Trade with the bombers

It is in both Dal Santo's and St Kildas and Essendon or North or whoevers interest to use the Free Agency option.

My reading of his contractural situation is that he has satisfied the clauses in the contract to enable the optional year to be triggered however that contract extension has yet to be lodged with the AFL and may not be if St Kilda and Dal by mutual agreement wish to go down the Free Agency path. If either party decide they want to trigger the contract then it is triggered and he will stay a Saint. So in any discussions with other clubs Saints and Dal hold the whip hand as opposed to the BJ situation where he could play both sides off against each other.

This Scenario sees
Dal Santo garaunteed big money and at least 3 years - thanks to the end of round 1 compensation requirements Saints will demand to let him go.
Saints get end of round 1 compo pick they want plus the ability to use the lure of Free Agency as leverage in trade for Delany or Myers or Pears or whoever
Ess Nth Whoever gets Dal for free (as long as they have the cap space) and possibly agreeing to a lop sided trade for Delany or Myers or Pears or whoever to sweeten the deal for the Saints

Ultimately it is every other club that pays the price for this by moving one spot further down the draft order from the second round on.

If this happens mind you the AFL will kill the compo picks dead before the next years trade period. We should make sure we benefit from this quirk in the free agency rules while it lasts.

That's well and good but the big winners are Essendon.
Why should we help out a club who have just been involved in the most disgraceful club behaviour in AFL history.
We gave them Goddard last year and to give them Dal Santo this year would make us the laughing stock of the competition.

If Essendon want Dal Santo then make them pay.

Con; I hate you man. Can't you see that these guys have credits in the bank.

Why do you want to trade our older players Con when they have given their all for us? We'll get a 'great coach' come to St Kilda and you watch - Joey, Rooy and Lenny and Schnieds and Chips will spark up and we might get Milney and Blake back just like Ross got gtrain to come out of retirement.

Also Con; you just don't know anything about footy like the commentators on the radio and in the papers who understand that it's a great coach that makes a team. That's why Rooy and Joey are on the telly all the time. Don't you understand that these guys are needed to show the younger guys how to do media interviews and be part of channel 7's coverage on Saturday nights.

And I betcha Con if Saints get a new coach he will turn Macca into the best ruckman going round and our players won't miss a target because our new coach will be the difference...but you just don't get it Con!!!!

Afl should really look into their salary cap. Do they want to cheat anymore?

[matrix]

thats a big f****** 'no deal' from me
waltzing st kilda is right

deadset clowns if this happens

[sainter#4]

If crameri goes to the dogs - there talking about a first round pick for him. Could easily package a late first rounder and a decent player then for dal

[Kernal75]

No way will they pass on a late first rounder and a player for Dal. They will want to hold onto that and use it in the draft. I think the deal as mentioned will be what their pushing down our throat! We should hold our nerve and say no deal!!

[fugazi]

What happened to the North deal for Dal?...surely they have more to offer.
