A little off-topic but this sounds like a great trade by St. Kilda, just wanting to know who they drafted with those 2 first round picks? Savage has been good for them.

18 & Savage for McEvoy with a follow up trade of 19 for 24 & 59 (18 Luke Dunstan)

18, 19 & Savage for McEvoy, 24 & 59 (19 Blake Acres)

basically 1 1st rounder & Savage with a slight downgrade

And we even have a coach to go with that side in Allan Jeans.....Although, to be fair, he did also coach the Saints to their only flag.
 
I can’t believe we didn’t draft someone with pick 59. These days were drafting new talent with picks in the 80s
Played 88 games and twice won Dafont Showbox FileHippo the club’s goalkicking, The rise of Reiwoldt, Koschitzke and the recruitment of Fraser Gehrig put pressure on the salary cap. After Tony Lockett retired, Sydney was in the hunt for a big name forward and offered big money to Hall to become a Swan. He played 162 games for the Swans and another 39 for the Bulldogs.
 
Can add Rhys Stanley to this list now.

No idea on the players before Stewart's time but probably a half decent aside in here, with Jeans as coach.
 
The team now has it's Medical Sub with Rhys Stanley becoming the 23rd player

With the retirement of Josh Bruce and Paddy McCartin, I believe the responsibility of adding to this list lies with Carlton (Blake Acres) & Sydney (Zak Jones, Tom Hickey). Multiple injuries could pave the way for Melbourne (Luke Dunstan) but unlikely. The same alllies for Brisbane (Darragh Joyce).
