REALLY - I would think Luke would be the last kid that would have concerns about training at Seaford. He seems so down to earth and humble - if true there must be another club in his ear!
Luke Billings or Jack Dunstan? :?

The players that do not get signed must feel awfully lonely.

Hopefully a front end loaded contract so we can get a big name in a couple of years down the track.

My thoughts exactly.

Does this not show why the club and supporters are so excited about Blake's potential? There's a reason why he's so highly rated and is expected to be one of the best players taken from his draft. Barring injuries the guy will be an absolute jet. Great move by the club. Brave and getting on the front foot.

Very happy with this, especially given he is a WA boy and the lure home will always be am issue... Let him grow and prosper with the rest of our young guns and hopefully the team success from 2017 onwards binds them all together..

Along with Jack Martin, Melbourne have also signed Hogan for a significant period from memory? Also a WA boy...

Our only hope is to build a core of great young talent that want to hang fat, play together and build a new contending team at StKilda.

If Acres, Billings and Co all jump ship after a couple of seasons, then we will be headed for an exceedingly dismal decade or more...

It was the wink that gave it away wasn't it jaxons.

I would be absolutely shocked if Billings didn't sign, especially after the clause about being supplied with decent double shot skinny flat whites at least twice a day, being inserted into his contract.

He is probably the biggest name to sign so I expect him or Rooy to be last mentioned on the list.

Hi Old Mate
Will be in touch when I have news confirmed, I would hate to put anyone offside with the wrong information as so many on hear are so quick to scream Blue Murder.
What I will say is this, Blake Acres will be No.8 next year, and Christian Pettracca will be a Saint with our No.1 pick, unless we trade it!

As I have said Knighmare had him in his potential superstars list at about 4 overall with only Hogan, Jack martin and Boyd above him, ironically all of them missed out on showing their potential through injury. If he's even better than Billings and Dunstan I will be very happy.

You know what I would hate more. Letting information out that could hurt our club. If it doesn't then I don't care. The number Acres wears certainly doesn't hurt the club.

I am shocked to read that the Saints would use the No 1 pick on the obvious No 1 pick if not traded.

Just clarifying as there was lots of talk previously about McCartin.
