Armo and Gilbert to Gold Coast for pick #5

[PurpleHayes]

I've heard rumours about off field issues of Armo and Gilbert.. (Just a rumour)
And there has been some suggestion recently of Armo as trade bait..
If true would people entertain sending them back to QLD for Gold Coast's pick #5.
I personally think we desperately need to retain them, given they are quality players and in the right age bracket, but if they are part of our off field cultural issues - should we trade them and would pick 5 be sufficient?
With pick 3 and 5 we could potentially land 2 very promising juniors, say Aish and Billings or Aish and Scharenberg etc.. Some good names to build our next finals team around?!

That was rather quickly knocked on the head by our club. Doubtful!

Just a hypothetical Wellard... Mark Fine is paid to lift the ratings of a radio station, simple. I don't even listen to him - did he specifically mention Armo and Gilbert?

[Con Gorozidis]

Every single year for the last 7 someone has seen the letters qld and started a rumour of Gilbert and or Armo to a qld club.

[Dave McNamara]

PH, I don't think that you are Mark Fine , however...

Unless either of them want to go... a definite no from me.

And if they did want to go, I would want more than just pick 5 from those Sons of Beaches! We would lose on that trade!

... begin by talking a deal that involves O'Meara you Beaches...

IMHO Armo' and Gilbo' are two very, very underrated players, both of whom we should keep!

Did the club suggest Armo was trade bait...not that I can recall.

Where did you hear these things? I think you speaketh scuttlebutt only.

[Con Gorozidis]

If there was a kingaroy or ipswich or gladstone side no doubt armo and gilbo would be heading there as well.

[cwrcyn]

That would be and insane deal. We saw how important Gilbert was when he returned late in the season, and Armitage is our bulldozer around the stoppages.

Too many draft picks and we will be a poor mans GWS -- these guys are keepers

[lloyd21]

You guys don't listen to Bains has again said these guys won't be traded at least 4 times in past week

the pelican said the same thing....

Until I hear it on SEN I won't believe it.
They know what is happening at our Club better than Pelchen and/or Baines.

Well, then he is taking money on false pretenses.

[sainterinsydney]

We want real rumours, not pure speculation.

[thejiggingsaint]

Mark Fine is a "merchant" simple as that.

So what is really happening at our club? I would really love to know.

probably no where near as much as has been written about them..

[Con Gorozidis]

Seriously there is a team called the Gladstone Mudcrabs

I heard a rumour that with the new LNG money they are making a huge bid for Gilbo and Armo and the 'go home' factor is strong.

Loved this one posted earlier in the Month on facebook.

Media outlets have confirmed, announcement to be made tomorrow. Due to heavy trading St Kilda now do not have enough players to field a team in season 2014. As we don't have a team, we now don't need coaches which will greatly reduce our expenses, new President Peter Summner announced, this will greatly free up our salary crap.
