Kosi will be signed up by the Saints this week.
St Fid, youre welcome here and i reckon youre ok.
But some of your mates over at SS are blockheads.
Every bit of bad luck that happens to your club is just karma.

May as well have crossed him off the list after Sunday's game.

Uncontracted KPP are quickly becoming few and far between.

Oh and just on Fid, guys, he's one of the better SS members you'll come across.
Has a good eye for football and is a top bloke.
Don't give him a hard time.

If he is that adament on a three year contract, give it too him....

But for the same amount as a two year deal. Ala Kouta.

Laps will be 30 by the start of next season...
Giving him a three-year deal, in an administration still smarting from long contracts, is not prudent, its ludicrous...
I couldve perhaps understood it if he was 24-25 but at 29?
He is not a marquee player, nor is he indespensible...
I would prefer to keep him but any funny buggers from him or his management and ill happily let him go... for anything i can get.... or nothing at all if nobody bites.

Couldn;t give a flying fig about what the majority of the people over there have to say about me.
Most of them are 'yes' posters and they just about never disagree with each other.

Let him go if he want's to do a Beaumont/Allan who isn't happy let him go, 2 year deal is good should be happy with that after his good contract he had previously.

So picking first in the PSD and having a wealth of money available may not be our saviour afterall?

I thought the PSD always had a wealth of players available.

Wow, who'd have thought.

Perhaps Fid you should tell that to some of the cretins over at SS.


Exactly. :shock:

This seems to be a thorn in your side, Brad.
Please, let us know the other way around it...

Truth be told not that many GUN players have been taken in the PSD.

I'd be happy to get a ruck through the PSD, like how Richmond got Knobel last year.

At least that way we fill one of our many holes.

Barney/Bryan/ADL aren't enough? Knobel is hardly that much better than what we have at present is he?

There may not be another way around it, but the PSD is not the answer. To play to finish bottom to get 1st pick in the PSD is pointless. Is Trent Knobel worth finishing bottom for?

The National Draft I understand, yes 2 picks are better than one.

But the other reason we were given to finish on the bottom was for the PSD. I've asked more than once who the legitimate players were we could expect to gain from it and no one has been able to answer. We're not getting Kosi there. The fact is that we've already scooped the pool from the PSD draft once. Stevens is the best and only decent player ever taken from the PSD and likely will be the only decent uncontracted player player ever taken in the PSD.

When two of 'em are injured it's not enough Camel. ADL is a tall forward, not a ruckman, and Bryan is barely acceptable as number one ruckman (despite the great job he's done early, I reckon he'll be much better as a pinch hitter in the ruck, maybe floating across half back).

We only have one recognised ruckman, and are crying out for a second.

I hope we cry out for much longer than one second Deano, a few hours at least!

I don't think Synbad was saying that the PSD is the be all and end all of drafting/recruiting.

He is merely saying that along with the priority pick and the first round selection, you get a shot at picking up the best uncontracted player in the AFL.
By finishing last you are going to get the better uncontracted player, whereas if you finish say 5th last you are going to get someone like a Phil Read who really isn't much chop.
