Yeah we clearly see a whole on our list at that young tall inside mid role. Knevitt / Erasmus and now Robertson. Can't see an obvious spot for him in 2026 with everyone healthy, but this may be for the post Libba + Treloar years with Sanders long term future here a little questionable...
Can play forward/wing as well bye bye McNeil

Person who told me goes no where near bigfooty. I have read what Armooo has been saying too. Not connected imo

Huh, you just described Sanders???
Sanders isn't a big bulking inside mid
If she was serious she would have driven him to the club. Come on Ms Wilkie, take charge of this relationship of yours!!!At those dollars my wife would be doing the exact same thing
Neither is Libba. Richards, Bont, Kennedy and Sanders is more than enough inside mid for us. (Assuming Libba gets managed more next year).

The club clearly wants some younger inside midfielder depth given we chased Erasmus too.
It makes sense given it's really just Libba, Kennedy & Sanders that fit the mould. Possibly Garcia too. The might also be worried about Sanders longer term plans if he won't commit to a deal past Tassie's possibly inception date.

Huh? He’s one player. Dev is depth and the right kind of depth.

He lost 6 to 7kgs this year to improve his running capacity.
I think our mooted trade targets speak to Libba being rested a bit more next year. Dev Robertson was very highly rated as a junior and it was a real surprise he slipped outside of the first round.
I think there’s a question mark on whether the coaches rate Sanders as an inside mid option. His CBAs dropped from 8 to 3 a game this year, with Macrae gone and Treloar injured.

If Wilkie does want to come, how are we going to get the deal done? I doubt saints will want draft picks.
If draft picks alone won't suit them, recent trade history over the past decade or more says the most likely scenario would be a multi-club trade.
ie Wilkie to us, our pick/s to a 3rd club, a player from that 3rd club to the Saints (along with the movement of other picks to balance the trade).

Why request the trade to not Queensland two years earlier, if this is true?
What you're saying may not be untrue but Dunkley is a huge square. Go home, eat good, watching some TV, get enough sleep for your body for training the next day. Even if it wasn't an expectation that the others should be different (he understands people want to play up) the social environment, other than Bont/Croizer, his mates who have similar personalities, just didn't mesh with him. There was enough at Brisbane, Nashville stories aside.

Well contrary to the belief of Saints fans and some on here. You can't just trade away Freijah or Sanders. It's not America. If the Saints want players, then it is up to them to contact said player and make them an offer they cannot refuse, and put in a trade request. So unless one of our players WANT to go to the Saints. It will be picks of some sorts or as someone said above, a multi club trade involving a player from another team.

I think the "want" element of this is Saints giving those players 4-7 year contracts and setting them up for life, while we're still rolling over the shorter-term contracts.
I was just joking. Sounds very similar to Armoooo's story

Yay bringing in more midfielders. Glad we are addressing our biggest needs.
Treloar and Libba have 1 or 2 years left just lost Scott who was the only listed mid most weeks in the CBAs
bringing in midfielders is fine with me as long as they are defensively better than what we have
plus, we are getting old in there, Bont had his first real serious injury with his calf, he is getting close to 30, even though he keeps himself in peak condition the body does start to age (Lets hope not though!! .... treloar calf, last season, Libba slowed down to an extent late in season... need to replenish and have back ups.
