I can't think of any that got Combine invites. Ben Sokol might suit if we want another mature goal kicking forward this year.Any state league CHBs/FBs worth a crack at getting? Still think we can sway a contracted player at another club with $$s and contractual years. HUGE trade period coming up for us and we need to make the most of it. Need a lock down KPP and also an intecepting mark type of CHB (ala Prime Wood). Keath fits the interceptor but that real lock down type of back where you can chuck him on a #1 fwd is a gaping hole. Cant do another year of Cordy taking the best back (not his fault hes not suited to it)
We are going to be quiet this trade period. Josh bruce at best.
Yep... you know the go though, woe is usExcellent. Isn’t that the exact opposite of what the club has said?

He was that lockdown type in the few AFL games he played, he’s not as big as Kurt but a good size. Usually found himself defending the second ruck when teams used to do that. Don’t watch VFL so not sure if that’s changed in the four years out of the system.
Turns 31 next month and can’t see him getting a third chance at an AFL club
Still not 100% sure why we’re so into Bruce - does Bevo not rate Schache, do we want three talls forward or do we want one of him and Naughton back? If so, why Keath too?
I like Bruce and Keath so I’m not down on it but it’ll be interesting to see how we line up.
With Libba, Wallis and Daniel back in the fold and West etc coming in I’m not interested in other teams’ fringe players so if the above is the focus and nothing more that suits me fine.
Was my coach at school so I have had some interest in his career. Decent enough at VFL level to warrant his standing as one of the better defenders, but he was lucky to survive in the AFL system as long as he did and essentially did it off pure athleticism (was recruited from basketball and had never played a game of footy prior to his draft year).Seen a couple of Willy games , suited to VFL , miles off AFL standard , surprised he survived so long in the system.
Roberts is a far better footballer.
Saints fans are hilarious in the Bruce trade thread. All neutral sources I.e. media are saying 2nd Rounder and they are adamant it has to be a 1st. None of us know for sure what it will be!! Until it's done how long till trade period now??Excellent. Isn’t that the exact opposite of what the club has said?
Let’s be honest none of us having any idea what the club will do.
Did you even hear the interview that these 'comments' are taken from?It's no rumour look up his comments on us immediately prior to him being drafted.
Even setting aside that would not touch Moore. Walking injury. Why buy other clubs problems? Let the Pies pay Moore and Elliott a million year for SFA output.
11 days to go until trade week begins..
Wonder how many players we'll be linked too by those with inside sauce
Anyone got the inside word on any delisting?

Yet if the pies didn't match he would more then likely be a premiership player now.It's no rumour look up his comments on us immediately prior to him being drafted.

Thought he was off to Carlton?Dan butler plz
How did Roarke get to be a free agent? Don't you need 7 years?Only Lukas Webb, Buku Khamis and Ryan Gardner can be delisted
As Roarke and Roberts are unrestrictive free agents
I guess he was technically delisted before we re-rookied him so he qualifies as a FA for life.How did Roarke get to be a free agent? Don't you need 7 years?
Yeah he showed some ok form in some games but if he isn’t in the mix every week at this stage then he will never be.Roarke gotta go. Just not AFL standard
Had that one game where he was among our best 5-10 players, but one good game in a year simply isn't enough. We have too many vying for a position in the midfield/halfback, and have better prospects for a wing spot currently developing in the VFL. This is one where I feel for him, but I really don't see how he remains next year. At the very least, I imagine Roarke goes and Webb takes his rookie spot if we want to minimise the number of actual personnel changesYeah he showed some ok form in some games but if he isn’t in the mix every week at this stage then he will never be.
In my opinion it has to be a 2nd rounder Bruce is a good player but differently not worth a First RounderSaints fans are hilarious in the Bruce trade thread. All neutral sources I.e. media are saying 2nd Rounder and they are adamant it has to be a 1st. None of us know for sure what it will be!! Until it's done how long till trade period now??
