Well that is a lesson for anyone who want's to pass on a trade whisper, on the trade whisper thread, don't, unless Stuie  thinks it is earth shattering

Did I tell you we're likely to get Hibberd?

Just hit 100 pages here. To celebrate I will paste the latest trade update for the Demons as per afl site

ASHLEY BROWNE: The Demons have been lurking quietly behind the scenes. Their best work came before the trade period started when they re-signed Jesse Hogan and reportedly they made a play for Hawthorn's Jordan Lewis. Gibbered is their main item of business, but it would not surprise if they stealthily made another move or two before 2pm next Thursday

Sounds like Gibberish to me.

Jack Steele officially a Saint.

 

They are saying it's for a future second rounder, which is about right for me.  When you consider we are trying to give up the same for Hibberd who has a proven track record of playing footy at it's highest level, I think it's looking like a good deal for us as well.

Yeah, both those values seem pretty fair. Would have to think the Hibberd delay is due to us having something specific in mind with this year's pick, whether it's a trade or a certain player. At first I thought it was more about spreading the incoming talent (2nd round this year, 1st round next year), but I'm not so sure now.

Yep.  Melbourne playing funny buggers on Hibberd when our second round pick would have got it done in the opening hour of trade week suggests more irons in the fire to me.

I agree Stuie, it looks like we are holding off not EFC. Hopefully we will be awe struck at Mahoney's brilliance and will need to erect a statue of him outside the G after our 4th straight premiership in 2021.

What, you don't give us a chance in 2017? ;)

With Lewis reportedly off the radar, are our sights sets maybe looking at bringing in Rockliff? I understand he has that toxicity nature surrounding him, but at the end of the day the question should be asked. Does he improve our chances of making finals next year? For me it's a yes.

Au contraire, it will take a year to erect the buttress.

How many big bodied grunt midfielders can one team have?

Agreed. Steele and Stevens don't dramatically improve the Saints at all despite some of the media swooning.

Rumour up here in Qld is that the Saints are trying to offload Armitage (Qlder) to Suns/Lions for a good pick so that might explain the strategy.

Lewis is reportedly off the radar according to the Hawks PR machine, I'd read nothing into that though. 

We were keen on having him, Lewis was obviously very keen to move. We've heard nothing from Lewis or his manager yet, I'd be keeping a close eye on it.

I think the saints are over estimating the quality of their youth. They look to be building a team that won't quite be good enough to take them all the way

we won't have given up on Lewis, i reckon the Hawks are just trying to get us to offer something they can use on O'meara

Yeah, just have a feeling Lewis will still get to us.

You know once you have made your mind up to leave , it's hard to go back.

Sam Mitchell basically traded for pick 88.

Wow.

 

Contracted legend of the club and current best and fairest gone for pick 88.

Just doesn't seem right and the way Hawks/Eagles have colluded is a little fishy.

Contract backended in coaching years to avoid player salary cap?

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
