Wolkoe negotiationing with saints . The longer it goes the better our chances of him saying f%ck it i am out.

I mean for more money I at saints ob piously.

Let’s talk more about this…

I can't divulge but its is absolute 100% direct info. No middle man. Not saying he is coming but not agreed new $$ with saints yet and may not either. The longer it goes the better for us

It does sound like he’s disgruntled by the money going to others. It’s gong to need him to kick up a fuss to get traded though which I just can’t see happening.
We can’t lose Butts to North either.

 

[MrChristo]

Not true. I had it 100% from the horses mouth literally

The fact that we waited for the Saints to hand out those insane contracts then went after Wilkie was a very calculated play. We make that move during the season and (a) Wilkie doesn’t know that they’re going to offer Silvagni & Aleer higher salaries than him and (b) the Saints have months to try and sort it through with him, rather than scrambling over a few weeks.

Wilkie is aiming as high as we can. You have to roll the arm over.

Butts is the one that if he’s keen on a move we have to make happen. He will shift O’Donnell away from FB and I think he’ll flourish.

Still need a small/medium defender, though. Hoping there’s one to be shaken loose over the next few weeks.

Would have to be one of the most illogical strategies I’ve ever seen sign star player to short term contract guarantee success or they can move despite having a few decent young players but still needing lots of improvement to then go and pay C and B grade players more then your few A graders and then seem surprised when they’re not happy

Bobby Hill? Not sure what the issues are though. Might be our chance to pry out a disgruntled player for unders...

That would be a real pain in the ass

They have mostly neglected their bookends over midfielders, but would get a sharper rise if they can get a quality KPD in. They still won’t do too much, but surely we’d have to be in front

Hes either playing for a team in Perth or retiring and moving back to Perth

Interesting when you look at the profiles of the KPDs we are looking at / most are below average in most categories with any Elite traits/ looks bad when compared to Gardner?

Gambling, drinking, family issues.

(Is what I was told - if this isn’t within the forum rules got no problem deleting).

Given Gardner was VFL team of the year full back and players like Buss and Jones when fit were at least that fit

IIRC he and his partner have ended things and she's moved back to Perth with their kids, so I imagine he really wants to be in Perth.

 

[bresker]

Smiley boy had the info earlier in the year, its Perth or nothing for Hill. He's not in a good way .

 

[Mofra]

C4 said a few months ago Archie Perkins was looking at moving. He’s really quick and athletic, and hits the scoreboard, if he were happy to play a Vandermeer/McNeil role he’d be a huge upgrade on them.

The irony of getting a guy Essendon used a first round pick on after refusing to trade that pick for Dunkley.

Perkins is lazy and soft.

 

[4Seasons]

If all of Butters, Wilkie, and Butts are gettable this year then we'd have to have a high value player of our own involved in it (as well as lots of picks). Would people consider Sanders or Freijah (or other) in this scenario? I might if it meant landing all three.

I doubt anyone would want Sanders because of Tasmania

That’s the Essendon

 

[Sentinel]

I wouldnt be against rookie-ing Scott for another year.

Just feed on that Essendon carcass. Pick it apart.

 

[doggie dog]

WHAT THE ****

Dale being 30 next year is diabolical

He’s the youngest looking 29 year old IN THE HISTORY OF THE PLANET

I thought he was like 26 at most FFS

You should of see him when he 1st got drafted.
School kids face

. Beveridge had a casual chat with a couple ex-demon people about him and after those brief chats decided it wasn't a move the club should pursue.

 

[Sid Nullis]

Don’t know a lot about BillyCrofts but he played a cracking game today. Looks like he could jump straight onto a senior list.
