FARREN Ray is now a Saint after the Western Bulldogs dealt their disgruntled midfielder to Moorabbin for selection 31.

The 22-year-old played 13 games in 2008 for a career tally of 75 and, in securing Ray, St Kilda also receives the Dogs' third-round selection (48) in November's NAB AFL Draft.

Ray played in the Bulldogs' heavy qualifying final loss to Hawthorn and was omitted for the following week's semi against the Sydney Swans.

The West Australian recently advised the club that he wanted to be traded, with a wish to remain in Melbourne.

The Bulldogs were hopeful of retaining Ray, who was selected fourth overall in the 2003 pool.
