Jonathan Patton

Re: Jonathan Patton

I get the feeling that when Buddy signs over to GWS, Patton's name will be up in lights for quite a number of clubs.

Carlton,
StKilda,
Freo,
WB's,
Hawthorn
Adelaide
Brisbane

Off the top of my head would all be interested in a big key forward.

StKilda, Carlton, and Freo could all do a better deal than us if they wanted to,
Hawthorn also has options to trade if they wanted, and no one would question Clarko right now.

Freo has been after another key forward for a while, they had a crack at Cloke and might get desperate after a GF loss.

Patton will most likely want to come back to Melbourne, let's hope that's with us.

GWS have officially withdrawn offer. Publicly.

I think this has surprised even GWS tbh. They've jumped the gun out of anger with him i rekon. Major major shock. THink there will be a bit of uproar from hawthorn supporters and non-sydney fans alike

Re: Jonathan Patton

Well if we still want this to happen we have to make them an offer they can't refuse. I was super excited about this possible trade. Sydney have ruined my day.

What could be the best offer we can make.

Yep, would involve a Jones or Talia.

Re: Jonathan Patton

Probably going to be a lot less trading now that GWS didn't get their man.

They will keep pick 1, and will keep Patton, unless someone offers the kitchen sink for him.

Who out of Jones or Talia would you trade away BT.

Probably a lot more trading now that GWS has a tonne of money freed up to spend. Instead of Buddy, they now probably have a hit list of 4-5 very good players to fill the good and improve their list.

True but the carrot of a Boyd or a Patton for other clubs is no longer there.

It's only GWS that are looking for established players and no one really wants to entertain them if Boyd and Patton aren't available.

Obviously our pick 4 and either Wood/Higgins/Talia/Smith/Wallis.

I'm just throwing names up, but if we want to entice them to trade him it would have to be something they really need. How desperate are we for a gorilla forward? No pain no gain I say. You can see what Sydney are willing to pay for Buddy. They are willing to sacrifice a lot of their salary cap on one player (even though they have the extra cola), it could be madness or genius. Patton is no Buddy but he could be.

Re: Jonathan Patton

Ox just made mention on SEN that Patton was down at the club taking a tour. This could have been from last week however so could all be for nothing now with Franklin not going to GWS....Still, might have meant we were a real shot if Buddy headed to GWS

Unless there are attitude problems or serious homesickness, I can't see why they would shop him now unless they really, really want Scharenberg or Bontempelli. Bloody Buddy.

Re: Jonathan Patton

Well twitter has decided the Ox is a good enough source to start the 'Patton for Pick 4' rumour.

Our Lindsay Gilbee has tweeted support for it.

Not entirely true. He said listeners had been texting in saying Patton had been at the club. Big difference.

Re: Jonathan Patton

Twitter now saying Ox just said he was at St Kilda TODAY.

I thought it was reported he was in the states???

Silly season
