St. Kilda has added plenty of depth to their list with Gardiner, Schneider and Dempster with King a very handy addition to fill their biggest hole.

All for basically nothing.

If the forgotten Michael Gardiner steps up and they pick up a key position player like Henderson or Rance at pick 9, the Saints are looking pretty solid.

How first round midfielders Armitage and McQualter develop could really help Saints push top 4-6 next year.

Gardiner is very ordinary and Dempster is just a bit player.

King may add a bit with his strength and experience in the ruck and Schneider is a neat player who will provide some run and skill.

Not much though to get too excited about.

Sylvinator while I understand the point you make, you can't just put TJ in the Wood and Judd category and say it's fantastic that they were the only players to draw a first round pick. The fact is, there are many clubs that could trade players for first round picks. They just aren't prepared to do it. Just because TJ got a first rounder doesn't mean there's heaps of other players out there that aren't able to attract first rounders. We were just one of the few clubs prepared to trade a quality player.

I'm happy with the trade, but looking at it from the perspective of who else attracted a first rounder is too narrow a perspective.
