Get Haselby and then allow Dal Santo to play more of an outside role, and use his evasive skills to advantage. Ditto Joey.
Neither Dal or Joey are that quick. A bit quicker than pedestrian, but they are not speedsters by any stretch of the imagination.
Still Hasleby would be a fair replacement for Thommo and at a 3rd round pick he wouldn't be a bad price.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

They offered us a second rounder and we wouldn't take it. What makes you think they'll take a second rounder for Hasleby? Hasleby's a much better player than Black, even when he's not 100%. They'll want pick 9, and I imagine they'd rather he left via the PSD than take a mid second round pick for him.
You never know what we will end up with pick wise after Judd's decision today. Moving #9 to someone for a player/ later 1st round selection may see us end up with multiple 2nd round picks.
I suppose we also need to consider Armo's development as a player. He's not a jet but a reasonably quick inside mid so having Hasleby in front of him may see us with a glut of hard nosed mids with limited legspeed.

Hmmmm. Dunno. Mightn't have enough natural discipline to be a drinker as well as an athlete.
having a few beers after the season is ok brother you got to let your hairs down too
if anyone cares what i think i reckon he would be a good pick up for a second round draft pick or a third plus ok player and about $250K a years with bonues for number of matches played
anyway he has to get here first it doesnunt really matter what the palyer wants if the clubs wont deal but he has the psd to revert to and i dont think richmond or carlton or melbourne will want him they want young players
best he go to a club what will be finals contenders next year and he is just a top up type player to a good base which is the saints
I would be reluctant to let a 2nd rounder go for him. Maybe a downgrade/upgrade pick swapping situation would do something
Getting Haselby for a 2nd rounder would be an absolute steal, so i dont see where the reluctance lies. A 2nd round pick in not an overly strong draft for Haselby would definitely be a win for our club IMO.
I'm sick of everyone going on about how slow our midfield is, it seems that one commentator said it one day and then everyone just copied him.
Dal, Hayes, Joey and a fit Ball are not a slow midfield and anyway skill beats speed.
Add Gram, Xavier (after a pre-season) and Gilbert into the midfield rotations and we a fast enough midfield.
Now you normally never trade your draft picks but the draft this year is expected to be weaker than normal and I don't think I have ever seen a trading year as strong as this one so I think we should take a chance.
I would give up a 2nd round pick for Haselby any day of the week.
ROBERT HARVEY A.K.A The Great Man, Banger, Harves, Ol' Man River...
384 games, 4 B&F's, 3 EJ Whitten Medals, St.Kilda Captain, 2 Time Brownlow Medalist, 8 Time All Australian, 2nd Highest Brownlow votes poller.... The greatest of ALL TIME!!
You raise a good point in it not being a strong draft. Though at the same time I just don't want to miss out on a potential montagna or goose at the 2nd round(though it could go either way, like a ferguson).

I agree.
Second rounder but Harvey will play hard ball....he hates us.
Nothing more than that. If haselby really wants to play for St Kilda like it is said than Freo will have to take it. No other club would want him in the pre-season draft if he wasnt interested in playing for them so they would get nothing.....
At the risk of sounding like a total d**khead is Haselby from Vic originally??? I have gone blank
offer 2nd round pick, if not taken then move on. he is not a necessity by any means to the future of the club. just use the pic to recruit another player.....he is not worth a first round pick to us at the moment....we don't need him that much
