North Melbourne emerge as leading candidate to snare Saint Nick Dal Santo

[Mailman the 2nd]

Wow that sucks pretty bad for North fans... :-\

Its not too bad we would have had to pass up on Luke Mcdonald.

imgaine if we somehow got Kelly and Mcdonald in the same year.

insane midfield.

You could've had both of them if they were both father son.

From my knowledge if you use your highest pick available then you auto get him

Great news for St.Kilda fans...it is my understanding that Nick Dal Santo is now more likely to stay at St.Kilda next season than leave

[roo boys!]

 :(

Hmmm not sure where I'd rather seem him play. :P

will be sad seing the likes of monty nroo hayes and NDS playing in what will probably be the spoon team. They deserve to be playing finals at the roos he will.

[Vinny]

Yeah that's true!

If all 4 stay at the Saints, they wont get the spoon.

Yeah exactly. That's how the Doggies ended up getting both Wallis and Libba in the same draft. Both had bids placed on them before the Doggies would take a pick but still got both.

Also just a question, but considering North want to take McDonald with their second round pick, could they not trade their first round pick to some other club for some player and then they would get to use their second round pick, plus pick up a handy player through trading...

Because the meeting where the bids are held is just before when trade week starts on the 7th of October :)

Yeah otherwise as you said all of the F/S clubs would just be trading their high picks away

Well McDonald goes to pick 8 for NM

Smart move Eagles makes them use the 1st round instead of 2nd.
