The Saints have picked the eyes out of the last 2 trade and draft windows. While our efforts were very good last year they have been excellent in bring in the players who've complemented the way they want to play.

750k for 4 years, 2 down 2 to go. Believe it Marty, its real that's why that want rid.

You may be right with the competition for spots down back, i just think they may not tinker with to much down back early doors. Especially with Petty and Hore coming back from long term injuries. Our major focus will be our dysfunctional Forward line, adding scoring power and preventing the ball leaving our F50 so easily as it has in the last 2 years.

I think his position in the backline is set in stone deanox. We need speed on both wings going forward. If we can't land anyone else its Langdon and Baker who get first crack in 2021.

If were not trying to bring in a Phillips or a Higgins type then we will be treading water for a third year in a row.

Awesome news a natural goal threat with pace to burn and great kick for goal.

Huge news, great get Dees, can't just sit back and think how good are we. Need to be more proactive in another couple of trades.

That is devotion if you've signed up again after that drivel. Christmas Shopping and Holiday Bonaza Special!!! Some enticing efforts to gain supporters cash after a sterling season.

I can understand the cash side of it, but why would you want to go to Essendrug at the minute with spot fires popping up everywhere? He would be transferring to a club with the equal amount of complete hopelessness as the club he's come from.

Turns out to be roughly the same contract he was after at North 4 years @ 750k a year = 3 mil. MFC 5 years @ 550k a year = 2.75 mil, 50k per season less from the impact of covid. Looks like the strength of the extra 2 years on lower cash has got Big Ben over the line, very shrewd business by the Dees.

That may actually work out packaging up Tmac and Pruessy in a three way trade with GWS and Geelong.

The MFC could lose big if Big Ben cuts the locks, imagine the sales of Wigs around the ground and the Demon shop could be a real money spinner.

I'm a Baker fan also but feel we still need another outsider eg. Phillips who likes to kick a goal.

Dodged a massive bullet Demonlanders.

I was happy to accommodate Smith non the less, but i have to say a 25 y.o wingman is better than a 32 y.o wingman. Divert all attention to Phillips Dees. Forget Smith now he's obviously having second thoughts, hearts not in it get the player who is hungry for a premiership(s).

Crucial cog going forward from next year onwards. Any update on his injury progression?

Respect is what builds clubs. I only see good things with this announcement.

Surely the club knows our Forward line dynamic is not working whatsoever players like Higgins can't be ignored. Our Forward line is the worst function part of our game and shows no sign of improving with the same cattle. Time to put some fingers in some pies Dees.

How can St.Kilda be in for him? Brad Crouch etc... they've loaded up on every Tom, [censored] and Harry and still have cash to burn. Smells of the Carlton's down their at RSEA park.

We need 2 small fowards this trade period to compliment Brown. Aarts and Higgo would be a delicious combo and would not cost the earth.

This is exactly what we should be doing, still early to mid 20's who can apply pressure, tackle and kick goals.

Add another 8-16 minutes back onto the game clock and they are know where near a premiership after tonight.

It was 3 wanted a 4th year.

Also pay Mihochek aswell and they are miles apart from a deal

Won a flag with Woodville West Torrens in SANFL on Sunday.
