Well the choice seems to me to be between keeping Pick 5 (clubs best rated player), or trading it for Weller and 2nd pick from Freo. So who do we rate higher eg Mathieson or Weller. Probably Mathieson as Bains wants to keep Pick 5.

It'd be interesting hearing the discussion about Jake Carlisle over dinner in the Beveridge household. They would both probably know where he's going unless he's off to Carlscum or the Dorks.

On the Bound for Glory half yearly draft, pick 60 for the saints was Jesse Glass-McCasker. At 198cm,95kg from Swan Districts WA his write up as a kpd against scache in the recent carnival sounded exciting. Can our WA sainters,Rahul or Big Daddy Barrels provide more information about him?

Imagine if Natanui played for us. It would be Niknat to Paddy Mac

Ah Loris I missed that and I'm old enough to remember

Makes you feel terrific that delisted players still want to help the club.

Do we know any of the nicknames of our new recruits? A good one for Membrey with his tatts would have to be DOODLES

Oscar McDonald for one of these picks!

How about 4,6 and Shiel/WHE ?

Petracca or swap pick 1 for Cameron. We need something like this to increase membership and provide some excitement. If we are going to lose most games next year we need a reason to go. That reason is to watch our youngsters develop. Go Saints!

Oh didn't realize having a contract would stop him going to the Psd!

If gws and doggies reach an impasse re boyd and griffin. What happens next? Gws will keep Boyd as he still has a year to run on his contract. So does Griffin, but he definitely wants out. So that means a trade to another club for Griffin, eat humble pie and go back to the doggies or go in the PSD. W...

I want to keep Petracca. 2 picks not enough. 3 under 22 very tempting though

With Ryan Griffin wanting to go to GWS, the Bulldogs would want adequate compensation. This would probably involve Pick 4. This should surely help us to keep pick 1 but make it harder to get 3 picks under 23? Peoples' thoughts?

Ticks all the boxes. Sensible kid to boot. Can't see a suitable swap of picks.When on a good thing stick to it!(Apologies to Louey the fly)

I want Petracca. But surely we have the whip hand, so if GWS want him so badly they need to pay overs, eg CAMERON AND SHIELDS or HOSKIN ELLIOT etc. Jaksch and and Orourke have played only a few games and shown very little to date.

The AFL was formed in 1990, 25 seasons ago. Bris bears/lions,Carlton, Melbourne and Sydney have 3 wooden spoons. St.Kilda, Fitzroy, GWS and Richmond 2 spoons and Collingwood, Western Bulldogs, West Coast, Fremantle and Gold Coast have 1 each. So we've got a second spoon big deal. Two in 25 years is ...

Beau Maister dropped but not listed in Sandy side? Injured, rested? Good news Spencer White returns to the Development side.

If Gwilt is left to play on Darling,Cox, Natanui or Kennedy, the selectors should be shot. Time to let Bruce have a go. There were no options last year, this year is different. If not Bruce play Stanley down there for a week and bring in Longer. Roberton and Savage obvious omissions. Is Fisher nearl...

Treat all our new recruits like Christmas presents and wish them well for next year. And buy a membership to support them and all our regulars. Its fun being a sainter!

Have a friend who is a Swannies supporter, who said she hoped that we didn't take him on in any capacity as he was full of himself and spoke out when he shouldv'e kept quiet. A dangerous person with a microphone around. Then, apparently there was Mrs. J who pushed him to say things about his club. S...

If Weller comes on board one of TDL, Dunell or Shenton (rookie) has to go. Which one will it be? I'd give him a go myself.

With the brilliant trading period now over, with our new defenders and highly anticipated new midfielders to come, are the following ever going to get a game?:- Ferguson, Shenton, Dunnell and Dennis-Lane. Its going to be tough for Minchington, Siposs, Milera, Simpkin, Maister too, but their good for...

Theme song " I see Red" SPLIT ENZ for our NZ friends

Stated on SEN last night(Darren Parkin) that Tom Ledger had learnt via Twitter that he'd been delisted. If this is so this is a very poor act by the club especially when our new president wants to improve our communication standards.
