Dal Santo

[praha 11,236]

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.

No way! Cant stand him.

Has Talent but Poor work ethic

Just like some of our current list

why add to a poor list with what we already have

[Chook 15,012]

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?

Yes, exactly.

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.
