We have absolutely smoked it this draft. To think we've got three premiership players and Charlie Gardner (not sure why they bothered with Charlie), for pick 26 & 90. Great work Rossy.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head here. This was probably done to help out King as Saint have a better shot at a premiership in the next 2 years than blues or tigers. Geelong would not even use pick 90
they have to use it now that have traded for it.
They have committed to taking Donohue as a Father/son pick. As no on else bid for him they can effectivley use any pick to take him. Perhaps they will now use pick 90 for donohue instead of their fourth rounder?

Which is it? I thought the above was corrent but other are saying different.
Gardiner I'm quite pleased with, really think we can do something with him and the price sure is right.
King included in the deal for crappy Pick 90 (we may have passed on it anyway) is pretty much a steal, so I'm not too fussed even though he is old and injury prone. Just don't offer him too much $$.
charlie gardiner can seriously play the cats have just run out of salary cap. King, c Gardiner, Schnieder and Dempster for picks 26 and 90??? thats fantastic we really have a chance in 2008 all things go well. Gives Koschitzke full forward and forward ruckman.
I think Lyon has great plans for this list!!
woah! i am over the moon. Like all of the above comments we have blitz the draft this year!
welcome to adam, sean, steven and charlie!!
anyone care to photoshop there face on saints jumper???
Remember that G-Train has retired and Kosi amy very well be ear-marked to replace him at FF, which means we need to replace 2 ruckmen (Clarke retiring and Kosi going to FF)
Therefore we may be anticipating a ruck division of :-
Gardiner (M)
King
Rix
Brooks
