I think Dal To North via Free Agency

And this!

2013 Offseason News ‏@theafloffseason
BREAKING

North Melbourne are set to acquire Nick Dal Santo as a free agent

That is not an official news source. They just recycle.

[dragit]

Lets not kid ourselves... It's happening.

Came from Barrett first. It's happening!

[citywest]

2pm and atleast we will know if if we get something (via trade or stay at the club) or nothing (free agency) personally hope he stays

We win either way......

Unless we get #22 we dont win.

If it is anything less we should keep Dal.

Next year he is an unrestricted FA and if he goes (he still may contract to the Saints who knows?) and we get a Band 3, well we got an extra season out of him for no loss of a draft pick place.

I would really like to keep Dal. Dont let those smarmy arses from North get him for nothing.

It's not about winning Joffaboy, it's about getting the best deal for Saints. Do you really think there is much of a difference between pick 22 and 26?

We gave 2 top picks for Barry Brooks yet for Montagna we used a pick in the 30's if my memory serves me correct.

At least we'll know either way within 2 hours!

Damien Barrett trying to sound like a news breaker saying on twitter we will see something happen soon with Dal re free agency - no Sh*t Sherlock the free agency period finishes at 2pm!

"The Saints will be given a compensation pick for losing Dal Santo – most likely a pick after their second round selection."

Gee, we played hard ball there.

[SideshowMilne]

f no! crap outcome

[luc1966]

Yep well worth the two week wait

[elvis lives]

more evidence of our "very aggresive" approach to this years trading period? Hard to be aggresive when you are bending over

Yeah it sounds pretty piss weak to me, I hope there is more to the deal than just that.

Not happy

[sainterinsydney]

I assume they will give us Delaney for a pick in the 50s.

[ShanghaiSaint]

looks like it's done.. sad day imo...

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/n ... 2vray.html

gone as a free agent we get a compo pick.

[MC Gusto]

Let's just wait the details shall we?!

[borderbarry]

collingwood get 11 for Daisy and we get 22 for Dal, a two time top three finisher in the Brownlow. Seems fair! Not.

[spert]

NDS is near the end of his career and is not going to contribute to our future finals campaigns, so best to move on and grab a player or two who can go forward with us.

[FQF]

I hope pick 25 is a star.

[joffaboy]

Really dissapointed if this is the case

[plugger66]

I would guess North will now either delist Delaney or take a pick that we certainly wont use. Then both players get to the clubs without cost to either club.

St Kilda had their hands tied. Forget about being sentimental. In this day and age HTFU
