32 & 47 for 28 & 58
F2 (StK) for 45 & F4 (ESS).
F4 (StK) for 60

You can also add the pick swap pre draft 27 for 32 & 45.
It doesn’t look major but it’s just making the most of what you have.

We also traded our future 4th for the Patrick Said pick, added it to your list. Sign of confidence we sent ours and not Essendon's

 

[Saints TV]

Seven new faces have been welcomed into the club over the last week. Plus a new crest. Lots happening down at Moorabbin and it's very exciting. Oh and Damian Barrett has a swing at the club again.

 

[hangdog]

Have the Saints made any comments on Adrian Cole and Elwood Peckett?

What’s the key outtakes from Ralph’s article? Dang paywall

What’s the key outtakes from Ralph’s article? Dang paywall

Not sure what the article says but we gifted him a game in round 1 which guaranteed him a contract for next year. We’re paying him either way so it really doesn’t matter which list he’s on.

 

[saintmike65]

Absolutely there goodie23.

He was making way way to much sense.

Loved how he was jealous of our overall pics....he gave us a tremendous rap.

He certainly knows his stuff.....it was a very enjoyable listen.

Look out Cal.........

Dylan’s a great talent..always enjoy his work on YouTube!

 

[Remboy]

More sense than a lot of the pundits who failed to recognise there wasn't a top tier mid available at our picks and we simply drafted best available rather than reaching.

I saw some of his pre draft work and he was very good. Seemed to have much more awareness of club needs than many journos.

 

[bergholt]

Exactly. Is there a rundown of our live trading anywhere? Seems to have been glossed over on the night, I'm sure I've missed some trades.

It's all here

Yeah but we can still pay him and have him not on any list, which would theoretically free up a spot for another. That said, we can also just stick him on the long-term injured list and have the same spot, so you're right.

Another pointless and speculative article from Jon Ralph 26/11 naming potential 10 targets for Saints.

is still yet to sign with Freo. Last week when The Boss was talking about doing what Geelong do with Cotton On etc as far as extra perks for players and/or partners, families, made me think of Brayshaw. Reckon we might be a decent show there.

I'd take LDU or TDK. I'd consider Allen depending on a medical on his knee because it sounds like it could be heading down the Crouch path.

Shocked not to see Miles Bergman on this list. Had a big swing at him last time he was OOC.

Local boy. Still young. High draft pick. Runs all day. Can play multiple roles.

Would not at all be surprised to see him in a Saints jumper in 2026

I believe he bought a house in Brighton just recently??

Bring it on. When does trade week start?

Add LDU, TDK and Brayshaw to the list next year. What are our odds for the 2026 flag? I’m loading up!

Tobie Tavaglia on SEN Breakfast 22/11

Hahaha so both Tauru and Trav got asked the same question by the Blues... (would you dob a mate in)

Sounds like they gave different answers though !

Although Trav backtracked.

 

[beside the seaside]

I believe he bought a house in Brighton just recently??

There's been talk that Freo are very confident, but until he's signed on the dotted line we can hope...

 

[saintmike65]

Hawthorn will be studied significantly over the off-season after their run. Often teams who have these sorts of seasons are worked out in the next year. They're still young and progress is usually not linear for young teams.

They do seem to get things right though. Casting Clarko aside for Sam Mitchell has been a great move. I'm hoping our transition to Enright can be similar in the next 3-4 years (ideally I'd love to keep Lyon in a consulting type role though).

The boss would be a terrific director of coaching appointment but doubt it would interest him

We were confident with Battle too!!
