hey dont rip on us about priority picks
I wasn't really.

You guys havnt bottomed out and it's left you in a position where you have an aging list with no trade bait.

If you spend a few years at the bottom (which I suspect you will), you could well be a candidate for a PP.

Do you not agree?

i agree in some aspect since this will be our first top 5 pick sine 2002, however having the top 5 pick means nothing to a rebuilding team if you cant strike gold in the later rounds.

Agreed (trust me, we know)!

I predict the Saints will have 3 or 4 tough years coming up. All your current value is in your veterans, which won't reap you trade value.

Might just be me but with retirements delistings and Sylvia leaving we must have a disgusting amount of cash on the cap. Just as an example we could offer sloane or rockliff or a beams 600k a year and say "hey fancy a trade". I know there is more to it than that but we have cash to make almost anyone ask for a trade.

Howdy, would someone like to give me a bit of info about Blease's current situation? Contract status, what you guys would roughly want for him and why he only played 10 games this year (injury/form/whatever).

I've liked the look of him for a few years now.

1 year left on his contract i think, possible trade bait this off season. Hasn't really had a full preseason in his career so he lacks AFL fitness. was pretty underwhelming in 2013 after a solid 2012. I'd probably like to see what he does under roos, but if traded id prefer a player swap over draft picks as he's not worth a whole lot at the moment

Davey and Sylvia gone gives us a fair bit of cap space, throw a shitload at Rockliff, Selwood, or Sloane. Turn this slight speedbump into a success.

Neeld liked picking Blease every 2nd week because he's an idiot.

Mostly his fitness and defensive game kept him out of the team. You have nothing we want so Blease won't be going anywhere, Roos will love Sammy Blease.

Why would he want to say .. he has had more coaches and uncertainty than any other footballer. Least he will get a chance to play a final or two over the next few years.

So has Jones, so has Frawley. Both these guys love the club. **** Sylvia. never lived up to his potential.

Viney, your dads number is up for grabs if you want it.

When two opposition supporters come on to tell you it's a bad trade ... It's a bad trade

I don't know how many times we can say this but 2 is only on the table for a player between the age of 20-24 who is a very good midfielder

NOTHING else , I would consider giving pick 19 for priddis maybe if we got your 3rd rounder back which won't happen ..

Not that these guys are necessarily available but these are the people who fit our needs

Scott selwood
Rory sloane
Taylor Adams
Steele sidebottom
Tom rockliff

Etc , basically one of the next gen a graders

So either we end up with one of them or we keep it

A 28 year old for pick 2 ... **** me dead
priddis is shit
