Jordan De Goey UFA???
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/ ... 9643e09c7c
Collingwood isn’t prepared to pay overs to keep Jordan De Goey – and the Saints could be getting ready to pounce. Is it the right call? A club great thinks so. All the latest trade news.
St Kilda great Brendon Goddard has backed the Saints to make a bold play for Collingwood superstar free agent Jordan De Goey.
The Saints are weighing up a big-money bid for the goal kicking midfielder, who is out of contract at season’s end.
While the Magpies remain interested in keeping De Goey beyond this season, Collingwood is not prepared to pay overs to keep the restricted free agent.
It means a rival club such as St Kilda could poach the match winner on a blockbuster deal as a free agent, without giving up a top draft pick.
The Saints, who have the longest premiership drought in the game, have made bold calls on a string of high-priced recruits in recent years including injury-stricken midfielder Daniel Hannebery, premiership Hawk Brad Hill and ex-Crow Brad Crouch and face a huge decision whether to take the plunge on the Pie.
Under free agency rules, the Magpies would be compensated with a prized early draft choice (currently No. 11 based on ladder position) if De Goey sought a fresh start after eight years in black and white.
Goddard, who moved from St Kilda to Essendon as a free agent, said the Saints should enter the market for De Goey if it did not compromise their salary cap or negatively impact the team dynamic.
“If they have the money (spare) and they don’t have to move mountains to fit him in, I think they would do it,” Goddard said.
“So then it is him and (Max) King on the best part of about $1 million (a year) or thereabouts and it does not compromise your ability to be a little bit flexible over the next three or four years because they will probably still get to a point where they might need to add another piece or two.
“But they would need to make sure he has a good life balance and has addressed any issues in terms of his behaviour.
“But I would support it.”
Goddard, who is interested in a coaching career at the top level, said De Goey’s breakaway speed at the stoppage and goal kicking power made him an excellent fit for the Saints.
The 26-year-old has averaged 21 disposals and one goal a game over the past 18 months. He finished fourth in the Magpies’ best and fairest last year.
“I think a 60 (forward) 40 (midfield) split is best where he could be having 20-22 possessions and still kicking you three goals a game,” Goddard said.
“Then he sits next to King and then (Tim) Membrey becomes a better player because he has boxed above his weight division and suddenly he gets the third defender.
“And he (De Goey) could tag in and out of the midfield with (Jade) Gresham, so it definitely fits well for St Kilda from a personnel perspective.”
The Saints have made a strong start to the 2022 season and could surge into the top-four mix with a win over Geelong at Marvel Stadium on Saturday.
The Saints will weigh up De Goey’s on-field exploits and off-field misdemeanours, which included a New York nightclub fracas over Christmas.
Brett Ratten’s men recruited Crouch at the end of 2020 after the hard-nut midfielder was caught with an illicit substance at Adelaide.
In an interview with the Herald Sun that year, list boss James Gallagher explained how the club assesses character in their recruiting process after a tour to sporting clubs in the US.
“If you have had trouble with guns or violence, it rules you out straight away,” Gallagher said.
“But if you are not going great at school, or you are not polished with your language or whatever it is maybe that is OK, because that might just be your background or what you had been exposed to.
“But what happens when you get these guys into a footy club?
“Do they work their backsides off? Do they help their teammates get better? Do they care?
“Are they good company to be around? Are they good in the locker room? That is what ultimately determines things.”

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
I think there is synergy with St Kilda, Do Goey and Hanners.
De Goey = Repeated injuries. hamstring, ankle, bone stress...
and visit to Dr. Strangelove in..MUnich

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-fi ... bb979e212e
Play a homegame in Munich!
Enter into a sport medicine sponsorship deal..
Prost!
#notably, a load of pros have been to that clinic, so if Hanners gets good, and we win a flag with Hanners and De Goey, I didn't write this.

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
The thing about De Goey, I believe he's very accurate at goal kicking.
I haven't checked though.
If he comes to us, will he retain his radar, or will he catch our disease?

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
sell the farm and your soul to get him if he's available. He's exactly what all midfields need. I don't watch football for moral guidance nor am in search of moral role models so I couldn't give a stuff about how he leads his life off the field.
Put it this way, without a player like De Goey in our midfield, we won't be winning flag anytime soon.

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
For sure Pav but is it risk for reward ? Sure as hell is a lot better prospect than Hanna's & that risk has definitely been a disaster . Good player but would cost mega bucks & has baggage so I'm saying no , but would he want to come to us anyway

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
He's already plenty injured.
Munich clinic already.
By the time he's 28 he might be cooked.

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
Grabbing him or Taranto would be a massive step back for the club. Both massively overhyped players. There will be plenty of better options come trade season.

Apparently I have posted before - 7 times- must have been similarly motivated

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
No way! Ridiculous idea
Let's recruit a Tom Mitchell type (someone clean cut who is consistent). He doesn't have to have explosive speed or be a goal kicking mid.
Or...If he has to be a goal kicker, let's get another small forward

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
Getting him would be against the moneyball story.
He's gonna be highly paid.
I thought Moneyball was about guys who weren't big stars on big coin, but would complement the other guys

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
If we add DeGoey and Amon next year we're Top 4 for sure.
I have my concerns about DeGoey like everyone else. Alot of allegations against him and while innocent until proven guilty, there is a lot of smoke there. Also injury prone.
Adding them means we'll probably loose a few also. It's a gamble but pay off is massive.

Re: Jordan De Goey UFA???
No question, DeGoey is exactly the sort of excitement machine in the midfield and up forward that St Kilda needs desperately to get the team firing, he is almost as good as Dusty and at 26 you like to think he has settled down and focussed on becoming a premiership player. There are not many of his type in the game.Vortex wrote: ↑Fri 13 May 2022 9:19pm sell the farm and your soul to get him if he's available. He's exactly what all midfields need.

Put it this way, without a player like De Goey in our midfield, we won't be winning flag anytime soon.
It remains to be seen if he would want to play for the Saints because if he does shop around the likes of Richmond, Geelong, Sydney could be more attractive...

Seb Ross has him covered in all areas including disposal efficiency, etc ... (except for goal average).
We shouldn't offer him more than what Seb Ross is getting.

If Ross averaged 6 less kicks a game and had 200 more career goals, he'd be getting paid $800,000 or would be at a better club getting more.samoht wrote: ↑Sat 14 May 2022 12:46pm Seb Ross has him covered in all areas including disposal efficiency, etc ... (except for goal average).
