St Kilda's head of football, Chris Pelchen, said the Saints wanted to keep Gram, but suggested they might have their price.
"Because Jason is contracted our preference is for him to stay at the club. He certainly hasn't been put on the table ... but we're mindful of the fact that we've got restrictions and constraints," Pelchen said.
"There's certainly been interest shown. We've made it clear to clubs who have made inquiries that he is contracted. If they want to discuss Jason, OK, we'll listen to what they put forward."
Gram, who returns from Bali tomorrow, is believed to have attracted interest from North Melbourne, while Carlton has made preliminary inquiries.
Walsh, who is yet to make his AFL debut since crossing from Ireland in 2009, wants to join the Swans after they promised him greater opportunity.
But the Saints insist they won't let him leave, declaring Walsh a required player who they have tried to re-sign since the middle of the year.
Pelchen also dismissed speculation that Sean Dempster, who finished third in this year's best-and-fairest, had not been offered a new contract.
SAINTS LOSE/NORTH GAIN: gram, 25
SAINTS GAIN/NORTH LOSE: 18, 40
That trade can go f*** itself in the arse.

Even if Walsh walks into the National or Pre-Season Drafts, he still risks being picked up by anyone, before the Swans.

The big difference between this and the Ball scenario is GWS. They have the picks, list and cap space to take anyone they want. If he did walk, he'd be going to Sydney alright, but not the SwansMCG-Unit wrote:Ok I had not seen that thread - yep that would be right, Trade Week is like Full Moon on BF (and SS)goodie wrote:I read that post, 'twas from a newbie and borderline illegibile.

Again, that would be the most unlikely of scenarios. Do you really think there wouldn't be a plethora of clubs would take Walsh in the pre-season draft before Sydney's pick. I doubt they'd be able to price them all out... Walsh wouldn't take that risk.bobmurray wrote:As long as we don't let the Swines get him for F*** all
Giving the boy some credit,most players don't like shafting their clubs and with suck it up and stay if a deal isn't done.
Rohan would be exactly the type of player the Saints need. Super quick, great skills and a good leap on him too. I reckon he might end up a bit like BJ. Won't be traded and wouldn't be able to afford him in the first place! Better off finding a quick, skilled type in the draft.

Yep, I agree. Trade week doesn't finish until tomorrow, so let's hope that one of Scott's first priorities is to have a chat with both Walsh and Dawson, "today."I think the whole situation will change now that we have a new coach. Scotty will put his game plan & convince Walsh to stay.

Apart from the apparent extra money on offer up North, just the fact the Swans are chasing after him must make an impression. I reckon Tommy thinks he's done his apprenticeship and the thought of another year playing for the Zebras holds little appeal.
Watters has to convince him he's in his plans - assuming of course he is in his plans.

i hope he has been going nuts on the video and talking to the training staff about who to keep. It will be interesting to see how he goes now that he's in charge.Junction Oval wrote:Moannair said :Yep, I agree.

being against Pies Scotty will definately understand Tommy guns importance. I also along with other Sainters believe that we left it a bit too long to give him a go last year.
Going by the reports that he did tear the Gaelic football apart a couple of year ago would have really stamped his mark.
Lets hope Scotty will ensure him that he a part of the new "Saints" footy.

don't believe the hype that walsh wants out. he is actually happy to be a saint and was stoked to be told he would be promoted and a senior list player.
problem is swans have offered 70% more

Thanks MC. Some of us are smart enough to realise those that have genuine sources and appreciate the info. That makes it all cool if it's only 70% more. Tommy can't be on a big amount you'd think so if we waved goodbye to someone like Gamble that would be enough to cover a first year player and give Tommy an extra 40% or so. Most people will stay at the workplace they like for a substantial rise and forego an even more substantial rise that creates a major disruption - it's human nature. If the choice was between Tommy and Gamble, sorry Ryan, but I wish you all the best in your future.MC Gusto wrote:i will keep you all updated.
