If they get Gilbert they cant get BJ unless we trade. Doubt they would take Gilbert this year and take the risk of missing BJ next year. My guess is he is on holidays. Should he inform the club if he has holidays interstate?

Was he wearing a GWS T-shirt or drinking a beer using one of their stubby holders?


I once spent a year in Adelaide, I think it was on a Sunday.

Well maybe he tried to notify the club but the switchboard girl has quit to join the Demons?

I saw Milney on the Gold Coast early this year. Just holidaying. They're all on holidays now, who knows if they're talking "business".

I saw Schnider in Bunnings..... career change perhaps?????

I wouldn't be too fussed if he goes......at least for a decent draft pick....


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

Lance or James??

what would we seriously get for him though, a second rounder? not worth letting him go if that's all we can get in a compromised draft. we would need to offer a package (another player or pick) to get anything worthwhile.

Salary cap relief and a young player that can kick the freakin ball.


Just had to clarify.


"Now the ball is loose, it gives St. Kilda a rough chance. Black. Good handpass. Voss. Schwarze now, the defender, can run and from a long way".....

The guy is on annual leave, but IF he were going I wouldn't be that upset, as long as we got a decent trade for him.

I can't believe people would be happy to see him go.

He was nominated AA and equal third in the b&f before going through quite an awful time.

If goes so be it, but I'd rather we didn't offload one of our guys in the 23-25 mix as we have a big enough gap between the senior guys and the young kids....

I thought he was important to our last few weeks and making the finals, it didn't appear a fluke to me that guys like Gilbert were improving, so the team did.

The stupidity abounds once again, culling the good players doesn't make you better, making the list so good that Gilbert is on the fringes by developing players already at the club or drafting good players in would be preferable. Not all high draft picks make it even. Xavier Clarke was first round from memory,A. Walker was number 1 draft pick about 10 years ago and is starting to now show something, Tambling, Gumbleton etc. etc.
