Welcome Dan!!!!!

[stonecold]

Like it or not, Dan is coming, so Welcome and all the best as a Saint!!!!!

[Jacks Back]

Is he willing to change his name to Jack as Dan is just confusing.

[Wayne42]

He is still a Sydney player Stonecold.

A bit of P E there on your part, Premature Excitement.

Well said Mr Austin. Dan had a medical at Moorabbin this arvo. Welcome to Moorabbin and the Saints Dan.

[fugazi]

Well it takes 2 to Tango....so what have we given up for him, if you're so sure that it's a done deal.

No worries WayneO, so your saying he's not coming then?????

[Sainter_Dad]

Word is that we have offered a future 2nd Rounder for Dan!

I like it

But knowing our luck - next year will be a stronger draft than this one - isn't it always?

[CarlD]

He passed the fitness test???

[suss]

So happy he's coming to the Saints. A 27-year-old, premiership winning, All Australian mid. Great news.

Hopefully his recruitment entices Gaff, Shiel et al to give us serious consideration. Hopefully they won't be thinking if they come to the Saints they'll be struggling in a mid-field without any elite talent.

Pick 19.

[6621104]

Just what we need - an inside midfielder who kicks on the left, is decidedly one sided, no real pace .......... oh wait!!!

LOL - no there will be some compensation picks that push it back.

He always chopped us up, every single game...I think the club has its blinkers on. Lets wait and see.

It will be a disaster, he couldnt run out of sight on a dark night

I completely agree but is sounds like he is coming so get used to it. Another broken player that will play the same role as a lot of others. Hopefully the deal falls over but if not welcome Hanners,

[desertsaint]

so that blows trading next years first rounder to get someone else or buy another first round this year. mind you next years could well be the no. 1 pick, so better keep it.

[Cairnsman]

I'm so annoyed with Hanners coming to our club. He will probably really improve our team and if we start winning games that will then probably make Richo look like a genius and that flog Finnis will take all the credit. He'll probably want to have a CEO appreciation round.

Yep or alternatively…

Hanners plays at a similar pace and level to Armo has this year and we lock up 800 K for the next 5 years on a bloke that doesn't actually improve our performance at all.

We give up next years second rounder which will be pick 20 in an excellent draft.

We trade away a couple of under-performing young players and they become stars at rival clubs.

Richo gets sacked in round 8 when we have no wins.

Membership numbers tank.

We can't attract any decent free agents because we are bottom four again.

Holy crap...nailed it Dragit!

Sadly, just about every pessimistic take on our plight of the last 5 years has been spot on. I wish the club would wake up and reset, there's no harm in admitting you gave a rebuild a crack and it didn't work out.

The rebuild didn't just not work out, it's so far tanked in spectacular fashion.

I can only assume the club's administrators have their pride, but also worry about their professional reputations after they leave St. Kilda FC, so the last thing they want to do is admit mistakes.

Surely being seen to torch the boat before you jump off does not do wonders for the resume?

there was a spanish explorer in the 16th century
who torched his 3 ships after getting to Sth America,
to stop his men from leaving. He wanted them to all settle there.

[Sainternist]

A bit of P E there on your part

Here's a bit of PE on my part. Let's bring the noise for Dan!!

Do you think maybe we're planning a small colony at Seaford?

the club could return there and try to convert the locals to our 'religion'.
I can see the interview with Bassat (or even Lethlean!)
Whateley: "What's your position on Seaford?"
Bassat: "Missionary"
