Pelchan said ealier in the week we were looking for small/quick forwards...these two obviously fit that need.

If this is true is would the reserves full time coach job be the best fit for Harves development, or would he be best for centerline coach assistant? For the last time, Ayres has the job. The AG...

I'd like us to keep Ray, think he's quite under-rated myself.

Not too fussed about trading Gram, Dawson, or Peake if the right deal comes up....

Is this now fact? I have only heard rumours of it so far...

I'm no expert on this, but I believe its due to back-ended contracts and bonuses....

Reports coming through that the Crows are interested in Saints Tom Lynch, who was taken by the Saints at pick 13 in 08 draft[/url]

This has been reported by a few places now...might be something to it...not sure we'd get much in return tho.....

If Pelchen has any balls he will trade the following players for draft picks.... Goddard, Dal Santo, Kosi, Rooey, Dawson, Ray and Peake. Then he will trade in at least 7 gun youngsters from the November National Draft. Here's hoping!!!!! You want to trade out three of our best players in a weak dra...

Anyone have an idea who is left in the running,Watters,G.Brown etc If there are 10 candidates remaining you'd think; Watters Hinkley G.Brown A.Richardson R.Harvey Tudor Cameron 3 smokies....? I'd be happy with any of those except Banger... At a pinch...I like Gavin Brown. Cameron pulled out a coupl...

"Collingwood assistant coach Scott Watters is considered a strong chance to win the job, with Gold Coast assistant Ken Hinkley also believed to be in the running. Port Melbourne premiership coach Gary Ayres fell at the second round of interviews." thank god for that dodged a bullet there....

If we trade it must be for picks only. with the exception of young talent Yep but to get young talent means you are going to lose a first or second round pick. Isnt that what people are bagging RL for. Anyway the way i see it young must be really young, like under 22 because if they any older they ...

When his appointment is finally made official, I hope he grows back the mullet he had in the 1980's. How cool would it be if all the Saints players followed him and we had a team full of mullets!!!!!! :shock: :D :lol: So based on what you are saying, the entire interview process has been a sham.

I thought we came to an arrangement with Lovett already?

I thought MM was doing a book signing in Perth today?

Last year wasn't meant to be that great either but we got some nice players with late picks. It's a shame we don't have a coach with a wish list ready to go. I still wish we could get johnny Patton though he will be a gun, Riewoldt style and future captain material. He is a saints man so hopefully ...

Ive heard Hinkley is out. Will confirm.

COACH UPDATE: The selection panel will hold the first round of interviews for the St Kilda FC senior coaching job on Thursday and Friday this week.

A lot of "it is understood" speculation there. Can't see how Carlton could afford him, or why we would want to trade him. Not fussed about losing the other guys mentioned, but no way should we let Goddard go.

Spoke to a closely Suns-connected person this morn... Their oil was along the lines of 'you have to be seen to be interested otherwise you're forever labelled as unwilling.' That is, Hinkley is not really all that keen to uproot his family again but will have a chat regardless. He also said Hinkley...

we know for sure that the Saints are interviewing Hinkley, Eade, Rob Harvey and Watters......you'd expect Cameron to also be interviewed but haven't seen this confirmed anywhere yet.

Ken Hinkley is the front-runner according to Herald Sun:
