De Goey's Manager:

“The one thing I would say about the Saints – and Jordy conveyed that to me last night too. As hard as it is to tell the team that might miss out on you, his decision was to remain a Collingwood footballer, it wasn’t to not go to another club such as St Kilda,” he said.

“They put forward a really impressive and strong stance on trying to lure Jordan over. Both he and I were super impressed with the Saints at every meeting we had from everyone within that organisation.

“Unfortunately it didn’t pan out.”

Unfortunately. Interesting use of words.
 
We picked up Crouch as a free agent and we just about snared DeGoey so I would say the club is not doing to bad - treading water for 3 years - well it is how you see it , we have totally burned through the list and we are getting to the stage were we can make a massive leap.
King with a few years under his belt is only going to get stronger and better , kids like Battle have finally found there spot , guys like Steele , Marshall , Wilkie , Sinclair have many years ahead of them if you look at Geelong and the new kids we have brought in look to have fixed us for years to come.
Bottom 6 next 3 years

The only thing worse than that is James Hird in the limelight. I can’t stand his smug self entitled floppy ferret face. With the mad parrot Sheedy standing proudly and overrated behind him pulling unseen strings.

I never thought I’d be pleased to see another Scott, but there you go!
As if on queue…

He was only paid $600 a year or something but they kept pushing it out and not paying all of it. It's got to a point where he is so expensive to pay out that they have to pay someone off to take him.

Geelong will pay him $300 pa as a his base wage but then spread the $400k pa he's going to have added on over the 4 years so he'll be taking $700k per year off them but guaranteed a long term deal to take a hit and get his back pay as he goes for example. If they get him and Humphrey he's being paid a decent wage but not crippling and you get a star kid who won't be earning big bucks for a few years any way.
Exactly!
Hence why we should be doing it

You either pay what’s owing to Bowes in the next two years or you’re out simple as that. No diluting his salary over four or five years to gain a foothold. Either pay up or **** off out of the race.
 
I think the main thing Bytel would want is opportunities. He’d probably accept a one year deal if he thought he was going to get a game.
He can earn one.

On one hand, good on Sheedy for continuing to back Hirdy in such a public manner. On the other - very destabilizing and self serving to do so. It only comes at the expense of their club.

If I was an Essendon fan I'd be pretty angry about that kind of rhetoric

If you give him an extra two years on 300k I doubt he says no.

He'll have gone from playing in the VFL to a guaranteed 4 years on an AFL list.

He's still getting his 1.7 million dollars owed to him plus another 600k on top.

I'll be surprised if whoever gets him doesn't do this to be honest. He'll end up on close 600k a year.

If we were planning on paying JDG 850k+ next year then surely we could paying Bowes that plus some more of his contract next year and smooth it out that way.

Guess you haven't heard of Dougal Howard then, big shot.

Here's a hint - think of a mix of Winmar and Loewe. Superior in the air and electrifying at ground level.

And you call yourself a supporter.

I nearly won tattslotto too , DeGoey was playing the game , no person in their right mind would leave Collingwood to come play for us , the two clubs are chalk and cheese , i love my Saints but sometimes you need to be realistic, there will need to be some special connection for us to snare a gun player
 
Without De Goey I can’t see us being a flag threat lbh.

More mid table mediocrity coming up
There's a million areas of the club that we can improve without JDG.
We could start with when defenders are switching the ball 35 metres across defence it doesn't bounce before reaching the recipient.
And carry on from there. Start sheparding for the ball carrier. Talking to the ball carrier. Not picking when to two-way run. Etc.

So Sheedy either voted for him because of stuff he did in the past that isn’t related to how good a coach he will now be, or because he knew he would not get a majority vote and could therefore do it out of some sort of misguided respect. Either way, I think the board must give the mad parrot a ceremonial vote only. So it probably was unanimous…!

Bytel to Norf for a future priority pick.

Long, 9 & Norfs future 2nd to GC for Bowes, 7 & 25.

Draft the best mid at 7 (whoever slides out of McKenzie/Phillipou), Elijah Hewett at 9, Oli Hotton a chance to slide to 25, and Charlie Clarke at 28.

Think we’d rather keep 9 based on Gags’ comments
