Traded Jack Steven [traded to Geelong for #58]

[Scotland]

What's with all the supermarket and car analogies?

 

[Senor M]

And Saints keep him and the salary cap hit that they can't wear.

They need to get his contract off the books, that's part of the leverage

Do you genuinely believe that the Saints may be close to their salary cap?

Even if they add the Brad Hill contract on top of the Dan Hannebery deal from last year; the Saints will still have space in their cap. They are most likely only paying just above the 95% minimum at the moment.

There's no reason for them to be so ******* stingy.

How is it stingy if you are paying market rate?

 

[Present Not Past]

Are you talking draft picks or apples?

[Dockernut]

st kilda folded lol

Done deal congrats.

I hope he has a bloody good year and gets back to his best. Always wanted to see how he goes when he's not tagged every week.

Can't help feeling like St Kilda got railroaded on this somehow.

 

[g_TRAIN]

st kilda folded lol

Yes but his mental health was more important

Depends on how much of his contract Geelong had to take doesn't it?

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Yes but his mental health was more important

Not for Geelong

Wow! Feel a bit sorry for the Saints. They would’ve been the bad guys if they held out for an earlier pick because of his mental health battles. Pick 58 is an absolute steal, feel like some common ground should’ve been found and him moved for pick 37. Hope they aren’t paying any of his salary.

St Kilda did the right thing by the player

 

[Ash1337]

I have a feeling 58 will be part of the pick swap for Bruce.

Can't help feeling like St Kilda got railroaded on this somehow.

Ah well, they got most of their trade targets, so i think they will be okay.

Unfortunately, the relative cheapness of this trade means that the unsavoury rumour won't go away.

St Kilda did the right thing by the player

I'm sick of doing the right thing and getting sfa!

 

[Wojcinski]

Not for Geelong

Lol wat

 

[Cicatriz]

Not for Geelong

So a higher pick would have solved his health issues? Which pick would have tipped the balance to make him feel better?

I'm sick of doing the right thing and getting sfa!

That's what you get when dealing with Geelong unfortunately.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

This is daylight robbery by us.

 

[HolyWars]

Geelong did extremely well here. Big win for them.

 

[projectv]

Jack has been wonderful for us. I hope he gets his head right and wish him all the best at Geelong.

 

[hbk2015]

Go home factor and mental health, only comes into play when it suits Geelong

 

[Rickee]

TL;DR We stiffed Port something shocking and Geelong decided they couldn't live with not being the biggest shitbags in the comp so they took advantage of us twice as bad.
