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.

Oh when the Saints go marching in
I want to be there at Moorabbin
When the Saints go marching in
Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside,
Oh I do like to be beside the sea.
And down at the Junction is the football ground,
And that's where the Saints all hang around.
So lets give three cheers for old St Kilda,
For this year the Premiers they may be.
Though it's not yet in the bag,
We've got hopes of winning the flag,
Beside the seaside, beside the sea.

Re: Jaxons come on down
Just trying to claw back a bit of high ground after they got off "One cup" Island and we are still staring out to sea wistfully like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Tongue firmly in cheek - but still think their name change was unnecessary and destroyed some of their history.st.byron wrote:Completely disagree with you on this Bluthy.

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.

Looks like Rockliff is a done deal! Pick 10 for Rockliff??
Not bad IMO...even better if we get Steele as well

Re: Jaxons come on down
I assume it isnt a straight swap?
They give us 19, 20 or 24 back and we use that for Steele?
So pick 10 for Rocky + Steele.
The question needs to be asked - do we need all four of Rocky, Armo, Dunstan and Ross? All too similar for mine. We then have Acres and Steele as inside/outsides and Steven and Freeman as outside mids.
I would move on one of Armo or Dunstan for the right price and get in another fast outside mid. Just for balance.

Re: Jaxons come on down
I'm not thrilled with this either. Smacks of going too hard too early.Con Gorozidis wrote:PIck 10 for a 27 yo slow midfielder.
Im not impressed.
Surely they give us pick 19, 20 or 24 back?
We then get Steele as well? So we end up with Steele and Rocky for 10? That seems decent.
Then if we can somehow get another pick in the 20s to use on a kid in the draft.
Also Jaxons said there's no way we'd trade 10... guess anything is for sale at the right price.

Re: Jaxons come on down
So the Lions are clearly starting from scratch with a youth policy.
Hanley and Rocky gone.
Good move by Fagan as it buys him some time.

Re: Jaxons come on down
Hopefully Rockcliff is wrong as has no defensive side to his game and doesn't hurt you with his possessions, unless at half forward . Definitely not worth pick 10.

You would think Dunstan for Hartlett would be on if that was the case.Con Gorozidis wrote:I assume it isnt a straight swap?

10, Dunstan for Steele, Hartlett and Rockliff.

Re: Jaxons come on down
I'm not sure but others are...I can't see why it is bad...Rockliff is a very good player...in affect we get Rockliff and Steele for pick ten...I think that is excellent
Re: Jaxons come on down
I didn't say it was bad, just wondering if there's any truth to it, Rocky has been a rumour for a long time, even Joey mentioned him, however thats all its beenThe Recruit wrote:I'm not sure but others are...I can't see why it is bad...Rockliff is a very good player...in affect we get Rockliff and Steele for pick ten...I think that is excellent
