Lovett for St. Kilda first round pick (16?)

According to SEN, this trade has been completed...

Good Get. Ross Lyon will sort him right out.

win/win

saints window is open and they lack the speed and skill Lovett has.

Bombers wanted him out anyway and Pick 16 is higher than they thought they might have got

StKilda went soft I think, pick 16 is too early for Lovett.

Pretty good trade. Particularly for the dons, who now have 10 and 16. That's a pretty solid position. I had hoped they wouldn't pick up two players in the top 20, as I reckon making the finals was a big false dawn for them. Also, they could take talls...

Good deal for both parties, and probably further confirms the McLean deal was also fair for both parties as well.

I guess if they weren't before they are now out of the Burgoyne equation.

You would think so.

Also means that St Kilda will get another 1st round for Luke Ball, or confident of ladning something pretty good for him

hey know its only my first post, maybe i dont have a right to making replys or anything, haha

but i wouldnt be too suprised if essendon use pick 16 as part of a burgoyne trade, considering if i was andrew lovett the last place i would want to be is port

(remember chad cornes and brogan giving him hell over there last year)

if essendon were willing to give up their 1st rounder and lovett, their first rounder and pick 16 is essentially the same deal for them, only lovett is at st kilda

Luke Ball is definitely on the outer and the Saints need to get a deal to put that away.

Yeah mate, that is a fair point. My pov was that Port are after good experienced players not just picks but at the end of the day if they got picks 10 and 16 from the Bombers they could always trade either of those picks for another player. Gotta love trade week.

I am Hoping either Ball or Brian Lake get through to the PSD, that is where we can make a quick killing.

Essendon are massive winners. Not that St Kilda isn't, but Essendon's 2009 ends up with them playing finals and getting two picks inside the top 16. To me that's a great year for Essendon.

As for St Kilda, well, like Hawthorn, it's about a premiership in 2010 for them. Lovett could take Dempster, Milne, Schneider or Ball's spot in their GF and improve it, so that's a win for them.

Can't see either of these - nor Burgoyne nor Jolly - in the PSD. Probably just Fev.

This is a pretty good deal all round.

Essendon would be thrilled to secure pick 16, and Lovett is the exact type of player the Saints need- besides Montagna, they have very little midfield pace and his ability to break the lines will add another string to an already long St Kilda bow. Also has the versatility to play as a defensive, goal-kicking forward, and you would assume the type of environment that Lyon has established at St Kilda could only help a player with Lovett's baggage.

Both teams have done pretty well with this one. Wouldn't be surprised if Lovett is the Saints missing link.

This trade will lead to more activity in trade week. Consider Essendon and St Kilda major players now, as Ball is certain to be shifted, and Essendon will certainly make a bigger play for Burgoyne.

They are just getting started. Once/If Burgoyne moves, I expect the dees to be involved in moving a player or two to improve their draft positions.

The bumbers would also be well positioned to go after Fev if they want him to replace Lloyd and Lucas.

Makes pick 11 for Brock Mclean look even better.

This bloke has kicked 93 goals in 88 games.

The Dr let me down, I thought Lovett was locked in for Michael Richetelli.

Pick 17 is what they will get.

Because some bastard of a side has got the first two effing picks...

Two shiny new toys.

Tactically this is a very bad outcome for us ... just have a feeling in my guts we will find out why over the next few days then rubbed in further on draft day.

elaborate?

Because the bumbers are also likely to be after a KPF in the draft and have a pick just before ours. They may take the player we were after at 11 with 10. Same again at 16 before our pick 18. The dogs may also do the same with 15. If we could turn 18 into 14 or below it would be ideal...but I dont think we can

Improve on picks 34,51.

With Jamar staying put, Buckley & Bell are the other two left that have interest from other clubs. Do you think we can improve on draft positions with these players?

IMO, 1,2,11,18 are a lock.
