Nick Dal Santo

[Ted Lasso 18,923]

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?

[Bitter but optimistic 22,136]

How old is he ?

[Ted Lasso 18,923]

He is 29

[Demon Jack 6,792]

How old is he ?

Will be 30 by the start of next season.

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

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

Says he's a RFA anyway

[Little Richard 6,219]

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.

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.

[Pennant St Dee 12,816]

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 + ?

[RalphiusMaximus 6,013]

I'd take him over Cross

[Grimseyisgod 378]

he really doesnt want to leave, cant see him going

[rpfc 28,087]

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

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

I wouldn't. Cross is harder at the ball and a better potential leader IMO.

[CBDees 3,165]

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

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