Battle

[Yorkeys]

Ladhams can play and is not getting a game currently

But he's an undisciplined fool isn't he?

Ladhams is a donkey.

Replacing him will be a battle

SHe’s got a brother?

We don’t get on with one another,
But I quite fancy her mother,
And I think that she likes me…

Watch this place go off when our draft compensation is confirmed later this year.

[tony74]

I can 100% assure you we will not pay overs. Josh will do what’s best for his family-as he should

[MC Gusto]

Thanks tony
Sad to see him go but if it’s pick 5 you can’t say no. AFL is a business and you don’t walk away from a deal like that

[meher baba]

I’d rather keep Josh and miss out on pick 5. He’s an integral part of a very effective backline. We don’t want to mess with these things.

[Scollop]

I'd rather he stays too.

I don't like the implication that he wants to leave for a few extra bucks.

I think it's more to do with list build and where St Kilda think they are in terms of bottoming out. Maybe the club believes we need another couple of years down the bottom of the ladder.

Hope Ross Lyon and his team mates convince him we are just as capable of achieving some success in the next few years.

[lewdogs]

Over on big footy the word is he's going to re-sign.

The issue I take is that we are expected to accept that players must do what's best for them and their families; yet the St Kilda footy club decade after decade cut loose great players often for little return and then hold on to players with what ends up being no value years later. We need to be as ruthless as a team as the players are "now expected" to be for themselves.

We do get it right at times no doubt. For instance,Coffield, he IS a great lad but couldn't and can't get his body right with an endless string of injury.

This is exactly where we are with King. I absolutely love this guy, I was frothing for us to draft him and I have been excited every season with hope. But, as we persist and keep thinking he's coming good and hope for something...it turns out he just isn't it ( lack of skill, or attitude or footy brains or injury or being sad or the midfield are all asleep or no one is kicking the ball into hands or the coach is rubbish, etc etc).

He has missed 28% of the games in his career through injury at the Saints. He will persist in falling short in his 6th, 7th and all seasons to come and instead of trading him ruthlessly for what's best for the club, we will be shamed for suggesting it and told we aren't loyal.

When does the knife cut both ways in OUR favour? Where we trade a "high value" player for a big return?

Judging by his last after-game interview, I got the feeling he's gonna re-sign. He seemed pretty damn invested. Just a feeling I got.

Also, Hawthorn has upped its chase for Tom Barrass, which tells me they have the same feeling as well.

If I am right and he does re-sign, I hope everyone here makes another mental note of the absolute dribble that idiot Tom Morris reports. He's been acting like Battle is pretty much a Hawk already. He's the biggest hack in the business, which is really saying something for an industry littered with monumental hacks.

I'm not in the industry but I am a genunine hack. I'm forming a coaltion of hacks and bastards with no clue to bring awareness of our condition. Tom Morris will be our patron of shame.

Morris claims that Hawforn can fit both in their salary caps. He is a dickwad though and not a credible source of information.

Dress Morris in a dressing gown, blue rinse, curlers and have him peering through curtains. Just a gobby trouble maker. Industry standard of course.

I agree with the clubs position, however we wont pay overs to retain a player like Josh but we will (yes I know its media reports) potentially throw money at a player like Stengle to join the club?

Then why are the Saints paying overs for a big sook to stand in the goal square while his opponent makes it easy for oppositions to exit 50.
Winx more like Wimp.

No. Instead, you’ll let him walk out for the sake of your own pinheadedness and overpay less performing players who were selected earlier in the draft.

Like who? only ones I can think of the last 30 years is Hall and maybe acres. and Considering Hall wanted out and was not staying no matter what that leaves just one player Acres.....

King is not worth the big $ being bandied about.
He's selfish, a big sook, a prima donna, and a waste of a list spot.
Pay Pou what they're paying the big sook.
Pou was happy to drop to the Zebs for a few games.
Listened to Lenny, paid attention, absorbed it all.
He's a future captain

Goddard, Dal Santo. Hell, even Stanley

[B.M]

Battle is not worth what Hawthorn are willing to pay, and the compensation is overs

King would get 2 First Rounders - you keep 202cm key forwards that kicked 50 as a 21yo

BTW
How do we know what King is currently on?!

[tony74]

If and I stress if we make a Grand Final Max will be the reason we win. A big statement I know but he just needs a run at it without being injured. Have you ever thought that some of his behaviour is based solely on his frustration not to perform at the level he knows he has. Have a look at Curnow performances whilst struggling through injuries at the start of his career- rant over

Well said. The constant bashing of Max King is ridiculous. You all need to calm down and get a check up from the neck up. Max King will be a Coleman medalist. Mark my words.
