Dal Santo

Let's say St. Kilda fished around for offers for Dal Santo during trade week this year (totally possible imho). Would you want him at the MFC and who would you trade for him?

Daniel Bell, Michael Newton and 25+ draft pick for Dal Santo? Think they would take that?

Maybe Green and filler for Dal Santo?

    I really doubt St. Kilda are going to accept two NQR's and a middle of the road draft pick for one of their best players, even if he is soft as butter.

    Forget about using Bell and Newton for any trades other than those pointless hack-for-hack trades that go on sometimes. They're not going to be part of any significant trade.

    Has Talent but Poor work ethic

    Just like some of our current list

    why add to a poor list with what we already have

    A little too Travis Johnston-like. I would be upset if we got him. Not the player many thought he would be.

    Would rather keep Green. If we are getting smashed, at least Greeny is in the mix trying to get something done.

    Dal is a supreme talent, agree he is very TJ like. Sadly, TJ type players tend to work well in a team full of hard ball winners. We are not one of those sides. He will most likely stay with the Saints.

    No to Dal Santo. Doesn't fit in with rebuilding plans.

    For a start - how old is he? 26?? I'm not sure... but he hardly fits the mould of 'building a club from the ground up with young players' as we are said to be doing.

    Why entertain trades for yesterday's up & coming players? We want to develop the next crop, not be a retirement village for players that wear out their welcome elsewhere

    Based on last nights performance against Hathorn - NO WAY IN HELL!!!

    Soft as TJ and Yze. Same problem arose as earlier in the year when he got dropped. Too one dimensional, has great skills but Bateman, Sewell and Osborne from Hawthorn were all worth more when the heat is on.

    Nope - draft the young kids and look for hard nuts who can kick properly !!

    So basically the Hawks recruiting policy then?

    :lol:

    Darn right, Dal Santo will be 30 by the time Melbourne start playing finals again. Trading for anyone over 23 and over is going to cost a spot (or two) and then take a spot on the Melbourne list.

    Absolutely, They have had a Totaol Clean out since 2004 and backed themselves all the way. The Club is Loaded with Cash and assetts. Next week they are not just in the GF, they are a serious Challenger. I am Tipping a Few sore Geelong Bodies next week. This new team plays very Similiar to the 80's. The MFC should look at the Hawthorn Blue Print very Closely over summer.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
