It is a little concerning.

But from the 40 players mentioned though, they said 8 would potentially be going to Brisbane and a sprinkling of St Kilda made up the majority of teams mentioned. Now being the half-glass type, I think it's just lazy journalism. St Kilda and Brisbane are the only two teams that have really confirmed FA going to them in TDK and Oscar. So, I think they've just gone "oohhh these guys look they're going to be aggressive during trade period" and off they go.

But yes, if our Trade period pulls only Starcevich. Would be starting to think the club exists for satire purposes only.
I’m kind of happy we are only going after Starcevich, if that’s the case. Unless it’s a quality free agent, I’d rather hit the draft.
 
Blight would be good depth. He always looked like he belonged at AFL level when he did play... but he does seem a low ceiling type with his lack of mobility. Old school gorilla defender, born in the wrong era.

If Scaife gets delisted by Hawthorn, I think he'd been an intriguing option to trial in defence. Has a booming kick, 197cm tall, good overhead, and pretty good straight-line speed (if not much of a turning circle). Maybe a change in role could unleash some untapped potential?

He was MSD KPD filler for Richmond as Gibcus was injured and Balta was has having some off field issues .. Presumably Gibcus is recovered and Baltas issues are good now ..
Add Trainor being developed and Miller sort of making the grade. Blight would be a great get. Worst business has been done in the corridors of Lathlain.
 
We know it's a pisstake right? Hawks have been violently chasing an elite mid to add to their workmanlike vanilla midfield all season. Be it Reid, Petracca, Walsh, Butters, etc. As soon as one says yes they'll spunk cash left right and centre

It's petracca.
 
Realistically not many A grade mids are going to want to come to an interstate club, who are still at their lowest ebb.

Harley signing is a step in the right direction, and maybe in 12 months time we may look more appealing.

Starcevich would be a great signing, he's a solid unit and would provide great presence in the back half.

It would also allow us to use Baker and Mccarthy in different roles, which helps cover areas of need.
 
Jack Silvagni to St Kilda

There will be a lot of players squeezed out there with their spending spree

I know we can't be choosy, but is there room in the current game for immobile defenders?

I wouldn't be able to pick him out in a line-up, but from my basic research and limited knowledge he at least is the right age and definitely addresses a glaring weakness (out of many) in the first 22.
 
List space at a premium etc etc

I’d rookie Blight for the WAFL support at the very least.

Also Silvagni to St Kilda presumably means no Aleer, freeing up their trade capital for Liam Ryan.

Having Caminiti, Silvagni, Wilkie, Tauru, Barrat and Howard as KPDs is already excessive, adding Aleer on a big contract would stupid

Cal said he doesn’t think Aleer will cost much in a trade, could even be a PSD watch.

Offering 4 x $750k you’d hope he’s worth something.

Yep, Blight should be signed day one of FA.

Now find a mid, Windhager would be great but doesn’t sound likely. Then a ruck. If we can get Starcevich for no draft asset id do it too.

Draft with 1,2 and trade up for the Suns pick.

Do we even have room on the rookie list? I know everyone has been saying we will get more list spots but its not guaranteed.
 
I assume Blight has already been told which number he’ll be wearing with us next year…

No brainer.

Better than Edwards and Brock.
He is in no way, shape or form better than Edwards.

Blight has the turning circle of a Mack Truck and the acceleration of one.
