No news so 'Saints must have huge shock trade coming..'

Maybe they were catching up for a chat for old times sake or maybe there is something more involved.

Re: Jaxons come on down
AFL.com article about general trade news mentioned that Jack Steele is still weighing up his options, and his decision will not be announced until after the GWS B&F this Friday

Re: Jaxons come on down
I just read that the GWS B+F is on this Friday. So this may well be why Steele has not made a public declaration for the Saints as that would tend to mean that he could not attend. Whereas there is no reason not to announce that he is staying. So I will take this as a good omen.

Re: Jaxons come on down
Agree with prior post... "Go very hard" at Tom Mitchell. Younger than Hartlett, proven in big games. We have the cap money.
Get Steele, Mitchell and our onball brigade is starting to look competitive with the best.
Find another decent backman and maybe a player with speed and skill. Motlop type ! He is suspect in big games, point being I think we need another line breaker.
I just hope we don't talk the talk around draft period. Need to hit and deliver like Geelong last year.

I still think we will land Steele.
The delay could be as a result of the Saints trying to bundle two GWS players together for pick 10. Maybe Steele and Corr??
If we can nail those two trades for our first round pick then the club has done exceptionally well IMO.

Steele and Corr together are not worth a pick 10.

The week of rumour and innuendo continues, come Monday then it hot up, and have a feeling there could be some movement and perhaps people moved that some may be surprised at aka McEvoy like move- no inside info, just a feeling.

Maybe a second or third round pick. Those two won't be the difference in us going up the ladder.

Yeah and the Western Bulldogs have only won a single flag. If you change your name and sell out your history for commercial and bulls*** marketing reasons you are the weakest, most gutless, soulless club - even more than the start ups.Rosco wrote:Port only has 1

What sport do we play again?"
Suck it up you plastic franchise "Western Bulldogs" with just one premiership. We stood strong and kept our identity and proud history. We weren't desperate enough to change our name like were criminals going into the Witness Protection program.

Re: Jaxons come on down
Completely disagree with you on this Bluthy. Changed their name.....changed nothing else. Still at the Western Oval, still have the same home jumper, still have the same mascot. Don't think they've sold out their history. Maybe they did it to survive.Bluthy wrote:Yeah and the Western Bulldogs have only won a single flag.

I've got lots of respect for the way they've not only survived but managed to succeed.
"Plastic franchise Western Bulldogs". Harsh, very harsh and unfair. You sound bitter and mean.
