3 veterans are done

[mad saint guy]

We don’t get any say in Battle

He’s out of contract and an unrestricted free agent

We do. Just need to pay him what he wants.

[B.M]

If he wants to walk - he will

If you were choosing between 2 clubs right now

Which would you go to

Has good relationships at St Kilda apparently, so it appears he will only leave if we screw up the negotiations and try to low-ball him.

Would just be another massive f-up in a long list of horrible list management decisions by the club if he goes.

[B.M]

He won’t be low balled

He will get an offer as to what we believe he is worth

Probably 700k would be my guess, definitely my ceiling

You don’t overpay

Unless it’s a proven match winner

Don't overpay, unless its for the likes of Weitering or Stengle who we are both apparently throwing the chequebook at...

[skeptic]

Interestingly enough… it’s reportedly suggested in the news (according to FB) that North are showing interest in Membrey and Ross to bolster their leadership/experience.

Very very happy to deal
Membrey would be good for them actually
Ross too - excellent leadership, durability, low kms …sign here Clarko…

However neither are exactly Luke Hodge

If they had any real leadership qualities they could do the same at StKilda. If they are, it isn't showing.

The Weitering offer would be in his mind
- size of the offer
- value they place on his position.
- fact that the saints tried to pay massive overs to cover a perceived shortfall. A position that he fills.

That saints could let him go with an offer of say $700k then turn around and offer someone similar $1m to get them in.

Everyone knows there is a war chest......

The Weitering story is surely fake news. His contract goes until the end of 2025. He plays for a glamour club that has strong prospects of winning a flag in the next year or three. I reckon it was never anything more than a bit of pot-stirring on the part of Weitering's manager.

[Teflon]

I agree with the OP
End this year I’d like to see: Out

BM
Mehebabblelots
Trollop
Stinger/Saynta/weird old guy

Seriously, how old are you? I mean your mental age.

[saynta]

Lyon out for mine.

That would be an excellent starting point.

[Scollop]

Which Brisbane Lions player was tagging Seb Ross tonight?

Don't answer...just being facetious

Really poor match committee selection for mine

They had Membrey out as managed. Sebby should have been as well

North only has to show some patience and they'll get both for free, as DFAs, or very cheaply as they are worth very little in terms of trade. You can throw Webster in to the package as well. Three list problems solved in one.

Would they take Jones as well? He showed on Saturday night that he is definitely a VFL player. Really disappointing at the senior level, once again. Hastie and Garcia are surely worthy replacements for him.

[D.B.Cooper]

3 of my favourite Saints

Great servants of the club over a long period

Webster
Ross
Membrey

Done

Good careers but are running on empty

In
Sharman, Schoenmaker, Garcia

Hard to argue!
All 3 look done, especially Membrey.

Saints turn over 7-9 players per season over the past 4-5 years.

While these guys look done, I guess it gets down to who they want to move on and who they can pick up in trading and drafting.

Certainties to go (IMO)
- Allison
- Jones
- Membrey

Maybe?
- Byrnes
- Paton
- Van Es
- Hotton

Veterans?
- Campbell
- Ross
- Webster

Crouch - injury?



Hard to tell with younger guys how the club views their development.

Lyon now needs to put a line under Jones and play Garcia or Hastie for remainder of year.

With 9 games left in the season pointless playing him any more.
