St kilda leading the race for Freeman... Is there a player that the Saints AREN'T going after? Jesus....

The Saints know how screwed they are once their 30+ players retire. They're rightly doing everything possible to get more talent into the club while they can. Rather than complaining about them chasing everyone decent, ask why it is that Melbourne aren't chasing everyone. I want to know why our name isn't being mentioned as having put a big offer on the table for Treloar, Dangerfield, Freeman and any other player who might conceivably be leaving their club and be able to make our side better.

I don't care if we are not mentioned as chasing every player in the AFL, I'm sure we have our targets and it's good that we are keeping things in house as much as possible.

The alarm bells should be ringing the moment the Pies are happy to let them go. Doesn't take a rocket scientist.

Has officially requested a trade to St Kilda..

Amazing...

The word is that he was asking for over 300k a year to stay at the Pies. Seems like he is just a little on the arrogant side for a bloke who hasn't been able to get on the park for 2 years.

Seems like the perfect fit for a club like St. Kilda.

Dazzle u r like our trade talk informant for Demonland.

As soon as something is announced on sen u post it within seconds/mins.

Well done and keep it up.

Hopefully u can post some positive news for us Dees soon!!

Saints supporter mate of mine at work who's pretty ontop of a lot of things happening there reckons their plan is to trade Pick 5 to Gold Coast for Pick 10 (Dixon trade) and Gold Coast's 2nd round Pick 22. Will then trade Pick 10 for Carlisle and their own 2nd round Pick 24 for Freeman, still giving them Pick 22.

AFL PA taking the p!ss again.

When AFL Draftees are drafted they should automatically have to sign a 4 year deal at that Club, what a joke this whole trade system has become.

must have given FIGJAM a chuckle !!

Good luck to him, has shown nothing to date...

The Saints seem to be pretty active, be interesting to see how it works for them next season & the few after.

I feel like I remember him saying something about being a Saints supporter as a kid...

But it makes sense if he's nominated them as his club of choice. Clearly has a soft spot for them after only being in the system for two years.

I wonder if we made a play for him considering it was either he or Salem we were going to take with pick 9.

Dodged a bullet with freeman lucky if we picked him he would be seeking a trade, i guess he wants to play for the team he followed, who needs free agentment, when the league has free tradement now.

It was never out of him and Salem.. thats a myth.

If Salem was selected earlier then we would have picked Lewis Taylor.

No matter, we got the best one by a long shot.

Surely St Kilda have enough of the Smaller to Medium size running midfielders in their team already? (Jack Steven, Armitage, Billings, Weller, Dunstan, Geary, Savage). I'd have to think he'd be behind quite a few players by moving to St Kilda.

Active? It's all just smoke and mirrors at the moment.

2 years of no games and he has the nerve to knock back a contract at the pies and request a trade. You've done nothing mate!

Bloody oath. Audacious!

As ever there's more to the story than what's out in the media.

Apparently the Pies mismanaged Freeman's injuries. Quite badly.

The kid's doing well not to bad mouth the club on the way out, publicly citing opportunity now that the club has all but signed Treloar.

Wish him well at St Kilda.

Apparently the filth are demanding a first round draft pick. They are their usual delusional selves for expecting that for a player yet to debut with chronic hamstring problems.

Glad we're not involved.

We dodged a massive bullet with this one (cant say that much about our recent drafting, so ill take it).

Those hammies are a massive, massive red flag. Has barely played VFL, let alone got on the park for AFL.

I would be avoiding this like the plague.

Their supporters may say the same after seeing us linked with Hartlett and Bennell...

I remember his appearance in last years NAB challenge before doing his hammy. This kid was a jet for the 20 minutes he was on the field.

AFL PA taking the [censored] again.

When AFL Draftees are drafted they should automatically have to sign a 4 year deal at that Club, what a joke this whole trade system has become.

And we would have had to keep Lucas Cook, Rory Taggert, Dom Barry, among others, for 4 years. It's a two-way street.

He is fast but the pies have already ok'd his trade according to the Herald Sun. Clearly there is more to the story if a club drafts a highly sought after kid, he remains injured for two years and then you agree to a trde without a whimper and before a firm exchange offer has been given by the destination club.
