"WEST Coast ruckman Scott Lycett will not be at St Kilda next year, telling the club Port Adelaide is his preferred destination.

The Saints made a significant play for the ruckman but were pipped by the Power, which foxfooty.com.au understands have won the race for Lycett on a long-term deal.

With West Coast involved in finals and able to match any rival offer due to Lycett’s restricted free agency status, a move will not become official until early October."

Made sense .....slice is handy ...but well pick up free agent from somewhere to fill his spot

Silly move by him if you ask me ......sucsessful franchise ....we have made 6 grand finals in 30 seasons

Finals 23 out of 30.

 

[twinkletoes#17]

Strange reaction to our win against Port if he is now joining them lol

 

[kerrazy]

What will we get for him? Band 2? What's that? Pick 30 odd? * that sucks.

 

[StateOE]

So we're back to square one with 0 1st rucks next year like 2017...
Why would he leave if he's the main man next year with us and possibly beyond?

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

I would take this article with a grain of salt.

It is a weird move to go to Port- he wants to be a #1 ruck but he will be in the exact same spot at Port as he is here.

Plus I think they’re on the downward trend anyway. Polec (their best outside mid) is supposedly out the door.

Gray, Westhoff, Boak, Ebert, Dixon, Ryder, Rockliff, Hartlett are all 28 +, Motlop, Pittard & Watts will all be 28 by the time next year comes around.

That’s a lot of players in your best 22 who are moving outside of their prime. I don’t see the kids coming through as quickly, even though from what I’ve read from the president & such they believe they’re a young team.

I don’t see a big future in Port beyond next year. But I suppose for Lycett you take the money and run, I’m not sure we 100% rate him as a pure #1 ruck. I think he will regret it later on.

Ha ha as if the media knows what's going on, didn't all the media have Sloane leaving the Crows and Gov going to the purples. Lycett doesn't strike me as the type to say anything whilst finals are going on. Until Scott confirms this, it is all a load of horse crap.

 

[Doughboy]

Don't most of the media hear it from a mate who knows a guy, who has a cousin, whose mate works with a guy that is related twice removed from an uncle that knows Lycett managers mate.

Not sure if this would be something that would be on the cards with the club playing finals

A couple of thoughts
It may not be true
He isn't a true dominant ruckman and we can cover the loss
We will certainly match and trade if it is true (Ebert karma)

Business decision. They've obviously offered a lot of money and he will cash in. Nothing against our club.

If they are offering a big deal as its being reported, we wont bother matching. The compo will be enough.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Cant blame scotty if port are throwing massive cash at him .

Feel a bit sorry for him if he goes TBH .

Port have really dug the boots into rockliff watts and motlop this year when everything went to s**t .

Lycett will have to play out of his skin

As you say we can not lose
Plus I think Vardy has more fight in him and more upside- Nic will be back
Getting this out early clears the deck if it is so

"foxfooty understands..." = we're guessing.

 

[Ghossein]

don't lie to me fox footy, you don't understand anything

 

[KERRPOW]

Ill probably wait untill the club or slyce confirms this themselves.

 

[dave123]

It makes sense

I hope he’s told our club he’s going if he’s going

It’s why Roughead and hickey have been spoken to

Ok so we pick up a free agent .....

It’s a shame but the Players wanted free agency .....they want yo be Able to nominate where they go

Lol that’s funny

Just do t drive out of the city limits ok ,,,,lol

 

[Ghossein]

the more I think about it the more believable it becomes

"Port Adelaide offer a B-C grade mature player a significant salary" is a completely believable scenario
