OFFICIAL: Andrew Lovett - Traded for 1st rounder (Pick 16)

Animal Enclosure · Wed 07 Oct 2009 11:18am

Don't be surprised if after winning the flag next year we come under some severe salary cap pressure & are forced into trading some reasonable players for draft picks.

We are in a very good position to have a sustained period of success during the GC17 & WS18 affected years & when the inevitable down period comes we will be able to take part in uncompromised drafts.

Maybe..maybe not.

OMO our main chance ata flag is while we still have BOTH Lenny and roo in their prime.

They are our best two players.

How long Roo's knee last who knows.

Trade week usually makes me feel a touch bilious, but I have a good feeling about Lovett.

Lovett will be wearing #9

How many of us would have gone if the club had an official presentation for Andy Lovett at Moorabbin?

They could sell a few guernseys with number 9 on the back, get some Andy Lovett t-shirts made etc etc

Maybe get him onto the oval for a bit of a kick in front of the cameras.

Clubs could make some money out of these occasions.

Was Fraser the last number 9?
Also does anyone know if TV crews were at the jumper presentation?

Lyon said he was happy to have Lovett join the Saints but he would not guarantee him anything.

â€œFrom here it is going to be about the actions now. We donâ€™t want to talk too much," the coach said.

"Andrew will come and do a good pre-season and earn his spot in the team. Nothing will be gifted but we will provide every opportunity and resource for Andrew to play his best footy."
