Clearly the ruck problem is not fixed but it is certainly "less bad". Teams were fighting over Evertitt at 33 years of age. King could play for another five seasons (I doubt it but it could happen). I think we are a lot better off than the same time last week.

Dempster 2005 flag
Schneider 2005 Flag
King 2007 Flag
I am pretty happy about all of this !!!! Well done SAINTERS
In Ross Get lost!
I am excited to stay at St Kilda and this is a great result for the Club and all our fans. I’m proud to be part of the Saints and am pleased to be playing football with the Clubâ€
Ok, so even if ex-WCE Gardiner's foot is stuffed and he plays zero games in 2008, King should be capable of 10 to 15 games (15 max due to likely injuries through the year given his problems).......this is awesome relative to where we have been.
The damage done by GT's neglect unfortunately is taking several years to fix
King is a former AA and captain of his club. Most importantly he is fit (although has had injury problems) and as recently as two weeks ago has played good football.
Schneider - out of our stellar forward line of early 2004 (Gehrig, Hammill, Riewoldt, Milne, Guerra) we have lost 3 of those in the last 3 years without replacing them. Perhaps Kosi and Schneider can be the ones to step up.
Dempster and Gardiner - I really can't comment as I know bugger all about them tbh.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...

For effectively pick 26.....as pick 90 is a nothing pick.
King and Schneider are both "first 22" players....and the other two are possibles.
I think that all those that were slagging Kenny this week may owe the guy an apology.
Great work Saints!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I for one am now feelinga lot more confident about 2008
hardly.....
Yes your right lets keep the same list or draft young guys and hope a pick 26 will be good because the last 3 picks for us around that mark have been excellent.

got a flea up your arse have you......i was pissed off that the vibes were that the saints were going to send fisher to the swanes along with pick 26 for two middle of the road journeymen......
now if that hasn't happened...good....
anyway....
......schneider was originally picked up with pick 60 in 2001 and dempster was a father son selection at pick 35 in 2002....guess neither of them worked out as the press say "they have been """""offloaded """""to the saints"
.....pick 26 has snared in previous years guys like shane briss, daniel mcconnell and jarred rivers....a mixed bag...
...anyway i am entitled to post my views ...which have been nothing like the crap that you have attributed to me....without you and your slimy shadow teflon trying to have a piece of me.
...ffs.....

No mate of Teflon and yes you can have any view you like. I just disagree. Whats it matter what pick was used to get those guys to the Swans. Does that make them less players now. You are right they were not wanted by the Swans but it was due to salary cap pressure not ability especially in Schneiders case.
