Brad Crouch looks set to depart the Adelaide Crows as a free agent during the upcoming trade period.
And Brisbane Lions great Jonathan Brown has named St Kilda as the perfect landing spot for the star midfielder just 12 months after they were linked to him.
The Saints are reportedly on the hunt for another midfielder to assist All Australian and best and fairest winner Jack Steele.
A hurdle interested teams will have to acknowledge, however, is the two-match ban at the start of next season after Crouch was discovered by police with an illicit substance in September.
Speaking on Fox Footy’s On The Couch, Brown believes that Crouch would be a handy pickup for the Saints.
“If Brad Crouch came in, he wouldn’t cost you anything, because he’s a free agent,” Brown said.
“He’s vying for your number one (midfield) spot, he’s up there with Jack Steele, and then Jade Gresham comes back into that midfield.
“All of a sudden that’s starting to look like a pretty handy midfield, if (Paddy) Ryder’s got another year or two left in him with (Rowan) Marshall.”
The Saints finished sixth this year, winning their first final in a decade at the Gabba against the Western Bulldogs by three points.
With picks 15, 58, 73 and 87 in this years draft, the Saints are looking to bring in more talent in hopes of another finals season.
Brown suggested that the Saints could move along some older players in order to excel their hand in the draft, even floating midfielder Jack Billings, who averaged 18.6 disposals and 4.1 marks per game this season.
“You’ve got to look at players with value, and clearly he (Billings) be one of the most valuable, because you don’t have draft picks,” he said.
“I’d have a look at Billings, he gets you a first-rounder. Seb Ross maybe an early second. Jimmy Webster is the other one. You’ve got to look at first and second-round value.
“I think teams would look at what Billings has done in the forward line and be interested in that.”
