Lovett to St Kilda

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...

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

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

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. :lol:

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.

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

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.

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
