If his Manager looks at Gresham, Lonie, Billings, Butler, Jones, Hill, Geary, Dunstan, Sinclair and others I forget atm, you may be right.

Add Kent and Parker and Hind atm to the list and more mids in Hanneberry, Bytel, Ross, Steele and Phillips, That is 17 small mids/fwds before Higgins arrives.

I just can't understand why a small forward would choose the Saints. To me it is just crazy.

Certainly a good signing for St Kilda, but I think we have to take the trade period as a whole. At the moment, it's ordinary. Let's see what happens.

Is it?

I would have thought small forwards were the least of their concerns.

Unless they play to play Higgins up the ground, I'm not sure how this works for them. And as there's no way Richmond will accept pick 64 or worse for him, St Kilda either has to give up a first round pick (17) for him or a player of decent worth. Is he worth 17? IMO, no.

That's true. He'd be a good signing for us, not St Kilda.

It's been suggested here on Demonland that Jack was a St.Kilda supporter as a youth, so it could be an emotional decision...the old club colours, the team song, the smell of a freshly singed dwarf.

Maybe if the small forward fancied himself as a mid..? with other small forwards in play he can be assured of not being played forward when he wants to play in the middle, perhaps.

Makes little sense

he would get much more game time at The Demons

Maybe we should enquire about Butler ?
