Hickey gone?

[mad saint guy]

Hickey is the best ruckman on our list by far and I really hope we get something more than pick 40 in return if we trade him. I could live with it if we then traded pick 40 for Preuss but he seems destined for Melbourne for some unknown reason.

Seriously how can a team expect to be competitive with Longer, Pierce and Marshall as its ruck stocks? None of those guys would get a game in the ruck for 17 other clubs.

I still say we hold out for the best pick possible. In this case around pick #20. Or their compensation pick at 22 or whatever it is.
We could use it for Chad Wingard. I like the sound of that.

[Viscount Jeremiah]

I think we can look forward to more development from Marshall next year, but imo he's a forward come ruckman not the other way around.

I could be wrong, he could turn into a gun ruck forward. Doubt he would ever be a hit out monster though.

I really hope the club doesn't stuff this up.

Lycett is gone, to Port.
Released statement saying he's grateful to WCE
but excited to going to the club he supported since childhood.

WCE gets compo pick at end of first round.

This will strengthen the grab for Hickey.
WCE might give us their compo pick.

Lycett, a compo pick at the end of the first round?? - go pull the other one afl. Lucky to be an end of second round pick. WTF is going on??

would seem to be fair to compensate us with that pick for Hickey then

Value and length of contract

[silverhalo]

I would play hard ball and not surrender our No.1 ruckman for anything less than their Pick 20 OR Pick 22. They'll have an issue with that because they're hoping to trade them both to Geelong for Kelly.

I'd rather keep Tom Hickey anyway and offload Billy.....

We got bent over in the Cripps deal, hope it doesn't happen here as well.

[CarlTaughtMeEnglish]

According to an article in the paper WC will use 20 and 22 to satisfy Geelong for Kelly.

Embarassing our Ruck Stocks. IMO only one that looks like a player is Marshall and that’s as a forward resting ruckman..

Longer, Hickey and Pierce all not up to being a good ruckman imo... disappointing

Certainly he'd get a game as a forward who can support the main ruckman but not as a starting ruck.

I’d be happy to turn Tom into Hannebery and a young player off of West coasts list.

With the view that we can never have to many Jack’s at the Saints how about a swap of Hickey for Jack Petruccelle and 38.

Don’t know anything about Jack other than what google tells me but he is a Victorian who won the 20 metre sprint at the 2017 combine and went pick 38. Played his first 3 games this year and kicked 2 goals... and his names Jack!

38 could be used to get Hannebery.

If it’s not Jack, saints need to find someone on WC list where the come home factors stronger than playing in a grand final next year. That shouldn’t be a hard sell.
