Did anyone hear the rumour that when St Kilda were presenting to NAS what the future best 22 would look like Windhager wasn’t in it and NAS had to ask he question as to why

Was reported by Brad Hardie I believe.

I found that very hard to believe Ross loves his type the tough close checking hard running kind of player

Ahh good, we can 101% discount that then

Is it really a big game when your team has 400 possessions for 8 goals?

He had 0 GA and 4 SI. Josh Ward, by comparison had 21 possessions for 11 SI. The Saints spent the day chipping the ball back and forth waiting for Richmond to fall asleep, then went into attack.

8 players scored 100+ fantasy points. For 8 goals.

I think Windhager looks a player. Year on year improvement. Not sure why the hate

Did you watch the game? Richmond went old school Clarkson Flood and we don't have the talls to just bomb away

No, we didn't.

Isn't it GWS that is most into Windhager? Surely close enough to a straight swap for Aleer, given you are both probably offering the incoming player a far bigger contract than the outgoing one. Neither team could ask for more.

Best 22 vs best 25. Windhager is much better than Aleer

Of course he is. But you're clearly offering Aleer a far bigger contract, so the Saints don't believe that.

Small club tax, Richmond wouldn't know about that.

 

[all seeing eye]

Seems to be a large variation in how people rate him, even amongst saints supporters.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I think he v good though wasted as a tagger

 

[CatToTheFuture]

We bid on this kid at the draft too didn't we? Typical academy access for the nepo babies handed them a decent player

Geelong could have found a first round pick and taken him if they really rated him.

Actually if you were at the game you would have noticed we played +1 at the contest which allowed St Kilda to have at least one free behind the ball. At times it was the Saints that only had 4 forwards.

But back to the player, if he’s disgruntled and looking for a move, I hope the Tigers are interested. Not sure what we could offer though.

 

[Citizen Erazed]

See, if WC had any balls, THIS is the sort of player you go after. Ready made, young mid who can also shut down when required. Also stops him tagging Harley.

But via a trade, not to ruin the FA compo.

Stopped tagging weeks back. Is starting to break out as a genuine ball winning gun on the outside.

Follows all the trends of Finn Callaghan's trajectory so far.

Saints would be crazy to let this guy go.

Offered 1.7mil over 10 years to Finn a year ago but won't offer 850k to their own player who is breaking out in a similar fashion.

Lowballing him and seeing him leave would be criminal mismanagement of the list.

Much different player to Finn. I see Windhager more in the Tom Green mould

He's not a free agent...

So in draft picks... whats people thoughts on what his worth?

 

[Atomboy]

Yeah we cleaned up here.

Got a kid rated at Pick 40 for…err..Pick 47.
