I don't know how the Saints will get all these players, Hill for 6  is easy but then Howard, Jones, Ryder and Butler maybe, when their next pick is 59.

I suppose the picks for Bruce and Steven could get Jones and Howard and Ryder could be 59 and Butler could be a 2020 pick, so I guess I answered my own question.

If they get all these players and then Ben King next year, they will be very dangerous.

Carlton will also be a big improver if they add Papley, Martin and Betts/Butler, with their host of talented youngsters.

I hit the 'like' button, but I don't like it at all.

I agree, however.

Gubby has gone all out attack

I doubt they will get all 5 players on the books, something will break

 


They're going very aggressive which may bite them. Think they are still a fair way off and would be better served to continue topping up and focus on Ben King next season. Still pick up a few through trade but 5  when you have little to give

They need to get on with the Bruce and Steven deals for starters. They’ve bitten off far more than they can chew I reckon.

Exactly. It's not just the ones they need to bring in by dealing with multiple clubs they have to unload a few to other clubs too. 

It's going to be a busy few days for them. 


This reeks of desperation from Ratten. He knows this is his last gig at it. Get it right or he's gone.

It’s not really the Josh Mahoney style (months of legwork is usually involved in our trades), but I’d be wondering what pick 26 or the next year second rounder we got from Hawthorn might shake loose. With all that still to do, you’d think they’d be interested. You would also think they’ll be tight on list space with 2 players being traded out and 5 in.

No, this has Gubby all over it...

He's been brought in to shake up the list and he's doing it.

Whether it's successful or not time will tell.

Absolutely. Good luck to him because they have been directionless for a while.. And Ben King's Dad Brook is a massive Saints fan. I would think  they're in the box seat to get him next year.

Gubby without a shadow of a doubt.

He would have been onto GWS in the background with Freo playing hardball (stupidball?), waiting with an itchy trigger finger, so he can prove he doesn’t bluff.

It’s all about Gubby for Gubby, doesn’t care which players get burnt in the process of stroking his ego.

Next time around he gets to look like a master negotiator because he’s used St Kilda to establish a reputation that he doesn’t bluff, with little care for how it impacts St Kilda.

Maybe there’s something in it? Short term pain, but long term gain? I prefer the Mahoney method.

Gubby is going to have produce what would be the crowning achievement upon his oeuvre, to satisfy the Suns with the pocket fluff he has at his disposal.

 

The Saints have to play hard ball re: Hill because they can’t give up 2 first round picks (even though they’ve shot themselves in the foot with their contract offer). They’re going to need the 2020 first round and 2021 first round pick to get King from the Suns next year. They can’t keep Bruce this year because they can’t offer him more than 1 year because King will be taking his position in 2021.

They haven't landed any yet Red - and Im not sure they'll get any the way the trade period is working out.

It's all good and well to chase players but to land them is a completely different thing. I know we all love the media hype and the rumours are fun but chasing contracted players is extremely risky (Just look at the Swans)

As much as he's copped a lot of flak (not attacking your Red just some generally commentary) Mahoney and Co have done well at landing players. The "price" aspect i think is overrated because you don't know what your going to get and how long it's going to take to develop draft picks

I am looking forward to seeing what we do with Pick 3. Would love 2 top 10 picks or a later top 10 and a ready to go player, but that might be wishful thinking more than reality

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
