Dogs Trades Out to St Kilda - A quick snap shot
I got to thinking about some of the not so great players St Kilda have taken from us directly, so dug around out of curiosity. Not a great track record of St Kilda taking our players off us directly it appears, with the headline names/trades:
Luke Beveridge: 45 mediocre games (we got 118 games from 'the gloved one', Tony Campbell)
Luke Penny: 45 mediocre games (we blew the pick on Cam Faulkner)
Shane Birss: 20 mediocre games (we blew the pick on MacDougall)
Farren Ray: 130 'solid' games (we got premiership player Jordan Roughead though, before trading him out for nothing)
Koby Stevens: 17 mediocre games before injury retired (we used the pick on Lew Young, before trading him out)
Zaine Cordy: TBA games (free agent, we got nothing, just cut to the chase of history I guess)
Ours coming into us from St Kilda includes Josh Bruce, and indirectly Nicky Winmar via the draft.
Not quite the a great record all round. At least off field, we are up Luke Beveridge, Ameet Bains & Brendan Lade in recent times.

Bruce Duperouzel was a good get for us from the Saints in 83 and 84? Con Gorozides not so much!
I think we gave them Michael Ford too.

Michael Frost looked a promising player for us in 92/93 and played in a couple of finals. Went to St Kilda in 94, played 11 games and was never seen again.

Nearly the AFEL ‘Bermuda Triangle’ between the two clubs…

They used a high pick on him to.

Do you remember what happened there? There was no trade, they drafted him with pick 8 in the 1993 national draft. Why wouldn't we have traded him for that pick instead of ending up with nothing?

I can remember everyone shaking their head with the selection as they could have gotten him much later. Back then it was mainly player for player trades and I think we delisted him. From memory the Saints panicked due to an injury to one of their players and thought they really needed him.
I think I talked to Twodogs once about him and if anyone is going to remember the story behind it I'd back Twodogs.
