Interesting with what GWS ended up with.
They were heavily into small-forwards, Jacob Konstanty, Charlie Clarke & Ollie Hotton.
Having to match the bid on Harry Rowston so early, stuffed them up I reckon. Gotta love the Swans trading style.
And GWS picking Toby McMullin before Hotton, was a bit of a happy shock.
And their idea of Darcy Jones being a small-forward, bit of a shock also.
Reckon he's definitely suited to a roving or wing position.

None of our draftees are plug and play and if we are fair dinkum that includes Phillipou.

There should be enough talent on our list when fully fit that allows these guys to find their feet and form at Sandy. Even if it means some of them are 12-24 months away whilst they put on size and strength.
THIS, agree 100%...although you never know. I'm hoping for some surprises.
 


Mowman do your thing

ST KILDA​

10: Mattaes Phillipou (190cm, 89kg, Mid-Fwd, Woodville-West Torrens. Junior Club: Phantoms Football Club)

31: James Van Es (197cm, 98kg, Def, GWV Rebels. Junior Club: North Ballarat)

35: Olli Hotton (182cm, 79kg, Fwd, Sandringham Dragons. Junior Club: Hampton Rovers)

44: Isaac Keeler (198cm, 89kg, Fwd, North Adelaide. Junior Club: South Augusta)

CHRIS CAVANAGH’S VERDICT: Ticks all round. Got the X-Factor player they wanted in Phillipou, who some clubs had rated a top-five talent. Van Es fills a need for another key defender, Hotton was too good to pass up at pick 35 and Keeler could be anything.

Let's take a breath.
They essentially did phark all the whole trade season and took a group of sliders on the night. It looks like a good result, but best just leave it at that..
I think they deserve a well done.

Players may have slid. You still need to take them.

We could have been an eagles pick away from adding Hewett to the above aswell.

Anybody not happy with that haul is very hard to please imo. I’ve waited so long for a draft like that I wondered if I’d ever see one and all with a pretty ordinary hand as well.

Disagree - we were not stupid during the trade period for a change. Showed faith in our list by not trading out some players, and have not lost picks in future years. Yeah may have not been spectacular but I am comfortable with that. We are not privileged like Geelong to be gifted a top 10 pick in trade period.

Yes it is early but for once we have addressed needs, I am happy.

Have drafted mids! Along with a defender and ruck with potential.

Not fn hbflankers who we put in the guts.

Last years and this years draft haul is full of class hope in the future we can look back and say yep nailed it. Realise it is to early but believe there is reason to be pleased compared to other years.
 
Really happy with this haul. Covered most needs and went hard on speed and x-factor.

We may not have been able to get that extra 2nd round pick but I don't think that has mattered in the end. We've still got a very good group (on paper) and haven't had to eat into next years pick to do it.

Well done to everyone involved. Now let's develop these guys properly.
