Yeah theyll want Laird......Can St Kilda throw some of that LDU Callaghan money at Laird? I'd be sending Laird with whatever other picks the Saints want for NWM
They already struck out with Brad Crouch. Not sure they coming back for seconds.Can St Kilda throw some of that LDU Callaghan money at Laird? I'd be sending Laird with whatever other picks the Saints want for NWM

Turns 30 this year. Not like hes 26.Interesting that in ROBs FA year we have made a 2 year offer.
It sounds like a FO we dont rate youInteresting that in ROBs FA year we have made a 2 year offer.
I don't think so. ROB has showed signs of slowing down last 12 months, no guarantee he's AFL standard fitness wise in 2 years time.It sounds like a FO we dont rate you
I mean its hard to assess but any FA would get more than 2 I would think - which keeps Draper still in the mix
Its still a 3 year extension for a FA usually - doesnt matter what age. Managers will squeeze an extra year for anyoneI don't think so. ROB has showed signs of slowing down last 12 months, no guarantee he's AFL standard fitness wise in 2 years time.
I'm comfortable with 2 if it means he leaves.Its still a 3 year extension for a FA usually - doesnt matter what age. Managers will squeeze an extra year for anyone
More concerning we are offering the bloke 2 years before a games been played. This bloke we dropped last year and hasn’t finished top 10 in our B&F for last 3 years.Interesting that in ROBs FA year we have made a 2 year offer.
2 year offer though...Turns 30 this year. Not like hes 26.
You do realise that a player is a FA every time they come out of contract, after they initially qualify for free agency?Its still a 3 year extension for a FA usually - doesnt matter what age. Managers will squeeze an extra year for anyone
Not his first FA year...Interesting that in ROBs FA year we have made a 2 year offer.
So what? ROB turns 30 in August. It's not like he's a 26yo becoming a FA for the first time.2 year offer though...
Cupboard is bare and we've apparently missed another target (Draper) we were angling for.More concerning we are offering the bloke 2 years before a games been played. This bloke we dropped last year and hasn’t finished top 10 in our B&F for last 3 years.
Still shocked we didn’t trade back into last years’ draft to get Dodson. Went at pick 53 in the end so wouldn’t have cost much. Yes we would have had to dump someone to do it (mainly due to our own poor list management) but was surely worth it given the positional need.Cupboard is bare and we've apparently missed another target (Draper) we were angling for.
So we'll go back to ROB because while he's not great, he's not a league worse ruckman. It should be priority A, B, C and all the way to Z that we recruit a young ruck next off-season though. An absolute non-negotiable.
ADELAIDE has tabled a two-year contract extension to Reilly O'Brien on the eve of the 2025 season.
The Crows have been in the market for a long-term replacement for the Victorian in recent years, but are working to keep O'Brien at West Lakes beyond October.
O'Brien hasn't agreed to terms on a new deal just yet and the offer could be extended to three years for the ultra-professional ruckman, who has attracted interest from Geelong in the past and proven to be an important player during Matthew Nicks' time in charge. – Josh Gabelich
I've been all for that for the last 4 years re drafting/recruiting a young development ruck and I'll be watching McAndrew really closely to see if he actually has AFL lead ruck attributes. I just hope we have signed him up for 2 years in preference to keeping Strachan as our back up. My non negotiable is Strachan getting any extension....surely not?Cupboard is bare and we've apparently missed another target (Draper) we were angling for.

Yea, Strachan has to be done at this point. I don't have an opinion on McAndrew one way or the other cause I haven't seen him, so completely open to him being the transition if he shows it, but even then I'd still be drafting another ruck for depths sake.I've been all for that for the last 4 years re drafting/recruiting a young development ruck and I'll be watching McAndrew really closely to he if he actually has AFL lead ruck attributes.

I think we missed the boat with Max Knobel rather more than not drafting Dodson who obviously had recruiters worried about his long term commitment to AFL, hence why he slipped so far.
Roosters/NT athletic 199cm Ruck/KPP draft prospect Taj Murray a big watch for us I'm hoping.Yea, Strachan has to be done at this point.

2yrs for ROB is alright. It's not a long term deal and if he wants to leave that's also not a bad thing.
Seems a mutually sort of beneficial but also not terrible if it doesn't happen kind of deal for both parties.
I don't know how I feel about re-signing ROB.Cupboard is bare and we've apparently missed another target (Draper) we were angling for.
