    Please no. He'd be a bad influence on Bennell.

    Was it between the Saints and us or was he considering other clubs too?

    I'm not 100% on the rules. Can we match whatever the Saints are supposedly offering if we don't want to lose Jones?

    I'd imagine he would gladly go to anyone who would take him, including us.....he'd be feeling a bit 'tainted' right about now.

    He's not a free agent. There is no matching involved. He's just out of contract.

    Jones is not a free agent. If Jones wants to go to the Saints, it will be as a trade.

    What complicates the trading is Bradley Hill (Fremantle) has nominated the Saints and Fremantle want pick 5 for Hill. The Saints have little trade currency this year with their first two picks being 5 and 55. They may have to offer future picks again.

    Interesting analysis of Serong (Henney 2.0) by Knightmare;
    AFL Draft Wrap Why Caleb Serong is firming as a top-five choice

    The quote that gets my attention; "Imposing himself at stoppages by winning first possession, ground balls inside 50m and tackling aggressively".

    Jones will be a loss. I liked the way he took the game on and tried to bring some run into our play.
    Not sure what might be a worthwhile trade. A 1st or 2nd rounder next year would be useful if Gulden and Campbell maintain their form. Or perhaps St Kilda split pick 5 with GWS so they have two first rounders, one to us for Jones the other to Freo for Hill.

    I would like this. Constable has the potential to be a JPK pickup for us.

    It's all very well trying to find an immediate replacement for JPK - not convinced on that btw, I suspect his performance will lift if we play a genuine ruckman that can get first hand to the ball.

    But if Jones is gone, then we even more immediately need a replacement forceful line breaking midfielder. Ollie is more of an accumulator, and SmallMac who may fill such a role has only played a single fairly forgettable game in the 1sts so far.
