The 2018 Trade and Draft Thread will not be as long as 2017’s.
And definitely much shorter than 2019’s.

Bit mean to already single out the whippin boys. Could we possibly wait to the start of the season to see where certain players are at ?
I´d love to see one of those gone after 2018 boys have a breakout year. Just because every play, contest, disposal, effort is scrutinized x 10 once the mob signals them out. I back every Saints player, I don´t care who steps up. If the club steps up we win a flag.
