Draft or Trade

[luckysaint48]

With the draft looking pretty light this year, would it be preferable to trade our picks for an older player in the 24-26 age bracket? guerra's been a disapointment so reckon another enforcer would be a nice addition to the team. Also we seem to have enough young midfielders coming through, but with the envisioned retirements of Harvey, Thommo, Peckett and perhaps a few others, might need to get an older head in there. Thoughts?

If we do trade, I don't think we'd go for anyone over 25 IMO.

We still have depth in our midfield with the likes of McGough, McQualter, Montagna, and Gram coming through. We would probably chase a seasoned defender 22-24 yo with some height and strength.

We'll take our first pick in the draft - some kid that Beveridge has picked out and maybe go for a few more "depth" players.

The salary cap is not going to be easy to get under if we trade for some good player/s so we have to develop our own.

JB has been consistent in picking up players who can offer the club at least 10 years of service, and I don't see him changing that policy now.

What kind of a player is Ferguson? Why didn't he get much of a go this season? Injury?

Would St Kilda be interested in trading him?

He's only 20 so has time on his side.

I think if anything a strict youth policy is in order

 

[FootyGuru]

saints need to get a reasonable full back, pennies not up to it.

go after hay or polak

trade away your pick its not worth anything to u cos ure looking to win a flag in 2006, and it wont be ready by then

fergurson is a young defender who is still develping and has shown glimpes of what he's capable of. will be a good player in a few years time.
