I think we might be trying to improve our draft position in certain rounds. Smart idea, TDL is the type of player to move on, 3 years on list. Good return to start with before drop off when expectations from coaches weren't met.

Also sends the right message

Do the Saints have any budding defenders?
The Saints are probably in more need of defenders than we are. We need depth but they need first team players.

With these late picks it sounds like we're getting from Heath and TDL trades, I hope Sydney looks to the VFL/WAFL/SANFL for some mature aged defenders.

This.

Club is probably desperately trying to land a big defender as we speak.

Perhaps our clubs will involve someone else to get it done?
Hmm. I hope you get Mitch Brown. That kind of deal is what trade week is for; a perfect move for both club and player.

Watters was TDL's coach in the WAFL I see. Doesn't jump out to me as a real need for your side considering you have quite a raft of smalls there anyway (who aren't greatly able of running on the ball already) but I hope TDL has a tremendous career down south in the same vein as Dempster and Schneids.

I don't know what to think about Brown, hasn't played much footy.

Yeah I see the strong Subiaco link between Watters and TDL, however there appears to be a conscious decision to bring in speedy players to potentially play in the forward line by the Saints.

The only guy I know would potentially be on the table, well I don't want to receive a red card for mentioning ;)

PS I love Sean, so nice to see him a 'poster boy' of the 2013 membership campaign.

Well there is at least one group who has a job ahead of them. Either Beatson and co. to make some great decisions with our draft to find some depth or the development coaches to get Lamb, Brown, Lockyer, Mitchell, Biggs, Cunningham and co. to places where they can contribute to the side when and if they are called upon.
