Doesn't worry you that he has a light frame and is only 69 kg? Most of the top AFL mid fielders are mid 80's kg or more. You would think he would take 2-3 years to put on sufficient weight.

Even guys that look light framed like Harley Bennell are over 80kg.

Laverde is ready made for AFL in season 1. Why wouldn't we go for somebody with that sized frame?
Yep let's go for mature bodies because we are clearly in the premiership window and don't have time to develop 18 year olds :drunk::drunk::drunk:

Francis is a superstar in the making. Huge pin point kicking. Reads the play well is a good intercept mark. we will be a general down back. He will develop into a mid in his prime to I think. I wanted Laverde so bad last year this year I want Francis


And who ever said he got smashed by Schache, he's not a key back and gives away about 10cms to home so I wouldn't judge Francis off that

I always loved dominoes on the proviso I could set them up and knock them down. Watching someone else do it was and is boring. Even worse is when Ameet keeps ******* with them and making big gaps in the trail.

Makes no difference because Carlisle wants the payday from st kilda
Depending on the pay difference and the trade offered by whom, would we be happy to say pay $100K of his salary to get him to go elsewhere?

Not sure how I feel about it but thinking out loud.

I'd probably do it if it meant the difference in offers. If the Saints offer pick 5 take it and move on. If all they offer is pick 24 and a fringe player, and Buckets is happy to go somewhere else with us paying some of his wage, I think it is worth it. Not ideal, but better than what the Sints seem to be offering.

they are probably just putting it out there to scare Saints abit. and who knows with carlisle he could change his mind and go elsewhere if saints wont deal. be very surprised if we got an offer better than pick 5!!

Absolutely worth it. 2 deals on the table better then pick 5 minus 100k >>>> fringe player and 24.
