At the local pub last night they had some good deals on beers, one of them being Saint Kilda Brew. anyone seen or had? Their not the best, but look sick. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/saintdooley/saint-kilda-brew.jpg http://www.saintkildabrew.com/ I have a few times, nothing to rave about...

AFL site now saying two other clubs are interested in Hickey and its not a done deal. Last thing we want is a bloody bidding war... trading is not quite going according to plan thus far is it? I don't know if that is the case really. I don't think we'll be super active until we actually know what o...

Damienc.........Trust me.........No one except those in our footy/recruitment department has any clue of which players we are after.............all those players you mentioned came out of the fertile imaginations of some journos and offcource Saintsational forumites..........hang in there and we wi...

I wouldn't mind a run around, how many people do we have?

With Daniher going to the Dons, Viney to the Dees and Hunter going to the Dogs, and with the talk in some other threads about players like Ablett being father son picks...it has me thinking. I'm sure this has been talked about in years past, but does anyone know if we have any potential father son p...

How dare they do what the system squarely allows them to do!

With Caddy now gone, Jacobs looking like he wants to stay at Port, Stevens wanting to go home & Pickering reiterating Brown's desire to be a Saint, IMHO we should really concentrate on getting a deal with WCE for Brown & Stevens. We should also still target Hickey of course. Hickey is out o...

Mitch Brown doesnt want to spend another year at East Freo - that is for sure. But the Eagles can force him to if they want. Absolutely. Depends whether or not that really is in their best interests. Keep a player who does not want to be there? Probably not the best thing. Maybe they'll try to conv...

Seems Mitch is still very keen to get to the Saints, or get out of WC at least... I'm thinking a deal will get done somewhere along the line once WC lose the chip on their shoulder... He'll walk a year later and they'll get nothing otherwise.. Should get through.. Heard the same thing. Despite WCE ...

Cripps & 13 for Brown, Stevens & 38 24 for Jacobs 34 & 38 for Hickey, Toy & 44 Ray for Gysberts Leaves us 43, 44, 53 & so on plus 6 pretty handy players under 24. Won't happen though! Your first one might, if we were to offer it. I don't think we will though. 34 & 38 for Hic...

Someone posted this on Bigfooty. Not sure of the source, but if it's true...wow.

'News coming through is that the Saints have offered their Brendon Goddard compensation pick (13), pick 24 and pick 34 for Gold Coast pair Josh Caddy and Tom Hickey.

Gold Coast have reportedly knocked back the deal.'

Well we are of course lacking a BJ these days

Exactly. He's the answer to everything! EVERYTHING!

No way. I see that as if we were giving up pick 13 for Hickey. If Gilbert were part of the trade it would be our mid-second round pick I'd be giving up at the most, and even then i would be a little concerned. Maybe they can throw us in a late pick as well then. We need our min 3 picks in the draft...

Lyon's short sightedness? He was two kicks away from getting us back to back premierships - that's not exactly terrible. It's hardly better to just grab long term prospects around that time and never get above 4th or 5th, but never fall to far either.

What was a worry for me was when Andy Maher aluded to the fact that on trading our first pick might change the Goddard pick to straight after our next pick. Pelican said it wasn't true so hope he's right. That would be a disaster if we then got 26 or something for Goddard because we traded it. From...

They do say pretty categorically that they won't trade him. So a straight swap seems pretty out of the question. Seems like we want a straight swap, and WCE are tellin' us we're dreamin'.

I'm going to assume we end up with Brown and Hickey. Preferred 22 B: Simpkin, Brown, Geary HB: Gwilt, Fisher, Siposs C: Montagna, Hayes, Dempster HF: Schneider, Riewoldt, Lee F: Milne, Stanley, Saad Foll: McEvoy, Dal Santo, Steven Int: Armitage, Gilbert, Dunell, Milera Close/depth: Kosi, Wilkes, Hi...

Just watching the Carlton game - Farren absolutely dominated. Easily bog in the first quarter, and from what I can remember was basically best on... Might be biased because he's my favourite player, but I really don't want to lose him/wish he didn't want to go. Sainterman, I think our pick 24 might ...

Agree KimSaint, but we can only play the cards we're dealt.

I think it's a win win. They get a young first round running player and we get an injury prone KPP that if he can get his body right might be brilliant. I'm not sure if they have lost out or us yet in that deal but there is enough to like for both parties. I rate Cripper highly and he will be a gun...

We also have pick 13 by all accounts for BJ. Why not offer them that and keep 12. There is still 3 weeks to sort this out. Who can get in between those 2 picks? Still don't understand why we had to go so early. 12 was always ours. 13 is 99% ours. At worst we would have got 13 and 14 if the Power's ...

Seems a tad overweight.

I've only seen that highlights package, but I can see why he's being called agile. Looks like he can turn on a dime, especially for his height. Can't really tell, but he doesn't look super quick. That agility will certainly help in backline pressure if he applies himself. Not to be unfair on Kosi, b...
