Dunstan in 3 years.

I didn't realize that Delaney was carrying an injury. What was it?

IMHO a great selection by the Saints. Bigfooty's Knightmare rated these picks as some of his best in the draft.

Great get by the Demons. Salem is quality.

So glad that the Pies did not get Aish.

Welcome Jack

Billings
Dunstan
Dumont
Curren

But wouldn't mind seeing Taylor or Gardiner slide in for Dumont.

Not sure if there has already been a post on this but can’t see one. Richo will no doubt be starting to select his assistant coaches, but it is not clear to me who is still on our list. According to Saints.com we currently only have two assistant coaches, Adam Kingsley (offensive coach) and Danny Se...

I am gutted that jaxons got in wrong. I trust the pelican err I mean jaxons.

Thanks Jaxons. Good to get your view. Bottom line is if you have to make a selection between Pelchen v Watters as they couldn't work together then it would be Pelchen without a doubt. Proven ability to build a premiership AFL team versus effectively a rookie AFL coach. IMHO the proof is in the last ...

+1. Dunnell has some real class and upside IMHO.

I would get delist Jones before Dunnell.

Just on principle I am really annoyed at you have no option online but to choose "Saints Smart Pay" which then annually automatically deducts the membership payment from your account. I will always be a Saints member but I don't want their system sucking money out of my account whenever it...

If all the rumours were true, we would not have had this vote of confidence by young players and thier agents. If all the rumours were true Watters would have been given his marching orders by the club regardless of whether we had a CEO or not. The club has said to Watters - the ball is in your cou...

I do find it fascinating that there are so many sad sacks on the forum who think that the Saints are in big trouble in 2014 but when it comes to nominating someone to delist everyone ducks for cover. Seems to me we must have a pretty solid list?

Would rather just bring Shaun Rhen in as a dedicated ruck coach.

2014: These Saints mean business. (Hoping for a new sponsor )

You have to see that we have started a very strategic process to get the Saints back up the ladder again, and if you look at the trade period it has to be viewed as a success. We have added a ruckman in Longer who with Hickey will be our ruckman for the next 10 years. We will add 2 key backman in B...

Very amusing P66. The worst draft selection in my memory. I am sure Bevo needs no reminder.

I have a feeling you might be paying out to BM. Looks like we may go for Billings. Wouldn't be my choice but what would I know.

Agree, if this doesn't materialize then the McEvoy trade was a shocker.

Have to suspect that finances were driving this decision. We just can't afford to keep all the players. Big win for North. We have to hope we get a fair compensation pick for this but I suspect we will get royally reamed

So has anyone confirmed that this is not an option? Swapping our first round pick #17 for Norths #8 has got to be a great option. North still get their father son pick and we get two picks in the top 10! Maybe even get Norths 2nd round pick too.

He would be a great get for the Saints as an assistant. Really knows how to win.

Gotta agree with the OP. Big risk that Aish will go home after a few years. Sharenberg on the other hand looks the goods.

Lake and Suban will both be rubbed out by MRP for a game or two next year but Lake won't mind.

Bring on the trade period!
