Scott Watters just hinted that the right sort of offer would see the Saints looking at moving on Dal and a few others.

What are people's thoughts of getting in his ear as a potential free agent?

    How old is he ?

    Will be 30 by the start of next season.

    I'd almost be prepared to offer up a second round pick for him. He's had a good year averaging 24.8 touches and doesn't look like slowing down too much yet. We'll have to pay overs to get players at this time anyway and I think he'd probably be worth it.

    If we pick up him and Cross, I'd hope they leave it at that with older players and focus on youngsters/mid range recruits. We don't want to become too old and slow rather than young and slow.

    Our second rounder will be early 20's. No way.

    Says he's a RFA anyway

    Doesn't matter a whole heap. Him leaving will be st kilda getting the best deal. If he goes it will be for the good of the saints, if that makes sense. As such, I think if we offer at kilda something higher than the compensation they'd otherwise receive, that would be enough for st kilda.

    Troy Davis and pick 38 if we choose to trade something?

    they are keen on a key defender, Davis would be delisted anyway, and 38 is prob similar to the compo they would get anyway?

    The fact that Davis played two underwhelming games (albeit as a forward) in his whole career for us and is probably going to get delisted means that he has basically no value at all on the trade table.

    No he is icing on the cake for a side that is in the Premiership mode, not what we would be looking for IMO

    Your judgment on the value of players (particularly Melbourne players) is downright disturbing. I'm yet to see you suggest a realistic trade.

    The Watts for pick 11 suggestion was pretty realistic ;)

    anyways, sorry you didn't appreciate the post.

    Seems to have gone a bit quiet on the Dal front. Strongly tipped that he will be moved on with the Saints looking to turn their focus to the youth.

    North considered the frontrunner, but any interest or case put forward to get him? Short term solution to midfield woes but could have a long term impact in terms of what he leaves behind, beyond that of Byrnes or Rodan. He would be a consistent best 22 contributor. Still highly respected.

    The question is also what the Saints would accept for him. Second rounder + ?

  • Quote

    he really doesnt want to leave, cant see him going

  • Quote

    The Saints should move him, but we are not the destination.

  • Quote

    And more available since he has been delisted and we don't have to trade.

  • Quote

    Would you be tempted to throw our second rounder at them? Especially if we get a pp?

    why would you, when we could possible get SThompson in free agency, & keep the pick for a good kid ?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
