Our club has a history of trading early draft picks for players who havent produced. I cant believe people are happy to trade our 1st round for a 27 yo (Rockliff 800k p/y) who at best will give us 3 solid years.

We are not in the flag window - surely our recruiters arent falling for the same old carrot?

What do you know about a 'Bigger Name Player', we are dealing with at the moment, your office is bigger than mine, so if expect you to know!!!!!

So going on your history, this means that Fyfe/Rockliff or whoever will stay with their club.

Cool.

Hi Jax, thanks for your tidbits! It gives us something to discuss and mull over and a bit of excitement at this team of year. As you can see, I think almost everyone has been quite excepting of the fluid nature of this time of year and have not resorted to directing any frustration solely at yourself. Bravo to the SS team!

Read somewhere that we are interested in Jarryd Lyons, any truth to that rumour?

No one else has come out regarding Laverde except the AFL article...?

Could still be developing or done and dusted. Going against a verbal acceptance is bad business.

He plays like me.

Doesnt' get a game even in a team depleted by suspensions.
Didn't he have a shoulder injury and then an ankle injury on his return this season?
Huh I have one screw in my right shoulder
oh and nine screws and a metal plate in my left shoulder.
Maybe that is why he plays like me.
And we both won't ever be on St Kilda's list

From stavro#4 at BF

I'm going to warn everyone the chances of this happening are less then extremely slim.

But I understand our club has approached Tom Mitchell's management again. I believe he will still be a Swan or go to the Hawks.. But that's what I've heard

Jaxons what is going on with Laverde? There is still nothing official saying he has re-signed. I think we are still in play here.

Whilst I agree it is strange no announcement has been made on laverde I think that iron is no longer in the fire.

Cal twomey doesn't typically write up rumours a la barret et al. He bases his stories on fact

Laverde is a typical tweener/flanker who is nothing special... Bit of Markworth about him

He could be the next Markworth, but guys like Fyfe and Goddard were tweeners too. Just because we missed him isn't a reason to convince ourselves he is nothing special - a week after we were convincing ourselves he was the opposite when we were in play.

If we get him for pick 46 = very good result.

Depends, foot might be shot and not play next year at all, who knows, if that's the case, then I don't believe its a 'very good' result, but a 'fair' result considering the circumstances.

Fair call. But I think people recover well from naviculars these days. Twenty years maybe not so much.
