The importance of Pelchin and trading this year
Its probably well known already, but Chris Pelchin would have to be the most important person at St Kilda over the next couple of months.
Without a coach, we are pretty much relying on him to bring us through this. From all reports we have a beauty in Pelchin, who has brought in quality players like Burgoyne, Hale and Gibson to the Hawks. Coupled with draftees like Shiels, Stratton, Smith, Suckling etc, I have a fair bit of faith that he will do well.
He has also lost some players over that period, Kennedy, Brown and McGlynn come to mind. That makes me think that he is not afraid to trade off some (sort of) quality for quality.
The best thing about him I think is that from all reports he didn't really leave on great terms with Hawthorn. All speculation, but do you think we will/have made a huge play for Jack Gunston because Pelchin wants to get one over his old club? I reckon his ego will get Gunston to our club, whether that is a good thing or not remains to be seen, but I think this kid is exactly what we need going forward.

Re: so ok we go for (norman) gunston
I think it was more that the Crows want Tom Lynch to go to them. TL was a Saints supporter growing up, I can't see him wanting to leave unless it was for guaranteed game time over no guarantees with us.mrkiss wrote:I read that tom lynch wants to go to sa so him and paul cahill for gunston

Back to Pelchin, just read somewhere that Pelchin worked out a deal to send Hay to Kangas for two first round picks a few years ago... hopefully he brings some of that magic to us...

He also copped a lot for allegedly keeping Hay's issues with depression & 'medication' on the quiet thus maximising what North would give up.St Ick wrote:I think it was more that the Crows want Tom Lynch to go to them.

Pelchen also bent the Swans over in the Everitt trade & got a fair whack from North again for Nathan Thompson.
Reputation of being tough to deal with but gets results.
Re: so ok we go for (norman) gunston
Yeah seems pretty ruthless but usually wins. His getting rid of Mark Williams was pretty impressive too. At least he was actually getting trades to work...Animal Enclosure wrote:He also copped a lot for allegedly keeping Hay's issues with depression & 'medication' on the quiet thus maximising what North would give up.St Ick wrote:I think it was more that the Crows want Tom Lynch to go to them.

You want to trade out three of our best players in a weak draft? Surely you're taking the piss...End Of An Era wrote: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!!!!!

What a ridiculous statement. We need our top players to build for next year. Saints have said these guys are not going anywhere. Don't hold your breath.

spot on mate!!!! age is also going to play a huge factor.mad saint guy wrote:It certainly looks like we will be offloading one or two GOPs who could be replaced by cheaper kids. The players up for grabs would be Ray, Peake, Jones and Dawson IMO.
peake is 28/29. i think the trade period might decide the fate of blake. especially if were after another ruckmen. wonder what it means for archer and to a lesser extent stanley.

It's a stressful time for Saints supporters - we don't need this.........
Ban, close account, Red Card, whatever.
