Saints Land Mature Pair
ST KILDA has landed two mature-age players in a deal with Greater Western Sydney.

Terry Milera from SANFL club Port Adelaide and Ahmed Saad from VFL club Northern Bullants will join the Saints after GWS had the rights to them as they had previously nominated for the draft.

In return the Saints have downgraded their draft pick 20 to 25, giving GWS 12 of the first 20 picks at next month's NAB AFL Draft.

Good trade for the Saints IMO

Discuss?

Wouldnt have minded either of them at Essendon, makes for a very dangerous forward line at the Saints

GWS really want to go super young don't they...

They traded that pick off to Fremantle for a compensation pick pretty quick, was probably their plan all along.

good work saints
good list management - perhaps shows coaches dont play a huge role in trades

Nice work by the Saints.

So GWS has effectively turned M. Clarke, J. Elliot, Ahmad Saad ,Terry Miller and pick 67 into and band 3 compo pick.

Yep, good job Saints. It'll be interesting to see how Saad goes.

hmmm seems like GWS are giving away their rights to these mature players quite easily. They know they can't keep them so they are willing to pass on anything.

5 places up the draft order... that's a shambles. I think clubs will be lining up outside the GWS office after this one!

That was the carrot, now they'll probably get out the stick

Kind of like Lucy Lawless in Eurotrip

If Saad works out the Saints may have one last shot in them

Good pickup with Saad, bloody hell he is an exciting player. You'd think that GWS would want to keep him since he has a lot of X-Factor to him, works hard and is still very young.


They're coughing up pre-listed players like mad though. Even if some turn out to be plodders, they're always going to work harder than most for a spot and will generally be more level-headed players.

How does Pelchan do it? He is the master of trade week. StKilda are huge winners here.

Can anybody give more information on Milera? Im assuming he is not the fat milera that adelaide delisted.
What sort of role will he play and is he ready to go from day 1?

Tallish winger/HFF. Fast and pretty skilful. Has kicked bags of 3,4,5 goals a number of times this year.

coaches don't see all the kids. they rely alot on the thier recruitment and list management.

coaches probably should say to the recruitment team we need these and these types of players. go find them
