Stanley, Gilbert, Fisher, Ray & Pick 19 for
Pick 8, Longer and Pick 13... 3 way deal with Port.
The draft will favour us... will end up with Aish, Billings and Scharenberg + Longer as well as Myers for 25 :)
It will all fall our way... The Preying Mantis in the garden foretold this to me at 3am.

To at least give everyone something to laugh (or cringe) about, I found a site that lists the worst possible teams per AFL club from 1990-2003... Check out ours:

St Kilda
B Kristian Bardsley Wayne Thornborrow Glen Coghlan
HB Brett Bowey Daniel Healy Craig Devonport
C Jayson Daniels John Georgiou Damen Shaw
HF Gordon Fode Sean Ralphsmith Troy Gray
F Freddie Campbell Jason Trianidis Matthew Jackson
R Brett Cook Tony Francis Joshua Kitchen
INT Damian Monkhorst Michael Frost Anthony Harvey Glenn Nugent


.... Ouch ....

Not sure about the years they played, but were Kane Taylor and Jamie Lamb part of that era?

St Kilda is set to secure Longer after he told the Lions he wanted to be traded to the Saints.

The Saints are expected to offer their Dal Santo compensation pick (No. 25).

St Kilda will in coming days secure Delaney for pick 77.

And while GWS wants Fisher and a draft pick for Bruce (but the Saints) aren’t offering Fisher and will secure Bruce in the pre-season draft if GWS does not accept pick 41.

Pelchen “It is simplistic to say we are trading players (who are experienced). We understand the need to restore some balance to our player list both in terms of age and experience. The changes currently being made are done with consideration to a deliberate strategic plan.’ Our recruiting staff have identified the top 20 as equal to other years. And while all drafts vary to some degree, we have recognised that ours is a list under transition, there the draft represents a great opportunity for us.”

The Saints rate Longer’s ability to play forward — an opportunity denied him in Brisbane — and say playing Longer and Hickey as dual ruckmen would be an exciting prospect.

St Kilda has not ruled out recruiting Jolly even if they acquire Longer, but clearly he would be more of an insurance player.
YOU FARKIN BEAUTY PELICAN! :thumbsu:

This rebuild is gaining momentum quickly.
Longer, Bruce, Delaney all nominate us as first choice.
Imagine next year! Players will be more keen to join our club.
Get on us!
Get some stability, sorted football dept, sorted admin and a board moving in the right direction and will be singing!!!!

Someone I think shaun posted the free agents available next year. Massive cap room and boy oh boy

Yep, should be paying 100% of the cap in 2014 and front loading the Sh1t out of our best ones coming through. A big chunk of cap spare in 2015/16 will see us rocket up to the 8 again.
Exciting times. Come on Barry Breen, get back on mate!

Ok lets try this again.
Billy Longer will be a Lion next year if a deal can't be done... He will not risk the unkown in the draft and the Saints and Lions know it.
We declined pick 18 from the Hawkes without thought..... So why would we suddenly think 25 is a better deal?

I really think Armitage fills a good age gap for us and is a Qld boy. He was one of the highlights for you guys when we played you. I really think it will be him and at least pick 25. Otherwise we keep Longer, who is already a great tap ruckman..... Great forward though???? Not yet.

Hes nominated us if it came to it he can just walk out and say he wants to go to only us.

I also think that Longer is better for you because as you hit another premiership window Longer will only be 24 or 25..... And will be a prime mover by then. He's already a beast

Because 18 is no longer available to you. Sounds like you should have taken it when you could. Let's wait and see.
