Saints offering Flanders 5 x 900k according to Twomey

Interesting they have so much money to splash.
NWM - 2 mil a season
TDK - 1.6-1.7 mil a season
Silvagni - 8-850k a year
Aleer - 7-800k a year
Ryan - 6-700k a year

Add to that macare who is on around 800k a year from our contract for him.
Sinclair would be on decent coin.

Now Flanders on 900k a year.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Surely we can nab one of Suns early picks. They will have an influx if they get an early one for Flanders as well.

 

[Doggy]

Pick 7 for Flanders is funny

 

[Foxman98]

I disagree he was the best performing of our talls, because it was noticeable how his lack of speed and ability to defend space got exposed as they went on a run - he was ineffective in blocking space that forced their ball entry to be weaker. He was slow to react and when he did react he didn't have the legspeed. This allowed opponents to get free and have space in dangerous areas.

There's more to defensive work than just one on ones.

Answer me this: other than a simple "Bevo was wrong and he can't coach" answer, do you have an tactical or strategic explanation as to why Buss was subbed off, if he was playing so well? There has to be one.

How can you disagree with facts? Voss was doing nothing Amiss and Tracey were killing us?

Bevo subbed him for more run and decided he was the easier of the 3 to lose

Why did he decide he was the easier of the three to lose?

Saints offering Flanders 5 x 900k according to Twomey

Again well ahead of others. $750k (roughly) more then what Melbourne are offering.

Edit: total over 5 years.

and Tom Mitchell to look elsewhere. Doubt either would get picked up, maybe Saints.

 

[Mr. Walker]

But the saints have instead frontloaded ALL contracts for the last 3 years so the rest of their players are on sweet **** all for the last few years of their contracts. They need to spend all this money or they don’t break the cap floor.

I have no evidence for my theory but is this why so many players now seem keen to sign long term deals? Sign a six year deal for $1.2 mill for the first three years then $800k for the last three. Say you want out after three years and go somewhere else on a six year deal for$1.2 million for the first three years and $800k for the last three. Rinse and repeat. Are there any rules against this?

Literally outbidding everyone by a fair margin on multiple players lol..

It's why Freo fans were so upset about the Lobb situation.

Don't be silly the media is continuing to inflate all their figures

Everyone "wants to keep the Saints down ". That's a good one i have heard. How relevant do you think they are

 

[Doggy]

It's part of why saints supporters are upset about us going after Wilkie ... despite not going to get him

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Pick 7 for Flanders is funny

Be even funnier if we can get it for Marra plus points, and then give it back to them for Wilkie

 

[Bulldogs85]

I have a mate that follows the saints and he is pissed off that we have are going after Wilkie when he is contracted. I just tell him he can’t get upset since they are going after Flanders and Liam Ryan who by the way are both contracted players

That seems to be their mentality.

I would be fine with them having success especially over all of those that made the 8 this year.

But their supporters are entitled pricks. Lack of success has gone to their heads

Surely it had to end with a Wilkie pay rise or trade request

 

[Anja_Nees]

If we ended up with two picks in the first round, even if our draft hand otherwise got slammed, it would be a win.

We have plenty of ok players. Star quality is almost exclusively at the top end and we need more of that.

 

[Doggy]

Saints supporters going with Essendon offering more haha... sure

 

[Bulldogs85]

Tom Morris said on Sen breakfast that Wilkie is lucky to stay and he won’t push for a trade

 

[Bulldogs85]

They are dreaming nothing about Essendon offering more

 

[Anja_Nees]

Collingwood have told Mason Cox and Tom Mitchell to look elsewhere. Doubt either would get picked up, maybe Saints.

There was a point I would have considered Cox, just because he’s actually a pretty competent ruckman and would be a good relief option when Tim’s getting murdered, and is a forward target.

But he’s pretty useless to us at this stage. Looks cooked.

 

[MaxiBont]

I still have hope

Gardner been given the flick yet?

Are you Brad Hill?

I just hope we have a back up pain maybe Wilkie won’t push for a Trade because Saints won’t allow it.
