Reprieve for delisted Saint
St Kilda has delisted three players - including experienced duo Craig Callaghan and Steven Lawrence - and two rookie-list players in the lead up to the November National AFL draft. However, the Saints have 'guaranteed' to redraft the 27 year-old Callaghan unless another club pounces earlier in the draft. The Saints have also delisted young ruckman Chris Oliver and rookie-list players Ben Schwarze and Jordan Barham.

Guerra now a Saint
Port Adelaide utility Brent Guerra has been traded to St Kilda in return for the Saints' third round selection at the National AFL Draft - number 39 overall. A long-kicking left footer, Guerra was a fixture in the Port line-up in 2002, but played only 14 matches this season. St Kilda recruiting manager John Beveridge said the Saints were pleased to have picked up a vary handy addition to their list.

Gram fulfils dream
Jason Gram barracked for St Kilda as a kid, idolising Tony Lockett. And his best mate Matthew Ferguson just happens to be down at Moorabbin as well. So imagine Gram's delight yesterday when the first official trade week deal sent him to the Saints.

Jason Gram
DOB 27/4/84, 186cm, 84kg. The athletic wingman had a standout 2001 season with Gippsland Power, kicking what was arguably goal of the year where he ran the ball from the half back line through the middle of the ground to half forward, using his agility to evade several tacklers and kick the goal from 50 metres out. Gram is extremely athletic and has a basketball background. His style of play is similar to the old-fashioned tall wingman who runs forward of the play to outmark his opponent in the forward line and kick a handful of goals. Expect Gram to be given more game time this season.

Gram made to measure for Saints
At last, the first trade of the 2003 exchange period has been confirmed with Brisbane Lions youngster Jason Gram set to become a Saint. The 19 year-old, who was the Lions' first selection (No.19) at the 2001 National AFL draft, will move to Moorabbin, in return for the Saints' second pick (No.23). Gram, a midfielder who stands 186cm tall, made his AFL debut with the Lions in 2003 and played two consecutive games in rounds 13 and 14. He was a highly rated youngster, originally drafted from the Gippsland Power.

Black failed by 'dopey' system
St Kilda coach Grant Thomas said fate had served the club well on this occasion. "We're thrilled because we never wanted to lose Heath," said Thomas, He believed the ill-fated attempts to find trades for Hawthorn's Jade Rawlings and Port Adelaide's Nick Stevens had held up other trades, such as the Black deal.
