Savage was the steak knives on porentially good trade where we gained two picks in the late teens for Ben.
Savage would also have been taken as e is NZ born and club wants to use him in PR to help build a NZ supporter bases for the Saints.
Have you been happy with Dunstan's first 2 games? I have been.
Acres should be very good too.
Yes, very happy. He just has to keep it up now.saintsRrising wrote:What you had in brackets was accurate.Jacks Back wrote:I thought he was going to be a great get but, at the moment, it seems like we payed big overs for him (I actually don't know what we paid for him but he's not going well).

Thats true but we may have got one of them at 24. we will never know but i reckon we really only got one pick for Ben.

1. Ben for Savage & 18
2. 24 & 59 for 19
In the end:
Ben, Hartung & Ceglar (R/U) for Savage, Dunstan & Acres.
in regards to Longer, we used the Dal Santo compo pick (25). Effectively Dal for Longer with a swap of third rounders.
Yes true. Going off Delaney's first two weeks that could be the most savvy trade the Pelican pulled off. Not a lot of fanfare or anticipation on his move but he's looked solid as a rock so far. I think he's had only the one goal kicked on him.gringo wrote:Old Mate wrote:Two parts to the Ben trade:

Also an under the table handshake to see Delaney come for our last pick.
I don't want to get into a slanging match here but... Nearly all of what you have written here is wrong.BigMart wrote:North were going to delist Delaney... Don't even think the used that selection? Nor were we going to
The trade was done so Luke could get to club of his choice...
And yes,
Must be informed about trades? The idea we only got Dunstan because of the trade is speculative
We had a second round selection and pick 25?
We upgraded some picks... And got a second rounder for Ben... Until we got the upgrade and Billy our Ruck dept and Mid dept looked shredded for some second rounders?
It was a fair deal after the late announcement of the second upgrade appeared after confusion?
The Longer deal (even though we did not need to spend ANOTHER high pick on a ruck) was a steal because of circumstance... And also indicates the jury was out on Tom. Button ability along a big get.

If they had delisted him why wouldn't we have picked him up in the PSD?BigMart wrote:The trade was done so Luke could get to club of his choice...

If North were going to delist then we could have got him as a delisted free agent.In 2013, Delaney played only the final five games of the year. North Melbourne offered him a new contract but he made the decision to leave in search of more opportunities at senior level.

I am pretty sure that the Delaney deal was tied into the Saints agreeing to let Dal Santo go as a free agent.
