Are we still after a long term ruck ???????????????? Ben McEvoy-199cm, 90kg-Murray Bushrangers. (Ruck, fwd) He has been on the radar for a while and has had good form this year. He was one of Country’s best performers during the champs playing in the ruck and up forward. He looks to have good end...

Dempster in the our best 22?????

Surely you are kidding.

People, let's not get too carried away. Sure, on the face of it, we have picked up 4 players for effectively one pick. But, in all honesty only two of those players will see any senior action in 2008. Schneider will be a starting 22 player, whereas King will be played subject to his fitness, and as ...

I have no doubt that Brian Peake's previous involvement at Geelong played some part in this deal.

Pick 90 only - no players involved....just confirmed on SEN.

I hope we haven't put all of our eggs in the Schneider basket, and miss out on other potential trades.

Not good so far for the Saints. Our list hasn't improved as yet and aside from a few rumours, if we don't secure a midfielder in the trade period, we will be up against it again next year. So far the winners have been Carlton, Brisbane and Collingwood (in that order). I hope Brian Peake and Ken Shel...

Hmmmm,
Collingwood (and in turn Brisbane) willing to trade a first round draft choice suggets to me that the talent in this years draft may not be that great. Although Travis Johnstone is a handy pick up for the Lions, is a 27 y.o with a chequered past really worth pick 14?

Did anyone else hear a caller on SEN say something about another WCE player set to join the Blues? David Schwarze had heard the same thing.
Any idea about who they may have been talking about?

All this hype about Warnock is based on wishful thinking more so than fact I'm afraid. If this guy is so good, why then did the Dockers prefer to use Gilmore in the ruck instead of Warnock for the majority of the second half of the season? (and Gilmore is only 189cm or so) Just because the kid is 20...

Too early to tell as the kid is only young....but probably worth pick 14 for the Pies.

I doubt he will be at his best for at least another 2-3 years in terms of football maturity.

The pies obviously believe their premiership window is well and truely open.

here, here mad saint guy!!!!

Agree Totally with your comments.[/quote]

Interesting that the Saints are chasing Chris Johnson. Could this be due to Anthony Rock's involvement at Melbourne before joining the Saints? From memory he was the midfield coach there and I do recall Johnson having some reasonable games for the Dees during the '06 season before falling out of fav...

There don't seem to be too many ruck options left (that we can afford). Meeson ---> Melbourne Hudson---> Bulldogs Wood ----> Pies As for the rest King ---> would only trade a fourth round for him as he is too old and too fragile Warnock ---> fourth rounder at best as he hasn't achieved anything yet....

Any updates on this trade?? Things seem to have gone very quiet today, considering last night many news channels were reporting that it was a 'done deal' Given the reaction to this possible draft from many Swans supporters (ie, horrified to be loosing Schneider), I'm hoping Sydney haven't done a bac...
