ST KILDA’S cheersquad has burned the Hawks over last year’s much-publicised trading of draft picks which is poised to see the Saints win big.
As AFL clubs raise their banner game in the wake of the Western Bulldogs’ weekly humorous gags, on Saturday it was the Saints’ turn to poke fun at their rival.
BANNER WAR: GIANTS FIRE BACK AT DOGS
The banner simply read:
OUR JACKS WILL BE NIMBLE
OUR JACKS WILL BE QUICK
SAINTS SAY THANKS
FOR THE FIRST-ROUND PICK
During last year’s trade period Hawthorn swapped picks 23, 36 and its first pick in next year’s draft for picks 10 and 68.
If the Hawks crash down the ladder next season, the Saints could end up 2863 points in front — nearly the equivalent of a No. 1 draft pick for free.
The Saints’ side on Saturday possesses five Jacks — Jack Billings, Jack Newnes, Jack Sinclair, Jack Steele and Jack Steven.
In fact ‘J’ is very big at the Saints, with Jimmy Webster, Josh Bruce, Jake Carlisle, Jade Gresham and captain Jarryn Geary all part of the line-up.
