The importance of Pelchin and trading this year

[Saints Angel]

It is an interesting statement from Pelchen. Makes you wonder who will be traded this week if it is not the top guys at the club.

Perhaps it will be some middle tier players who may have some currency. We will all have to wait and see what transpires.

"Yes there will be a number of changes to our list over the course of this week, but having said that I’m not sure they’ll be the players that have been mentioned."

Who is on the table.....

I LOVE TRADE WEEK!!!!
That is what we need...a number of changes to our list!
Looking forward to the rest of the week now

TBH, Ray was really disappointing this year and we have Ledger who looks like he'll be a go'er so to speak, so I won't be fussed tbh.

Peake imo deserves to stay in the side, his form mid season was mint.

Zack, I don't know... I'm not sure he values the club enough for giving him a chance. I mean, goes and farks around in NZ etc, getting smashed by Cloke etc doesn't help his reputation one bit.

you would think if we could trade for a ruck, the Kos man would be on that list too. He is important as a back up ruck but he would be looking at Sandy time if we get a key forward and a ruck. I'm a fan of Kosi but he would unfortunately be there too. Would be surprised if any of Gilbert, jones or geary went. Gilbert has up side and is young, jones worth more to us than in a trade and geary still young and developing and at an age that we lack many in.

on the table: roo, goddard



















although i think they've finished with their ops now

I read the Saints might be competing with Richmond for Adelaide's Ivan Maric ....

Only the last 5 on that list would actually have some trade currency.

St Kilda head of football Chris Pelchen had said the Saints were interested in snaring a ruckman at the trade table but Noble would not confirm if the Saints were the other interested party.

By not saying anything Noble has effectively said we are the other interested party.

Tom Lynch barracked for St.Kilda as a kid. Has family and friends here doubt he would want to go to SA when he has a fresh start with a new coach coming along.

I think Tom wants opportunity.

If Zac gets traded then I think Tom will stay & get a chance as a key defender.

Good old Ross Lyon definitely left guys like Tom Lynch on bad terms with the Saints in terms of his refusal to play anyone under 25 unless you were "banging down the door". With our list profile - we can ill afford losing anyone in their early 20s. Thanks for nothing Ross.

If that is correct then why wouldnt he stay with a new coach coming on board? You could counter argue and say he is leaving because RL isnt coaching anymore. Anyway who said he wants to go?

We have just played in 3 gf's, a prelim and an elim final. God you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

If Pelchen has any balls he will trade the following players for draft picks....

Goddard, Dal Santo, Kosi, Rooey, Dawson, Ray and Peake.

Then he will trade in at least 7 gun youngsters from the November National Draft. Here's hoping!!!!!

Can we please trade you to Big Footy for draft pick 140. Win, win for Saintsational.

I would not have an issue with getting Maric as we have all seen how good we are with two above average (at worst) ruckmen. Having MG and King or MG and Big Mac was a great advantage for us. Only having Big Mac was an advantage to the opposition as he was/is probably still too young/raw to ruck the majority of the game and give us an advantage more often than not.

i dont think he wants to go or will go.
the enquiries/interest sounds like they pre-date rosscos departure.
what im saying is - the fact adelaide were sniffing around him in the first place indicates maybe he was unhappy a few months back.

Plenty of media have claimed they are interested.

So we believe the media if it suits us but we dont if it doesnt. Anyway my point stands. Why would he want to leave if he blames RL for not getting a game.
