It’s much more likely to be accidentally correct at least a couple of times, so this consistent track record of being wrong on every single player evaluation is really quite the sight to behold. Hats off to you for beating the odds I guess.

Yoiu’re still salty Junktime couldn’t back up his one great year… as I said he wouldn’t reach all Australian level again.

 

[bzparkes]

Sounds like the question has at least been asked which should placate a few

If the guy doesn't want to come there's not much we can do

Umm, offer him $3m a year to turn his head, duh.

Sack Dumb Puke.

Steele to Collingwood would be my tip

Need more inside midfield grunt, especially after losing Mitchell

Can they afford the 900k-1mill price tag?

 

[CountryLad]

Righto mate, whatever you say.

Next you'll say thay, ol' fumbleballs Clarke wasn't physically pulled away and put into timeout after a pithy tongue lashing from consultant Phil because he couldn't close Matt Owies - please.

I enjoyed Phil’s stories always made me smile. Wish he would leave hore island and come back to entertain us once more.

Yoiu’re still salty Junktime couldn’t back up his one great year… as I said he wouldn’t reach all Australian level again.

Most of us would be upset Waterman got injured and missed most of the year.

You on the other hand are delighted about it.
Says more about you mate.

 

[Goroyals22]

Probably not the worst offender, but key word waterman can give people a laugh on this forum.

Easier to type in Junktime

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yoiu’re still salty Junktime couldn’t back up his one great year… as I said he wouldn’t reach all Australian level again.

Following his AA blazer, Waterman’s played one half of a season before needing a shoulder reconstruction.

The fact you’re somehow crowing about that proving you justified in your obsessive relentless criticism is just mid boggling. Even by your standards of being a total campaigner on basically every topic.

No way. I wanted him to play each week..
never wish injury on any of our players .. says more bout you champ

 

[Tugga27]

Apparently, he's on about $800 000.

With TDK and Nas signed on big deal, Saints would probably prefer he went.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Yeah not a world beater but played every week in a midfield that made a Prelim. In his prime (even though his real prime might be his first few years of his career)

Averages 20d 5t and 5c in some
Sub affected games. Did turn it over or got caught too many times. Percentages are low you find his replacement with that pick.

Agreed they’re unlikely to find his replacement at the pick but really that shouldn’t be what compensation is (if it even needs to exist at all).

Should soften the blow somewhat but if the compo is designed to effectively be 1:1 there’s really no point to the draft at all at a certain stage:

It's a term of endearment nowadays.

‘The bloke I swore black and blue wouldn’t even get a game in any other team made All Australian so now I’ve pivoted to yeah but he won’t do it again’.

You got me brother, I yield to your elite ball knowledge.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

Ideally we’re recruiting Robertson onto the rookie list which would require Brisbane to delist him so we can sign him via the SSP

We would also need to shift Cripps and/or Barnett to the rookie list

We can sign him as a delisted free agent onto the rookie list cant we?

 

[FatPizza]

Umm, offer him $3m a year to turn his head, duh.

Sack Dumb Puke.

We need to spend outside the soft cap to recruit Jack Steele. It's so obvious.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

We can sign him as a delisted free agent onto the rookie list cant we?

No, but we can ask him not to nominate for the drafts and then sign him as an SSP rookie.

That’s the path GWS are taking with Laverde and Freo took with Sharp a couple of years ago.

Are you asking us or the grandparents?

 

[Aarick13]

If Dev is on the main list, it would currently only allow us to draft 3 players and put the 3 NGA's and Banfield on the rookie list.
This will be further complicated if we choose to match a Banfield or NGA bid meaning they'll occupy a main list spot.
We'll need to delist more players, which shouldn't be a massive problem. Cut Barnett and/or Owies early for example.

We can only match bids if we have the list spot available. So if we go in with 3 spots and draft 3 players we cant match any of the NGA or Banfield.

Its better for us to leave atleast 1 spot open for the draft then take Dev in the PSD if he wants to come here.

 

[Boohemian]

If he's done the hard yards and looking forward to success, then why would he stay with St Kilda?

St Kilda are the anti-thesis of success.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

No, but we can ask him not to nominate for the drafts and then sign him as an SSP rookie.

That’s the path GWS are taking with Laverde and Freo took with Sharp a couple of years ago.

Ahhh righro

Not sure about wetting the bed but there are some skid marks in here already.
