We could make the jump but I just wouldn't bet on it.

Pick 7 Stephenson, Pick 8 Coffield. Would be STOKED with those two. Both could be guns. Tall, Athletic, fast.

NO: Motlop, Trengove, Menzel
YES: ROCKYbut going to carlton, KELLY staying, LEVER to melbounre (WTH WHY?), STRINGER to geelong??, ABLETT to geelong

Matera, Alir Alir? Not very exciting. We better not get geelongs or Carltons crap that they move on to upgrade. We have the best cgraders in AFL time for A-Graders or nothing.
#dissapointing.
Not so impressed with the Tall, Athletic and Fast maybe we should try to get Usain Bolt if he is available. My question is can Stephenson and Coffield get the ball and kick on both sides of their bodies CONSISTENTLY.

THE TARGET
There’s one Giant who would go a long way to boosting the Saints. Josh Kelly’s class would be welcomed at Seaford, with the Saints regularly linked to the soon-to-be out-of-contract star midfielder who is maintaining that no decision will be made until the end of the season. He grew up in Melbourne’s bayside area of Sandringham, which St Kilda will be hoping helps their case, while hold picks seven and eight at the draft table which could help in getting the deal done.

If we don't get Kelly there was a bloke playing today for one of Port Melbourne or Williamstown (II can't remember which...lol) that looks a lot like Kelly only with a bit of a beard. Not sure he's much good though.

Can any ITK source confirm if we have serious interest in Gaff only just saw that his agent reckons Acres and Pick 7 or 8 would get the job done. Personally I'm a fan of blake but this would be hard to turn down.

That would be the worst deal ever. Every chance Acres will be as good as Gaff and is younger.

I've watched Gaff closely over the past couple of weeks. Gets heaps of the pill but massive seagull.

:mrgreen: Gaff for a 1st round pick only and possibly a fringe player. Take it Saints. He is only 25 and averages 30 touches a week. Tons of talk coming out of WA that the Eagles need to regenerate their list big time. Lets pounce on it.

Pick 4 2010 draft and ex Oakleigh Charger. He is what we need and better than alot of what we have.

We might be able to do better in the draft though.

About as good as Lovett for pick 16

Hands off Blake. Will be a top player if/ when he chooses to do what it takes.

Please just use Pick 7 and 8 on the draft, particular on midfielders. We need quality young players like Billings and Newnes

The report was that we'd put forward a 3 year deal to Jake's manager that is slightly higher than the Cats offer, but we weren't confident in getting him.

there is no way we'd be looking at pick 8 plus acres for gaff.

not a hope in hell the saints would entertain that trade.

Gaff's disposal is on par with Gilbert's. No thanks.

Someone who hangs around on the fringes looking to steal the easy ball, like a seagull who hangs around waiting to pinch a chip. Most of us will have had what's called a "seagull manager". Flies in, squawks loudly, s***s on everyone, does nothing, steals your ideas and then flies away again.
