It's 1 year and we have plenty of space

He's gone. We don't want the distraction.

 

[Foxman98]

He's gone. We don't want the distraction.

What distraction?

He gets paid to be told to **** off for another year just announce it and its done

 

[Golden_6]

I completely disagree. Getting Jamarra's salary off our books is what's valuable to us. If we can't find a club for him, he's getting delisted and we have to pay him out which isn't great at all rival or no rival.

Whilst freeing his salary up would be handy, I don't think it's all that valuable.

We aren't getting anything of value for him. Absolute zilch. It'll be a token late pick at best to get rid of Jamarra the person, not the one year of salary.

You don't think every single interview with any coach or player for the whole season starting off with "so where's Jamarra at?" is a distraction?

No,

like I said announce he has no involvement and won't all season and is just getting paid to stay away

Are you really saying there will be no media coverage of him? Really? What's the point anyway? He's just taking up another list spot that at the very least can go to someone that at least wants it

AFL will be fine putting him on the LTI list to get it out of the media so it won't pick up a SSP or Midseason draftee

Media coverage will die off very quickly when he has no chance of being at the club,

It's not like last offseason its well known why he isn't involved

 

[Claythesmiths]

I reckon the Wilkie situation is pretty simple. St Kilda amend his contract to a point where he’s comfortable and feels valued, or they don’t and he takes up our offer. So he’s still waiting to see if the former comes to fruition. It’s also important for St Kilda to keep in mind that if we trade him in, we’re not trading in a player we’ll get 10 years out of. Yes he’s a gun, but the decline can come quickly, so their trade ask should reflect that too.

If he’s contracted for two years on a salary below his worth then St. Kilda would be mad to let him go for low value draft capital. Unless the Saints are going to need picks for a trade target of their own, I just don’t see why they’d accept a deal that isn’t monumentally overs.

My issues with the dogs is that our 18/22 are locked in players
Targetting the correct role player looks like it's been a nightmare this off period

West is the only minor concern for us, which is a nice change.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Has a player ever knocked back an extra 500k a year to stay at a worse team?

 

[bobs head soup]

This seems the most likely way it would get done and best part for us is it is quite realistic given Flanders wanting to take the $$$ at the Saints and GC needing points.

Would our pick 10 work for GC? Or would it be too high and needing us to split it with a 4th club.

I've been thinking about this too as a 3way trade seems only likely way. Reckon Saints will want extras too.

We've currently only got 10+28 to play with.

I reckon we could co for something like:

Dogs in: Wilkie, Budarick
Out: 10, 28, JUH

Suns in: Pick 10, JUH
Out: Flanders, Budarick

Saints: Pick 28, Flanders
Out: Wilkie

In the real world, probably other parts to it, but reckon that could be a starting point.

Are you still confident that Wilkie requests a trade?

Westy is no concern at all

Plenty. Even the Dogs. Were shit in the early 2000s after the list was shot from those prelims and Dons tried to move West with a big pay.

Only ones i'd want are Butts/Bailey/Chandler/Butters/Vlastuin

It’s a problem. I’ve always been of the view that, if you can’t lure a clear best 22 player who fills a need, hunt in the lower leagues rather than take a fringe player/DFA who another club has already worked out isn’t up to it.

There’s another Dale Morris/Liam Picken/Tory Dickson running around somewhere.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Westy is no concern at all

Very likely not.

It’s a crazy time though and clubs are throwing ridiculous money at solid players. He’s been one of the better pressure forwards this year, so it’d be nice to lock him away a bit early.

 

[54Bulldog16]

GC give Flanders get 10

Dogs give 10, 28 and Buku get Wilkie

Carlton give 36 get Buku

Saints give Wilkie get Flanders, 28 and 36

Noah Answerth made some serious strides as a small defender before his achilles injury and was easily best 22. He would have to be a fair chance at being squeezed out of the Lions.

Achillies injuries are a killer

Gold Coast hold pick 6. St Kilda already own 7.

Don’t think there was half a million dollars a year being left on the table. Closest is probably Chris Grant.
