To be fair it’s the most likely scenario. Pay rise incoming for Wilkie.
If nothing else, we make the Saints pay a bit extra to keep and existing player.
I don't mind it. As long as we get a decent KPD this trade period.
 
A little.

Don’t hate Freijah, but concerned with how he handles himself when the pressure is dialled right up in games. Reminds me of Lipinksi. Would need to toughen up considerably if he’s to play as amid long term.

Wouldn’t trust trade for the sake of it, but would happily include in trade for Wilkie.
Might be wise to let the kid turn 20 and get into his 3rd season before we give up on his abilities under pressure.

You mean like when the pressure was dialled right up in the Sydney game when we almost lost to a bottom 8 side and he kicked 4 goals in a quarter?

I’m talking pressure around the contest. Get it out in space, he’s fine. Turtle necks when a player closes in.

The Saints don't necessarily have to even do that. But a story like this probably doesn't come out of nowhere - it does reek a little of his manager playing games, which at the very least would show a certain level of discontent amongst some in the playing group with the recent list management strategy..
 
Has anybody ever seen Sam Power and Scrag City in the same room?

Because the timing and the numbers connected to this play for Wilkie isn't even trying to hide its mega troll energy.

Its so outlandishly absurd that one can only laugh at its audacity.

I hear news. I still laughing.

Every since Scrag account got deactivate
Power been hunting for top talent and signing our stars

Now look
I ain't saying what I'm saying
But it's pretty clear
 
I don't see Khamis being involved in a Wilkie trade, if he were to leave the only club in the conversation at the moment is Carlton.
You'd think a first rounder and Treloar gets it done with the customary shuffling of later picks.

Sounds like the sort of shit people say about Daicos. There’s nothing wrong with a player playing by to their strengths, not everyone has to be recklessly throwing their body over the ball.
 
I know everyone thinks Wilkie is worth a lot more than I do. I just cannot fathom how we get pick 17 for Bailey Smith at 23 and we should give up lot more for a 30 yo defender. I know one was OOC and the other in, but makes no sense to me. If we need to give up what posters are suggesting I hope the deal does not get done.

Treloar is out of contract though isn't he? He would be a free agent if he doesn't sign a new contract, thus can walk anywhere he wishes.

Treloar isn't a free agent. Age isn't the determinant, years of service at the club is. He's been with us since 2021 so is a few years off qualifying.

He would need to go into the open draft if he didnt sign a contract.

Thats odd. I always thought it was number of years in the league. Not that it resets every new club you join.
 
LOL saw this on twitter since when does a player agent needs a clubs consent to shop their player around

Saints are going to be putting a target on their backs now after this spending spree.

Darcy Wilson out of contract end of next year will get some big offers (hopefully by us).

Wilkie an obvious one they need to look after and give a pay rise too now that they have brought Aleer and JSOS in on more money than him.

There's no way they can pay everyone on these big deals, someone is bound to get pushed out.

I will be sick if we do not keep Treloar on our list. He has bled red white and blue since coming over and loves our club to death, it would be an incredibly huge dishonour and disrespect towards him if we toss him out like Collingwood did.

I am so against it I cannot even put it into words.
And that (while decent and morally absolutely correct) is the difference between us and the rest!
It’s become a pretty ruthless business where there’s no room for rewarding loyalty.. Not in the race to succeed at any cost anyhow!
I’d love some immediate, long term success, but I’d rather not sell my soul to get there..
 
We won't get him. We are just testing the waters/asking the question. Hasn't stopped Saints fans from having a melt though. If the Saints value him enough, there is no reason they cannot offer him a better deal, or they can just simply hold him to his contract.

They are already going back to their few times failed plan of overpaying for injury prone players. If they let their stars go as well, then they are not serious about success. TDK is a downgrade on Marshall. Silvagni is a downgrade on Wilkie. I'd be keeping both if I was them.
 
Let’s hope that this is actually something that has been a focus weeks ago, rather than just something we are doing now that JSOS is unavailable.

If it’s the latter, it will fail.
