Easy. Josh Bruce and Dunstan to ESSENDON; allowing them to part with Joe Daniher and they get the inside bull they're missing... we get Swans pick 5. 5 and 12 for Hill and next year's Freo's 1st rounder; 18 and some swaps for the two Port boys; Steven to Geelong for 36 or 37, passed onto Sydney with...

He can't fit Nick Hind into the team?

You also wanna play players you'd like to see move on. That's one reason Ratts played him, I'd suggest.

With all due respect SMS, I would NOT like to see a St Kilda side which continues to include the likes of Geary, Webster and Savage who to me are relics of an unsuccessful past and need to be moved on from plus I have serious doubts on Hind and Parker (including because I believe we have better opt...

Didn't Freo demand 2 first round picks for Hill. So is it: 1. coincidence ? or 2. was it always part of the Saints plan to get Hill by offering 2 first rounders , or 3. did Freo get a sniff this was happening and make the ask public to try and snaffle both those picks Tactic to show Bell we're not ...

I'm putting forward a glass-half-full picture (seeing as nobody else will). He's an aerobic beast. Can we free Steele up by turning him into a tagger? (He'll need some hardcore tackling work in the pre-season.)

Nah, don't wanna trade Battle.

coz they gonna lose him anyway... and a bunch of mature players will make them competitive overnight

Butler King Parker/Kent Long Marshall Membrey Clark Gresh Billings Wilkie Howard Roberton Jones Clav Coffield Ryder, Hanners, Ross Bytel, Hill, Hines, Steele EM: Battle, Paton, Savage, Acres, Geary, Brown, Webster, Carlisle, DMac We MUST trade out these EMs while they have currency, keep Brown as ba...

Elliott much better in the air

Like for like as in they are both running defenders. So positional. Jones is a B grade player McKenzie is a D Grade player Sorry but that is a ludicrous thing to say about Jones. Do you rate him higher than B grade DC and / or see him as more than a running defender? Or less in both cases? I think ...

QUESTION: Can St Kilda agree to tear up the last year of his contract and accept a priority pick for losing him?

Speaking of left-fielders: Trade them a backline: Geary, Webster, Carlisle, Newnes for Ben King... who we'll get for 2021 if they don't take it. They become hard to score against, add bulk and experience they need.

Trade 5 for Hill and Pick 26 from Freo.
Trade pick 26 and Steven for Geel's pick 17
Trade Bruce for pick 32,43 trade pick 32 to Sydney to for Jones
Saints Pick 79 for Ryder


Leaves us with pick 17, 43, 56, 73

nice work, mate

Joe Daniher. We trade Josh Bruce, pretty likely according to many. Bains is telling Dogs it's done. We get a mid 2nd draft pick. Lonie- Bulldogs have enquired alot...draft pick...add Bruce plus Lonie...are 2 players worth pick 13?? We split our 1st round ( with some team....not sure we can as sever...

If I were managing GCS, I'd trade Picks 1 and 2 for a bunch of top 20 picks, get an experienced leadership/values player on every line; and fill up their list to FIRST... become competitive. Doing the same thing over and over again hasn't worked, yet they keep doing it. Once competitive, then they c...

I find it slightly ironic that on one hand there is an outcry that GCS are getting helped out by the afl Yet on the other hand people want to rip the young players out of the club GCS make terrible decisions. Don't deserve a priority pick. Recruiting Ben King AFTER Max had been taken by the Saints ...

If we wait until he is out of contract next year we are in a stronger position. What can the suns do if he says I am homesick and will return to Melbourne and makes it clear he wants to play with his twin brother. Suns are not in a position to knock back a first round pick. Carlisle and next year's...

Next year it could be quite expensive.

Agreed. I'd give 'em pick 6, Geary and Newnes this year and be done with it.

Geez top 10 b&f in only 13 games last year is an amazing effort. Really like McKenzie but can see how he might be on the outer. Interestingly from champion data (maybe the previous years prospectus) he was rated highly in terms of relative ratings (based on age and position) for his draft class...

St Kilda list management met with Tom Petroro and placed a contract offer of 9 years @ $800k/year plus bonuses for Marcus Bontempelli during the week. The Bont is said to be seriously considering the offer. All parties will deny it. So the bont is seriously considering an offer to leave his club an...

A couple of objections to that scenario : I think pick 5 is overs for Hill. If Saints can split that pick for a couple in the low teens and give up one of them, that would be a better balance IMO. Acres may also have something to do with that deal. Taking my St Kilda fan hat off: - I think a single...
