A LATE trade deal has delivered Sydney goalsneak Trent Dennis-Lane to St Kilda.
The Saints made two deals in the final 10 minutes of the trade period.
Homesick first-round draft pick Jamie Cripps got his wish with only minutes left, traded back to West Coast.
The Saints sent pick 46 in the draft to the Eagles along with Cripps - pick 24 in the 2010 draft - and received picks 41 and 44 in return.
St Kilda had been pushing hard for young key defender Mitch Brown, but the Eagles maintained all trade month that Brown is a required player.
Brown was offered a three-year deal by the Saints and declared his wish to be traded, but remains under contract for one more season with West Coast.
Other deals that were in the pipeline but did not get done before today's 2pm deadline include Port Adelaide midfielder Ben Jacobs, who was hoping to join the Kangaroos, and Gold Coast's Josh Toy, who wanted to move to a Victorian club.
Every deal at Department of Trades
The Cripps deal came minutes after the Saints have given up pick 47 for 24-year-old Sydney goalsneak Trent Dennis-Lane, who has played 19 career games.
His best game was the 2010 elimination final against Carlton, when he kicked four goals and laid a game-saving tackle in the dying minutes.

The Saints are clearly preparing for life after small forwards Stephen Milne (32) and Adam Schneider (26).
The Saints now have picks 25, 26, 41 and 44 in next month's draft.
Earlier, the Swans traded back-up defenders Matt Spangher and Campbell Heath to Hawthorn and Port Adelaide, respectively.
It is the first time since 2003 the Swans haven't traded in a player from another club.
