Re: Jaxons come on down (2017/18 thread)
Soooooooo in other news
Sloan is a big chance of being a Saint next year. Plenty of rumors around.
Are we happy to part with 7&8? or 7 and our first rounder next year?

He will be 28 next year, so no way. Pick 7 or 8 could be just as good themselves with a 10-15 year career ahead of them.The Recruit wrote:Soooooooo in other news

Why are established players worth double?

Have a feeling it might be tabled....increases our chances of top 4 dramatically next year.
Sloan is a very very good player

Because they are established afl players, something d/picks will take about three years to achieve IF they're up to it.saint-stu wrote:He will be 28 next year, so no way. Pick 7 or 8 could be just as good themselves with a 10-15 year career ahead of them.The Recruit wrote:Soooooooo in other news

That said he would definitely take the pressure/attention away from some of our other mids and possibly free them up ie: Steven

Re: Jaxons come on down (2017/18 thread)
Also was on the money with Rhys Stanley. There are a lot of people on here who need to be heard.... it is an Internet forum after all. But why one particular poster has to be the object of ridicule, a poster who many on here appreciate, that part I don't understand. I trust Jaxons in many ways because he can't answer right now every question, but does so without baiting and a thousand exclamation marks. As an ex Elwood man I also enjoy the pavs cynicism and Gregie can post some insightful stuff too. And that is the point, let people be heard, why does it bother you? Jaxon ain't stealing your thunder, just chillax.Verdun66 wrote:Hang in there Jaxons. Love hearing any bits of news. If they don't work out, no worries,

Re: Jaxons come on down (2017/18 thread)
Why the angst again jaxons? Did I miss his/her posts trumpeting his/her god-like infallibility and divine greatness?
I happen to know who jaxons is!
Actually, I don't. However, I have heard from someone who is (at least) reasonably itk at our Saints. Anyway, this person believes that jaxons does know what he/she is on about when making these calls. (No one has to believe this either, if they don't wish to. But I choose to believe.) I've been further informed that the calls made by jaxons have been correct... at the time they were made.
And whilst I'm on a roll, it would also be good to go easy on tony74. Again, he/she is making calls that are correct at the time, and are made based on the information that his/her position gives him/her access to. And tony74 is not posting to big note either, but to set the record straight when certain blatant misconceptions about his/her beloved saints are being aired on here. Furthermore, the club knows about tony74's posting, and is very comfortable that he/she won't post anything that shouldn't be made public. So we can all relax on that one too.
These two posters are far and away this sites most prolific sources of itk info. (Yes, we do have several others who post stuff occasionally, and whom I also choose to believe in. But for whatever reason/s, their contributions are relatively rare.) And this site has previously howled down what I considered a real coup at the time - the membership of a former coach... regardless of people's assessment of said coach's time at our club. So much of the 'breaking news' used to be on SS. But these days...
Unlike some, I love the argy-bargy on this site. Love the humour. Love the (at times) grand theatre, and especially (at other times) the high farce. Laugh a minute entertainment.
I never want this place to become like Big Cardigan. But maybe sometimes just a little circumspection is needed...? We've lost enough of our finest (and that's certainly includes people whose pov I often disagreed with).
Anyway, thanks for reading (to those who did), and now, back to the grand theatrics and high farce, SS-style.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Jaxons' comment was:
"Ok will tell you now Nick Haynes likely to be with us next year."
Things may or may not have changed, Haynes may be more or less likely to leave GWS.
It'd be sad if we lost any hope of hearing the tiny morsels we are given because of the hounding on this site

Ok, some clarification: WILL and LIKELY are vastly different!
Likely such as well might happen or be true; probable.
"speculation on the likely effect of opting out"
synonyms: probable, distinctly possible, to be expected, odds-on, on, possible, credible, plausible, believable, within the bounds of possibility, imaginable; More

Really disappointed with some of the comments on here guys.
Play nice or dont play at all.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for some of the comments written in here.
Try some self moderation. (I would like to come on here occasionally and just read and have input as well)
Please - lets start a fresh from here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am hopeful we take 7 and 8 to the draft at this stage.

parkeysainter and mr headband need to jog on, no need to piss in the Saintsational milkshake and spoiling it for everyone else. If you don't like it here or are just involved to be controversial then stick to reading your Andrew Bolt and put your 5 cents into that piggy bank!
In trade news, I heard that Luke Parker is on our radar - Sydney are keen to go after Rory Thompson from the GC and need to free up their salary cap whilst also getting in an early pick. Parker is almost surplus to their needs given they have a good group of young mids coming up (Oliver Florent, Mills, Heeney, Jones etc) plus he hasn't set the world on fire in a few of the bigger games. Would be a great get in my opinion.
Also, Luke Dalhaus is another one who is getting thrown up as gettable for the right price. I love the trade period!
