Toast Coffield and Clark sign on for 2 more years

[hayes]

Pumped to have future Dal and Goddard for another couple of years.

 

[StCicatriz]

Yep, but we’ll have the money for them if no one is too greedy. Don’t see them leaving a team on the up. Have we ever, in the 2000s, lost a player we wanted to keep?

tom lynch is one that comes to mind

Don’t think Ross Lyon wanted to keep him.
We should have though.

Every time I see Dusty play, I think of Watters, and not fondly.

Games after leaving St Kilda, in the last 25 years or so:

200+: Barry Hall (201)
151 - 200: Matty Lappin (196), Joel Smith (163), Jamie Cripps (161), Brent Guerra (159)
101 - 150: Tom Lynch (146), Matty Carr (134), Ben McEvoy (131), BJ Goddard (129), Mark Hutchings (116)
51 - 100: Zac Dawson (89), Rhys Stanley (86), Luke Ball (81), Goose Maguire (71), Nick Dal Santo (62)
21 - 50: Stevie Sziller (38), Jimmy Gwilt (26), James Begley (25), Tom Hickey (23), Cain Ackland (21), Trent Knobel (21)
11 - 20: Josh Bruce (17), Jack Newnes (17), Joe McLaren (12), Ben Schwarze (11)
1 - 10: Sam Cranage (10), Jack Steven (9), Blake Acres (7), Andrew McQualter (5), Tommy Walsh (5), Farren Ray (4), Darren Minchington (4), Hugh Goddard (2), Mav Weller (2), Xavier Clarke (1)
0: Brent Cowell, Chris Hemley, Nick Heyne, Nick Hind, Adam Pattison

So I reckon the only ones we wanted to keep were: Joel Smith, Jamie Cripps, Zac Dawson, Luke Ball. Bally definitely the one that hurt most there.

Jack Steven, Bruce (possibly less worried about him).

 

[lewdogs]

Jack Steven, Bruce (possibly less worried about him).

We definitely didn't want to keep Bruce. Pretty much ushered him out the door.

We low balled Zac so badly. Not even mad he left.

I’m not even sure that at the end the club wanted to keep Stuv. We got his best years but due to obvious circumstances his time was pretty much up.
I have absolutely no fears that we will lose any of our top 15 or so that we want to keep.

That puts many into perspective. I wonder how other teams fared compared to us

Yeah - our cap was an absolute state in 2012 and that was still a couple years after Ball turned his back on 7 figures.

We weren't happy Cripps wanted out. Lynch is less clear, felt like we didn't value him.

Mark Hutchings has done unbelievably well to play 116 games of AFL. It goes to show that you don't need Grade A talent to stick around, fella is barely even bang average yet he's got a premiership under him and 100 games.
And Cripps now a life member...

Heath Black was disappointing, we paid big to get him over, and we got Fiora when he left.

Oh yeah, somehow he missed the list, played 89 when he went back to Freo.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Jeez it's great Coff and Hunts have extended.
Both these guys are future AA..
