So they're average but you think a 30 year old Steven & Acres are a big loss? I'll accept Bruce is a loss but you're kidding yourself if you think our side hasn't improved after the trade period.
I didnt say they were big loses. Just loses.
Absolutely improved; pretty much every single player they traded in, slots right into the 22. Very successful trade period for the Saints
He is just talking about the jenkins trade. All that other stuff is irrelevant. The answer is that we got the same pick back for next years draft.
37 traded out
jenkins plus next years 37 roughly traded in.
Wont get close to top 4 with their list. Gave up a no. 6 draft pick.
And thats the problem. The whole point of giving up draft picks for ready made players is to have a crack at top 4 and a flag. If you arent remotely in that position nor will be in the next 3 years then giving up a gun draft pick is really dumb trading.
Saints are my losers of trade period. Along with the crows.
Saints definitely won the most active trade period title but I tend to agree with you, they lost Acres, Steven and Bruce who were all in their top echelon of players.
Geeze your really showing how much footy knowledge you actually have if you think we were the losers of the trade period. You draft players to improve your side, we used our draft picks on players who will improve our side.

I'd say AFL.com was pretty accurate

But to be honest I think that Sydney is better off without Daniher for now until they can confirm his injury stance. They're in rebuild anyway so their draft picks should be more important.

I'll say it again, getting rid of Bruce isn't that big of a deal if the club can use Carlile and Howard to move back and forth based on what the team needs in different matchups. They can go taller or shorter in the forward and defence which makes them so much more flexible.

I think the potential "upside" of Patton far outweighs what they paid for him. If Patton starts to fire it might pan out as the best trade this year.
Rich01 still waiting for a response.........
Yet he was still good for 2 goals and around 5 marks a game in the AFL.
Kicked 18 in his final 7 games last year too.

I'm happy for the focus to be on Cats, Hawks, Saints and Eagles with their trades and we just go about our business again during the year. Pretty happy at the moment.
Swans and daniher just makes no sense. They won by essendons denials.I'd say AFL.com was pretty accurate

IM only telling you why he was dropped soo many times this year, your problem now not mine
Every club needs a whipping boy, next year will be fun watching your new whipping boy get whipped on the geelong board
Saints gave away a gun forward, gun mid (albeit old and has mental health issues) and future top draft picks for ready made players. They have tried a formula that has been proven not to work, especially when you factor in they haven't made the 8 for years. I don't think they've won the trade period at all.
Hard to look past the Bulldogs, West Coast and Hawthorn as teams that have successfully addressed needs and not sold the farm in the process (West Coast HAD to pounce on Kelly - no question about that).

Carlisles next to useless up forward. By some accounts Howard isn't much better. Howard was drafted to replace Nathan Brown and will be a clear upgrade.
No one is replacing Guthrie as our whipping boy.
