Maybe im wrong, but don't clubs have to use picks that are traded to them?

Don't think there'll be much left in the draft that late.

Used to be the case, but the rules have changed.

Anyway, can't they use their last pick to get that Donohue kid under father/son.

Yes, but if they do use 90 for him, I'm pretty sure they have to use all their previous picks as well.

Is that really the deal. Pick 90 for King and Gardiner?.... Cat's making salary cap room.

steven king and charlie gardiner for 90

:o

Steal of the century!

St.Kilda are obviously thinking that they can win the flag next year.

Why else get King?

Lyon is following his former club's lead, bringing in a host of recycled players.

Because their rucks stink and he was free.

That's an absolute snorter of a trade. Reminds me of the Walsh trade a few years ago.

Just to put it in perspective, it's St. Kilda's 6th round pick, so it wouldn't be all that strange if Geelong actually used the pick. It's not that uncommon for teams to select all the way in to the 6th round, though usually it's the bottom teams that have just done a mass cleanout rather than the reigning premiers. By the time all the other teams do their rounds of passing it'll be more like mid 60s, which sounds far more reasonable.

Definitely a nice freeby for the Saints though.

lol.

I'm not sure King is really a Premiership ruckman. Blake did all the work during the year and missed a flag because of sentiment.

So Saints have added Schneider (pace/goals), Dempster (pace), King (ruck), Gardiner (?)

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
