        It's an improvement on Walsh who we delisted and received nuthing for.

        Let's hope we never have another pick #4.

            This is win / win IMO.

            Everyone keeps harping on about years of development and money spent on a certain player but that money would have been spent on another player anyway.

            He wanted to go, from what I have heard we wanted to get rid of him and we have gotten the chance to select another player.

                Yeah, win/win in my eyes. Good luck to Farren.

                        Farren was on SEN a bit earlier and spoke well.

                        He believes that the Saints will use him in the midfield which is no surprise but also they will utilise him across half back which is something that I thought we could have given him an extended run at.

                        He loved the Dogs but felt that he was behind in the pecking order and that was why he was so keen for a change. He will be heading back to Victoria soon to meet everyone at the Saints.

                        I really do wish him well.

                            I heard him too. It's obvious that the final vs Hawthorn was the catalyst for him seeking a trade. I found it strange that he said things were going 'smoothly' (his words), yet he also said leading into the finals he felt it got 'stale' (his words). By 'stale' I'm guessing he meant 'I played like a spud in the biggest game of my life and Rocket dropped me and said I better pull my finger out cos we've got heaps of good kids coming through and I think it'd be easier for me to play at somewhere like....St Kilda'.

                            I wish him well, but hope he does a Birss, instead of a Medhurst.
                            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                                I hope he blitzes. I really want to see him kick on and do well. Medhursts efforts this season should spur along anyone moving to another club.

                                    I want him to do well but I don't want him to blitz.

                                        If he blitzs it will be a miracle. Maybe he was colourblind? The saints colours will make it easist for him find a teammate more consistently by foot. It will also increase awareness and stop his fumbling.

                                        Nuisance value at best.

                                            Yes Medhurst should spur others moving to other clubs. Dont forget Medhurst never had kicking deficiencies or lack of awareness, it was more his lack of application that was his downfall.
                                            Ray from what I hear never had Medhurst type issues with application more poor skills. It is a very big challenge to improve your skills at 22yo.
                                            One thing going for Ray is that he will not have to kick short as often given the tall targets at the Saints.

                                                    Can confirm that that the Western Bulldogs are now clear that Farren is no longer a Dog - they have changed the picture header on the website so that Farren is no longer there.
