Max heath from Saints to Melbourne for a 2027 4th rounder. Literally the definition of a junk pick.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

If SDK does indeed end up moving to St Kilda it would be, IMO, an unforgiveable miss by the Dogs recruitment team.

Purple has said that the saints don’t have the assets to get Aleer done.

No chance they get SDK.

KPDs with better 1v1 loss % (contesting at least 1.5 defensive 1v1s per game) than any of our KPDs that were out of contract at some stage this season:

• Zaine Cordy
• Oscar McDonald
• Zach Reid
• Jack Silvagni
• Darcy Gardiner
• Sam De Koning
• Joel Hamling
• Oscar Adams
• Tom McDonald
• Sam Collins
• Tylar Young
• Toby Pink

The list gets way larger if you include players that re-signed last year.

If we truly didn't have confidence that JOD/Buss were the future, we needed to go harder earlier. There were options, whether they be short-term fill-ins or set and forget guys for the longer term.

There is zero point now scrambling for scraps. We just have to hope the club actually does have faith in what we do have.

I understand the point you're making but at the same time from a player recruitment POV I don't think this is entirely right - if anything there might be trees shaken up, allowing us to get players at a discount, much like how Treloar fell on our laps at a massive discount at the time.

Aleer's out of contract, and requested a trade away from GWS, and who knows if his position is tenable. We may be able to get him at a discount, contract wise. Nobody's saying he's a star, but it's also not unrealistic to suggest we may be able to get him on money not much more than a minimum amount, which I think people would be happy with.

It's only if they trade Marshall to Geelong

 

[MaxiBont]

There’s no way SDK would be involved in a deal for Marshall

 

[Munnez]

Just heard that Saints have pulled the plug on Aleer. I wonder how fast Sammy got on the phone when he found out ??
Think the Saints backed out as the well has run dry.

And most likely because we bled them with the adjusted Wilkie Contract if i had to hazard a guess. We should be offering Aleer a contract at least he is a genuine KPD in the right age bracket with a few years in the system

 

[Dogsfan1]

What is wrong with us we wont go after him tom morris says

 

[Foxman98]

What is wrong with us we wont go after him tom morris says

He is a shit version of what we have

 

[MaxiBont]

What is wrong with us we wont go after him tom morris says

Aleer would make our defence worse.

Definitely not what we need

 

[Dogsfan1]

There is no one to go and get

 

[Foxman98]

Yes which is why JOD and Buss developing is the way forward

 

[Doggies7]

Tom Morris have said we are unlikely for Aleer.

Just a thought but he mentioned Leek is in Europe with GWS teammates. Imagine it would be tough for the Dogs to make a big $ call on him out of the blue now without having done a full medical and all of the research into him, thinking he was Saints bound...

He is the opposite of what we need and not better then what we have,

Poor mans Buku

 

[JohnnySteel]

Everyone, it’s time to jump on the buss. If you haven’t already, it’s the only way forward.

Either he stays at GWS or Saints backflip again. I can see anyone taking him without doing a medical.

Could see North/West Coast having a look via the PSD

But don't see anyone else offering him anything now before the trade period ends

 

[Dogman 1]

SDK to the Saints is looking likely.

After they said they had nothing to trade re Aleer. What a shit club.

That would cap off their offseason pretty nicely to be fair. Fair play to them if they can pull it off.

2026: Buss or bust.

 

[El Rancho]

The trading of Jamarra is a big step in the right direction of improving our club culture. We are a much better place without the likes of Smith, JUH, Hunter and Stringer. Sure, on the surface, we are worst off for on field talent but having a much better culture is worth more for the club and overall performance.

Couldn't agree more with this. Having worked in elite environments, the squad unity and harmony can't be undersold.
Yes everyone won't be best mates, but if everyone is pulling in the same direction, then it makes a huge difference (f*ck I'm starting to sound like Bevo)

 

[Doggy]

2026: Buss or bust.

Bust, as soon as we get one injury

 

[Pencil case]

He is a shit version of what we have

If we trade Buss and JOD to GWS for the day, and then trade them back in, our supporters will be stoked with the new defensive recruits.

He wouldn't risk this happening again. He has 3 years on the table from GWS according to Morris so assume he signs that Thursday if nothing gets done.
