Anyone heard anything? Are we into anyone? I really hope we go hard at a big name player at the end of the year.
Daisy Thomas? Dustin Martin?? Who's out there!
Lets start spending that cash!

Re: Free agent
Eddie Betts
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Re: Free agent
Betts and Nahas would be good with Milney retiring and saad in trouble. Excellent pickups.

Re: Free agent
I'd take Betts for 300k if we could train him to work in the midfield and Nahas on minimum wage which I think is 80k...not sure what I'd train Nahas to do.

Re: Free agent
I'd like to hear that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has been leaked by our club prior to any deals being done during Trade Week. I say; Let Pelchen & Bains give us all a few pleasant surprises !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Re: Free agent
I wouldnt waste our time getting a FA this season. There is only about 4 players worth getting and they are all over 26 years of age. They will be well over thirty when we are ready to challenge for the 8. I suggest we wait until the next year or two. I see us being bottom or second bottom in the next 2 years which will give is great draft picks, a top pre season pick and then we can attack the FA. 3 or 4 good players in one or two years can make a huge difference. Thats what happened in 2000 and 2001.

Re: Free agent
sounds like a plan to me
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Re: Free agent
How about we get rid of 3 small forwards and Clint Jones… get ourselves 2 full backs for the sake of structure, we have none… That would at least give our medium defenders a chance to play on a guy less than 10cm taller…plugger66 wrote:I wouldnt waste our time getting a FA this season.

We need a mature back next year, not in 3 years or we will be slaughtered X4 that we are seeing this year… we have the cap space, so we need to do the best we can.

I didnt say we cant get a FB. I said it isnt owrth getting a FA and I dont think there are any FB available as FA anyway. Surely there are mature FB who are only 22 or 23 years of age.
