Is this true??? :wacko:

Sydney are one team that I believe still make stupid decisions come trade week, but I guess you can't argue with the success they have had.

    Need to free up money, and i think the swans will get a good deal from the saints down the track as they have looked after the saints.

    Sydney's future is not looking very promising.

    They have blooded very few youth in the last three seasons and to loose young Dempster, their young brigade is looking pretty shakey.

    McVeigh could possibly be the only one under 22 regularly in the side?

    Bargain!

    Would have loved to get Schneider. Wonder why we didn't chase him?

    Hardly stupid decisions then. :blink:

    Sydney are playing for now. Roos has stated that they cannot afford to trough. In addition, they need to make the most of the moment while they have OLoughlin, Hall, Goodes, Kirk etc.

    Neither player mentioned is key 22 material at Sydney.

    Disagree RR

    2007: Schneider 21 games, ave disposals 15.3,

    Dempster 14, 11.2. (as a 3rd tall type defender)

    Both are 23 years old. If they're playing for now, what good is a late 2nd round pick compared to 2 players about to hit their prime with a few years under their belts and finals experience.

    Maybe Roos has worked out what you might have overlooked.

    St Kilda have not learnt their lessons on crocks. They have the most injury prone list in the comp and they recruit King and Schneider!!

    Schneider is reasonable, but no gamebreaker

    Dempster is just a dud

    This move was a financial one, nothing else. Sure it will help the saints short term, but who really cares? If CAC though they would help the club, he would have thrown his hat in the ring. He didnt, so i can live with that.

    Schneider and Dempster are both good players. The Saints have done very well.

  • Quote

    yeh dempster may prosper at the saints much in the same way malceski has at the swans... he will be given lots of chances to play off half back no doubt or tag... schneider is a great pick up as they aim to win a flag while riewoldt is in his peak... if they can finally get their injuries on track next year, they could be dangerous... a BIG IF BUT

    How do you know he wasn't at all interested?

    From the limited times I've seen Schneider, he's seemed alright.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
