Longer

Steven
Newnes
Acres

 

[sammm]

Armo
Pierce
Longer
White
Rice
Rowe
Mayo
Steven
Newnes

Paddy & Robbo are both contracted and wont retire with money on the table. Neither will play again but we'll need to accomodate them until they expire.

I reckon White and Pierces spot on the list will be determined by what happens with FA's or DFA's....they probably offer more than Pick 90 might, but you never know who might be available.

I would rather pick 90

 

[BigMonty]

Have been an Acres Newnes Sinclair fan. But they do not give us enough regularly. Time to move them on. Hopefully they become add ons to deals to get new players in like Hill.

We need some players with class disposal after watching the Swans game...it was diplorable even the commentators said so. So Hill is a yes exactly what we need Crouch less so but gees he gets the ball a lot.

I would go hard for Patty Ryder and with a fit King may mean Josh Bruce is on the table....which is sad but inevitable.

The conundrum is Carlisle if Ben King comes home from GCS then maybe we move him on and keep Bruce.

Hope we keep Stuv. Can see why we recruited Hannas good things happen when he gets the ball. That's why I can see Carlisle going good things do not always happen when he had the ball in his hands. This needs to be a not negotiable next year.

The rot that we put up against the Swans at times both the field kicking and goal kicking is what must be removed from our game if we are ever going to get into the top half of the ladder. That's it simple harsh but true.

JACK DYER SAID BAD KICKING IS BAD FOOTBALL.

So start removing players who cannot kick with players that can. Includes Dunstan if we can grab Crouch. Least Dunstan gives a shit and should be the least likely to be traded unless we get Crouch.

Trade period will be fascinating and we need to be ruthless and Satan is one ruthless son of a bitch.

Tough love is required we have been too nice for too long to this player list.

Oh I have been a fully paid member for 35 years and have no intention of giving up on my club.

 

[PandaG]

He could be one if were targeting King this year. Carlisle the other and possibly Ross is the word at the moment. None of which will be going unless they attract a more needed player/pick.

Would happily trade Ross..his foot skills are deplorable

 

[PandaG]

You’d hope his manager is saying that before the season is over. Probably does stay, because no ones giving anything decent for him now.

I’d make Steele captain personally and Billings vice. Two that can be relied on both the track and field.

Agree Steele cap ASAP

What about Members?
He’d be worth more than either of them.

I wouldn't be unhappy with Ross going but it would have to be for a pick 10-20. I think the offer would be a pick 20-30 and in that case we keep him.

 

[St Neil]

Keep the following;
Battle
Billings
Bruce
Bytel
Clark
Coffield
Geary
Gresham
Hannebery
Hind
King
Marshall
Membrey
Parker
Steele
Wilkie

As far as I’m concerned the rest are up for grabs.

 

[jwikked]

Call me crazy but I feel like Steven might hang around.

 

[Brains Trust66]

Geary
Gresham
Hannebery
Hind
King
Marshall
Membrey
Parker
Steele
Wilkie

Just out of interest , what has Bytel done so far that makes you want to keep him over Webster , Dunstan , Savage , Ross , Lonie , Kent , Paton , and Clavarino ?

 

[triggering bro]

Call me crazy but I feel like Steven might hang around.

Only if he’s unwanted by the Cats which after his last two games is a possibility IMO.

 

[SaintersUnite]

Retire: Rowe, Longer, McCartin, Roberton, Armitage

Delist: Rice, Pierce

Trade: Steven, Acres

Free Agency: Newnes

Leaves 10 spots, but since Rowe doesn’t count that leaves 9. Mayo can get a contract so that brings it to 8 I believe.
Hill, Constable and Tomlinson, plus 5 draftees.

 

[prophetic1]

MR. RATTEN doesnt earn the hope I want to have for next year. That future investment of hope diminishes exponentially each year thereafter. Imagine five years hence, considering the gloom that is prevalent now........... Death by Asphyxiation. The last breath that the SAINTS might hope to have. One asks who goes? Start with ending any affiliation to or connection with, a relatively short period of failure. LETS NOT TURN 7 - 8 YEARS INTO 20 YEARS.

I just want to see him play. Never make a final judgment until you see him play.

You could argue the same for Clavarino as well.

 

[Impatient Saint]

Agree Steele cap ASAP

My vote for captain would be Hannebrey now his body is reliable again!

Did I just have a stroke?

Your sentences are structurally unsound.

Yep agree. If he was involved in a trade to get a true A grade to elite mid, that’s really the only way I’d be happy. It’s certainly something that has been floated though. How to get more talent into the list quicker than drafting.

 

[Mikka84]

What about Members?
He’d be worth more than either of them.

He’s an interesting one.. definitely holds value. What if he was involved in a trade with Bing? As I see it, GC would want one of Bruce or Membrey involved.

 

[BrutThough]

Trading Membrey is not the answer if we actually want to improve. How do we replace 44 goals (7th in the comp) next season if we traded him out?

 

[CaptainRisky]

Jake can move on , doesnt set a good example with his sooking , not to mention he moves like me

 

[Mikka84]

By bringing in someone who can create more.. I agree he’s 99% not going anywhere, but we’ve gotten ourselves into a situation where the list is clogged. It’s going to take time to reset. What we have to assess is those that won’t be there for the next tilt.

Behind the scenes it isn’t pretty. Second year in a row bottom 6 and 8th year in a row no finals. There will be a clean out and a surprise or two if the right deal comes along.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Retire: Armitage, Longer, Rowe
Delist: Pierce, Rice
Unknown: Roberton, McCartin
Free Agency: Newnes

Trade Bait: Everybody else

 

[Keg on legs]

Easier to write a keep list

Roma
Billings
Clark
Coffield
Wilkie
King
Gresh
Battle
Hanners
Bytel
Membrey
Geary
Parker
Bruce
Hind



As far as I'm concerned everyone else is available.

Fact is those 15 form a very strong core group to build a premiership list around. We just need to keep adding elite talent and accept we might be still have to maintain patience. We are still probably 3 years off coz many are still young

 

[sunny3193]

Yes, based on the coach’s presser there’s more to play out here.
It would be ironic if the team’s best goal scorer is traded because of a costly brain fade against Carlton.
