Wow that's bizarre, I saw him on AFL game day on sunday. Coincidence? He was saying he definitely hasn't signed up with Carlton...he never said anything about the Sainters. It's a sign from the footy gods.
Melbourne would be the only club suitable for trading regarding top 10 picks if Frawley leaves.. Although I doubt Pick 1 & 21 for example would be enough to match pick 3 & 4. I can't see us trading it.
Smart move to say we are willing to trade pick 1. It lets everyone think it is on the market as you never know who rates the top players highly. Someone out there may make a ridiculous offer too good to refuse. If we say we won't trade pick 1 we never will get that offer. GWS did it last year but when push came to shove they didn't get the overs offer and they didn't trade. i think we are doing the same thing. Like they say everyone is tradable for the right price.
Just a question for someone who may know - if Melbourne end up with the #1 pick and Frawley leaves does that mean they will get pick #2 as compo (given his age, contract, etc) or is it up to the discretion of the afl?
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

99% sure that will happen.
Cheers, that would be pretty average given P Roos' comments this week about tanking.

Well in his defence I dont think they are even slightly tanking unless he somehow xan get a side not to try in the last quarter. I think the point is they wouldnt really care about losing Frawley and who could blame them. Very good player but not worth a top 4 pick but thats the system.
Im betting we will trade the first pick. As things stand it looks like we will get 1 and supposedly GWS very keen on Petracca _ and they certainly don't need another tall forward like McCartin. I'd be leaking a whisper in the media that we are also keen on Petracca and that will bring GWs to the table. Either a Dom Tyson type deal or swap for 2 picks would be my guess . Either way we will turn that #1 pick into 2 players.
Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants.

I agree thats a real possibility. Seems to be the way Pelchen works.
He's a numbers man and right now we need several good young players to come in in a short period.
Interesting times.
Regardless of pick numbers etc, I suggest the Saints just go out and do whatever it takes to secure a truckload of quality young midfielders and worry about the rest after that!
