Versatile Andrejs Everitt almost certain to change clubs

GRAND finalist St Kilda is one of several clubs showing interest in trading for Western Bulldog Andrejs Everitt.

Melbourne, Sydney, the Brisbane Lions and Carlton are also understood to be eyeing the versatile 21-year-old.

Everitt, considered promising enough by a retiring Chris Grant to hand over his No. 3 guernsey two years ago, now seems certain to be headed elsewhere. It will take a second-round pick, at least, to get the deal done.

There is speculation the Saints could be prepared to give up their first-round pick, 16 or 17, given the national draft pool is considered shallow.

Hall for our 4th round + Addison is probably how it will go. If other clubs are interested in Hall, we may have to reluctantly offer Addison as well.

Interesting. If the dogs can pick up two first rounders, my gut says we are going to have a serious crack at trading for someone.

Who do you have in mind?

I think it could be a team needing to re-build. So perhaps Freo, Port, Sydney, Richmond.

Of those Pavlich is unlikely and don't have much else we want. Port, not sure they have what we're after. Sydney have White, but probably wouldn't deal. Richmond have Riewoldt, but i am personally not a fan.

But i would love to think there are some KPF's looking seriously at us right now, this would give us the bargaining power, although salary cap is a major issue...

Agreed. Mentioned something similar on another thread.

A funny thing happened to me on the way to the game on Friday night.

I was in the queue at gate 6 and I mentioned to the mates I was with that Carlton was sniffing around Everitt.

Well who should be standing right next to me....none other that Brett Ratten!

Felt like a bit of a tool, my mate had a good chat to him on the way in was a nice bloke.

He said that he would prefer to get his hands on Higgins instead.

First round pick or quality player for Everitt

The guy is a first round pick, has done his apprenticship, and is about to blossom, is under contract, and we loose him

He played some great games in his rookie year, and has played some other OK games since

I feel the same way, after his rd22 efforts I wanna see him up the ground more..obviously other clubs have seen his potential too.

The only reason would be if the player doesn't want to be there. I'm not sure if this is the case but it would be strange for us to actively shop him around.

Sorry if I'm not following something but....

How the hell did the Everitt rumour start anyhow???

Does he want to be at the WO or not?

I dont think he should go, and if he doesnt we need to get a decent established player ie Roughead (that wont happen unfortunately)

The first I heard about it was in the papers.

I think he should stay as well but if he wants to go why keep him?

Even stranger that he signed a multi year deal about a month ago.

Something has gone down in the last few weeks, but thankfully we've got him stitched up and have some leverage in any trade dealings.
