If he's a free agent and no-one is chasing him, he'll stay at the Saints.
If he goes they'll pay him accordingly. He won't leave for a pay cut. You think he's unhappy at the Saints?
So he gets a payrise and we get 2nd round minimum.
Better players have left for third rounders. Even with a pay rise he won’t be a second rounder. Anyway he will stay because I doubt there would be any interest.
 
Depends on how he comes on I guess. Tall forwards are usually pretty slow to develop and our last high draft pick tall forward is still waiting to get on the park after 5 years or so.

If he's anything like Joe Daniher.
Joe had.
5 games first year. 3 goals in his second, goalless in the rest.
21 games including an elimination on the 2nd, 28 goals.

THe main consideration is the age and salary.

Players who have gone for third rounders.
Q Lynch. OLD
Moloney OLD
Rivers OLD
Clinton Young would have been around Newnes age. Did he go to Collingwood for money? ( I can't remember).
LOL Colin Sylvia got pick 23.
Matt Suckling got end of second round.
Ty Vickery 2nd
Chris Mayne 2nd.
Alex Fasolo got 3rd.

Personally i don't think he'd leave unless he got a good payrise, and i'd be surprise if that didn't put him in 2nd. round.

I've heard we're heavily into Gawn. Dees fear outcome when he becomes UFA in 2021 - happy to look at trade next year.

Marshall to be on traded to get draft options for Gawn deal.

All those players names got huge pay. Doubting newnes is going to match those pay scales except fasolo. Anyway as I keep saying I doubt he would be wanted. There isn’t any real upside. Honest c grader.

That would be a great get if we think we can challenge. Pity he loves the dees and is a very loyal person.

Just don't go any further than that. It starts get depressing. He's missed a lot of footy

He's far more mobile than Daniher.
More like Hipwood.
Daniher is stupidly mobile for his size, not sure you have seen enough of him to get that impression but Hipwood and Daniher don’t have anything on the likes of your boy Max King. Deadset ridiculous athlete.

You said better players have got 3rd round compo.. That was ALL the players who got third round compo for free agency, plus a few others for comparison. If Newnes was disgruntled at the Saints i'd agree with you, but why is he going to move if not for money?

i always worry about the really big athletic guys.
In the end their bones and muscles are made out of the same stuff as the short stocky guys. But more load.

Not once have I said he will move. Matter of fact I think I said I doubt anyone would want him.

I don't think he'll move either, but if he does it will be for cash, and he'd probably be on decent coin already.

Yeah I've seen enough. Don't get me wrong the 3 are not comparable. I meant in terms of the impact Hipwood had in his first years at Brissy, as his mobility for someone so tall has mostly negated the fact he's a bean pole.
 
Add Gawn to our list whilst keeping Marshall and I'll listen...


It's a no to Gawn for me. It's like buying the best igniter for your nuclear arsenal before you got hold of the bomb. Get a star mid then worry about rucks. Marshall should be a gun by then anyway.
 
Hey all, watching this game reminds me of a theory I have. Saints have drafted “nice” players for a long time while trying to build a positive culture. Does anyone think nice players often aren’t the arrogant, mean, mentally tough, game winning, goal kicking, SOBs? Not saying our whole team needs to be like this but often they bring other players up with their arrogance and kill or be killed attitude. Personally I often associate nice players with a bit of mental weakness who miss easy goals. when you miss some of the goals we have done today it’s a mentally weak thing because at training they kick those goals 9/10 times. Our players who all seem like nice sorts are in complete contrast to the arrogant port players from last years draft haul who are killing us today. A lot of other clubs have gone after these arrogant types but we haven’t.

I’d love to have a few gun arrogant SOBs in our side that weren’t afraid to spray senior players like Ross and newnes when they continually bomb it forward playing mentally weak af football. I’d be interest to see what people think as to whether or not people agree we need some more of these mongrel types?
 
I think it's time to accept we have a long way to go to be truly competitive. Most of our wins come from effort rather than brilliance

Time to go bloody aggressive in the trade period and be willing to sell quality for really early picks. Having a long list of C graders isn't getting us anywhere.

The problem is - we don't have much that will attract genuine interest. We are in a catch 22 and i fear it's gonna take a few years to break out of it.
