no 16 so not as good as 15

If we snare a first round pick for Luke Ball - it'd be effectively swapping Luke Ball for Andrew Lovett which I'd happily take.

Accepted less money and shorter deal for a shot the flag - well chosen young man

Can't wait to see him shoving the ball down our forwards throats.

Neither! Or kicking them himself after a long run down the wing!

Yep I was going to add that - but I knew some intelligent soul would do that for me

Can anyone whip up a photoshop of him in a saints guernsey?

Gilbert The Great · Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:00pm

should be able to play for 5 years as well, which is good

Does this mean we will pass on Peake?

Double win!!

Sainterman · Post: # 842384Post **Sainterman** » Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:02pm

Nice one in a thin draft with our window well and truly open!

Now on to Bally, we might just be able to upgrade tat pick 16 to pick 14 depending on what happens with Jolly. I think that might work out well for us.

Welcome aboard Andrew!

SainterK · Post: # 842386Post **SainterK** » Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:02pm

Once you pull on a Saints jumper, I am willing to give you a go...all the best

Animal Enclosure · Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:03pm

Outstanding!

Well done to Ross & Drainy!

Welcome on board Andrew.

With Bally's trade still to come we're in a very good position to land another quality player and or 1st round draft pick.

Batnoe · Post: # 842388Post **Batnoe** » Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:03pm

Started late in footy terms so will have a few years more left. Should play until he is 32/33 as has only been in system since 04

Averages 1 goal a game and .8 behinds so a midfielder that averages 2 shots at goal a game is not bad for a stkilda mid

over 2 tackles and 21 touches a game and deadly quick

Goose is king · Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:04pm

I am happy we have him.

First round pick?

Oh well, welcome Lovett.

In hindsight we should of taken him last year when he would of cost us less money and a lower pick plus another year of football.

SENsei · Post: # 842391Post **SENsei** » Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:04pm

All the best to him and the Saints....but I think we've paid over the odds for him.

Such is life.

Sainterman · Post: # 842392Post **Sainterman** » Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:04pm

Interesting that they are reporting he took less money than he could have got elsewhere...wants to be part of something special.

saintly · Post: # 842393Post **saintly** » Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:05pm

still ins't he a bit too old for a first round draft pick?

joffaboy · Post: # 842394Post **joffaboy** » Tue 06 Oct 2009 5:06pm

We need pace in the midfield.

Happy with that trade.

Lovett needs to pull his head in though. Got a second chance at Essendon and still misbehaved this year.

He has to realise that he only has a couple of years of his career left and to win a flag he has to play by the Saints rules.

Michael Gardiner should be straight into his ear about what it takes to stay at the Saints.

Welcome A.Lovett. Keep your nose clean and help us win that long hoped for flag.
