You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
After the events of yesterday, I hope all our players have been communicated to and given the riot act and ASADA's policy once again.
We don't have room for stupid decisions, or players taking risks, in the offseason when we are on the rise for an exciting 2020.

Oh I can definitely see why Essendon would entertain it. On 650-700k a year. Barely played for 2 years. Just had another round of surgery so his 2020 preseason is stuffed already. They'd get him fit again by the end of next year for him to leave as a RFA.
May as well cash in now and let the next club deal with his rehab, his 2020 wage, and possibly get more in return than the free agency compo they'd receive.
If he gets his head right, he will win it next year

Will sit here and nod wisely when it happens
The only knock I have on SPS is that quite a few of his short passes are touched or marked by the opposition.
Gets his head right?
Ummmm... you do realise SPS is one of the only guys who can confidently make that 45 degree kick into the middle of the ground. These are the most dangerous / high risk, high reward kicks in footy and the good teams have multiple players who do this well - see West Coast Eagles.
Ill-informed comment.

Brad Hill has nominated St Kilda.
Don't think we were ever in the race but would have been a fantastic pick up.

Even at the rumoured $900k per year?

Wanted him, but 0% interested at 900k. That's way overs. No chance. They can have him and overpay him.

My absolute worst fear is Martin hasn't nominated yet as he is still keen to get to Essendon. They were keen on him all last year until GC said no.
They offload Daniher, dangle a first rounder at Gold Coast, dangle a bigger contract at him now that Daniher's contract is offloaded.....
....please hurry up and nominate Jack.
Pretty much the only way clubs like the Dogs (though do have a bit going for them now), Saints and North can get players - see Hannebery, Carlisle. Not unhappy to miss on Hill. Much rather we chase a B Crouch or Viney or Laird even.

I hope Jack Matin nominates soon. Crippa and Samo and Liam tell him to nominate
Don't think you have to worry about bombers. Sam p/pepper is their target.
Have I missed something, didn't Martin nominate Carlton earlier this week?
I just did a little vom in my mouth.
Pete Ryan from the age came out on Tuesday saying Martin would nominate us but I don't believe there is anything official yet
Jack Martin set to nominate Carlton
Former Gold Coast forward Jack Martin is set to nominate Carlton as his preferred destination after meeting with the Blues last week.
Exactly for a team that's never played finals he's averaged 16 games a season (and he had some shocking injuries early on as well - missed half a season after his first game doing an AC).
He can play, and as long as he's in the right headspace and is a good cultural fit within the team ethos than we should start taking some calculated risks again.

That being said, despite it'd mean we missed out on some of them, it'd be pretty funny if Dodoro neglected their critical inside mids deficiency again and went after a bunch of flankers and outside players like Martin, Gray, Cutler, Ellis, etc...
Yeah read the riot act to our group because of Willies mistake that will be great for our culture.
I would assume the connection Hill had with Ratts is a good reason (beside the money) he's going to the Saints! Also will be a great fit for the type of game style I'm predicting Ratts will attempt to deliver.
Wish that Bolts would've had some pull on players from his former club... at least Mick managed to get Daisy... Pagan got Mick Martin... and Teague by all reports is a big reason McLovin came across and why Eddie and Jacobs are considering returning.

You kidding?
They are read the riot act each preseason. A little refresher possibly ensures we don't enter 2020 with an * next to a players availability.

Just hope Preston/Northen Bullants can survive on their own in the VFL if we decided to split up with them, given their history in the old VFA.
