OUT: Stanley

I don't really see how that leaves our list in worse shape going forward?

spot on

Clubs pretty happy. Don't believe all the hype of GWS trading picks 4,6,7 for pick 1. We would have liked Jaksch but Membrey is a bonus. Elshaugh and the boys are pretty confident in the draft. Remember this isn't a quick fix, the resigning of all the young kids is in line to when we peak again. It...

I say pass.

I liked that we didnt panic and do something stupid. If we had traded 1 for 6,7 (i was worried we might loose our nerve and do this) i would say fail.

But a strong pass for me. Especially if Petracca is holding a Norm Smith Medal in 5 years

I think saints are counting on not rising up ladder in 2015

Any chance of 4,6,7 Jaxsons?

Out of 10? What our chances..less than 1 hour to go!

Gee pretty harsh.....not needed IMO.

Please relax. We want to encourage posters. Do you think the people that only view the posts will post when they see derogatory comments like that?

In light of recent news on draft picks, pick 1and Rhys for pick 4,6,7,21,22 and 41 is petty good:)

Wow
I probably will s*** my pants if we have pick 4,6,7,21,22...this time tomorrow...

Can see Schneider thrown in in that deal.

Jaxsons updates are fantastic!

For me no trade if they want pick 21..they don't need it, we do.

113 marks last year. Pick 14 please.

exactly...a proven afl playert for a pig in a poke...no way....

Seriously...you would trade him for pick 14??

Pick 14 for Stanley would be very good

Do we want to help Ross win a flag??

still

picks 1, 14, 22, 41 not bad:)

i hope we dont get Wright......

So we could have picks 4, 7, 21, 22 and 41 for pick 1 and Rhys Stanley.....now that would be something If the recruiting guys back themselves in at picking a 200 gamer at pick 21 we have to go with it. Rhys is and will be a great AFL player but if White, Hickey, Longer come on plus the acquisition o...

121 marks. Plenty contested. Should be a pick 14 imo. On the other hand we all said 17 was fair for Ryder and Ryder is better than Rhys - so that makes 21 about spot on. http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?tid1=6&pid1=1613&tid2=16&pid2=3153&type=A&fid1=O&fid...

doeasnt make sense to trade him for such a high pick.....we need players in his age bracket and i feel his upside is pretty good.......at worst hold onto him for another year so he can show even more and trade him for a pick 13-14 next year. Doesnt make sense and would be surprised if the club did i...

I would prefer Jason Traianidis to make a comeback....

Now Beams has finally been traded to Brisbane th flood gates might open.....ip today is shaping as a big day. Also get the feeling the newspapers are trying to put a positive spin on Pies loosing beams. Big article on a kid who is a b grader at best (crisp). Pick 5 and 25 ar pretty good though....gr...

He will be vice captain next year next to comb over in 2015......two ex saints leading the cheats!

still plenty of time, on Monday the Bulldogs had a captain and coach, Hird was sacked and North Melbourne were 'winners' from player movement. Things can change quick.

With all the turmoil in the AFL at the moment it is amazing that this time last year we were the 'basketcase' of the AFL and supposedly had a mass exodus. Then I read this, "The Saints finished last under Alan Richardson in his first year but the club has committed to a rebuilding phase and loo...

Can't see the risk in the membry pick. He has had two years of development at a good club. He is an elite kick and knows how to get the footy with his back to the goals.

For me this is a great pick up and I would expect him to be in our best 22 when we play finals.

Apparently he is lazy and has a pretty poor attitude toward training. Not an elite footballer in the long run I think.

Loved the fly on the wall discussion on potential draft pics on the site. Fascinating to see the personalities of our coaching team working together.

Winners and losers TV show often talk abou watching the saints.

The skit show Kinnie mentions us a bit

Melira is not a required player at our club next year. He is a witches hat in defence.
