EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
reckon they will next year in 2025 when is a RFA, hopefully he re-signs soon so there isn't year long speculation about his future, but if he was to go maybe we could get a band 1 comp pickSaints are clearly chasing a quality key defender and are willing to offer up life changing money
They should be coming for Balta, in a s**t side, playing forward, right to time to come for him

Giving me Hogg -> Fitzroy, Doug Hawkins -> Fitzroy and Mick McGuane -> Carlton vibes.Because he's been BOG 3 weeks in a row in their magoos yet they're not playing him the seniors obviously because their younger mids are doing so well now. I think they're sending him a message that's he's in their best 22 anymore.

Can see Balta being like Baker this year and Martin in 2017 and it being dragged out until late in the year, so that he knows exactly where the club is at and what the chances are of him tasting more success with us.reckon they will next year in 2025 when is a RFA, hopefully he re-signs soon so there isn't year long speculation about his future, but if he was to go maybe we could get a band 1 comp pick
I completely agree with you. McCartin was seen as the number 1 tall forward who was also a unit. They had Riewoldt about to retire and needed a tall to take over that spot. Essentially they were where we are now with Lynch but they also had a few more years and Josh Bruce. Just looked at their list and it is real easy to see why they picked McCartin over Petracca.Questioning the recruitment of players isn't as simple as looking at who went before who. You need to take into account list needs as well as injuries that may have cruelled a players career once drafted.
He’s FA next year and I’m tipping he ll attract a ton of interest, I’m hoping we re sign him, at worst it would 100% be r1 compo . We wouldnt trade him this year , there’s plenty we’d consider before himSaints are clearly chasing a quality key defender and are willing to offer up life changing money

We’d certainly be in a position to offer at worst market rate , likely a very lucrative long term deal , we ll seeCan see Balta being like Baker this year and Martin in 2017 and it being dragged out until late in the year, so that he knows exactly where the club is at and what the chances are of him tasting more success with us.
These guys cost us $750k each a year. To get anyone as good now we would be paying $1M. We will look back on these guys and see them as bargains. The only negative was that GWS needed to move them out and probably we could have saved our future first if we had played hard ball.I know that I was referring to both of them staying on the park at the same time which has rarely happened due to hopper's constant injuries.
My sincerest apologises, my supreme overlord. I’ll rescind my thoughts.Congratulations you have the record

Call that BS He is coming back for the forward line as like for like replacement for JR These rumors remind me of the dog being accused of chasing people on a bike! The poor dog doesn't even have one.Is the rumour true that Clinton King is coming out of retirement to help our midfield?

To be honest if Baker chooses WCE and they won't give up a R1 pick, I'd be happy to get Chesser as part of a package.
My preference is for a first round pick as well, don't care which club he goes to. I have liked Chesser since his draft year and he would be yet another 2021 kid that we could add to the list and he would be able to step in from the start of 2025.They will need to find a first they are willing to give up for Baker. End of. Split their current first or whatever. But I want more than a first too. Lachie Schulz is the minimum we get. First this year and a second next year is my preference. We might throw a late pick back at them.
WCE: Liam Baker and a fourth round pick
Richmond: First Round Pick, Second Round Pick next year and Fifth Round Pick next year.
Get a second for Jack Graham free agency.
We have a very good draft hand to build for the next two years as we can move up this year and bank some trades to move picks to next year.
We are in a good position. Fremantle would be my preference for Baker but I too am hearing he wants WCE even though Fremantle have already declared their hand for him with an offer.
WA media are already talking up walking Baker to the preseason draft.
Clubs generally don’t do that, and pretty sure it won’t happen, but you never know if it goes down to the wire during trade period.
