They have been told by their mum that they aren't allowed to play with him (Aleer) anymore.

The reality is they'd be able to walk him through in the PSD if they were willing to pay what they originally offered.
Nobody is matching that offer and he'd get through to the Aints for zero draft picks.
GWS said they weren't putting up much of a fight to keep him anyway.

The Saints out of the blue don't want him anymore. Pathetic!!!
Their word means less than zero now.

After 2x years of courting this guy and getting his hopes up that he was going to make huge $$$, they simply pull out mid trade week with zero serious explanation.

Even just a few days ago, old-mate grubby Allen literally said "we'll get it done" regarding Aleer... and "we have plenty more cash to splash". All of a sudden... NOPE! Sorry bud.

It's a serious scumbag move by one of the most putrid clubs in the AFL.

Hopefully other clubs, players and managers have long memories about this very poor effort.

I'm actually angry for Aleer, and I have no skin in the game. Imagine how dirty he'd be with them.

I admit that it's absolutely possible that he's a thoroughly decent bloke off the field. But as you've pointed out here, there's a bunch of his antics on the ground that have been more cringeworthy than most.

Miers i wouldn't do but stengle i would (reluctantly). I wouldn't do mannagh unless he forced it because he got offered huge money and wanted it-hes too good to push out.
You persevere with Stengle.
O. Henry cannot get a game with us. Yet he would be a great fit with Ainsworth.
Why give up our best goalscoring small.

Mackie:

  • confident we could get both deals done - but clear Carlton won't do the deal so we have our suite of picks back.
  • we'll keep exploring Marshall if he's keen to get here which he is, and we're keen to get him in.
  • "are offers you've made final?" - we weren't mucking around with our offers, first rounders are valuable, intention was to do a deal for Marshall on day one.
Sounds like Mackie is pissed off with the Saints as well
