I have a lot of faith with our recruiters but I really wonder what we see in Ryan.

His career has imo been quite underwhelming and made to look better than his day-to-day by some exceptional highlights. Plus we paid a (edit) second and pick swaps for Liam Henry a couple of years ago to come across and do a very similar role?

If Ryan is on modest coin and can be a mentor and move into the kind of elder role that's great, but I would hope the trade capital is absolutely minimal.

Henry was traded for a second rounder and a swap of fourth rounders.

Apologies, edited. I thought we traded out our first in that deal and then traded back in to wind up with 18 which ended up as Wilson.

Need goals to win

 

[SainterinSydney]

Who knows what next years draft looks like with potential Tasmania concessions ect.

But Aleer isn't a free agent? How can they let him walk?

 

[jimmytigs]

carlton last game thursday night,so TDK announcement?cant see it drawing out till trade and free agency period,could be locker 12 cleaned out friday or saturday & next piece of the puzzle in place unofficially until october 3



i remember this ad when i was a kid,just wasnt certain on the letters,turns out they are the right ones

 

[St Neil]

He's only 28 and has shown that he can be a very very good forward.

Will only be an asset to our great club, will have the support and community he needs to maximise his potential.

What does he cost in a trade?

 

[bergholt]

Well that escalated quickly. Looks like the Saints agree with him having 4 years left. Will add a bit to the price I’d imagine.

You guys will ask for a pick in the 20s, we'll offer a pick in the 40s, it'll get done in the 30s I reckon.

Battle announced he was out on August 28th last year, just after round 23. I imagine it'll be the same with TDK.

I think you are hugely underrating Ryan. He's not giong to look good at a team as dysfunctional at the Eagles but his numbers are solid. If we can get King back out there next year with Sharman and Owens as foils (and maybe Dodson) a crumbing unit of Ryan and Higgins could be lethal.

Throw in the fact that Ryan and Hall can move in and out of the midfield and we look a fair bit more dynamic.

To be fair, they’ve only won 11 games in 4 seasons… out of 79, soon to be 80 games played.

Ehh, so does Max Hall, having statistically almost as good a season as Ryan in a very similar role and five years younger (but maybe we want to move Hally into the midfield).

I just found it odd we'd be setting this up given the Henry trade but Punter already corrected me that the draft capital for that trade was a lot lower than I thought so meh.

 

[akaifu]

Lol Aleer isn't even a free agent

Poor attempt at gaining ITK status

 

[akaifu]

What does he cost in a trade?

Future 2nd imo

Max Hall is a high half forward

Ryan is a forward pocket

They are incomparable in terms of role imo

A better comparison would be Wilson's forward role which he's been useless at when played there this year (i think he ends up a gun wing/inside mid in the future)

 

[Saints TV]

We cookin'

 

[kyrgios]

love what this club is building. Next year is going to be orgasmic.

 

[St Neil]

Future 2nd imo

I’d read we were trading a future 2nd for Aleer.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

I'm not really enamored with the Ryan rumour... he was an absolute gun at his best but at (almost) 29, injuries are a worry as is the cost of getting a contracted player in.

I'm absolutely 100% against it if it involves Lancey Boy. Would be very surprising after Ross' comments about Lance earlier this year ('He'll be one of the best small forwards in the league').

 

[akaifu]

I’d read we were trading a future 2nd for Aleer.

We currently have 2 future 2nds - 2026 & 2027

We will somehow get another in via player departures imo

Port Adelaide's $30 million Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera offer report vanishes | Sporting News Australia

St Kilda's Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera turned down the biggest deal in AFL history - and left $500,000-a-season on the table - to stay at the Saints.

There's a fight you'd pay money to see.

Morris v Cleary

is a great player, assuming he doesn’t cost heaps in a trade.. I’m very keen.

Another player that puts bums on seats.
