It feels like its now gone past the point where hes going to re-sign, but Boaks 2012 contract wasnt announced until 5th Sept, so there has been an example of a much sought after player signing this late

My memory is Boak had agreed to re-sign in late July that year and it was complicated by the Primus sacking in early Ausgust and then he waited for a period after that as Port looked for a new coach.

I think it would have happened a month earlier without the Primus sacking.

I was at the post-match function after that drawn Round 23, 2012 match against Richmond at the MCG, and Peter Rohde revealed then that Boak had signed.

Andrew joined PAFC in 1993, playing in the under age sides after he played seniors in the NTFL's 1992-93 season. he turned 17 in August 1993. A few years ago I did a deep dive on how the **** Freo had rights to him to do the Froome trade.

Bucky signed him up after he was BOG in a 1993 Teal Cup game where NT beat one of the Victorian teams. Bucky took a punt that if we get the licence in 1996 we could sign him up. But he was too good to wait around for 2 years. He was a big Michael Long / Essendon fan.

If we went into the AFL in 1991 we would have relied on AFL concession rules at the time. Who knows at the time what they would have been.

If we got the same rules the crows got then we would have had no rights to him. The crows got the SANFL as a zone for 1990 and 1991 drafts and they first entered the 1992 mid season draft followed by the 1992 national draft. Under those rules we would have had no rights to McLeod.

Part of Freo's initial concession rights in 1994 signing/trade/draft period for their inaugural squad, was they could take 2 players in the SANFL outside of the draft as well as 2 from both VFL and TFL and unlimited players from WAFL as well as 10 or 12 uncontracted AFL players over 2 years. We got nothing as good as that in 1996. After he played in Port's 1994 flag, Freo's recruiters told Neesham they should take him under these rules.

Freo flew McLeod and his father to Perth to meet Neesham, who had never seen him play. McLeod was insulted by Neesham asking him to stand up so he could see how tall he was and that Freo's set up was so new and so poor and behind what Port had at the time. He said he's not interested, so Freo traded the rights to him to the crows for Chris Froome who was a promising KPF, but would only last a year at Freo, be traded to North and then do his ACL and have ongoing knee injuries. Froome only racked up 24 games in 6 seasons for 3 clubs. It became the biggest dud trade in AFL history.

So I have no idea how you can definitively say he would have played for us if we got in, into the AFL in 1991.

But what a cyclist Chris Froome 4 x tour de France winner 😉

He isn’t connected in the slightest.

If Rooey starts to shit himself. That’s the one you would pay attention to.

He even said so himself on Monday that he talks to people at the club and he refutes all the stories from earlier in the week.

Why are you even on here replying? majority of the crap you post doesn't even happen or come true and you act all high and mighty all the time. Jog on back to your Saints board where you can keep pointing blame at Ben Williams and magically reading all these signs everywhere from body languages and the way Ross your boss speaks whilst turning it into some magical fairy tale garbage. You and others are the type that have pretty much screamed that Saints must be signing Windhager to also keep Nas then when you feel Nas will sign or this fairy tale story about Tex being offered a spot on the list (bribe and kinda blackmailing) you then don't give a shit about Windhager. You numpties would sell your own children ffs if it got you want you wanted.
 
From a Mick McGuane article assessing the sides that wil miss the 8:

I must admit that second bit surprised me, but points to our forward line being a major problem for us this year.
Part of it is injury, when in reality 2 of your expected 3 tall forwards play half a dozen games between them it hurts, but I also think we have had issues with small forwards.

I'm not as confident as some of having NWM leave St Kilda, or choose us for that matter, but him coming in clearly helps movement between the arcs ... but do we have to also fix something up forward beyond just getting Todd and Luko on the park.

You guys are all invited to the thread "Zac Butters - where will he be in 2027?" if we open that up next year.

That’s a good point.

I’m just wondering if he’s still trying to decide then what is it about stkilda that he still can’t figure out or that has him undecided?

What’s he waiting for?

I don’t think it’s money or the terms of the contract. We’ve gone past that.

Maybe he will stay but at the very least he must be having significant doubt about staying there.

You're kidding right? You say this shit then go back to your little band of *******s and talk shit about port supporters and people on this board. Cut the act.

You're only on here to troll and be an absolute stain. Not to engage properly in a conversation. I've read how a lot of the so called saints supporters act over on that board and its rather disturbing to be honest. Hence why I made my post about Nas not long ago, that if he does leave or even thinking about it how there will be a crap tonne of people like you and clearly many others who support saints that will treat him like crap and boo him that and definitely the racist garbage will come out harder for him too. I mean, those conversations have already started with booing and shit... That's messed up. Not throwing all saints supporters into that group but seems like quite a few.

That's how I've perceived that board.

It 100% won't be St. Kilda so it will be either a very short thread or you'll have a lot of people on the Saints forum wasting their time.

Every second poster on your board reports me to your mods from purely reacting to certain posts (some likes and some haha reacts) and not even commenting.

Literally the opposite of having a light hearted board haha. There’s a heap of nuffs over there that are triggered at the drop of a hat same as any board.

You guys need to be serious your club is fast turning into a joke, probably going to be below North Melbourne if you aren't careful.... This off season will set you back years if players decide to leave...
