De Goey 5 year deal 800 a year.!!

[BadRossco]

Talk is Pies will move De Goey on for salary cap relief, he may be a dill but probably not silly enough to opt for the Saints as I guess the Bombers, Dogs, Hawks and the Blues will all have a crack all more attractive options than us. The Cats also appear to be able to attract anyone they desire so although he would be a risk probably not our risk

[bigred]

Look, it all depends.

Does he make his bed in the morning?
Do the dishes for his mum?

Hannas gets a bad wrap. He really does.
We are the mob that wanted to pay him. He would have been a fool to turn it down.
He even took a pretty big haircut apparently on his instigation.

I dont care anymore. You have to pay the cap to someone.
As long as we dont lose a player like Sinclair or Wilkie... Then so be it.

Chances are he wont even play a game for us. Get arrested in preseason and forever be known as "former St.Kilda player"...

[Teflon]

Just ask yourselves
Is he really what we need at 27 already?
Who thinks this list/coaching group will challenge for a flag in 12 mths to 2 years??
He’ll be 29 turning 30..,,,
I think we’d be better off targeting a genuine mid like Brayshaw at Dees who is a great mid and wants more game time there

[B.M]

Who cares if he gets arrested

Couldn’t give a fk about image

I care about winning games of footy

Steven May was punching on with that hopeless prick they traded from Essendon in a restaurant

Think anyone gives a s*** about that if they win the flag?!

Choirboys don’t make great footballers

[The Fireman]

there are rumblings

[older saint]

As much as the media spec is often wrong i am hearing Geelong or us.
Geelong hoping to move some money off the books with Smith retiring. A lot will depend if they choke again in the finals. Dangerfield keen to win it all so can take a haircut to get players in , Selwood the same and my guess is Rohan gone( makes no finals difference anyway).

Issue for me is 2 fold:
- De Goey never been properly fit - will he be Dusty when the penny dropped or Stringer?
- obviously the off field is a big ? . 2 times now has been involved in situations involving contact with females - consensual or otherwise, and actions which are not acceptable behavior in society.

to me sounds too much like buying crypto - sound great when everyone talks about the upside but little underlying value to provide something to fall back on when things go bad.

[Greg T]

Take him in a heartbeat
Better than most on our list when hes on
Work out better than Hanners has IMO

[The Fireman]

Would we be a better side with him in it ?


Get him

Story goes they went to the local park after the restaurant at May’s invitation where May threw about 5 punches without connecting then Jake threw one square on the jaw and knocked the loud mouth knobhead on his arse and it was all over

Melsham can box a little bit and doesn’t take crap, May is a known at GCS as a big mouth w@nker when he gets on the piss, and he got what he asked for

Well Firey as I said on another post I was against it at the start but WTF, if Hanna's was worth the risk then De Goey is as well & has way more up side IMO

Correct, I've credited him before so I'm feeling the vibe.

Or is it Mabo?

[Impatient Sainter]

Obviously we have been talking to De Goey's management for sometime. As much as I was against recruiting him earlier in the year, Ive come to the realisation that our list desparately needs a 'burst' player and if thats De Goey then we should chase him.

If we can get De Goey & Amon just for cash and maintain our draft picks, it will be a win. Hell we might even get a full season out of Hannebery before he is wheeled away?

For what its worth we will still need to find another ruckman from somewhere? As even if Ryder is given another year his body is letting him down regularly.

[Banger9798]

Not sure how Geelong fit him in their cap...must be bursting with Hawkins and Cameron

[CQ SAINT]

They all pool their money in this thing called winning.

I agree with your thoughts. Very reasonable....except for the bit about Hannas...that's just a pipe dream

[B.M]

If we don’t have a crack

We are a weak football club

Like we were in 2008

And how’d that decision go for us?!
And why the fk do the board have anything to do with recruiting?!

[Yorkeys]

- Price?
- Good to see Board not giving Footy Dept. free hand. Recent decisions highly questionable. E g Coach extensions, Hanners, assistants ;
- Jordans relationship with Pies and their playing group must be uncomfortably strained;
- Pies confident they don't need him;
- Could be a bargain but don't know if the guy wants to be a dedicated professional footballer;
- have the impression he would be more effective than Higgins; so
Price?
I would guess Board is mainly concerned with reputational damage issues and to let footy department know it doesn't have full confidence.
Interesting eh?

[Vortex]

Pies are playing finals. That could be a game changer if he has a blinder. I can't believe the Pies would let him go but we are not serious about a flag if we pass on him.

[freely]

Did we learn nothing from the lovett fiasco?

Not too bad a strategy? Results of an article like this is that the product is devalued.

The "problem child" concern of anonymous board member gives negotiators a good cop/bad cop reason for insisting on good behaviour clauses in the deal.

Also does the appearance of this article suggest that both the pies and cats have little interest in degoofy?
