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 (?)

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
