Oh yes, I had forgotten that and I should know better. No offence intended.As we found out with Stuv, players who have mental health breaks lose all trade value.
I was in the trade Membrey camp three months ago but i the few games he's played this year he was very different to under Ratts and much better for it.
We don't know if Hayes will ever get himself right and Hammer needs more development. With 1 more year on his contract we should keep Timmy and wrap our arms around him.
After that he'll retire or stay on for substantially less money.
I agree with you somewhat.
The Billings era rebuild failed spectacularly and probably can be said never really took off.
It’s always easier for us to say the next crop of kids we draft will take us to the flag.
We just have no idea about the draft and how they develop. We can do our best but it’s a crapshoot
But I will say this, our list right now isn’t good enough. Either we tread water and finish 5-10 next few seasons and then inevitably have to rebuild in 5-7 years or we try and make the list younger and try to contend in that time.
Both are likely not to lead to a flag cause it’s bloody difficult to win one but I’d rather try to win than just tread water.

The 95% TPP has a lot to answer for. Reckon kids get overpaid and take it a bit for granted.
We won on Wood, lost on Acres, good to see him going well.

Factually incorrect. Membrey had to give RTB a rusty trombone in front of Warrick Capper and Ricky Nixon at a lady’s night involving Nadia Bartel.Only posting here as it seems where most are
Is it true Tim Membrey was forced to address the players prior to the Giants game by the afl? I heard yes and I heard it was terrible for all involved.
The afl making that a condition for saints picking Caminity?
Drag a guy having a mental health crisis away from care and make him stand up in front of a playing group to explain his health condition.All the news earlier, was that Lyon had addressed the group before the game.
Why would they try to keep something like that secret, when everyone knows you can't keep anything AFL secret.
It all depends on what is available in the draft. Most of us have an idea that pick one is better than early teens picks. But who is available at those picks?
Given that we want to add talent to our list, would we better getting three mid first round picks or the number one in isolation?
In the above scenario we’d also be giving away two best 18 players and bringing in three 18 year old unknowns (or one unknown 18 year old).
Yeah we all should hope he fails and wish him nothing but illFor all those having wet dreams about Blake Acres - here's a reminder of what a "gun" he was when we got rid of him

They wouldn’t bite.
But it beats melbournes and the dogs offers for the suns pick. So if you want a hypothetical dream to be sold……..
Saints grab pick 4 and keep 11.
12 + 13 to the suns.
At the Suns pick your taking a Duursma/Mckercher.
potentially looking at Sanders/Caddy/O’Sullivan at 11 - which are 3 very different.
Exactly. Port did this in the 2018 draft and it really kick started their regeneration. They had picks 5, 12 and 18.
There are pros and cons in upgrading or taking the picks to the draft. I don’t know enough about the top end talent in this draft to know whether trading-up is worthwhile or whether the depth of talent is there at 11-12-13. But if the latter is true then I’m happy if our guys go to the draft table.
It would be interesting to know what sort of a deal could we broker, or want to broker, if we had 11-12-13. Lots of fun with that hypothetical.
Why didn’t we just stick with naughton. We were all over himOn paper we had a good hand in the Coffield, Clark draft.
In reality it was a pretty ordinary group to select from.

Should we have refused the Hawks deal and taken Florent, Brodie, or Simpkin the year before?
Should we have packaged our 2 picks and tried to trade higher into that draft?
Nar you can't have players drafted to poorly run crap clubs and getting paid less because of it.The 95% TPP has a lot to answer for. Reckon kids get overpaid and take it a bit for granted.

They don't, they get paid a standard draftee contract for 2 years.Nar you can't have players drafted to poorly run crap clubs and getting paid less because of it.

Yeah he wouldnt be on the list. If we didn't trade him he would have been delisted for sure.Acres wouldn't be playing good footy if we kept him lol. It's like regretting trading Jack Newnes cause he won a game for Carlton once
