He must have some strengths to win that, maybe bucks expects more?

Statistically speaking, for us to improve, the priority needs to be:
1. Clearance players
2. Midfielders who can kick and give our fwds a chance.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
Correct. I hear that the negotiation is already happening for next years trade period! Getting in early. May need to add to the offer once other bids are in. Although this years first rounder and next years first rounder could make it happen this trade period if both clubs come to an agreement.saynta wrote:I don't think the rules permit you trading away two consecutive future years first rounders unless one of them is the current year. I could be wrong though.jaxons wrote:Most accurate assessment, impressive.BackFromUSA wrote:Word around is that our next years first rounder and possibly also the year afters first rounder are being talked about in the Irish Pubs on Cavill Avenue. Any connection Jaxons?

I'm confused. Can you trade other picks in the drafts after next year but not the first pick? I thought what ever pick you traded it could only be this year and next year but next year you cant trade a first round if you did this year. Does that make sense or is it completely wrong?

AFL general counsel Andrew Dillon said the following rules would govern trading of future draft picks:
- Clubs can trade one year in the future only.
- Clubs must make at least two first-round selections in each four-year period. If they don't, they will face restrictions from trading any further first-round draft picks.
- If a club trades a future first-round selection, it may not trade any other future selection from that same draft. But if a club keeps its future first-round selection, it can trade any of its future selections from other rounds.

More stats:
In 2015 we had the worst Kicking for goal conversion rate in the AFL.
We were the ONLY side to kick more points than goals for the season kicking 241.249.
League leaders Hawthorn kicked a very accurate 410.285

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
A huge NO to Seedsman
No interest in trading for a fringe player from a bottom 8 club
Freeman is a different kettle of fish given that he is a top 10 pick and his potential is currently untapped

There's a possibility that we may use pick 5 in the Carlisle trade and get some change (note possibility )BackFromUSA wrote:Correct.

If that eventuates there's no way possible that we can offer 2 first rounders for JOM as we have to use 2 first rounders in every 4 year period
It may come down to choice between the 2 ( we may get neither) and a further 12 months down the track is a looooong way away

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
If we converted at Hawthorn's approx 59% conversion rate then we would have scored 289.201. I reckon an extra 48 goals (about 2 per game) would help in at least some of our games.Con Gorozidis wrote:More stats:

As ex-president Peter Summers said:

Some Saturday #TradeSENtral musings: WB and STK interested in Port's Aaron Young. If Aish leaves BL, Hawthorn are firming as favorites.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
Freo are desperate for McCarthy Why don't we offer Pick 5 for Weller and their first and second.
Their first won't bag them McCarthy but our's probably would.
We can use their first on Carlilse and our second on Freeman.
We get Weller,Carlilse and Freeman for our first and second but gain another second rounder in the process.

Would be stoked if we pulled something like that off. It's those sort of plays that could speed up our list revival real quick. Get it done Saints!footynut wrote:SinCitySainter wrote:Freo are desperate for McCarthy Why don't we offer Pick 5 for Weller and their first and second.

Definitely would do that great idea, something I was thinking off pass it on to the saints worth a try showing them or Bains on Fb etc.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
Chargers won another flag. This has to be a good portent for the Saints. The 'go home factor' for the next ten years should be seriously in our favour. Lots of local talent.
I like the sound of this kid. Its high time the Saints had another 'Cunningham'.

So we end up with
Weller, 16, 23, 41, 52
So 23 for Freeman.
IF we miss out on Carlisle we can use 16 on a kid in the draft.
So we end up with Weller + Freeman + either Carlisle or a good kid. Thumbs up from me.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
there is a write up in a QLD local paper about the Eric Hipwood kid as a saints prospect...
http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/ne ... -/2787972/
did someone say the perfect modern day footballer?
http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/ne ... -/2787972/
and just a refresher 200cm quick and athletic can play key position forward and back but still fast enough to play on the wing...Hipwood confirmed he had met with several AFL clubs, including the team he followed as a boy, St Kilda, but said he was trying not to think about it.
"I had an interview with them (St Kilda) and I was starstruck," he said.
