1. Seb Ross seen at Essendon
2. Treloar coming to the saints - No room
3. Saints wanting to Trade Webster and Dunstan - no club has had a strong interest, They got injured at the wrong time
4. Carlislewanting to trade him - hoping he will stay will be resolved within the next week.
5. Lonie - there is interest in him but have an offer in front of him that hoping he will accept
6. Higgins to replace Lonie - Saints are not pursuing him only interest if he came out and said he wanted to come to the Saints.

Re: Fake News
Pretty much what Gallagher said today. Things can change over the next week, though. Not so much with the Treloar situation, but with Higgins. I still think that one is in play, but may depend on us moving one or two players out. Gallagher was firm on us keeping our first pick

Re: Fake News
Keeping first pick means having a crack next year at Ben King - due to the rules on first round draft pick trading.

I’m convinced this is the case. When Ben signed the one year extension Lethers was door stoped at Moorabbin and he said something along the lines of “that’s fine, let Ben develop up on the Gold Coast”. Another year of Ben and Max at different clubs being the main targets allow them both to grow quickly. And when playing together in 2022 they will 2 of the best 5 forwards in the comp.

Re: Fake News
They are still hopeful of getting Treloar over on BF, but unless we off load 3 or 4 players eg Dunstwn, Webster, Roberton we are no chance. The only way I would want him then, if Gallagher was able to renegotiate his contract.

Re: Fake News
I’d rather leave it at Crouch for this year. Allows us to give Clark and Bytel more midfield time in 2021 and free up some cap space for a FA. There are some big names potentially up for grabs next year.Impatient Sainter wrote: ↑Fri 06 Nov 2020 6:44pm They are still hopeful of getting Treloar over on BF, but unless we off load 3 or 4 players eg Dunstwn, Webster, Roberton we are no chance.

Re: Fake News
Some folks are pretty certain we’re getting Ben King either at the end of 2021 or 2022. He’s contracted until the end of 2022 so GC have all the power. No certainty at all he’ll end up a Saint.Goose is king wrote: ↑Fri 06 Nov 2020 6:00pmI’m convinced this is the case.

Re: Fake News
I think the Ben King thing is a pipe dream
He will be used to being the big dog at end GC days and I can not see the appeal of coming in to saints to live in Max’s shadow as a CHB...Dogs supposedly said they’d have a serious crack if he comes out and he’d be miles ahead of Bruce
Yes the FA list looks good next year....but how many of them become realistically gettable? How many re-sign at their clubs while we fight it out with multiple clubs for what’s left?
Treloar is here and now. He improves us immediately in an area we need it. IF Pies get desperate, pay a chunk of his salary over 5 and take a second rounder to get rid of him.....you do it
Facts are no one is banging down our door for Ross, Dunstan, Roberton, Webster.......tells you plenty.....good depth players but they’re getting paid some serious coin as we were Shyte a few years back....truth is we probably need 2 of them gone to fit Treloar in and I can’t see that occurring while lists are being reduced.......clubs won’t be rushing to take offcuts

Re: Fake News
Ming and Bing could be FF and CHF
I agree it is unlikely but I don't see Bing living in Maxs shadow...they would be a dynamic forward line.
Put Battle at CHB Clavarino at FB and you would have a total Haileybury spine.

Re: Fake News
I would hope that was Wednesday and Thursday past, because Trades finish this coming Thursday.
I think “Stevo” makes more sense.
I feel clubs will pick up him, Phillips and the Yank cheap early this week to help fix the Pies salary cap problem and Treloar will go because a trade will be made with a club with cap room after failing to land their intended targets e.g. Essendon missing out on Dunkley or Geelong missing out in Cameron

Re: Fake News
A bit worrying because that would mean we don't get Higgins.
I would prefer him over the rest. 21 and a gun. A Saints man and a good guy. Enthusiastic, fun, good trainer and really talented.
The Coll 2 are a little bit mentally suspect. Like Beams and Stuv. ROI is doubtful. We as a club no longer have to do that.

Well I feel better now that Higgins has nominated us.

Re: Fake News
Higgins came out and said he was interested and the deal was done.
Other supposed fake news deals did not get done.

Treloar wanted to come but we just couldn't fit him in apparently.

He lives in Highett. A five minute drive to Moorabbin. Would have been appealing to him.
