Great trading by Pelchen
Who wants fast, attacking players who can kick goals?
Give me defensive role players any day.
Sack Pelchen before he tries to make us into an exciting, watchable team.

milne is 32, getting old, we will need to replace him in the next 2 years.meher baba wrote:So what is the need?

Quite a shift in recruiting compared to the last few years.
I had assumed we needed more midfielders and KPPs.
sipposs is very young, 19, these guys cshould be come ssaad should be able to come straight into the team next year, , schchneider will move to the middle more.

The Giants were able to trade Saad and Milera under rules that allow them to pre-list any player who has previously nominated for the draft.
This is the clever bit, it's a once-in-a-lifetime deal unless the AFL run another expansion in the future and use the same rules.
As the first club to negotiate such a trade this year, St. Kilda have hypothetically had the pick of the field of VFL-grade mature aged players, and still get to roll the dice again in the top 30 of the draft.

Strange though, makes you wonder if the remaining candidates for the coaching job have all indicated that they will be trying to balance the side with more attack?
Though in saying that, can't see anyone being quite as defensively minded as Ross....I really can't.

Look like reasonable pick ups but I thinkour recruiters may have missed the point - we needed quick medium forwards .. more height and muscle.
We have enough good smalls .. in Schneider , Milne, Steven .. are we building a team of midgets that will be swept aside during the physically tough finals (if we get there).

Where have you been? Collingwood and Richmond had two trades sorted as soon as trade week opened. That Richmond player is meant to be a star (aren't they all when traded/drafted).InkerSaint wrote:The Giants were able to trade Saad and Milera under rules that allow them to pre-list any player who has previously nominated for the draft.

Last year, Mzungu, Krak, Richardson and a few others were moved on from Gold Coast. Its a great idea to get someone for nothing really, Saad would have been highly sought, second, maybe third round one would think.

Two and a pick for no more than a pick of near enough to equivalent value to the pick foregone...
Weird days...I don't understand...
Well done (I think).
Saad is terrific.

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

That is fantastic. Looks like a great get and exactly what we wanted.Beno88 wrote:Saad kicked 50 goals from 20 games for the Bullants this season, including 8 goals in Round 1.
I've been saying for a couple of months now that I reckon one of our best chances of having a good 2012 is to get one or two who are ready to go from the VFL (or SANFL, etc), so I'm really happy with getting these two.

Excellent....
Two good picks.....one small and the other at 185cm can play HF-midfield (which also means HB etc).
They are both youngish, but not young...so it helps address our lists age profile imbalance, but with two guys who could actually both play senior football next year. Particularly the second one.
All this with just downshifting from 20-25...so most likely not much losss talent wise.
Froma quick examination it looks to be agreat move and is in part exactly the reason we gained Pelchen.

Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
Why were these two overlooked in previous drafts if they are so good?
Lance or James??
