Seems a big price dropping 12 spots. Forget 43 that is a rubbish pick especially if we also lose Ray. I'm thinking the same thing. I'm hoping our recruiters can see something other clubs seem to have missed, or I hope they have something special planned with this pick 24 trade wise...otherwise, it'...

Eeesh...not sure about this... I'd hope we get 13 as compo for Goddard even more now. I hope that our recruiters have found a gem here, but from everything I'm hearing about his past he seems like someone who is going to get 5 games over 2 or 3 years before being delisted... Seems to me like getting...

1. Unfortunately, possibly.
2. Why?
3. Why? Because we're looking for another ruck man-cum-forward? He's also old, we need to start looking some time.

I reckon playing regular football is the appeal, St.Kilda would be a good fit for this reason & he's back in his home state. This is it I reckon. He wants to play in his home state and play 22 games a season. That is why he's chosen the Saints, we're easily the best option for that, having no-o...

Some trades we could do well with..... With GWS.. They have at this stage picks 1. 20. and the first pick in each round following. They will pick up further early picks with the 2 17 yr olds being traded out. I cant see them using any more than say 5 picks, which would include their 2nd round pick,...

So what is the deal with Caddy...lot's of people are saying he will only go to North or Cats and that he's not interested in playing for the Saints, I'm hearing from places (such as here) that he's had a few meetings with the Saints and would be happy to come here? Does anyone know anything definiti...

There have been a few threads on Caddy, and even one on Chip Frawley...but the one trade that has been consistently claimed to be all but formalised is our second rounder for Hickey. I haven't watched a huge amount of the Gold Coast, who can tell me about this guy? Is he worthwhile? Going to be a gr...

Apparently he doesn't want to go anywhere apart from Geelonh according to the HS this afternoon. If that's true, then lets push on and use our extra pick on someone who wants to come to us. When he first requested a trade I think someone from the GC said Caddy won't be too specific in picking only ...

The saints sat with Josh Caddy today, and they were super impressed with his interview, and Caddy's commitment should the saints get the deal done. It emerged late this morning that Gold Coast would potentially take pick 14 that the saints have as their first round pick, for Caddy. Why you ask? Wel...

There should be a definitive formula or at least we can contact the AFL and ask: "what do we get if, now we have lost goddard, we take on someone like rivers" Instead it seems like we will not take part in FA but keep the best pick possible, to use for a busy trade period. Fingers crossed...

I thought it was a strange comment from Ben Niall (Dawes' Manager) on Trade Week Radio to say that he had a great relationship with Scott Watters... Why would he mention that? I'm not particularly keen for Dawes, but not particularly against him either, depending on what we would have to give up. I'...

Very confused about something, if we only find out after the trade and free agency period what compensation we get for Goddard then we can't use it to get anyone else. Say we get pick 13 and like everyone says we will use it to try and get someone like Caddy. Isn't the trade period over when we get...

Are you certain? Because the activated Scully pick and the activated Callan Ward pick both came directly after those teams respective first round picks for this year.

I'm sure I heard Neil Balme on SEN say that Geelong has not activated this pick this year....anyone else hear that? correct that is why GC may trade with cats so GC have another 1st round pick in next years national draft. If they get Caddy, Rivers and McIntosh. Together with Varcoe and Menzel, who...

Sounds like whatever we do beating the Cats for Caddy wont be easy with that compo pick Depends. I'd be surprised if they used that on Caddy. That's a big thing to give up when it comes down to it....It's a lot less for us to give up pic 13 when we already have pick 12. Geelong are certainly in the...

Heard this? Made this up? Or sarcasm?

If I was to be honest, he makes me nervous. I guess it's the fact we've handed over the keys.... I keep reminding myself he put together premiership sides, but he's had his fair share of boo-boos as well. Seems in recent years more capable in picking up players from other clubs / mature age guys? D...

Have heard that Tippett is going to Collingwood, Wellingham to West Coast and Dawes to Adelaide, with an exchange of picks. Interesting. Dawes to Adelaide a strange one, they need a second ruckman/forward...something Dawes is not. Would be better developing Coreys younger brother....but clubs do st...

He's not a free agent so it's primarily Adelaide that we need to convince. I would definitely be making enquiries, would love to get him.

I'd take the opposite inference from that...

Is this confirmed or speculation? If we offer the best trade...he may not have much of a choice.

Can someone explain to me why the best we can do is pick #13? Surely a no.1. draft pick who has consistently performed at the top and been in the top performers of his team is worthy of a top 10 pick, possibly even pick # 5. I read the AFLPA info and it says the pick no is up to the discretion of t...

But radio tonight
strong info that saints want Caddy and hickey for #13 aand a player?

What station was that? And were there any thoughts bandied about as to which player that may be?

artical on the afl website saying that we are in for both him and Caddy.. id be very happy to lose a compo pick and a second rounder for those 2 I'd be happy with that too, but I think it's unlikely. Problem is, Hickey is only worth a second rounder (which it is reported that we may be able to get ...

SEN are suggesting Caddy for Pick 13 but given radio talk last night suggesting he DOES NOT want to come to the saints - where does that stand.... Then he doesnt come. The player must agree as well as the clubs. Does he really? Stephen King comes to mind...you can be pretty sure he did not want to ...
