Fantastic effort by WCE to get Cripps for next to nothing. Hawks and Eagles smashed it today.
Geez, an odd trade period for us. Three players out for a few late picks. Must be gearing up for Tippett in the draft, because it doesn't make much sense otherwise. We did keep White, though!
Haha odds on him being delisted?

I think all parties are satisfied all round.
Warnock's 3 yr contract gives me nightmares, especially when cap space is now a valuable commodity with Free Agency in play.
Not to mention our cap is being managed very tight.
Obviously. This bloke is a disgrace.

Well they will have a whole year to plan their revenge and get Brown when he is out of contract.

The Saints were on a hiding to nothing as soon as he said he wanted to return home.... to a 2 team market .. and then nominated one team.
Low, I'd think. With Seaby and Spangher gone and Tippett a gamble, we'd be taking a serious risk to drop another big body, especially one who is contracted.

No one just was thrown up as speculation by a few, and people said Bulldogs were the winners of the trade, looks a little different now after the steal Hawks got
St Kilda list manager said a deal was very close to be done for Brown...shame
The eagles have been done over a few times in the last few years with players going home so I guess they got one back.

Whaaaaaat? But you had info that we were trading for Post. Karnezis for Post right?
Look forward to seeing what 'info' you have next year.
Haha, and we say it was never close. I think it'd be safe to assume the truth lies somewhere in-between those two extremes.
Saints essentially swapped Cripps for TDL in the last hour, a massive loss in anyone's books.
Obviously as St Kilda you are going to say it was close to being done just for the supporters sake. Otherwise you spend 2 weeks wasting your time on something that was never going to happen when you could have spent it trying to get a different key defender.
Can't wait for JK to give Raph or Gwilta towelling next year.
I'm a little disappointed at our trading, we had 3 big needs coming into this.
1. Key defender
2. Ruckman
3. Young key forward (mind you we didn't need this urgently, just over the next year or so)
We've covered two of these bases, but did so in losing both picks 12 and 13 (we did gain a few along the way though, and are left with 26 and 27 as our first two). I'd be a lot less disappointed if we managed to fill our biggest hole in a key back.
There's nothing that says a player like Hickey won't be just as good as pick 13. The difference is we've seen him at AFL level before and he is already part of the way along in development. I don't mind the strategy, but we really badly needed a key back.

Sherman quits Bulldogs, will nominate for PSD. Any takers...

Not a mod
"Mutual parting", actually
.I would say Brendan McCartney told him he isn't in our plans. He's not a fan of players like Sherman.
