I think the club made a mistake by saying he doesn't fit in the new direction we are taking.
Clubs see this as we can get him for a bag off peanuts

You couldn't play Gus in our current side though, would need to let go of Dumont or similar.My sentiments exactly. Fritsch is a bloody good half forward who actually kicks goals and Gus Brayshaw a hard running accumulator. Two ready made senior players with a good 8 years to offer.

You want a second rounder for Brown as well, pick 14 alone is not enough compo IMO.Higgins + 25 for 16 (Geelong)

The best we can hope for is Brions pick 64 and Basti for BBB...The club never actually said that. It's the Bigfooty Snowball effect - people keep repeating it here until it becomes accepted fact.
I would agree if this was any other year.. seems as though everything outside the top 2 is speculative, if those dog afl owned crows end up with pick 2.. it ****ed us HARD! But anyway.. we soldier onGod we'd be set if we had 6 picks inside the first 2 rounds. We wouldnt even have to use our later picks for playes and we're going to smash the delisted free agent list.
Mislead?Pick 14 is worth 1160 points.
To break this up it is basically equal to pick 25 (750 points) and pick 40 (430 points).
At face value it looks like we are getting bent over for both players.
However remember if Higgo was an FA then we would get zero given his age (like Carlton got zero when W80 came to us.)
If we are truly saying to Higgo we are happy for him to go as we misled him last year is signing with us (re our push to play finals) then in reality we are making him a FA after the fact.
Of course he is signed for another year but how hard ball can we be with a guy we mislead?
As others have said the Saints probably need to sweeten this it a little - a swap of picks this year or next year will do it.
Pick 14 gives us 4 picks inside 25 so we are getting well on our way here even this was to be the final agreed position.
Trade for future picks then?Theres a lot of close your eyes and swing at the ball in this years draft.. worst fu**in year to trade for picks IMO.. Take the year as it is, keep higgins, he walks next year, so be it.. And he’ll be offered another contract if he sticks around too.. so will goldy. You dont toss out your leadership and feel pity them. Grow a pair of fu**in kahunas
You would absolutely play GusYou couldn't play Gus in our current side though, would need to let go of Dumont or similar.
Fritsch i wouldn't mind, we don't really have anyone playing the role he does, Maybe Scott, but still rather different.
The kids havent played footy all year.. they’ll be on the park next year.. so maybe.. doesnt sit right with me getting rid of higgins for a second round pick.. seems worthlessTrade for future picks then?
There will be quality throughout this draft just like any other.

Yeah that's why I've been pushing hard for Heath Shaw. Reckon he'd be able to do it for us for a year then maybe move into coaching. Obvious family connection but has come from successful teams.What we need at our club is a leader who has won flags ala Hodge at Brisbane.. thats exactly what this club needs
Yeah that's the current story from what I've heardMy understanding, purely based on what i've heard, is that teh club has told Higgo that he is unlikely to be part of their plans beyond this contract. That is a big part of the reason they are open to him finding a new home if he can get a two year deal.
Im sorry, that makes no *in sense whatsoeverMy understanding, purely based on what i've heard, is that teh club has told Higgo that he is unlikely to be part of their plans beyond this contract. That is a big part of the reason they are open to him finding a new home if he can get a two year deal.
I thought you were joking? Heater isnt a leader.. he’s a larrikin. Clowns arent leadersYeah that's why I've been pushing hard for Heath Shaw. Reckon he'd be able to do it for us for a year then maybe move into coaching. Obvious family connection but has come from successful teams.

I know that, but there will be a roughly equal distribution of talent as every draft has but probably more scattered over the first 4 rounds. Good draft to have plenty of speculative picks between 30-50 imoThe kids havent played footy all year.. they’ll be on the park next year.. so maybe.. doesnt sit right with me getting rid of higgins for a second round pick.. seems worthless
