It's official. Pick 77.
Welcome Luke. May your stay be a long and prosperous one

[BigMart]

Makes the Dal deal easier to swallow... He is just the Shane Savage of that deal... But who knows, he could be an answer...

Sound trading

[savatage]

Like.

[Saint 58]

Finally

Now Longer & Bruce please !!!

[Stillwaiting]

Pleased he is finally a Saint, just wish they would hurry up with the other yrades

[chook23]

slightly in our favour if you listen to the "experts"

he was rated about 60 in this draft

he could have cost pick 59 stand alone

if he turns out will be a bonus...............................been in the system for a while not playing many games.

wish him well...your door of opportunity is open

[starsign]

Gee if he plays anywhere near like the highlight tape every week we've got a goodun!

[SainterK]

2 years without a key defender, what was with the Delaney?

[Dr Spaceman]

From playing with many Roos to playing alongside the greatest Roo of them all!

Congrats Luke and welcome aboard

Hopefully he will be the Dempster of the deal!

yep...it's official...and in the hun too...

[evertonfc]

So, for Dal Santo, we got Pick 26-ish and Delaney.

....like we thought all along, hey? North may not even use Pick 77.

Happy with that.

[Junction Oval]

I am just glad that the deal has been done. Welcome Luke.

Dal for Pick 25 and a young Delaney at pick 77, not a bad deal in the circumstances. It's still sad to see Saints stalwarts being "pushed out."

haha, well played

[BigMart]

Dempster was a Premiership player in the Swans best 22

Delaney is not in the Kangaroos 22 or future plans

That being said, he can take an opportunity here... And perhaps prove them wrong. He has every opportunity..,,, Zac did it

Scott Thompson did it also. North would have been more than happy to keep Delaney but couldnt afford to in the end.

[Hurricane]

Welcome big fella.

Comes to us having been in the system long enough to walk into the true full back spot and not look lost. Fantastic to have a true KPP who can free up Fisher and Gwilt to make an impact without having to play on gorillas and put their bodies under undue stress.

Highlight package is extremely encouraging o say the least. Who knows what he may become with regular footy under his belt. Great deal Saints

BANG BANG

[saintspremiers]

We've got little to lose. Pick 77 is normally for duds.

[borderbarry]

My only query is.....why the hell did'nt we try and get him last year instead of preparing to give away everything for Brown..

Why was Delaney offered a contract at Kangaroos then?

Dempster was a fringe player. Constantly in and out of the team. In fact most people on this forum had hardly any idea about him before we landed him.

[Jacks Back]

Welcome Luke. He may know the boy from Lorne as he also played with the Geelong Falcons

[Con Gorozidis]

I guess like Brown - he was contracted.

Luckily West Coast were foolish and let us off thew hook.

As it turns out we get Delaney + Spencer White instead of Mitch Brown.


Surely it fell in our favour?

Some luck going our way for once!

We've got little to lose. Pick 77 is normally for duds.

But then given our past record so will be pick 3.

So, for Dal Santo, we got Pick 26-ish and Delaney.

....like we thought all along, hey? North may not even use Pick 77.

Happy with that.

Let's not tell Demetriou that part of the deal to let Dal Santo go for nothing, as a free agent, was they give us Delaney for a nothing pick in return.

North gain Dal Santo and pick77 for Delaney.
We gain and Delaney and pick 25 for Dal Santo.
Win-win.
