Roughead, a free agent, is also of interest to the Saints, who are clearly looking at a major ruck shakeup ... @7NewsMelbourne

Just because Stevens reports doesn't have it pass the test of a logical choice for St Kilda. Although being St Kilda, logic may not be something they understand.

Would we trade Bont or Macrae for Shiel?

No. And a few more words because woof tells me saying "no" isn't enough words.

Unless Bont wanted to go, I wouldn't ever trade him.

Um... I think he means the idea of trading a pick 4-6 recruit, as opposed to our guys. But I see where you are coming from.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Well........................ I'm probably way out on my own here. But I don't like Shiel.

I do not like him here or there.

I do not like his face or hair.

I will not will not give pick five

We need a man who looks alive.

(apologies to Dr Suess)


That's right, I Don't like his haircut.
I don't like the cut of his jib.
Great player, but no joy there for me.
He's like a stormtrooper. A robot off an assembly line
Too perfectly groomed.
Emotionless.
If there was a a movie about him, Schwarzenegger would fail the audition for not being wooden enough to truly represent the character.


So..............

Keep pick 5 and use it on a 'cleanskin'.

Shiel is the antithesis of Bob. And Bob is 100% bulldog perfection.

Anyone with me?

Oh ok I get it. It's a bit of a false statement though. Would I trade Tim Walsh or Jake Stringer for Shiel?

Yep on the phrasing. You’d need UFU sign off on a Walsh trade under the EBA. Have you got that kind of pull? If so, let’s get do it. I think I can Peter Street done for Lobbe if we are keen.

You would be like Shiel if you played for GWS

AFL trade whispers, news: West Coast interested in Aaron Sandilands, Gold Coast eyes Cat

West Coast interested in Aaron Sandilands and St Kilda have reportedly offered Lycett a 5 year $700k deal. There may be some interest in Roughy but I doubt he will be in high demand.

I suspect the earlier claim of a generous contract tabled by West Coast to Roughy is unlikely to be true and hasn't been reported anywhere as far as I can tell.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

5 years @ 700k for Lycett?

The world has gone mad.

Their rucks are shit and there is nobody else on their list worth paying. I can understand it.

Love the idea of getting Shiel. Doubt it will happen - but very happy to hand over whatever is required. He is a jet.

In the back of my mind (extreme wishful thinking)....Josh Kelly and Bont are great mates...Kelly renewed for 2 years at the end of last year instead of taking the long term Kangas deal, because he and the Bont have it all worked out. They're going to wait until that Tom Boyd money drops off - and then we'll have room to sign up Kelly and Bont to long term deals and be unstoppable!

That's definitely going to happen.

No point paying a mediocre bloke 700K because the rest of your list is shit.

By all means I hope they do it because it ensures they push themselves further away.
