Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 3

A potential match winner ??

Please.

Guess St Kilda see TDK as a potential match winner
I was a little light with my 1.5 m p/a

Could be the biggest contract in AFL history, and to a ruckman, with Rohan Marshall at full forward.

SEN VIC reporting.

While it must be stressed that no offer has been formally tabled, multiple sources familiar with the situation said the Saints have indicated they would be prepared to give De Koning a seven-year contract worth close to $12 million. The eye-watering deal would equate to around $1.7 million a season.26 mins ago

Happy to raise the bookmark on TDK to a bet where if he becomes one of the best paid rucks in the comp
you change your name to Kristof ?

 

[Stephen2]

that's insane........

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Ross is no fool. That’s the future, 2 x 200cm blokes with midfield attributes that can tap a ball, take a pack mark and kick
a goal swapping between “ruck” which is only a word now and Full Forward.

We have Thilthorpe and need one more.

Not at all. All i meant was that she was commentating on Australian tv. As we’ve had issues in the footy in the past (supporters calling players apes or monkeys, Eddy referring to Goodes as King Kong - both of which got a lot of media attention) i would have expected someone as professional as Isa to be a bit more sensitive to the topic? I am sure it wasn’t intended as a slur, however. I’m also not sure if it is used as a derogatory term in other countries.

It's not just you, it's a very Australian thing to insert ourselves into every story, but the bolded part now makes your view make sense.

Guess you missed 'monkey gate'. It is not a specifically Australian slur.

Or soccer in eastern Europe for the past 50 years.

Very happy to do that.

It's amazing how easy it is to get the tag of matchwinner nowadays - you used to have to actually win someone a match to get that. [emoji23]

Interesting that most coverage today was how insane St Kilda would need to be to offer that, but I guess they have to spend it on someone ...

As long as it’s not Phillipou or Wanganeen Milera

Having a strong season this year and finishing well above St Kilda (and Port) would present an opportunity that won't be as obvious if we were to finish down the ladder again.

Getting one of these two would be a great off season for us.

Ummm.....and a ruckman too...

The thought of Billy taking pack marks made me lol.

What i find interesting, is how much of the focus is on the theoretical offensive thing that she didn't mean, rather than what it was she was actually trying to say.

FFS. How about we judge people on who they are and what they believe, not the worst person that we can pretend they are to make us look more righteous.

If they have so much money that they can throw that towards TDK, then they must have millions put aside for Phillippus and Wanganeen Milera.

Hopefully this is the money they’ve already said no to!

Jeez hope they do it. What a waste of salary cap.

With all of the melts on our board over our ruck position - imagine if we went into a season with only one ruckman on the list who had tasted AFL footy and that ruckman is struggling with a pelvic stress fracture!

Hopefully this offer will make them feel short-changed

By most reports Phillipou is happy in Vic?

As for NWM, I’m just getting the sense he’s gettable.

And, boy, would he be a huge get. His ceiling is in the A McLeod conversation. Huge call, I know. But I honestly think he is St Kilda’s best young talent. And we should offer whatever it takes. Would top this list off to perfection.

Not sure he's Macca level, but agree he's very, very promising.
Would be a massive get.

Some at St Kilda say he told club of his want to return home when he inked his two year extension,
they also think it’s no coincidence Miles Bergman signed a two year extension after floating wanting to get back to VIC about six weeks later . Saints also drafted Toby Trevaglia , think they may be insuring against him leaving.

 

[Coopers]

It would be awesome if the saints started screaming "rebuild!" and these guys were offered up.

 

[FR0GGY]

Port will work him into the butters deal

TDK. Hindsight and all i know but McAsey draft and other clubs missed him as well. Some top draft picks between Fish and TDK

 

[Cromulant]

Maybe, but Butters wont be going to St Kilda

 

[Mutineer]

The signature St Kilda can't afford to lose ahead of sizeable spending spree

While the Saints prepare to splash cash on the open market, their top target may already call Moorabbin home.

You think Port would be the front runners then?

I hope to god we’ve been showing him the love. Is Ben William’s his manager? Pretty sure he has a few Crow lads on his books. So maybe that helps. I’d happily make him the highest ever paid crows player, if that’s what it takes
