd reckon a straight swap would be a fair deal. In their favour even.
Some want to chuck them draft picks as well as Cripps to secure Brown.
