Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
If there's one thing guaranteed to bring mediocrity and crapiness to a club, it's the stirring up of discontent amongst the wider fan base due to the half-baked musings of intellectually challenged trolls posing as fans continuously mouthing off about how they would, or the club should...
You know nothing CitiWest. Get it? Nothing. Your pathetic speculation is based on a preconceived idea that every decision the club makes is the wrong one and if we had taken the deal, I'm sure you would be at the front of the queue of whiners b itching about us rolling over and giving over pick 1 and 21 for second best.
If you are really a Saints supporter, it's time for you to f*** off and join GWS for a fresh start. Your only contribution is to sow insecurity in our member base. You make visiting this forum painful, you and a handful of others reduce us to childish bickering and frankly, I think you are either masochistic to the point of disorder or just simply a prick.
You complain about the saints not winning a premiership in your lifetime like it's some kind of right you've been denied, but I wonder what contribution you've made to the cause. Your ideas are infantile, your reason is pea-brained and the fact that you are an active participant of this forum shames me.
So we'll done on your latest fishing trip, you got me. I'm the fool who took you too seriously this time instead of just ignoring you like usual. I have you on foe list but I can still see your moronic posts in people's replies, plus your threads like this one, built on the mad presumption that the only reason we are choosing what is widely reputed to be the best player in the draft is because of a personal connection. I can't even be bothered listing the 20 or do reasons why it's a pile of dogs mess, suffice it to say that between you and all the little fights between posters, I think I'm going to have to try - again - to stop coming here. Trouble is big footy has big mart...
Anyone know a Saints forum where normal people hang out?

Very wise words Plugger, not even close to an open and shut case.plugger66 wrote:Fair enough but you get a lot more credibility if you just said you made everything because you wanted it to happen. You may end up right but you could also end up wrong. We were losing 21 and 1 for 4 and 7. Doesn't make it an open and shut case that we should have taken it at all. Maybe the most courageous thing was keeping pick one.citywest wrote:Reading all these posts makes me realize why St Kilda has drowned in mediocrity for their entire 150 year history. Actually it's not mediocrity it's is down right crapiness. Twenty seven wooden spooks in 118 years. I think the Petracca connection with Richo played a role but the other factor was the Pelican and co were afraid to pull the trigger. They went the safe option. As I said in another post, you must dare to win and we (Pelican) didn't dare.

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
Austinnn - the ignore function at Bigfooty blocks all posts and quotes with the ignored posters name in it.
I have BigFart on ignore over there and never see his posts. Most people have done the same and he has almost stopped posting and must have taken his Narcissistic Personality Disorder to some other poor unfortunates.
So come on over - no citywest - his alter ego nexus-Helen is banned and the troll has a permanent ip ban over there.

Oh shockiing!citywest wrote:Ok, I'll put it out there.
Richo knows the Petracca family personally and has done so for years.
Does that mean that when Petracca becomes eligible for free agency he will show loyalty to the club and refuse to leave thus preventing the club getting a compensatory pick.

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
This not the first time we failed to trade pick no 1.
In 2000 we took a pathetic blonde kid called Nick Riewoldt instead of pick 4 Luke Livingston (Carlton) and pick 7 Laurence Angwin (Adelaide).
In 2002 we took a hopeless kid called Brendon Goddard instead of pick 4 Tim Walsh (Western Bulldogs) and pick 7 Andrew Mackie (Geelong).
Both times we failed hopelessly.
Maybe this third time we will get someone who can play the game.

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
a lot of angst on this thread for very little substance...
citywest was told we would trade 1 for 4+7.
Jaxons told us we were offered 4+7 for 1+21...
So, basically, the offer of 1 for 4+7 was never offered to us...
If we were offered 4+7 for 1, and were allowed to keep 21.. maybe we would have taken it
It seems we have some degree of confidence in getting decent players with 21+22, because 1+21 was considered better than 4+7 by our recruiters
citywest then followed with Richo link to petracca family.. it seems there is a link, so again he was somewhat correct..
But it also seems certain that the link was not the reason we kept pick 1
There is no way Richo makes that call... if pelican and trout wanted to make the deal, it would have been made
and that is about all there dis to it, folks

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
I think Pelchen got the arse because he promised us that Boyd had shown interest in moving to the Saints next year and they were broadsided by the dogs. My guess from rumours. He had a fairly embarrassing trade period after promising a lot of action.

Im guessing that had nothing to do with it. I think he was gone well before the trade period.
