He wasn't delisted.
I'm going back a fair way.
He laughs when he hears people say a player's childhood team has any bearing on a player's decision making.

I'd say playing for the club you followed when you grew up would be more important than "playing on the G" every week. I thought we were just making pointless arguments about which club he'd choose
And I'm saying who you supported as a kid means zero. Given a choice, playing at the 'G versus Etihad is obvious I would have thought.
It's fine that you disagree.
I've been a Dee since I was a toddler. Long story.
My Brother could have captained Hawthorn and it wouldn't have mattered one iota. Don Scott wanted him as fellow Board member during the coup that never eventuated against Dicker about 15 years ago.
But I barrack for Melbourne. I have zero interest in Hawthorn and have no second team. They're one of my least favoured teams.
Obviously he'd choose the Saints,
all his mates are at the Swans so he's not leaving to find more mates at the Dees, he'll find them wherever he goes.

And playing in full houses at the 'G several times a year trumps that
I still don't think he will leave Sydney FWIW
Loves his brother, doesn't need to spend every living second with him to assert his unequivocal love.
You've always had a 'good list' according to deluded Dees fans, unfortunately the rest doesn't work out so well.
Logic says given a choice he'd chose to play with his Brother, who also happens to captain the club. Since he was a teenager he's looked up to his Brother.
I accept you don't do logic.
His brother isn't the be all and end all. There's more to life than that.
I appreciate the Dees have a strong case. But I think the Saints will have them covered in most areas.

He'll come to Melbourne to play with his brother, provided the money is right. Opportunities will be similar at all four clubs - but money will ultimately decide it. Maybe he takes a touch less to play with Nathan, but it'd have to be minuscule you'd think.

What areas would those be?
More immediate inside midfield time? That's all I can think of.
Wouldn't pretend to know a great deal about the pair of them, but one thing clear is that they're very close.
They are not only brothers but best mates. Friends will come and go in life, family wont. If he comes back to Melbourne then it will be at the Dees.
If you think he's going to choose the saints over family because he 'barracked' for them then your delusional.
Never said that
Money potentially
Saints have Melbourne covered in what ? Playing at the 'G ?
I'm not fussed about Zak anyway, mate. If he stays or goes to another Victorian club I really don't care. He's an OK player, but a bit overrated for mine.
Love it how the minor leagues are all into these potential trades at round 9. Then comes the end of the season and bang! Out come the big boys.....

Hahaha who cares that you play at the MCG? You're still a small clubSaints have Melbourne covered in what ? Playing at the 'G ?

And this is coming from a St Kilda support
We might be a "small" club, but we play at the MCG. Every Victorian footballer growing up dreams of playing at the MCG. Are you from Zimbabwe ?
And don't criticize my club, you swine. We wrote the rules of the game, we're the first Australian Rules club in Australia, we're the oldest club in the world playing at the highest level, we're the pioneer of women's footy, and we're the reason there's a Father/Son rule (Barassi). Actually, forget the last bit, I don't think you've had any

Lol I didn't say St Kilda is a big club, I realise that they and Melbourne are both small clubs because I live in reality. Who has joined your list because they "get to play at the G"?And this is coming from a St Kilda support
Vince, Tyson, Frost, Bugg, Hibberd, Melksham, Garlett.
