As it stands we have to delist 2 players to give us the 3 picks in the draft plus Steele.
Each player we trade in will need a player traded out or delisted.
The danger is that the players coming in are not as good as the ones we have to lose!
End of 2016 delistings:
Tom Curren (del)
Luke Delaney (del)
Brenton Payne (del)
Josh Saunders (del)
Sam Fisher waiting in the wings... he may get the lucky last spot on the list or will probably be rookie listed as a player/coach.

Payne and Saunders were rookies and do not count in the players we need to delist/trade out.

So Sammy might move to the rookie list and maybe.... Eli Templeton is traded out... Paddy McCartin takes the number 4 jumper.
I must admit I am a little underwhelmed with our lack of involvement so far in the trade period. Steele will give us depth in the midfield but not the explosive outside run we so desperately need. As far as Kobi Stevens is concerned, I'm not sure why we would be chasing him. Can't see him as being in our top 25 -28 players.
Kudos to Hawthorn. When they target a player, they do everything they can do get him. No mucking around.
I'm not convinced that we will do much more than secure Steele. The reason I say this is that outside of pick 10 we do not have any trade currency and the club has made it clear that they will not be parting with that. Unless we split pick 10 for two later picks.
im sort of starting to think that the reason that all the ITK's have disappeared is because there is nothing to report.
But more realistically pick 10 on the night is likely to be 12 or 13 but 28 remaining there abouts.
That takes say 90 points off the trade which gives you value of pick 30 for Aish.
One thing is for sure, Wells and Mayne will have cost Buckley's salary cap in excess of $1 million.
He needs to off load salary big time.
Bulldogs or delisting will take Cloke.
But anyone not earning their keep would be on the trade table at Collingwood.

I have been a fan of Aish since watching him At SANFL level. In many ways in the same boat as Billings ie Excellent ball user and decision maker and by default an Outside player. Like JB, Looks to me like he is struggling with self belief.
Will eventually be a very very good player.
Most resembles a young Joey Montagna.
I'd be very interested in him.
Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants.

Will definitely want to head back to SA one day so not for he Saints...
Not sure why jaxons is he keeper of all knowledge..unless he is part of the recruitment team what he says isn't gospel...he could just be a very conservative employee at the club.even if he was an assitant coach I doubt he would have all details on all the trades..keep the dream alive brothers and sisters....Fyfe or Rance would be massive!
And forget about this...Ross would want too much rubbish...! If Fyfe is leaving end of 2017 freo need to trade this year!
Billings pick 10 and future first round gets it done...let's sell the farm and win that f****** cup!

that is also the impression I get... but have not seen him as much as you...
If he really is on the table, i think he is worth going after.
Has the outside skills to compliment our other gets this trade period... Steele and seemingly Stevens...
And Aish still only 20 so his whole career is ahead of him..
The we just need to use land that KPD that Jaxons says we are chasing.... and we will have covered all the bases...

Jaxons has a good track record, doesn't try and attention to himself, just posts stuff to keep us informed. Mostly, in this trade period it's been to confirm which rumours aren't true, given we've been supposedly going to recruit Fyfe, J.RIewoldt, Rance, Mitchell and various others.
Tony74, who clearly is working with the club in some kind of footy related capacity has also said that Jaxons 'knows what he's talking about".
Seems to me that Jaxons is a club insider and am very happy to have the info he/she provides.

sounds a good deal if we can get that done... Pies may be particularly keen to get back into the first round.. and they will likely get another 2nd rounder for Wits... (or is that over valuing him?)
btw, i find the rumour about Aish hard to believe.. It would just no make sense to me to bring in Mayne and Wells and then trade out Aish... so most likely it is BS...

No one is saying we do t appreciate his input but let's not take everything his says for absolute gospel that's all....always good to dream big....miss 100% of the shots u don't take...no harm in dreaming

Mr Recruit I appreciate you wish to aim high or dream big.
However you can take it to the bank that neither Fyfe or Rance will be at The Saints next year.
We are halfway through our 'rebuild' and must continue to bring in young talent to ensure sustained success.
In 3 years there will be no Riewoldt, Fisher, Dempster and Montagna on our list and right now that makes our team look very different.
There is no point selling the farm for blockbuster trades that to date have not provided a premiership for any club.
We will keep building the list strategically for a sustained period of success long term, and when ready will attract a high profile recruit if necessary.

+1. Strategically planned development with eyes and ears open for opportunities that fit the plan. One blockbuster wont achieve the goal over a deep and balanced list. K.Stevens I guess is being see as fitting that strategy.
dragit wrote:Fyfe & rance... Eiww yuk, get me Koby Stevens and Nathan Brown, stat.
Its all about improving our list, Brown who would he replace? Fisher? Chips surely must be close to finishing. No defender as a replacement?
Stevens, has some potential and were lacking midfielders at the very least he offers depth. We cant just go out and recruit 8 AA,
Little steps at a time until were ready to pounce
