Considering Brisbane wanted a first round pick for Longer and St Kilda are trying to get three themselves I'm not sure if that's going to work out. Might be in St Kilda's best interests to look at the draft for a ruckman, whether it be Lobb, Nankervis or someone with more experience.

I've just been thinking about that since my last post, I'm wondering if they'll opt for one of the names you mentioned.

This kid can play. And is nearly AFL ready now

I think the Giants are very keen on him with their second rounder.

If I was saint Kilda i'd just get somebody up from the VFL to ruck whilst your kids develop.

Most VFL rucks are just the ruckman from AFL clubs that aren't getting games for the seniors - see: Dan Currie.

It was said on Facebook by arguably the most reliable AFL news related page that the Saints have another big deal in the works but nothing is known at present.  :o ???

That's actually pretty decent for the Saints.
I've heard rumours about a potential Armtage and Longer trade  :o

Hmm, interesting deal that. It definitely fits the needs of both clubs.

Surely not... I can't see them trading Armo. Like, I know they said they were going to be aggressive, but I reckon that's a step too far.

@theafloffseason: There are murmurs that St Kilda could be trading David Armitage to Brisbane in return for Billy Longer.

Aggressive...

I guess my Longer and Hickey call wasn't ludicrous after all.  :o

Micheal Sikora, Russel Gabriel, i'd even give cam wood another shot at AFL level

According the Channel 7, the Hawks will add a sweetener when they get the compo for Buddy.
Hawks give: Shane Savage + Picks 17 and 20
Saints give: Ben McEvoy + Pick 23
