Done, only if you throw in a third rounder and a packet of pretzels for Goddard.
I've heard that since last week's game we have turned our attention to Tom Hickey. His physical presence on the ball and his strong contested marking skills are exactly what we need going forward. We may not be able to fit Jack under the cap once this mega deal is done.

There's a Jake billings thread? Boy oh boy
Jack. And why wouldn't there be?
Reputedly has agreed to terms and deal will be signed when his managers gets back from overseas soon. Will follow his best mate Sinclair's re-signing this week.
If he agreed to terms it would've been before his manager went overseas... it would've been his manager negotiating the terms!
Phones do work internationally.....
Of course it was his manager. All players use mangers these days., except Cloke who I think still uses his Dad.
Point I was making was that deal is essentially agreed to, but will not be finally signed off till the manager gets physically back.

Won't re-sign until he sees what Kelly does. Wants to play with best friend Luke McDonald and kelly going to north seals the deal.

So you're getting Kelly, Billings, Hopper and Green.
And only offloading Goldstein and pick 20 for pick 8. Righttt.
Schools out.

Feels a bit like the club originally lowballed him due to the underwhelming start to his career, whilst that's fair from a Saints POV, it opens the door for another club to enter in the conversation.
We don't actually know what Mayne is getting, nor do we know if it's trigger based. If it's trigger based, he could stand to collect a minimum AFL wage for all we know.
I know the way Hine works (based on what he constantly says), if a player is taken as a first round pick in their draft (as Billings was), is their current output greater (or = to) or less than that?
I would assess his form probably similar to where he was taken. So he's probably worth a first round pick, sure.
But my question to you is whether the Saints would want three first round picks in the same draft? Or a future first? Or would you take a player with a second?
I dunno. If he wants us and we want him, I'm sure we'd come up with something. I reckon if you're fair dinkum about landing Kelly etc. you may just have to attempt to underpay and/or lose the likes of Billings.

The only way JB could possibly be squeezed out because of lack of available money is if we got both kelly and dusty.
Even then, we'd probably just shuffle the deckchairs elsewhere (trade longer or hickey or something) before lowballing JB.
We have more cap room than any team in the comp.
have been frontloading every large contract (armo carlisle steven) for years just to meet the 95% minimum...and can now use 105% of the cap for the next 3 years.
Lack of available money wont be a reason for JB playing elsewhere next year, unless dusty and kelly are in.

Maybe we're not that into him?
We recruited him to be a midfielder and he isn't one.
Lack of willingness (not money) to pay him 50% more than he's worth could be a reason he leaves- no question
I can see it now... comes to the Pies and suddenly he's more than OK to play midfield.
Bit like Howe being reluctant to play back as a Demon

Yeah I was thinking that Collingwood should be looking at bringing in more midfielders.
We need more players that can kick and play multiple positions. Billings fits the bill IMO. Not all Pies fans will agree with me though.
