Welcome to the club Liam Henry

[shrodes]

[Otiman]

Good deal but I fear that future second might be a decent pick.

[The G Train Legacy]

Well done Saints, decent deal.

[older saint]

Ok so we have 13 and 22 and 35?

Coffield and 56 to WB for 40 and 53

Then go to Geelong who only have 8 and offer 13 and 35 (1734 pts) for 8(1551 pts)

[older saint]

or to Melb

6 for 13 and 35
And they can use that or 11 on McAdam

[bobmurray]

Glad that deal's done.

We'll find out next season if he's any good, we'll certainly learn about any flaws he may have.

[Sainternist]

Who’s to say?

Anyway, the deal’s done and it’s now Freo’s concern, not ours.

[Sanctorum]

Good deal but I fear that future second might be a decent pick.

That very much depends on where St Kilda finish in 2024. Assuming Fremantle continue to slip down the ladder future 4th could well favour the Saints.

Considering Henry's potential this was definitely a very good deal by the club.

Gain Henry plus pick 21 for the loss of Gresham is pretty good....

[CURLY]

Great get adds pace and adds another element of skill set to our group.

I already don’t like him

[King Max]

We have had seven Henrys play for us in the past.

Welcome Henry the eighth.

Exactly. I'd actually much rather have used this year's 2nd rounder in a weaker draft. The 2024 draft is stacked with mids and yet again - we've traded away our bargaining chip (future 2nd) in a stronger draft. Puts a lot of pressure to select a very good player with pick 21 this year.

No - that's not strictly correct. It's actually gain Henry plus pick 21 for the loss of Gresham and a pick in the late 20's / early 30's next year ...

Good point on the future 4th though. I can't see how Freo is going to improve. Their draft hand this year is very poo (due to Jackson) and they've just lost their 40+ goals a year forward on the back of losing their only other 40+ goal a year forward the year before (Lobb).

I have no idea how they're going to score in 2024.

What do Geelong need points for?
They don’t have academy or father/son picks to worry about. Points are irrelevant to them this year

Correct - points are only listed to give an indication of the equivalency of the picks combined.
They may need the later pick though for the Rat trade with Port.
They have also mentioned in the media open to moving this pick

Welcome to the Saints Liam. No 9 in the 2019 Draft and just starting to show what he can do this year.

[Yorkeys]

Good job.
Second guessing this deal is nuts.
More important, what number does Liam get and who presents the jersey.

[Winmar]

He was pick 9 in 2019, averaged 20 possessions in 16 games this year, including a 32 and 33 from memory, despite not reaching 50 games yet, is quick, and cost us less than some had anticipated. Finding fault with this trade is really looking at it as a glass half empty.

[The Fireman]

ii seems as if RTB is waving a magic wand.

[cwrcyn]

Good value trade for us. Henry is only 22 and has the outside run and speed that we desperately need. Dow turns 24 soon, and at a cheap price, we can't really lose that trade. Hopefully, this change will be the making of him.

Let's now see if there's any more manoeuvering around our picks. Do we try to get into the top 7 or do we now sit tight ? I suppose it depends on if we have a particular player in mind

[Saints58]

Now we have henry and probably get Dow we should look to get a KPP in this draft, there are a lot in this draft so if we have 3 picks 2 KPP or 1 Ruck and another mid.

[Otiman]

Best available that isn't a small forward or back flanker.

[Otiman]

Who is using 4th round picks anyway?

and you know how to spot a good wand-waver a mile away huh
