  1. Would be happy to take Wells.
  2. I know your just the messenger, but why would we accept Clarke as a trade when we could just take him as a free agent?
  3. If they've repeatedly been in their clubs leadership group, then I'd say yes, more then likely. St Kilda leadership group 2009-2013 North Melbourne 2014 & 2015.
  4. Officially delisted the other day. http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/teams/fremantle/fremantle-dockers-delist-luckless-defender-anthony-morabito-after-seven-injuryhampered-seasons/news-story/81634d97f06ceefbcf8d0971e9489386 Still wouldn't be against a rookie lifeline, The games he has played in the WAFL have been reasonably promising. http://www.aflplayerratings.com.au/Ratings/Player/114929/Anthony-MORABITO Doubt it will happen though,
  5. Barrett allegedly announcing something tonight re: Dal Santo.
  6. If you promote a rookie then you would only need to make two selections at the draft, 0 promotions then 3 selections etc. As for the point i think PaulRB is making i think Stue, isn't that we'd need to trade Pick 81 for Dal Santo, but if there's an available spot on our list, then it's a choice of either recruiting Dal Santo, or using a 3rd pick at the draft, being Pick 81 (Given our 2nd round will go for Hibberd).
  7. By your reasoning the club shouldn't have recruited Cross, as he wasn't a long term option? Surely he wasn't the difference between 2 to 4 wins and then 4 to 7? Why do you think the club has made a point of going on about how young we are after each loss? We lack experience! Dal Santo or Harvey or whoever only for 12 months means an extra pre-season into our younger players before they're expected to carry to big a load.
  8. Maybe he knows of someone coming in?
  9. Do you recall the standard of our I50's v West Coast? That's just one example of how he"d help.
  10. As stated earlier in the thread. Looks like Thomo is staying at Radelaide, so Dal Santo will be instead of, including moving into the assistant coaching gig.
  11. While i agree the club is more advanced then when Cross came in, we're still criminally young. Then assuming Grimes & Dawes will be off the list next year and potentially any of Dunn, Garland, Lumumba, Pedersen & Matt Jones we'd only be getting younger. Dal Santo is still playing good football and is an elite kick still averaging 24.5 possession, 8 contested kicking at 74%. He'll finish top 10, possibly top 5 in a finalists B&F this year. So if it's only 12 months or 2 years like Cross, i reckon he still has something to offer both on & off the football field.
  12. Grimes, free agent, can't trade.
  13. If the rumor is true it could be 1 year with the option of a 2nd, just like Cross was. If it is true i hope Salem sticks to him like glue to learn off, like Viney did with Cross.
  14. Have you watched him this year? No one denies he's past his best, but to say he's shot is just a plain incorrect statement. I hope it's just a case of you get him confused with Drew Petrie?
  15. Yep, soft averaging a whole 0.3 contested possesions less then Vince this year. I assume you think Vince is soft also? http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-melbourne-demons--bernie-vince?advv=Y http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-kangaroos--nick-dal-santo?advv=Y
  16. Agree his pace would be an asset, however i think Dal Santo's kicking, combined with Hibberd & Salem should help with our quick ball movement which is just as important as pace.
  17. I get the impression we've been told Scott Thompson is a likely no, so we've sounded Nicky Dal out.
  18. Was in St Kilda's leadership group throughout their 2009/2010 period, so i'd of thought so.
  19. 51m51 minutes ago AFL Trade News First ‏@AFLTrade Recent reports suggest Melbourne will offer Nick Dal Santo a contract which'll see him play for one season & then become an assistant coach. I guess this means he should get his own thread. Given his great disposal and the fact he's still playing solid football and could play that Matthew Boyd type role, i have to say i'm for it. I think he suits our needs more then Scott Thompson.
  20. Hunt winning our best young player award tonight shows how ridiculous the award is. They should revamp it. All players under 21 with less then 10 games experience at the start of the year can remain eligable. Have 9 judges who take 1 game a week each and give votes similar to the brownlow of 3, 2, 1 for players who meet the criteria in that match. You can then maybe still have a weekly standout player who picks up a bonus vote for the final count that's announced each Tuesday similar to now. Just a thought anyway
