Seb's manager apparently testing the market
Tom Morris says Saints have offer on the table to Ross.
2 yrs with a trigger for 3rd yr, but his manager is trawling to see whether any other clubs are interested.
Tom Morris. Is he a bit out there? What's he like with this stuff?

As for Tom Morris, he churns a lot of stuff, i'm still not sure how accurate he is, if he gets it wrong he doesn't dwell he just keeps churning.
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Let’s just say I don’t think his phone will be ringing off the hook!

No doubt, like Caro and Sam McLure, he has sources at a lot of clubs who feed him tidbits (some of which may be the particular Club trying to get a story out)

Re: Seb shopping himself
Tom Morris on Fox didn't mention any prospective suitors, but for me, I think most clubs would be swiping left

Re: Seb shopping himself
Don’t be silly, you’ll offend the we love Seb brigade. He has been great but time to try and see if we can cash in at this stage. Won’t miss those kicks that don’t hit targets lol

Re: Seb shopping himself
I wonder if they’ll be labelling him a disloyal mercenary for trying to leave for more money?

'Left' = leave...think of 'left without taking something'

In relation to Seb, who would blame him if he saw any of the s*** printed about him on this site and others.

Re: Seb's manager apparently testing the market
If Seb let something he read here influence his decision making, then he’d be an utter fool
The implication is that he’s unhappy with his offer and he’s fishing around for better ones. True to all things in life, the market will determine his worth. Will be very interesting to see how it all plays out

Re: Seb's manager apparently testing the market
Most clubs have tight salary caps and most clubs don't need a midfielder like Seb Ross. That's not a criticism of him. I actually think he's been good for us. It's just that he's not the type of player other clubs are looking for. Only The Suns need someone like him, and they're already interested in Dunstan. Take the deal, Seb

Re: Seb's manager apparently testing the market
The only other one I can think of is Carlton, but with the money they've spent in the past couple of years, and a big cheque coming Adam Cerra's way, it's unlikely

Re: Seb's manager apparently testing the market
Think the injectors may be interested in him and Ben Long. Family ties and all that.

Seb out Parker in. That’s a big upgrade. Would probably cost us an extra $200,000

Re: Seb's manager apparently testing the market
The way the article reads is like Billings is more likely to stay than Ross. Ross does scon some kicks, but I would still have him in the side before Billings! I guess it comes down to what they want $$$ wise? Ross winning 2 x past BNF's (poor years) he may think he is worth more than he is?

Re: Seb's manager apparently testing the market
I have said this before I don't think any one will be throwing the cheque book at Seb & he will probably get a better offer from us than anyone else

If he leaves
It’ll be as a dual club champion
1 time runner up
Played 160 odd games
Made an AA Squad
Acting Captain, leadership group for 4 seasons
Played as an inside mid, as a run with, as a wing
Good player, Good team player, quality individual
Show some fkn respect!!!!

I now picture Seb, Josh & Lonie standing ankle deep in water, their agents with for sale best offer sandwich boards strolling waters edge calling "what am I bid".

Re: Seb's manager apparently testing the market
Would there be any residual fallout hanging around between Seb and the club from the blow-up regarding his choice to not play the Adelaide game?

Re: Seb's manager apparently testing the market
I don't know, however, I don't think there's any fallout at all.
I reckon the club was more unhappy with Skunk than Ross. At the time.
And Jake missing a game for his partner's birth?
I think the club moved on quickly right after it
