Are we in the running for pick 1 at all?
I still want Boyd at the club so much...

No love for Dustin Martin from 17 clubs, & i'm aware he's a bloody good footballer..
But fair dinkum if you've got half a brain, go on a bender with some low profile boys not Martin & Chips..!!
Armo's a good, solid player who gives nothing less than 110% on field, but is 26 next year..
Viv Michie get's a mention with the Saints..
ST KILDAThe Saints are open for business.
They are rebuilding and could shed several longtime servants in exchange for younger talent or high draft picks.
They have also signalled they would be willing to part with their first-round pick – No. 3 – but only if they receive an extraordinary offer.
Veteran midfielders Nick Dal Santo and Leigh Montagna could be up for trade, along with defender Sam Fisher.
They desperately need key defenders, and unsuccessfully tried to get Collingwood back man Nathan Brown, after failing to lure his brother Mitch from West Coast last year.
Giants backman Josh Bruce is enthusiastic about a future with the Saints, while North Melbourne defender Luke Delaney is also on the radar. Fremantle midfielder Viv Michie might also come into calculations.
Last year St Kilda lost restricted free agent Brendon Goddard to Essendon. As compensation it received pick 13, which it wrapped up with picks 37 and 57 to get Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey and picks 24 (Nathan Wright) and 47.
The Saints also picked up Claremont forward Tom Lee, who was pre-listed by the Giants, and picks 25 and 46 in exchange for its first selection at No. 12; along with Swans speedster Trent Dennis-Lane for pick 47; ex-Eagle Jamie Cripps and pick 46 for selections 41 and 44; and former Dockers free agent Dylan Roberton. - BC

Very, um, clever!Its something slightly less than an 11 game contract.
( sorry, couldnt help myself )
This is like getting called short by Ronnie Corbett.
Free agency starts this Friday, trade period Monday.This Friday isn't it?
Very, um, clever!
But this is the first I have ever heard of such a thing. Does that mean they pay him for 10 games only? What if he plays 11 etc etc?

You're not exactly flush with cash though. Dals contract is easily money you can be pumping into your football department etc to expedite the development of your youngsters.
I can't believe you said that, we'd be no chance to get him, if we at least displayed some interest..no point interviewing the kid if were no chance to get him
There is little margin for underpaying on the salary cap. Correct me if I am wrong, but don't all clubs have to pay 90-100% of the cap each year, under the agreement with the players association?
Both Lee & Hickey in 12 months will be regarded as justified trades, their last month left no doubt in my mind..Huh, I'm surprised they didnt just go with old "traded pick 13 for Hickey and traded pick 12 for Tom Lee". That said, hypothetically if we did pay pick 12 and only got Lee without those 2 other picks I wouldn't be upset, his finish to the year was excellent. Reminded me of Gunston, slotted them from all over the ground.

FFS....!!!!Hi everyone,
I don't post oven but I read the posts on this forum daily. I have read Brian Speaking's posts and after what I have just heard on SEN, I am worried about my gel bed club. Marco said he had heard that the Saints are in dire financial trouble, so much so that they may not even be able to write a cheque for anything. He also said that he had heard from a reliable source that Too is unhappy and collingwood think that he is gettable. I know some of you may say its all crap that and Marco knows nothing, but with a culmination of Finey's rant, the posts on here from what appears to be those in the know, Nettlefolds resignation, it's too much to just sweep under the rug, David Swartz also eluded to Water and otr officials not being on the me page. I hope today's review helps to turn this all around.
Correct me if I've misunderstood how money works.
Moneys got nothing to do with it .
You get Dal , so we get to buy 3 new footys and a box of elastoplast bandaids . Thats a win win NOT!!!!!
Lets not squabble over wich of us is poorer , just offer us something good and fair and your club gets a good player and a top bloke .
I can't believe you said that, we'd be no chance to get him, if we at least displayed some interest..
Well what do you know, it was a load of bullshit
