Picking the precious gem @ 14
Well having genuine foresight of who will be able to realise their potential the most and achieve it is certainy the task at hand for our Saintly recruiting team. I can't help feeling that our pick @ 14 in a few weeks time will be The crucial inclusion from this season's trading/ drafting period. Th...

Another A C A "scandal"
Considering the footage was offered to all the news channels and ACA was the one that paid I wouldn't be too concerned. Seriously who cares? And who cares about Neil Mitchell, he's a talk back host...on a am channel? I fail to see how he and especially his opinion hold any weight today, he's a reli...

ACA timing of story is too obvious
Sounds like Essendon (they are certainly hard to deal with) & JC"s Manager ignored any voices in their heads reg: disclosure. The timing of this story being dropped into the 'free to air' lounge-rooms of Melbourne looks VERY PREMEDITATED and designed to damage. I've always steered clear of ...

Pick 14... Who will/ should it be?
K.Collins if available could conceivably be the 3rd. tall that really fleshes out a potentially well constructed defence but then there are the speedsters and mids that could actually get the nod instead. I wonder who the 'expert' draft rankers have @ #14 ? Interesting situation if for example Jade ...

Keep working on COOL is a good approach.
The short life lived with us - captures some of the angst felt by some of us Bluthey. I was not keen @ all to see 5 leave the fold (after such a short time) but a Lenny Mark 2 @ 14 would satisfy me for sure. Talking Lenny I thought he may have come to us with pick 7 way back when. Simply the fact th...

Carlisle can now embrace normality
Disappointed that we are giving up pick 5. I would take a calculated risk, stall and take him in the PSD. SaintPav I can sympathise where you are coming from but at least there is quite a reasonable chance that JC will flourish alongside the experienced AR. I have to go with AR's keenness for the b...

Rumours of Weller or one of the above?

If not though who would we prefer if it's the case @ #14?

Daniel Rioli looks like the real deal
I can see why you are excited about Daniel Rioli, wonderful to watch how he moves across the ground and passes, marks and goals etc.
Daniel would look great in red, black & white. I'm not an expert but you get a feeling that Daniel is potentially electrifying.

Great to have you on board Nathan.
I remember reading your draft rating when you were picked by the pies and liking the sound of your skills.
Glad you are with the Saints now and I wish you all the very best.

Didero to help strengthen Hawks, Really?
It does sound peculiar helping the hawks maintain their lead in being the most likely to make another grand final. doesn't sound like a traditional essdon strategy. Have to say I'm glad that the Swans have entered the scene as we might do better with their part in a counter deal. Netting Pick 14 fro...

Lose #5 but get J C & Port's 1st Rounder of 2016
Completely different deal mentioned on AFL.com today. We give Port pick 5 and they give us Pick 10 and their 2016 first rounder. We trade pick 10 to dildo for Carlisle. Port give pick 5 to the Suns for Dixon. Well if we... Lose #5 but get J C & Port's 1st Rounder of 2016 we could be looking @ a...

Jake Carlisle to Saints in PSD, Dodo sacked !
Personally I think it is still a case of essendon's best poker face determining to keep saying nay for as long as he can before saying Ok then and agreeing to the general perception of J.Cs' points rating. Plenty of commentators are rating J.C. @ 12 or so in this years' 'weak' draft! I don't think t...

from P.S.D. to St. Kilda for J.C.
Fugazi you are speakin ma language ! "Still would prefer to walk him out the PSD and keep 5". Keeping Pick 5 and showing a better poker face than the dodo guy (sorry on the spelling) would still well - suit our rebuild. I think it is worth a shot. AR may not like hate losing the chance of ...

Good to get the 'overrated' message out
If only for some balance and shining the light where essendons dont want to look. Some of us Sainters are not at all interested in coughing up pick 5 for what the brains' trust @ ess think Jake is worth.

Aaron Francis a Saint @ Pick 5 ?
Damienc just being devils' advocate for a sec. If the Crows really rate A.Francis and expect him to go @ #5 then St.Kilda may draft him on the day if he's still there with a pick 5.

Ess expect & want more than the rest
Trade-guy Ralph on SEN an hour ago reckons the Carlisle tug of war will go to the 11th. hour or 'late Thursday' as he put it. Essendon no doubt have the strategy of not budging from their demands to get Pick 5, assuming the Saints will cave-in to their feudal overlords in red & black @ the end o...

"The whole appeal of Freeman is that we can get him cheap in the 'HOPE' of him getting his body right". Exactly saintjake, If Freeman gets over his injuries then whoo hoo! Of coarse Coll wants Acers. St.K drop the ball if Freeman doesn't come on safer grounds. Sounds like Aish will not lan...

Jake Carlisle already out Ess door
KB (SEN) said yesterday T. Wallace pointed out that J.C. hadn't made the Ess. top 10 B & F over the last 4 years. Also clubs wanting to drop off players habitually inflate their supposed value as a tactic to squeeze a better deal back to themselves. It made me think. As ess are travelling down t...

Pick 5 stays put
Our recruiters were able to pinpoint Billings (early) and Hughie (later) and I see a strong pattern in recent recruiting that they can choose well again.
It strikes me that Pick 5 is in all liklihood very important in the long term. Leave essendon with their Pick 4 and outdraft them @ Pick 5.
