Will be interesting to see what picks the saints have left after trading for carlisle & freeman
It'll be interesting to see what they have left and what they plan to use if someone bids a second rounder for him.

They might not have the pick points left over in their latter picks to get it all done this year and they might have to put up their second rounder from next year to get it done.

That's not how the bidding system works. If St Kilda is his preference, we'd have to pre-emptively select him and hope the Saints decline to match, which they likely would.

There's no auctioning process, they just get the points taken from next year's draft if they don't have enough left this year.
Sorry to intrude, but you guys do have the second chance at him.

For instance, if another club nominates him in the 2nd round and the Saints decide to pass, you guys will then get the option to take him.

Good luck to Bailey, I have no issue with this at all. He's a kid.

But if the Saints don't/can't match any offer pick wise, I hope we don't take him. Not sour grapes at all, only want people committed to this club.

I also don't want him here in the future if things are looking up. Or if the Saints are battling. That would prove he's a downhill skier & I think we're finally weeding them out.

This is no loss at all. He's made his Seaford bed & can enjoy laying in it.

The tightened FS process actually works for us this time around...we will do just as well with our 2nd round pick. Just be thankful he isnt a Daniher/Moore level talent.

Good luck to Rice hope he does well, I think either club wouldn't have been too upset either way, with the new system you don't really benefit as much as you once did so he probably would have cost us our 2nd round pick which will probably net us a player of the same caliber, the benefit is we dont have the pressure of having our 2nd round pick locked in to get him, im guessing it'll be used in the GWS trade.

Yeah good luck to the kid no big loss last thing we need is another half back.
Buckley, Tuohy, Sheehan, Byrne, Docherty all look like quality defensive flankers. Dick as a back up. We would have been pushing other players into other positions to accommodate Rice anyway.

Yeah but we have plenty of these flanker types Bucks and Doc can still play in the middle and it depends on how our trades go, we need another inside midfielder to support Cripps but we have Graham for that as well.

I clarified my comments a little after, but yes you are technically right. :)

That said, the Saints have been wooing him all year while we've cooled. All signs point to them matching any bid before we do.

Exactly but for some reason we want to keep bringing about some perceived loss, as a ..........'We're not good enough'
Don't forget we have Plowman coming as well.

Sometimes you just have to back what you've got in one area of the ground and concentrate elsewhere.....We need mids and goal-kickers now.
