Saint Nick a Pie?

[Culprit]

If Butthead is still on the board of the Saints late this year, the mail going around is Ricky Nixon will seek out the Pies and Blues for a transfer. Thomas is so pissed at the saints currently that he feels Nick would be better out of there. He is good friends with Nick and has convinced him to look elsewhere and mentioned the two clubs. Infighting at the saints is always a good thing.

Now Now Culprit.......you know this is going to start a wave of rumours.






I love your work

[Culprit]

It was even mentioned on 3AW last night.

[Nath]

3AW - such a reliable source of rumour and innuendo.
I'd love for nothing more than Dal Santo to come to Collingwood.....however, he;s uncontracted which means a trade, of which we don't have a great deal of tradable commodities.

If that fails, he goes PSD and it's certainly looking like Richmond, Melbourne and Carlton at this point in time would be the first cabs off that rank.

[Culprit]

Nick Riewoldt, sorry about the confusion I forgot about the other..lol

It's all about removing Butthead. If Butthead goes it won't mean a thing.

I love Steve Bedwell referring to him as Harvey Norman, "No Interest for 12 months"..lol

[Nath]

Sorry Culprit, I didn't know which Nick you referenced.
I would think that if he went anywhere it'd be to the Lions to go back home.

Regardless.....

Steve Bedwell comment last night was the best comment for 2007. Hands down, literally laughed my butt off.

I mentioned this months ago and got strung up for it... He has been unhappy at St Kilda alot longer than people think. His development has been stunted there and he must move on.

Rumours are even stronger up here on the Gold Coast about NR coming back home to the coast and playing for the Lions.

Lions will have the cap space in 2008 and I am tipping the Nick will be back home on the coast in 2008.

Melbourne clubs are a smoke screen and the Lions are working very hard in the background.

Just curious if anyone knows, but what is the depth of this years draft like???
The reason why I ask is that I believe that we have recruited very well in the past 3 seasons and I believe that either Dal Santo or Riewoldt would be worth a first round pick easily! Dal Santo is about 24 and Riewoldt 25 so if we are looking at a premiership window of 2008-2012, you would think they would substantially help that and would fit in perfectly!

I know there is a lot of rumour at the moment and most is probably bullcrap but you wonder as to what St Bulnda would accept for either one of those!

[Cuthbert Collingwood]

collingwood is always used as a smokescreen by clubs/managers with out of contract players

saying that, i wouldn't mind nick too much, but what about the price - some of our guys are surely due for a pay rise next year the way they've been playing

If we're going to trade for any players they need to fit 3 criteria for mine.

1. Young, uninjured and with potential room for improvement still. We don't want to be a retirement homw for hacks in the wrong end of their career.

2. They have to fill a gap we need filled, not just a depth player, and have to be able to fit in with the culture we're building. No Bigheaded individuals who think they're above the team.

3. The Price has to be reasonable. We don't want to destroy the culture we're building by handing over kids who're on the verge of creating their own history.

Reiwoldt fits the first two criteria reasonably well, him and Trav on the HF line would give every other team nightmares. The third would be the challenge.
