[ralphysaints35]

that makes sense since they have pick 7 lololol herald dun trolling us

how does it make no sense? Billy longer was a former number 8 pick? whats it have to do with number 7?

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Wow, thats 4 players in the last 2 years that have nominated us as a trade destination.
Not bad for a club thats supposed to be in the perils of ruin and too far for any players to want to come to. Who would have thunk it.

i read is as longer + pick 8 for whatever we give up... then i looked it up and found the lions have pick 7 and then put 2and2 together

Won't happen i don't think especially after losing Nick Dal Santo i don't think we'd let Armo go as well.

 

[Spider Eater]

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.

 

[goodie23]

Us and the majority of Hawks fans thought pick 18 and Savage was fair. So pick 18 and something else.

Problem is that deal would effectively negate the McEvoy trade for us. It may be fair, but I'm not sure Saints will part with that much.

 

[SAINTsincebirth]

if the article is right. it will be a great day for our rebuild.

 

[xfiledavid]

this trade period i feel we are playing a dangerous game that's about to end, we are going to get hurt or come through fine, time will tell i guess.

 

[From 45]

What other choice did we have but to go down this path?

 

[Jack Stevens]

Anyone in the know what the latest on Myers is?

Anyone in the know what the latest on Myers is?

Essendon would want massive overs in return for him, i'd expect him to remain at Essendon.

 

[VDS66]

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?

Anyone in the know what the latest on Myers is?

Last I heard we were very keen but I suspect we were trying to swap Dal Santo for him.

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!

 

[Defacto]

Pelchen is the Stephen Milne of the trade table. Turns an inch into a mile, makes something out of nothing. The bloke is a deadset gun!!!!

 

[Sir Skid]

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

 

[Sir Skid]

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!

 

[Lionator]

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.

 

[VDS66]

Unbeknownst to many on here... some of us BF fans have secretly opened a few cafes in Seaford. Hence the sudden attraction of players.

We are also petitioning the City of Frankston to build a helipad and air strip next to our facilities in order to cut down travel times.

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

 

[Lionator]

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.
