How many can be on the rookie list? The pies have 8 on the website? Could we down-grade a few of our underwhelming seniors? Cahill/Heyne Heyne is likely to be rookied given that he is contracted for another year. Cahill is almost certain to get the chop if Sandringham observers are anything to go by.

Whoops - Baker was a veteran so outside the list.

A minimum of two must be delisted.

These are all rookies - removing them doesn't fix our senior list position or salary cap. You'd think all except maybe Andreoli would go around again.

Facts every club has to make 3 spaces available to be used in the draft ( Carlton have to ditch someone) Gone from St Kilda Gardiner, Eddy McQualter Baker Lynch Walsh so in fact no more need to be - EXCEPT--- Salary Cap during trade week St Kilda went from having 3 picks under 68 to having 6 picks ...

Milney at the end after making AA, I think not.

Nope... he tried to talk Walsh out of walking and was unsuccessful.

Watters finally on... Senses a lot of optimism amongst the players as has been reported. Rhys Stanley, Arryn Siposs, Jamie Cripps, Tom Ledger are the players he named and threw down the gauntlet to challenge for spots in the team. He liked Lynch but can't cry over spilt milk. His outside perception ...

3AW haven't got to interviewing Scotty... there's still time to tune in.

Saad was my first thought, MM.

On 3AW in a couple of minutes too.

I don't see how we are going to get salary cap relief by delisting 20-year olds.

More like 25-year olds. Which is why Dawson and Ray are in a Mexican stand-off.

Their decisions will no doubt affect the club's decisions elsewhere with the list.

Gamble and Polo would be on minimum wage.

I'm a bit suprised that we bothered with the pick 68 from Sydney for Walsh. Surely we won't us it anyway? Though perhaps we were looking to bundle up some of our second rounders for a higher pick.... Reckon we got 68 as a possible rookie up-grade pick for Darch Doesn't make sense. We can use whatev...

Isaac Smith was a first round selection in 2010 wasn't he?

Sorry. Right team, wrong bloke.

I was thinking of Shane Savage.

Still cant agree with you, 2006 was worse than any year. Armitage at pick 9, brad howard 27, jarryd allen 59, mathew ferguson 74 and thats it. and in 2004 our first 3 picks got us mcqualter, ackland and mcgough.

I blame John Peake! Our first round picks from the two years under his watch are now torched in the space of a week. Although 2009's pick 16 was already burnt, Walsh was the justification for gambling with it. Saints must be looking for draft picks after missing other deals - delistings to come. Do...

Lost a couple of prospects, added a couple of prospects, added some draft picks. At a guess I'd say the team went in looking for interest in mid-tier players for picks and didn't get it. Both players that were traded out were reported as requesting the move. That's probably not a bad thing. Where's ...

This wasn't about Tommy wanting to move. This was about the Saints running out of options and needing the draft picks. Tommy went because he had market value.

Delistings to come - bank on it.

saintDal wrote:Not only do we lose Tommy Walsh we get f*** all for him as well

We get picks.

They will get used - guaranteed.

25, 35, 37, 42, 60, 68.

By my count that's at least four more delistings on the way.

In all seriousness, maybe Nettlefold is there in regards to contracts? That is my only explanation for it. That's Bains's area. I can only think that Nettlefold is there as mediator. There may be conflicting views between the footy department stakeholders (Pelchen, Bains, Elshaug, Watters) as to wh...

maybe there won't be any

Nettlefold is present. Why would he be there?

It's fair odds there is one last shot to fire, and it will be big.

borderbarry wrote:Any indication the Saints are still involved in Trading? Usually by now the clubs no longer involved have packed up.

Just reported that there is a large Saints contingent.

Bizarre trade... Melbourne give Matthew Warnock away for pick 52, both Brisbane and Gold Coast have gained a player and upgraded a pick!
