We Are Not Giving Up Pick 1

[damienc]

I am going to make a prediction. In fact I am going to make two predictions.

GWS is not going to give up three picks to get pick 1. And St Kilda is not going to settle for anything less.

In other words if the Giants want to live up to their name they are going to have to hand over 4,6 and 7. I reckon they might have offered two out of three but we are playing hardball and insisting on three out of three.

So, that means we keep pick 1. It also means we are going to take Christian Petracca, the only guy I can see who is on our radar for that slot. I am pretty confident he is the name they want to read out rather than McCartin or Wright or Brayshaw

Clearly we rate him with good reason. He is the stand out player in the November draft by some considerable margin, when you add up all of the skills he will bring to the table. He has the X factor. The Saints know this so it is going to take something really exceptional to make the Saints give it up.

Realistically the only club that has a chance of getting pick 1 would be GWS. And unless they are prepared to pay 3 for the price of one, they don't have a deal.

Either way for the St Kilda football club this is a win win. We will either get three draft picks in the top ten, if by some miracle GWS is willing to pay overs, or we get to keep a player who I am convinced will be an absolute superstar.

Makes sense Damien

i hope to gawd you are right...but with our selectors...who knows...

[Bernard Shakey]

We'll give them 1 and 21 for 4, 6 and 7.

[Con Gorozidis]

If 4,6,7 was really offered - we simply have to take it.

But I really doubt GWS would do that deal.

So most likely
The Pet-Detective, 21, 22

And we simply MUST nail at least one of 21/22.

If not were in deeeeep trouble. Even if Pet is a star.

[Old Mate]

We would be mad to give up the rights to Petracca for 4 & 6. Obviously need 7 to be involved to force our hand.

[magnifisaint]

We'll give them 1 and 21 for 4, 6 and 7.

more logical to give them 22 instead of 21 if they want an extra pick

[Razzledazzle]

The Saints can give up pick 1 but at the right price.Reasonable supporters will disagree what the right price might be. For mind recruiters should go hard and if GWS cough them up I say the price is 4,6 and 7. Bit of dream I know. Go Sainters !!

Pelchen has already rejected multiple picks inside 15

Clearly that was Gold Coast offering picks 8 and 15.

GWS will want to offer only 6 & 7.
This must be rejected also.

[groupie1]

I reckon, with the Boyd deal done, we will keep No. 1 so we make a certainty of drafting McCartin.
Don't rule out a late minute trade of player/s and 21/22 to GWS for at least one of their inside 10 picks.

[Jacks Back]

OP was spot on. (where's the thumbs up smilie)?
