Well I should have worded that better, he's supposedly going to announce the Saints as his preferred destination for a club, my bad.
Would make sense I guess if Ratten gets the gig..

I'd honestly rather he go to Geelong and we can package him into a trade for a Kelly, at least that way we're getting good value from it. I'd be sad if Stephen leaves too, been great for usI will cry if Stephen leaves.
Brad is a huge loss but I guess its the definition of buy low sell high.
He might break down next year and Stephen is no guarantee to play regular footy anymore.
We get 2 top 20 picks in or use for other players returning.
Duncan, Gaff, ?, Whitfield and Sidebottom.
Band 3 is a pick after our second round pick from memory.
Pick in the mid 20 to late 20's for a broken down nearly 30 year old? Yep I'd take thatWould take that in a heartbeat.
Jack Steven wants to go to Geelong, there's your connection.I'd honestly rather he go to Geelong and we can package him into a trade for a Kelly, at least that way we're getting good value from it. I'd be sad if Stephen leaves too, been great for us
Take heart, guys. If the Hill bros do leave then you'll probably be able to wave them at Geelong and secure Kelly (may even keep your draft picks, too).
Good news about Ed. I am looking forward to pinging a couple of people if a deal gets done for HillRoss saying that he's confident in keeping Ed, didn't say anything +ve about BHilly.
But I agree with the Worst this morning, I stole it from an office foyer !
We hold all the bargaining chips with the BHilly possibility, only trade if we win, and win well!!
Colin Young is not exactly in the business of supporting Freo to its maiden premiership.
Glass half full if we get St Kilda to trade (assume they miss coniglio)
Mayne = pick 23 =B Hill = pick 5 (+ B Acres?)
pick 54 = Lachie Neale = pick 6 = Jesse Hogan
Mayne (Hill) + Neale + Weller
=
Pick 5 + pick 6 + pick 2
I've been pretty vocal on the ridiculous nature of some there trade suggestions on here because they are pretty funny. Credit where its due though, there have been several on their board telling the nuffies how good Hill is and they would do their first pick happilyI just peeked on the Saints trade thread....
One saints fan offered this to freo....
Mid to late First round pick + Acres + Steak Knives for Brad Hill & Darcy Tucker
Just the 26 games so far.
2017 Stephen missing four games, Brad played those four.
2018 Brad missing twelve games, eight of which Stephen played in.
2019 Stephen missing sixteen so far, Brad played all of those.
I don't care about S.Hill leaving any more,his persistent leg injuries have cooked him.
B.Hill leaving is going to hurt a lot.If were to keep Langdon but bring in T.Kelly & Angus Brayshaw,have we potentially strengthened our midfield unit?

Well we need to start by making the club totally professional. It is not regarded as that outside of the club. When Fremantle do well it shocks the rest of the community, when Eagles do well it is expected.People in here do realise that Freo don't want Brad to go right? This is not the club pushing him out for draft picks, its Brad looking out for himself and his family.
So what is your strategy to stop players making decisions for themselves?
Also, how is a couple of players leaving rebuilding again and again? That's hyperbole. It's two players and we have turned over 32 in 3 years. Ed and Billy represent 6% of that total turnover.

Angus is not quick and should be playing inside mid.Breaks even. But we’ll have to play Colyer/Giro to add a bit more speed. Brayshaw coming in helps cover Mundy when he hangs them up...but if both go we lose speed on both wings.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Angus isn’t that quick right?

We need to turn attract players to want to come to club, not just because we pay well but because this is the place to be.
I don't expect every player to be loyal, but we need to improve this. Start at the top, remove the CEO , rebuild the whole business side.
We need to stop making excuses as a club and give the members what we desire
Ross promised a PRemiership before the end of his extended cotnrsct back in 2016. that is next year and I don't see that occurring.
How is it not written into coaches contracts that winning premierships is the goal. unless we in finals every year we are not in the right place.
But each to their own, if you happy with replacing good players with a draft pick that will take upto 3 years to fruit into a great player. then so be it
