Just to be clear about the rules, if we were to get in Longs ear and commit to take him as a DFA at the end of the year should his form continue, he can eschew the MSD and ND and sign up with us for free? (Ie no picks required) - if his form holds I’d be laying the groundwork. Looks a likely...

Hats off to Big Bad Billy Frampton - Triple B - He’s starting to look like an above average KPD, and will only get better with continuity.

Yeah at first I was wondering who Blanck was, then wondering why people were suggesting karma… If he’s the spud that injured Daics he’s only guilty of having poor timing and being uncoordinated. No intent there.

Yep top-tier running power is a non-negotiable for a would be best 22 mid in a top 4 team. I was curious but couldn’t tell from the vision whether Finn faded in the 2nd and 3rd stanzas due to bench time or hitting the wall…. He needs to be able to do it for 4 quarters. Promising glimpses...

I honestly doubt whether Trump or Biden are elected US president, that either's foreign policy I.e. Things that affect / kill people in other parts of the world, will vary substantially.

Yes but the conversation has moved beyond that, and is now working out who’s best placed stylistically to play that role.

Whilst I agree Johnson has potential, I don’t really see them as like for like in playing style. McStay big body, hit packs, brings the ball to ground etc. Johnson more the traditional 3rd tall with a leap who takes floating grabs across pack rather than splitting them. I think Krueger is the...

Asked the question on the Saints board, and they’ve apparently never tried it.

Yeah most young kids still in the fandom stage before going pro would say the team they barrack for as number 1 option - but Pies are just too big, too strong, too exciting…. irresistible.

Teams should probably just all pass on him prior to our pick, obviously has plans to come to the Pies :)

Okay well 400K per year then. Bowes did exactly what you’re saying no one would do when arriving at Geelong though I believe.

Yep id be trying to re-tool him in a HB distributor role ala early 2023 Daics. Daics to full time mid rotating through HF. Flexible in that can play wing and HF too should an injury crisis hit a particular part of the ground. Don’t mind it on the cheap. Pick 80, take full 500K salary and...

Yeah I dunno, It works when both Tiges and Blues are both up and and about, otherwise it’s pretty lacklustre.

Season opener to be GF rematch, whoever the teams.

Btw annoyed the piss out of me they kept playing it at quarter time at the granny. Knew it would have psychological impact on Cameron, nek minnit, he comes out and kicks a goal in first 30 seconds of Q2.

Thus now also being partially responsible.

No but alas he will suffer the consequences. Life’s sometimes not fair like that.

Yeah I’d offer him two years, if nothing more than to force the Cats to up their rate. He’s still playing excellent footy and may get us that elusive 3-peat we’ve been craving all these years. Doubt he leaves Geelong, but worth a try. Tom lynch on the other hand can EAD

‘Denver’ just can’t have that on the list unfortunately.

Anyway, appreciate the insight! You have been most pleasant hosts. all the best with the trade period and beyond.

Sounds like his best chance right now is possibly a change in environment, some better luck with his body, and an on field re-invention of sorts.

Cheers I appreciate the feedback! Sounds like hed be worth picking up just for the amusing off-chance he does KO himself taking a set shot via this knee-to-face kicking action you describe. that alone would be worth at least a 3rd rounder. Suppose we’re also possibly thinking wing-depth for...

Wonder if he could be re-tooled in that backline distributor role with Daics moving full time into middle? Haven’t seen a huge amount of Billings, but I do know his footskills are pretty revered.

Ah the old Travis Cloke syndrome - I empathise with your pain.

Ooof yeah that goals to points ratio is troubling. Must be a mental thing right given his otherwise top notch foot-skills?

Hahahah very good. Got a decent chuckle out of me :)

The ‘mild interest in Billings’ line actually came from Graeme Wright though. So not just managers fun and games.

Yeah I reckon it should go through pretty quick. We need to save the majority of trade period for our rolled gold target - a certain ‘Jack Billings’

I’m fairly sure there is more being offered already, given the reporting on it thus far. There was a mysterious player involved til that fell over, reports like these “Saints are understood to be satisfied with Pies 1st being the centrepiece of the deal, with ancillary elements TBC” etc etc

Yeah I’ve been looking for reasons to get Lippa out of the team for a while now, perhaps Billings is my knight in shining armour.
