[The Fireman]

is his name on the locker yet ?

He's coming, is he Fiery?????

[Linton Lodger]

Kelly will sign a 2 or 3 year contract so he can finish the business of winning a premiership and then sell out to the highest bidder.

I'm not sure about Martin. I've got a feeling he will stay at the tigers.

But what if GWS win this years Premiership, why would he stay then?

That's a very good question, many 'experts' on here written off GWS?????

End of the game Nick to hand over his Number 12 to Dusty

These types of selections are what our Recruiters get paid for. Let's hope that they are good enough to get a top-notch name in, but I am not confident. Apart from Carlisle, their overall track record is not great.

Really? In last weeks side we had Steele, Roberton, Longer, Bruce, Savage, Weller, Brown and Membrey. All except for Weller have been good contributors for us this year. Membrey, Steele Bruce and Roberton are better than average players with potential A grade ability and none of them cost us anything more than pick 25 in the draft.
I would suggest that our recent trading has been very, very good

To win another one.

Stop arguing just get them all.

Martin, Whitfield and pick 9.....that will do nicely, thanks

Fair call.
Roberton was lucky because he is a local kid and every club in AFL benefits from a Roberton style 'come home' deal.

But overall you are right - Steele, Bruce, Sav, Brown and Membrey have been good trades for us. All bargains really.

Technically we paid pick 21 for Longer. So that is probably fair value.

In recent times the Saints tend to be better traders than draft pickers

There is no way I'd pay the money being bandied about for Martin
Great player but can be shut down as a mid (we did it) and not worth 1.5m a year as North supposedly offered. List suicide.
Kelly or Martin our class problems run deeper than a 1 player solution ...... I'm starting to think a couple of Whitfield quality types is a smarter play.....

Yep, list suicide to pay that amount for anyone.

[GregPackhamsHeadband]

I doubt he'd want to go to a club like Norf. A club on the downward slope that will struggle for a few more years at least. They have possibly the worst list in the competition. One player won't fix it. At Norf, He'll be a star in a bottom four team for the next 4-5 years, by which time his career will be in its twighlight. If Richmond comes anywhere near close to that offer, then he'll stay. At least he'll be in a competitive team. I'd love him at the saints, but not at 1.5 million a year.

Interesting point, relating to how easily Richo shut him down and how good he actually is. It will be interesting to see how Martin goes in Finals. Can he take a deep final by the scruff of the neck, as say Lenny Hayes could? Only then would he be worth that sort of currency.

I think management is of the same opinion as Teflon.

Waldron says we want Dusty.
Brad Hardie said a few weeks back, that Lyon's reps rang the Filth.
Barrett said Dempster was unhappy at the Saints with not being picked.

Are these media types just like the old guy in the pub who looks at everyone through one bleary eye?

The evidence for your last statement is a little ambiguous.

I just spat my lunch over my keyboard.

Is there a refund if he is deported?

Deported to Castlemaine?

[Yorkeys]

Qld or Tassie when North are merged.

[Jacks Back]

I don't think you can play AFL if you are a dual citizen.
