As Midnight Oil once said "short memories" last year it was Battle gone being traded not happy, this year Bytel going not happy we will see what happens my guess is he stays.

Still a chance..?with the talk of Hill moving and potentially getting a first round pick for him, makes you think what if B.King hadn't signed on with Gold Coast, we definitely would have had the money to get him, and more than likely would have had the trade capital to get it done as well, without sacrificing our future too much.
Difference is Battle was contracted, Bytel isn't and we don't even know if he is being offered another year.As Midnight Oil once said "short memories" last year it was Battle gone being traded not happy, this year Bytel going not happy we will see what happens my guess is he stays.

You do realise Jack Steven was also contracted.Thomas is a talent though. I’d suggest that Clarkson would fancy his coaching to turn Thomas around.
But if we can get this deal done then I’m all for it.
I think it’s more likely that North gets pick 19 as a priority pick that they must then trade for an experienced player. This pick is used in the Hill deal.
It’s interesting that the club is quiet with all this Hill speculation swirling around. It’s North who are driving it.
Saints hold the whip hand here. Hill is contracted. North will need to take on his full salary.
Given his injury issues, 1 year seems fair but understand why he wants 2 and you'd assume he will go elsewhere if he can get that security.Has a 1 year contract tabled,manager wants 2
The Jack Steven trade was very different circumstances due to his health issues.You do realise Jack Steven was also contracted.
From what I heard Battle was unhappy last year, that's why a year is a long time in football and the reason we could ask for top dp compo for Naz.As Midnight Oil once said "short memories" last year it was Battle gone being traded not happy, this year Bytel going not happy we will see what happens my guess is he stays.
So what? Steven had mental health issues and we could see he was finished in his last season at Geelong. He requested a trade to Geelong, they didn't chase him and we traded on compassionate grounds.You do realise Jack Steven was also contracted.
So we sign Bytel for 2 years & he still has injury issues at the end of it, so supporters would carry on why did we sign him for 2 a 1 year contract to me is the right way to go, if he performs & is injury free reward with his 2 year extensiton.From what I heard Battle was unhappy last year, that's why a year is a long time in football and the reason we could ask for top dp compo for Naz.
Want him that badly pay for him or risk us in his ear for a year, telling him neither Port or Adelaide rate him enough to pay for him.
Also Battle was contracted, Bytel not.
IF Hill is traded, I can see us going hard after Grundy.
It makes too much sense both positionally with Ryder retiring and with Hill's contract off the books.
Given Collingwood were reportedly willing to pay part of his contract, they might take less pick wise if a club is willing to pay more of the contract.
I'm not sure I'd do that if I was another club though. He, unfortunately, through injury, hasn't been able to show too much. Why would another club take the risk?Given his injury issues, 1 year seems fair but understand why he wants 2 and you'd assume he will go elsewhere if he can get that security.
Clarkson to the Roos. See ya Bradley Hill.

Agree. He's had a couple of years development.I think i'd rather pay Bytel for 2 years than sign up another late draft pick for 2 years.
At least with Bytel , in 2 years we'd know for sure one way or another.
But i'd wait until someone else makes that offer first.
It would be risky. But if other clubs are interested as has been suggested, don't most players go across to other clubs on at least 2 year deals?I'm not sure I'd do that if I was another club though.

I hope he stays and proves his worth for us.
That wasn't my point.It would be risky. But if other clubs are interested as has been suggested, don't most players go across to other clubs on at least 2 year deals?
