St Kilda coach Scott Watters still wants West Coast defender Mitch Brown at the club in the future
The Saints were desperate to recruit Brown,[url=http://nikefree.mobilejeti.com]billige nike free[/url], but an obstinate Eagles coaching panel refused, despite conceding they couldn't guarantee him a game next year.
In the end, a lastgasp deal looked likely to be struck until West Coast's nominal replacement Essendon's Cale Hooker decided against leaving Windy Hill.
Both Jason Gram now departed and veteran forward Justin Koschitzke are on hefty deals that expire after next season, with Brendon Goddard rejecting a threeyear contract to make him St Kilda's highest earner.
It means for the first time in his stint at St Kilda, Watters can afford a big fish.
"There is still work to do (on our list) but we feel better placed than 12 months ago, and at the end of next year we will be in a pretty aggressive position to potentially make further changes," Watters said.
"The reality is Mitch is a contracted player, so we respect the stance West Coast took. So we have no bitterness towards them.
"We had a player desperate to come to our club and saw him as a good prospect when he was ultimately playing at a club he didn't really want to be at, so that's part of the business.
"There is no doubt in 12 months' time we will be looking to add to our key defensive posts."
With free agency, trade and draft periods now over, the AFL will review its processes, but AFL chief Andrew Demetriou has already thrown his weight behind the new setup.
Hawthorn were furious that they received no real compensation for Clinton Young, and could put forward the potential remedy that clubs get compensation for restricted free agents but not unrestricted free agents.
