what a ridiculously stupid proposal, so we put up a decorated player, that has reached heights at the ripe old age of 24 that has had him as a Vic player, AA squads for Ireland and you suggest we package him with a first rounder for some bum that cant string 2 good games together...sure you dont want to throw in conca to sweeten it further
You clearly don't watch much football.

Foley is 25 and will be 26 this year in September. Foley was a great player before his injury, he's been just OK this year.
Its a win for us. I'm more concerned with giving up the first round pick than Foley.
If we are fair dinkum we'd go for McEvoy, best young ruckman in the comp. Would take Foley and a 1st rounder for Saints to part with him
