Fair enough, but that doesn't negate what l posted.
I think Collard was just deemed best available at that point and they weren't scared off by any go-home factor.

Moir went the next pick so it'll be interesting to compare the two along their journeys.
Based on the convo a ruckman might well be our top priority in the next draft

We have been chasing a ruck for years.

Draper, Xerri, De Koning have all been in our sights and we may have even come reasonably close on a couple. All AFL clubs would be well aware that St Kilda are looking to get some quality support for Marshall.
 
Ball movement drill starting with Gus McLennan or Wilkes…

Gus has beautiful skills.

Gus is being slept on as a young lockdown medium defender. Could easily become the next Brandon Starcevich. Already exposed to VFL football and was good at locking down on opposition small forwards. Good overhead, good skills, relatively mature body. Been affected by injury past couple of years so with an injury-free year, he could be a bolter. Him, Hastie, Nas, Stocker:hearteyes:

Mark him down for an early debut if he continues tracking like he is.

It was clear that the instruction was to get the ball to Gus deep in defence. He didn’t just take safe options either… hit up that crucial 45 kick that opened up the ground a number of times.

Will be interesting to see if Byrnes cracks it, from all reports he’s firing and has gone up a level. Hammer too.
Hammer has a broken pinky, only running laps.
Ronnie is not doing himself any harm with his training and running.

Perhaps so, our accumulation of young mids lately does open the door to an opportunity like that, but l also think spending a 1stRDP on one won't happen unless that kid is something very exceptional.
 
The cultural shift has been huge. Paul Roos and Ross Lyon are probably not that technically brilliant strategic coaches but both know how to bring a really defined focus on the right areas of the football club and get everyone in the same line working towards a known goal. I was chatting to a Dees mate on Cup day and he was saying that he gives Roos more credit for their premiership than Goodie.

Lyon and Roos have a system not just a game plan. Guys like Malthouse, Pagan etc had strategy but not a whole club approach and failed when moving clubs. You can't just throw a good coach into a poorly run club and expect success.
How that flawed simpleton Goodwin is a premiership coach and Lyon isn’t is one of the great mysteries of mankind!

If Lyon had Melbourne he would have won the last three. Carlton would have probably won this year.
