Traded Liam Ryan [Traded with 2027 R3 to St Kilda for 2026 R2 (Stk)]

[GoldenEagle]

I reckon he's out the door. If hawks finish 8th (expected) then we'll get pick 11 in the draft.

Ryan + pick 11 (prob end up pick 15)
For Saints pick 8 (prob end up pick 12)

Not sure its worth it but its a very West Coast thing to do

Updated news on this is Ryan has a 3 year, 650k per year deal with a trigger for a 4th year based on games played thats fairly light on (guessing 50 games) . Offers from Essendon and Gold Coast too but wants St Kilda. Eagles not really offering him anything from what I can see

 

[Cam Payne]

He hung around for years and got away with being a slacker because he was one of Ross's boys. Obviously.

...and then when Ross's grip started to loosen and blokes like Neale left the club, Bennell got the arse and Ross was not far behind him.

What was your point?

played 2 games and got delisted is all you have. Your boy has bludged for the last three years and is pissing off.

What?

Ryan's played in a flag and been an AA. Much like Bennell, he has struggled to stay fit in his mid 20s.

Neither would be training standards poster boys.

The Nas effect in full swing.

It's going to be a wild trade period for the Saints.

But obviously you'll not be giving up anything of quality

Mate after reading hundreds of posts from Adelaide and Port fans gleefully telling us they're going to be stripping our list for parts and seeing it backfire so spectacularly, I am quite happy to see WC fairly compensated in the event Ryan does want a trade.

Was genuinely excruciating trying to explain that NAS is a good kid and will probably either re-sign or demand a fair value trade. He clearly loves the club and the people there. People saying Whitlock, a first and a second and it’s like dude? You’re just trying to be a tool at this point

Yeah for sure, it's been a feeding frenzy lately.

I will admit, it's nice to now be on the other side of the trade fence at the moment, but of course I can understand what it's like for oppo fans - especially fans of a fellow struggler.

 

[VDS66]

Can't really think of on field reasons why we'd go for him, he's a good player but doesn't really fit st kilda's timeline. My only guess is it's to fill a gap the club has within its leadership group?

How about an extra 25 to 30 goals?

[Vindicater]

What else is he going to say?

 

[Obeanie1]

Don't see why the Saints would be offering 4 years when they are years away from contending.

They are loading up.

The draft is compromised.

 

[Obeanie1]

What else is he going to say?

Eagles have said some dumb things over the years.

This statement is basically saying "we value him, we want him and he's contracted."

If any other club wants to try and poach him under contract Eagles require decent compensation.

As in what every other club say re contracted players.

Do they?

 

[Farang83150]

Do they?

Yeah, have heard the same statement rolled out loads of times re contracted players and clubs wanting to get on the front foot.

[Snuffaluphagus]

Good for WC. Should have bitten the bullet two years ago but this is a good result for them still

 

[Hamingja]

Seems like a strange player to target for mine. Not easy playing as a forward for the Eagles but on face value appears to be a couple of years past his best and would he settle in Melbourne?

 

[stallon]

He still has value, played reasonably well considering he plays forward of centre in a team with a dysfunctional midfield.

Like Barrass it makes sense to let him go, we have depth in his position, and he should get us something decent whether its a player, a pick in the 15-30 areas(after accounting for academy+compo, so a mid-late first rounder essentially) or a pick upgrade

Saints seems to have decided;
A) **** this draft
B) We literally have more money than we know what to do with, give it to anyone that will move

 

[Scotland]

So what's it gonna be?

Player, pick 7 or future pick? Those are the pieces the Saints have to work with. We have a bunch of picks to accommodate swapsies.

Pick 25 would be OK but (a) the Saints don't have it and (b) it will end up 125 the way this draft is shaping.

Lol no we don't have depth in his position.

Owies?
