Interesting Trade Articles
Moderators: Saintsational Administrators, Saintsational Moderators
I am fairly new to this forum. I am an older female Saints member in Queensland.
I have been a fan of St Kilda nearly all my adult life.
I found the following artilces interesting.

He is the fifth Saint to retire, along with Andrew Thompson, Fraser Gehrig, Brett Voss and Matthew Clarke. Justin Sweeney and Phillip Raymond have been delisted, while rookies Jayden Attard and Clinton Jones have been elevated
and may be some trades possible from this article.

Would anyone have any objections in offering Paul Haselby a 320-360k dollar contract?
G'day and welcome, Rose. It's always good to see another QLD Sainter in here.
Whereabouts in QLD are you? If you're Brisbane or Gold Coast based, the new prez, Mr Westaway is meeting supporters next week.
Send a PM to Saint Bev or Plugger14 for details.
Cheers

if he can turn his fitness and injuries around, he is probably as good as any skillful, slow paced midfielder going around.

Yeah, he'll add much needed depth to our midfield and is definitely an improvement on a few who are currently getting a game.Dan Warna wrote:if he can turn his fitness and injuries around, he is probably as good as any skillful, slow paced midfielder going around.
Put him through the ringer during preseason to help him shed some of the weight that slows him down.
Ability and smarts can often make up for a lack of pace and he has both, he can definitely play. There are a lot of slowish midfielders who are running around doing outstanding jobs for their clubs - Kane Cornes, Priddis and Mitchell to name a few.
absolutely, its his OP i'd be worried about.OLB wrote:Yeah, he'll add much needed depth to our midfield and is definitely an improvement on a few who are currently getting a game.Dan Warna wrote:if he can turn his fitness and injuries around, he is probably as good as any skillful, slow paced midfielder going around.

IMO trading adrian fletcher to make salary cap room was one of our biggest mistakes.
and fattleby has a lot of his game similar to fletch.

Mitchell from Hawthorn is slow, but gets plenty of the ball. Haselby looks overweight more than anything, but like Mitchell he reads it well, and maybe he needs a new environment. Whether we need another in and under player could be debated. Would we offer a third round pick ? I would presume Freo would be chasing something a bit better than that.
fattleby if fit without OP is worth a top 10 draft pick.Stephen Theodore wrote:Mitchell from Hawthorn is slow, but gets plenty of the ball.

in his current form and health, round 2 mid pick.
IMO freo will want more but will settle for a round 2 pick.
his OP as discussed in the media will be where the issues are at though.

As far as rumoured available players go, we should be looking at the following,
Darren Jolly (likely to stay at Sydney)
Cameron Wood
Mitch Hahn
Justin Sherman
Brock McLean (likely to stay at Melbourne)
Ryan Crowley
Jordan Lewis (if Hawthorn trade him)
Kayne Pettifer could also be an option if they a after another small forward, worth 30-40 goals a season.

Mitch Hahn is the pick of that bunch IMO. He can play the 3rd tall fwd, is tough, reasonably quick & can go into the midfield or even backline when required.
He'd only be in his early 20's too so he'd be a great addition to the club. It would be interesting to see what the dogs would want for him though. If he was a Saint I'd say a 1st round pick but hopefully a 2nd rounder would get it done.
If he is squabbling over $$$ it looks like we may be in a position to offer a fair bit.

Whitnall's always had weight issues. Hasleby has only gotten bigger recently as the result of an injury which limits his ability to train and stay fit. He's also nowhere near as overweight as Whitnall is.Dan Warna wrote:yep, he is slow, limited by OP, and has a tendency to be overweight (a kind of slow midfielder version of lance whitnall)

Even with his injury concerns he's missed a total of 13 games over an 166 game career. He doesn't miss games, and he always plays at a high level. Most importantly, he gets the ball, and he knows how to use it. Unlike a lot of our mids, he knows how to kick inside fifty. He's a fantastic player, and if we have a chance to pick him up, I'd be mad if we passed it up.

Reading that article about trades I'd be considering McMahon and maybe Sam Power. Neither have been mentioned so far. McMahon is super quick could play Gram's role allowing Gram to go into the midfield or you could play them both off HB. Power would be a good depth player and could be a player that cold gradually just keep improving until he becomes a very good player. Wouldn't give that much up for either though. Maybe a 2nd round pick for McMahon or 3rd round pick for Power.

Cameron Wood - hel'l go home to s.a surely...i don't want a person that urinated on me in a nightclub toilet as part of my football club
Mitch Hahn - he is a beanpole with no muscle...no thank you....he is a typical bulldog tall
Justin Sherman - so he uprooted his family form tasmania last year to live in Brisbane for him to leave??? i dont think so
Brock McLean - never...future leader of the dees
Ryan Crowley - no thank you...he is dispised that much by hs team-mates they have kicked him out of training numerous times
Jordan Lewis - why oh why??? the hawks would be mad to let him go...and considering pelchen's one sided trading games a team would have to give up a tonne and them some for lewis

Mitch Hahn. I have no idea who you have mixed him up with but he has the opposite build. Would be great pick up if fit but who has said he is available.
