Latest trade update.

[Impatient Sainter]

From proven ITK on BF St Deewhy

Jim Webster to Essendon will be for pick whatever the highest bombers have, we will be giving his contract to Jack Higgins, we need his $$ off the books.
Dunstan is off to the Blues...
We are heavily into Hurley as Carlisle replacement (off to Hawthorn) and Lones is out the door also but I think we are all thought that was the case anyway...Essendon will pay some of Hurleys $$$ as they want his contract off the books.
Adelaide won’t match Crouch, compo pick will then upgraded to our 15 as part of a trade which will be Pick 20 and a later pick for our Pick 15.

Not convinced Hurley is a better option than Carlisle.

But the rest makes sense.

I wonder if we are swapping Seb for Hurley?

[CarlD]

The Hurley move would be an odd one. Max gave him a going over. Hurley doesn’t look the player he was.

[The_Dud]

Hurley looked cooked from what I saw of him this year, would much prefer Carlisle.

[Devilhead]

St Deewhy a known ITK???

He has posted 28 times - not sure how known that is

[Saint 58]

I hope Webster stays

[SaintPav]

Max gave a few players the going over such as Talia etc.

[saintsRrising]

Agree Hurley makes no sense. Backward step for mine.

Only 192cm and on the decline. Huge downgrade from Carlisle and some games you want tow BIG key backs.

I would rather play Robbo in the firsts than Hurley.

[Trev from the Bush]

Ah, the bovine manure flows freely this time of the year.

Anyway, Herald Sun is reporting GWS has matched Geelong's offer to Jeremy Cameron. Cop that pussies! If they still want him somebody will have to go.

Yes unless he used to have a different profile is nota known ITK as not really posted more than several posts prior to tonight and they where no anything much.

So they have have good knowledge now, but there is no known history. So may just have been in the right place to now know, or could just be doing a Jonny Ray.

Well soon know as we will bid on Crouch and when we do that know how accurate they are.

Webster and Carlisle would leak out soon too.

[fugazi]

So have the Saints made the offer for Crouch yet?

Called Gubby Allan to Saints long before anyone else
Time will tell at least he doesn’t talk generalist dribble that belongs in a newspaper horoscope

Some of that makes sense. Essendon badly need a running half-back after they lost both of their main choices this year. Webster fits that position handily. Webster got a pay rise when he was travelling well so his money would probably match that of Higgins.

We have told Dunstan to look around. He is surplus to our needs. Port don't want him and looks like Adelaide might have passed as well. Any offer would be appreciated.

Saints won't pay enough (smart move - are you watching Carlton?) to get a Pick 2 for Adelaide so other methods are being employed. Looks like players are not involved at this point.

Carlisle to Hawthorn makes sense as they tried for him a couple of years ago. I am afraid we won't get his max value though.

Hurley? Too slow and to short for me. Maybe leadership is his strength.Looks like they need him to replace Carlisle.

Without Carlisle though, you hope that Dyl Roberton is ready to rock and roll.

Seems to me our backline went down a touch.

Makes no sense? Hurley is a two time all Australian.
I think that is what you call an upgrade.

Didn’t have a great year but the injectors are a basket case.

What you are saying now was said when we were after Paddy Ryder and that turned out pretty well.

Hurley is a Saints supporter. Of course that means nothing but it is nice to know.

He can play. St Kilda might be the very thing he needs. A fresh start at a new club. New coach.

We tried to get him a couple of years ago and failed. Hurley was loyal so things must be pretty bad at Bomberland.

Is this trade talk gatekeeper approved?

Great to see trade speculation and rumours getting discussed freely, even if it's just that. About time.

[johnearljames]

Dunstan's papers stamped I believe. He is not in our best midfield when everyone is fully fit.

[Devilhead]

Dunstans papers could be or might not be stamped I believe

[silverhalo]

Hurley looked cooked from what I saw of him this year, would much prefer Carlisle.

Don't want Hurley, his best is long gone

Anyone that sat out the 2016 year because of the Essendon drugs saga has baggage. We have Carlisle and Paddy at our club but at least they chose to move on before the brown stuff hit the fan and they made a conscious decision to leave that place after they were deceived by the people they trusted.

Hurley had admitted that he had difficulty coping mentally. I reckon if we are taking guys like Hurley we may as well put in a bid for Jesse Hogan

Notice how they actually gave information, and didn’t just write something akin to a daily horoscope?

[Scollop]

There’s a chance we might get a big fish. After we potentially land a big fish...get set for potential big fish #2

There’s clouds on the horizon. Could be some showers coming but could be mostly sunny too

[johnearljames]

On cue come the gatekeepers and CB's.

when does this initial trade period finish ?

... did his missus pop out a child yet ?

I am looking at how he can play next season, and not what he once was.

Also huge key forwards now abound. Back in Hurley's AA days (2015 and 2017) they were rare and one in his own team.

Plus it may be a new start for him, but he cannot grow, and I doubt he can add 10kg of muscle.

When we play the Lions they will now have the 204 cm Hipwood, 200cm Daniher and 205cm ruck pushing forward. Which one does Hurley try and take on?
