Just listening to the w ankers on 5aa and they said they had it from a "reliable" source that the Crows are looking to offer a Saints player a 3 year contract. They never mentioned the players name but is that allowable that they can approach a player from another club if he is still contracted? I thought of S Fisher ...is he out of contract at the end of the season? He is from here so..........Scumbag moronic crows

My guess would be Kosi. Lack decent forwards.

I'm thinking that the Clubs approach the player's manager and do not speak directly to the player.

X Clarke, well after his performance on saturday night.....anyway

Agreed that S.F. loves the melbourne lifestyle. Also he couldn't handle being away from grammy. He would miss their regular punting sessions

I'd definitely trade Sam Fisher if the price was right.

However, the deal would have to be heavily skewed in our favour.

Something like Reilly + 1st round pick for S Fisher + 3rd round pick...

Never say never.

As much as I love him, structurally Chips is one player we could afford to lose.

Don't take this the wrong way, but with Gilbert, Goose, Allen, Gram and BJ all young and capable of providing run from the backline (as well as playing tall), we certainly have the depth in this area.

Knights + 2nd round pick and I'd jump.

saintgus · Post: # 434805Post **saintgus** » Wed 15 Aug 2007 9:50pm

no way, i think it would be terrible if we lose Fisher. He's about our best player every week

How do we know if Allan can provide run from the backline. He has played 6 games including practice matches and been forward in all of them. Sam Fisher is very very good player and we cannot afford to lose him.

Goose may never come back as good and the same with BJ. Gilbo as he gets noticed more will have more pressure on him and Grammy has been hot and cold this year.

Not one of your best OWTS.

Trading a young, etsbalished player who is only going to improve for unknowns?

Nup.

Teffer we agree. Wonders will never cease. Maybe the Saints will win a flag one day.

Snakeman66 · Wed 15 Aug 2007 10:14pm

On the Crowmo board on Bigfooty(2008 puzzle) the talk there is Kosi.

saintrod · Post: # 434833Post **saintrod** » Wed 15 Aug 2007 10:31pm

Adelaide desperately need a quality key position forward. They have been looking for years and even wasted a couple of high draft picks on Carey in search of such a player.

Kosi is the only saint player out of contract that fits that bill. Doubt very much if Kosi would be interested but looks like he is planning to do contract negotiation at the end of the season presumably on the basis that this might lead to a bigger contract than what we would have offerred at the start of the season.

Disgraceful about S Fisher.

Anyone else notice how safe you feel when the ball is in his hands or when he goes up for a contest????? Its called CLASS

100 1st round draft picks CANT BUY THAT.

LOL - Pretty sure they could?

100 1st draft picks..sure there would be 1 or even 2 with some class?

Believe or not, I agree with you too, Teffers. Except for describing Chips as "young". He isn't actually that young relative to most of the rest of our list (like Thommo, he came to the AFL relatively late in his football career).

Oh When the Saints · Wed 15 Aug 2007 10:57pm

On Kosi ... doubt he'd go. He's a Victorian, and Adelaide's premiership hopes are no better than ours (probably worse). So there would be no real reason (certainly not financial) why he would leave ...

On S. Fisher ...

I must have left my rose-coloured glasses to gather dust today!

I reckon Chips is a gun, and certainly in our top five players.

But no-one is irreplacable (and especially a running half-back), and you wouldn't knock back the right deal if it were put on the table.

He's no Riewoldt.

That's all I'm saying.

But I hope he wins a B&F, gets AA honours and finishes a 200-game player for us ...

Teflon · Post: # 434851Post **Teflon** » Wed 15 Aug 2007 11:02pm

It couldnt be Fergus Watts?...thats crazy but.....IMO hes tradeable.........I personally would like to see (post gehrig) a Riewoldt CHF, Kosi FF anyway......

In that case you half agree MB ..........and thats ok.....your getting there....
