A Star Recruit for 2014

Why hot try to get Buddy, Cotchin and Hamish Hartlett?

[saintsRrising]

Remember at the end of the 2000 season, when the club threw the checkbook and signed the G-Train and the Hammer (not to mention a mercenary scumbag coach)?

Both players proved to be a big hit, particularly G-Train. Whether or not they both played to their full potential is up for debate. I would say G-Train did. They definitely both contributed to getting the club some much needed onfield success.

How did we actually get them?.

Answer: Well the key reason was the " mercenary scumbag coach". That Blight was to be coach was a powerful reason in them and other coming. In turn Waldron and Co lured Blight in addition to the $million with the promise of good players.

Hamill was mightily pissed off when Blight was sacked.

However there were other reasons. Elliot and Hamill had a huge fall out. At their B&F if I recall correctly. The Blues could have signed Hamill early in the year for less money, but chose to wait. We then offered more money, and this combined with Elliot's big mouth and the lure of Blight got him to us.

GTrain had the come home to Vic factor plus more money.


So for us to get a good player or two:

Look for the come home factor, or the disgruntled player.

Why not offer some money for them. They all came for our stars- give some of the pain of list management back.

Let's go for someone else early draft choices.
after all the success with Fiora and Ray why change?

Dont forget Dean Polo! 20th pick.

We are also good at spending high picks on other teams low picks (Lee and Lovett).
Dont forget that either

[perfectionist]

Joel Selwood and Brad Sewell.

Spot on. A happy player will never leave. But if you look around you can sometimes find an unhappy gun. That should be our aim,

Anyone know how Dayle Garlett is going in Wafl? Could be a way of getting some a grade talent (albeit wayward)

He had 30 touches and 2 goals this week

Not sure what he had after game though

We also got Wright (or White) and Saunders with the Lee deal, but dont let the facts cloud a good story bro.

I wont!

I was just having a laff on that bit. Looks like that was a good move by us.

Come on, this is St Kilda. We won't snag a big fish!
But guaranteed we will use high draft picks selecting (or trading for) decidedly average players with very normal sounding names. Expect guys like Tim Roberts, John Black and Peter Murray to be clogging our list next year!

[Moorabbin Man]

Midfielders and Gumbleton.
