Saints recruiters took Sam Mayes aside for a chat at the #aflcombine Speedy mid-sized forward from SA, likely first-rounder.

Wow he looks like a clean player, the pelch does love his silky skilled players so a good chance. He also looks like he's drifted out slightly on what his potential was -double tempting to pelchen you would think.
it's a good draft- there is some real quality all through the first and deep into the second round. a couple will be bargains this year.
Byrnes now a Demon, Chaplin officially a Tiger. Raph Clarke to leave the Saints for either GWS or Carlton it seems, Lions a chance for Moloney. Dawes and Caddy still floating around
Gotta love Raph. Fairly sure if he leaves we get a 3rd rounder for him as this is the bottom tier of compensation. In no way is he worth a third-rounder. So that's a definite win!

Raph Clarke set to leave St Kilda via #FreeAgency. Both GWS & Carlton showing interest. Great fella who just needs a clear run at it.

Teams are compensated for the net worth of all their FA signings and losses, not each individual deal. Therefore it would be the net worth of raph and Goddard, meaning it probably wouldn't change our compensation.

he's worth more than a third rounder for sure he's still a very good player despite the lack of respect he's got over the years. He will surprise a few at another club where bias doesn't cloud the vision.

So do you mean we would still get the 1 pick but it would be improved by the loss of another player?
With Raph going, following Goddard, it seems suddenly that our once bountiful running half back flankers are not so plentiful anymore. Definitely enough, but a significant hit nonetheless.
