Jaxons come on down

[dragit]

I just made one up to make people really angry:

Billings to Essendon

Hibberd to Melbourne

Kennedy-Harris to the Saints

I'd prefer to deal with Essendon directly, we have a history of trading pretty effectively with them.

That's true, maybe Billings and pick 10 for Baguley & their 2nd?

[Teflon]

i love it

No news so 'Saints must have huge shock trade coming..'

Then we draft Corr....lol

Maybe its quiet cause we aint doing much? OR cant attract much? OR will hang on to 10 and hit draft?

[Saintly Passion]

Don't know if it means anything but Nick Dal Santo was having coffee this morning at Mr. Brightside in Caulfield with Ameet Baines.
Maybe they were catching up for a chat for old times sake or maybe there is something more involved.

Family reunion?

Dal seeking out advice from Baines on which clubs may be interested in his services for a year or so.

Believe they are friends? Wasn't there a similar post last year or so?

[The Recruit]

a lot of chat on twitter

Fyfe to saints for 5years 1.5million a year...some stating its a done deal...twitter is very unreliable but the rumors are still out there!

[ace]

Bill Brownless just said he heard of a potential three way trade
McCarthy to Freo
Ballantyne to Eagles
Mackenzie to GWS

that would give the Giants
-Mackenzie
-Davis
-Patful
and Tomlinson.

If that happens I hope a few little birds get back in the ear of Tomlinson

It would need a lot picks involved to even the ledger…

McCarthy is worth a fortune.

McKenzie would be worth a little bit but is turning 29.

Ballantyne is worth about a can of coke.

Nah, more like a four & twenty pie in the face, no sauce.

[Ross who?]

AFL.com article about general trade news mentioned that Jack Steele is still weighing up his options, and his decision will not be announced until after the GWS B&F this Friday

[prwilkinson]

Armo is on the front of the membership flyer that arrived today so he must be staying. Although he is looking down and looks pretty sad - maybe thinking of the dogs win and all our bad luck.

And the tag line might be a bit of unfortunate timing "We know we are building something special that no other club has" Yeah one f****** premiership cup

New 2017 home jumper looks interesting.

[saintsRrising]

I just read that the GWS B+F is on this Friday. So this may well be why Steele has not made a public declaration for the Saints as that would tend to mean that he could not attend. Whereas there is no reason not to announce that he is staying. So I will take this as a good omen.

Bingo

I reckon he might stay at GWS

"We know we are building something special that no other club has" - a huge collection of wooden spoons? (sorry, warped sense of humour)

need another premiership cup to keep them all in soon.

or perhaps "A new home ground, which was our old home ground, which we left to build a new home ground, which we will be leaving to return to our old (new) home ground"

Biggest trophy cabinet ever built ?

No, a bespoke one-trophy cabinet.

[Rocket]

Agree with prior post... "Go very hard" at Tom Mitchell. Younger than Hartlett, proven in big games. We have the cap money.

Get Steele, Mitchell and our onball brigade is starting to look competitive with the best.

Find another decent backman and maybe a player with speed and skill. Motlop type ! He is suspect in big games, point being I think we need another line breaker.

I just hope we don't talk the talk around draft period. Need to hit and deliver like Geelong last year.

Yep. One of a kind. None of this off the shelf buso.

We're very niche.

[damienc]

I reckon he might stay at GWS

I still think we will land Steele.

The delay could be as a result of the Saints trying to bundle two GWS players together for pick 10. Maybe Steele and Corr??

If we can nail those two trades for our first round pick then the club has done exceptionally well IMO.

They would have to send us something back.

Steele and Corr together are not worth a pick 10.

Might be waiting until after B&F as otherwise could be quite uncomfortable, especially seeing no guarantees on trades going through.

The week of rumour and innuendo continues, come Monday then it hot up, and have a feeling there could be some movement and perhaps people moved that some may be surprised at aka McEvoy like move- no inside info, just a feeling.

Maybe a second or third round pick. Those two won't be the difference in us going up the ladder.

Port only has 1

Yeah and the Western Bulldogs have only won a single flag. If you change your name and sell out your history for commercial and bulls*** marketing reasons you are the weakest, most gutless, soulless club - even more than the start ups.

"Hi Ted Frunkle here, Marketing manager and Synergy adviser. Look we need to delocate our brand to rise above geographical ties which gives us leverage in the market place australia wide including online synastic development. "Footscray" is such a downer - implies crime, drugs and cheap asian stores. "Western" has strong power as a word implying gunfighters and the great powers of the Western world. What sport do we play again?"

Suck it up you plastic franchise "Western Bulldogs" with just one premiership. We stood strong and kept our identity and proud history. We weren't desperate enough to change our name like were criminals going into the Witness Protection program.

Completely disagree with you on this Bluthy. Changed their name.....changed nothing else. Still at the Western Oval, still have the same home jumper, still have the same mascot. Don't think they've sold out their history. Maybe they did it to survive.
I've got lots of respect for the way they've not only survived but managed to succeed.
"Plastic franchise Western Bulldogs". Harsh, very harsh and unfair. You sound bitter and mean.
