List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread - Part I

[PoppedCorn]

Lol tarrent
Hes leaving norf...not coming to us
Taranto apparently we sniffed extrememly hard,...mummy sniffing white line sausages hard....but we're getting caldwell instead but still maybe taranto as well...not ben brown he's going to the hawks not us,...because we cant fit him and heeney in the forward line




Sinclair stays ffs
U blokes are off ya heads
Kent goes first

 

[Max the great]

The talk about Caldwell in here is hilarious.

So is guessing every trade period and never getting anything right.

 

[snails13]

Is there a link to that mate?

I think it was Saints Twitter's,I will search for you

 

[BrutThough]

Watching players like Clark, coff, King, paton, Steele and to a lesser extent long and sincs have big leaps in their development under ratts I really wish we drafted billings now and not when we did.

Don't get me wrong he's a decent b grade player but I think if ratts had of got to him earlier he'd be the star midfielder we are crying out for.

I woudnt be surprised if he was trade bait, worthy of a first rounder that could go towards an actual A grader.

I'd hope not.

A very good player who Ratten today described as the player who pushed and drove the group together during the shut down period.

Cleary a very important and highly respected.

 

[BrutThough]

Yeah it’s not a bad shout. Sees the game very well in front of him and makes great decisions.

He's very calm under pressure as well which suits the backline.

 

[BrutThough]

Probably would have but I'm not sure Geary will be playing in the forward pocket every week next year.

He won't. There is spots in the side for developing players to fight for and make their own next year.

But thats different then saying he could walk into our starting midfield tomorrow which is what the first poster I replied to was saying.

 

[Saint Christopher]

Exactly. All the same old media lines trotted out each year.
Jye is smart, he’s a Saints supporter after all, no way in hell he goes to that dumpster fire.

From things I have heard he is a high quality kid too. dedicated to his boxing and footy. Davis from GWS is pre

Oh dear, I feel bad for giving the kid a bad name....

it was mentioned he is moving for more opportunity and I just mentioned that we couldn’t guarantee an immediate spot in the seniors because of others like Bytel and Byrnes who are also fighting for spots, and if he did want a guarantee it’s more likely to be from the Bombers due to everyone leaving.

There is no talk about him baulking at competing for a spot, it was just something I mentioned in my post, I didn’t mean to start a bushfire, so I hope I haven’t done him a disservice and made him out to be a demanding Prima Donna, which I’m sure he’s not.

Sorry Jye

You didn't as far as i read it. It was a query nothing more.
I watch GWS every week ( I taught Zac's mother one semester at ACU so have a vested interest) and he was underwhelming except for one game. But he just has some traits that make him appealing.
Good burst from the stoppage but yes looks a touch slower than he did in the underage comps.
He still has clean hands and good vision.
Potentially, he is a clean 20 possession .5 goal a game mid but we'd need to be patient as we are with Bytel. (Gun/Jet).
Still feel he needs a mentor so Lenny leaving might be a positive for us.

Jye has a boxing background so he is not at all afraid of hard work and he was really diligent in his rehab after inj so that's another tick.

I like what he may become but he is not a midfield saviour. He will go into the mix and do the hard work to find his place.

I think he is worth a shot with our first pick and GWS are reasonable to deal with so it will get done if he wants to leave and if he choses us.
Forget the drug cheats, every other club except maybe Melb will ask the question so he will have lots of options.

He might stay though if they trade Cogs to Freo...

[kernelT]

Savage for Long, Coops gunna' be fangin' beers tonight…

Just need Dmac in for Paton for the stars to align.

 

[Diehard Saint]

The talk about Caldwell in here is hilarious.

Because he’s signed with us already...right? So we’re wasting our time and words.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't go as far as saying he's a walk in start, but if I were a betting man I'd have my money on him being there week one.

Think you have him mixed up with someone else

 

[LeonardHayes87]

Essendon in front of the Caldwell race according to Tom Browne

That makes me breath easy that he's coming to us then

 

[LeonardHayes87]

Bizarre he’d choose Essendon unless their financial offer was far superior to ours

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

Well we don’t need any more proof that he’s coming to St Kilda then.

 

[bird_man]

That's the only reason he would IMO.

I'm happy for us not to get into a bidding war for him. I think we are finally past that phase where we have to pay ridiculous overs to bring a player in.

Happy to give up a late first for him, but not the huge contract on top.

Doubt it's true though

 

[12Chill]

They’ve probably offered him 700k a season tbh

 

[PoppedCorn]

Ghost how sure are we
80%?
Anymore goss?

 

[hayes]

Oooooo so it’s MG vs Tom Browne. I’m backing our man, surely by now with Essendon long out of the finals there’d be no reason not to announce that by now.

 

[Significant]

Discussion on Sinclair - has been playing off the back of the contest of late, regardless of where it is across the ground. Makes sense that his possessions were in the backline against Doggies as we had 30+ pts from D50 which was the most for the Saints this year

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Well we don’t need any more proof that he’s coming to St Kilda then.

Over to the Essendum board to watch them fap hard ........ only to have their hearts ripped out in a few weeks time

This is too good to be true

 

[austinnn]

If he leaves then North might as well close the doors. They look to have totally mismanaged their list.

The AFL must be really worried about them.

I suspect the news about Shaw will blow an even bigger hole in their sinking ship, and I'm wondering if Blakey will be able to fix those holes and keep the good ship Kangaroos a floatin' on to live another day.

 

[puppy_dog7]

Tom Browne with exclusive news “Essendon now front runners for Caldwell”
******* LOL. Absolutely no way they are unless they’re offering him an absolutely ridiculous offer he cannot refuse.
