Rekon that are going all out to win a flag while NWM is there for the next 2 years.

I think they are sick of constantly rebuilding and have learnt

Got a feeling its all going to blow up in their faces.
And want him to stay more then 2 years so trying to Buy a Team to be Hopefully Competitive

Just saw the news about Silvagni to St Kilda.

Almost not surprised given his father is the list manager and they have deep links with Lyon.
Also we have learnt our lesson over paying for players and output. It’s a bad strategy to bring in injury prone players!
 
Looking forward to a Treloar/Grundy type firesale from the Saints in a couple of years. Max King for a second rounder plus Saints paying $350k p.a. of his salary
 
I don't think JSOS is a bad outcome really. Good on him for getting more. By all accounts there are injury clouds and I am glad we weren't pulled in to try and pay overs. Save our time and money for a bigger fish down the track, and put in the time and effort to further develop our young kids.
 
Problem is, they’re more than TDK, JSOS & Aleer away from competing.

They’ll still be a 9-14 ladder finish team.
I think they’re banking on King being healthy again. If he can return to 50+ goals a year then they should be a finals contender with some health in their new recruits

Fly had a missed call from Silvagni on the plane to Adelaide, likely to tell him of his decision. Tom Morris reported this as he was sitting a few rows back from him.

A sad end to a short relationship 😂

Seriously though, Jack seems like a great guy. Good luck to him.

We’ve seen it’s a struggle for one new recruit to settle into a new gameplan - 4 or 5 will be a nightmare for Lyon in 2026.
But all going well I see them definitely Top 6-8 in 2027
 
Battle, Barass, Silvagni...... there have been gettable guys in the past two seasons to replace Nathan Murphy but so far we can't land a fish. Are there any quality key defenders that are gettable this off-season?

I fear that if we lose any of Moore, Howe and Frampton (or worse, more than one of them) to a long-term injury next season then we're gonna be in licorice all sorts.

Can add keane and tom doedee to that list as well.

We were all foolish - blokes name is Jack he was always St Kilda bound!

Nonetheless I think the funds we would've needed to cough up to trump St Kilda's offer can be better utilized elsewhere - ideally towards a younger KPD with more upside, and a "ready to roll" midfielder in that 22-25ish year old bracket that can come in and impact alongside Nick for the next 8-10 years.
 
I know Carlton are shit but how much of a loser do you have to be to choose the least successful Victorian club of them all?

A very big one is my answer.

Enjoy retiring a non Premiership player.
I'll laugh if St Kilda wins a flag before Carlton.

Will you be complaining if King comes in next year and Rowell the year after? What a bunch of Veruca Salts we have in the board, 'I want a Oompa Loompa daddy now or I'll scream!' Why keep the cap under control when you can splurge the lot now on mediocrity, use the thing up top people!
