Media:

Jack Steven - contracted St Kilda star with 4 x B&F - “probably swap for a late 3rd or early 4th”

Josh Bruce - contracted St Kilda tall, athletic goal kicking forward with 99 games to his credit - “probably swap for a late 3rd or early 4th”

Billy Frampton - uncontracted Port Adelaide depth ruck whose played a total of 3 games - “probably swap for a late 3rd or early 4th”

🙄
Joe Daniher 11 games in two years - chronic groin problems - Pick 4

I actually have no problem with both Bruce and Steven leaving, but to say we may get nothing but a third round pick does not sit well with me at all. Do we over rate our players or we are missing something?

Pick in the 20's for both would suffice, especially with Geelong about to receive a gold mine for Kelly and Dogs should have more than enough, I would even take a second rounder next year.

If that's what they are worth fine, but then Sydney can take 57 for Zak Jones and Ryder can come in for pick 120.
Not overrating your players, just underrating how full of shit the average media personality is. There is close to 0 chance Bruce goes for anything less than a 2nd rounder, and even that is really ripping the Saints off. No idea how Barrett could have thought a 3rd rounder would be enough. Only explanation is he's a ****ing moron
 
Jack Steven for pick 54 and maybe paying part of his salary too!
It’s great to see the saints getting bent over again! This time without lube! When will this bulls**t end? This genuinely makes me angry!
The same media reported Papley was offered a deal for 800/900k and then the truth came out a week later.

Anyway, if you want some news. Ask yourself whether or Smith from the Hawks would be worthwhile on a 3 year deal.
 
Just for context, Adelaide are apparently letting Eddie go for nothing and paying half his salary. Not entirely analogous with Stuv I know but it's what happens when you get an uncertain / restricted future form line mixed with 'push' factors.

As an aside, if Suns are looking for mature bodies to help protect Rowell & Anderson in their first year, I would do Seb & next year's first for Bing and their second next year in a heartbeat.

How does that improve our team? You are trading away our best midfielder and Dual Bnf winner. The narrative on this board is that Ross is shit. But he beat out 3 blokes who had great years this year to claim the Bnf.

I think it’s funny how everyone thinks we just started speaking to Gold Coast. Like we haven’t had discussions for months.

I still think king will be a saint in 2021. Your only hope is if Adelaide implode and the suns need picks.


Crows are imploding ... ever since the camp .

I think he’s also .....personally think the Bruce situation was being to Gold Coast but Dogs contract
thru curve ball..but still works long term .

Last hurrah at Giants ..for Whitfield next year too.

Look all I know is that there isn’t an issue with our Cap. Far from it.

Bruce and Steven would be in our top 5 earners. Replace 1 with Hill and your in good shape. Jones Ryder Gray etc wouldn’t be on massive coin.

Trouble is, someone like Ross is a good player but that the Saints best isn't good enough for finals. The bar needs to be raised and in the end it's all about the club, not the individual.

At what stage does Steven make a sacrifice for his own mental heath?

Seems like we need to bend over backwards due to his mental health, perhaps he could tear up his contract and play at Geelong for less seen as he wants to be closer to family.

Not happy but may be prepared to take understand to get him to Geelong but no way we pay for the bloody privilege as well.

Not to mention that Jack himself should not want us screwed in the deal.

I'm certainly not saying he is s**t; although I haven't been a fan from what I saw this year. His trade currency would be good and we're going to have to give something big up to get Bing. Also personally I think RoMa is our best midfielder ;)

Also - to your first point. It doesn't improve our team next year or the year after that; but longer term I think it would make us better.

Isaac? Yep. Lock that one in.

Leader, elite kick, quick, makes us a better side.

What do they want in return? Brandon White?

Uncontracted and definitely improves our side, 3 years is a stretch but he’s still playing very good football.

and Battle kicks over 50 goals , media will be going inspired drafting.

Really happy with direction ....myself

My argument to this is that Ross’s best footy is played when runs forward of centre. His best games tend to end with him having scoreboard impact and as evident under Ratten he excelled just by doing this.

Richo had him behind the ball at half back at times. Terrible positioning for a bloke who is suspect kicking under pressure and isn’t a penetrating kick.

This. At one point he was defending ****ing Sandilands.
