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?

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 + ?

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

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 ?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
