Can we get him in the PSD?

Pelchen spoke on 3AW last night (around 6.30pm). He claimed he wasn't pushed but sounded quite unconvincing. More relevantly for us, Gererd Healy asked him about his role in the upcoming draft. The way Healy phrased it was to ask whether Pelchen would be around to see St Kilda draft Petracca. Pelchen said he wouldn't be - but then realised he needed to say that Petracca was just one player out of three they were still considering. Again he was unconvincing - so it seemed to me that Pelchen believes St Kilda has decided it will draft Petracca.

If StK didn't want Petracca they would have traded pick 1 to GWS for pick 4 and 7 as one/both McCartin/Wright would be there at pick 4.

Logic therefore says StK take Petracca @ pick 1.

who says they rate Wright?

But they were willing to downgrade the pick in a deal with GWS for pick 3, which in their mind would have allowed them to still get McCartin (assuming we would have taken Brayshaw), but when we got pick 3 and we had no currency (excess mids) for them to downgrade with, coupled with us flagging our interest in Mccartin, I think Saints were spooked into holding on to pick 1.

We forced Saints into holding onto 1 and forcing them to chose between McCartin or someone else. We took their ability to downgrade and still get McCartin away from them lol. Now they're stuck with a choice and I have a feeling not everyone was on the same page hence Pelchin leaving. I couldn't tip who they're going to end up with and still feel they're selling themselves short if they don't jump at a KPF right now while Roo is still with them.

We threw a major spanner in their works and it's brilliiant lol

Well they screwed us by forcing us to trade 23 for Frost.

We screwed them harder!

I think your reading way too much into this.
