I’d spew up if we picked a half back with very ordinary foot skills. I just don’t understand the Allen love at our picks. He has strength and grunt but a huge question mark over him ever becoming a midfielder.
Let’s just pick the best mid at 7 and then reassess.
It’s crazy how recruiters look past genuinely good players because they fall in love with with other players traits. I’d be over the moon with Reid, for a midfield full of butchers he’s exactly what we need.
If worst case scenario is North keep pick 2 and Tauru is there at 7 then I think we’ll be very happy in a few years. The kid has something special about him and I can see why North are desperate for him.
And the disrespect for Reid amongst a lot of draft watchers is strange, sure he doesn’t...
Billings still the most talented player I’ve seen come through St Kilda in over 30 years, but for whatever reason he just couldn’t consistently deliver on match day. I still blame our coaching and the “Richo effect” on our poor development of highly talented youngsters through those years. To...
We told Membrey that with where we are at that players like Owens and Sharman would play before him and we only offered one year. Totally reasonable and sensible. We told him that we’d support him if he found a better opportunity elsewhere, which he has. Sensible list management and nothing to...
Inside word is North have a massive hard on for Tauru, hence their keenness to trade down with Richmond. They’ll take him at 6. The top 7 looking very likely to be Tauru, Smith, O’Sullivan, Lalor, Ashcroft, Langford, Draper (in no particular order).
That should leave us with Smilie and Reid at...
To give you an idea of the standard of the WAFL reserves, if BrianSpeaking played ruck he’d have better stats than this.
The WAFL is so far behind the SANFL, let alone the VFL, that recruiters rarely put much stock into player’s performances in these leagues.
Not to say he can’t become a...
Our logo has a long and more meaningful history than any other club. We have ruined our logo on our jumper so I hope we don’t do the same here.
I can tolerate a slight modernisation of our current logo but any move away from it will be met with a hell of a lot of resistance.
I just hope they...
We have been involved in discussions over the weekend with Eagles, Tigers, Hawks in regards to the Baker and Barass moves as one trade. We are only in it with regards to pick swaps. I was told tonight that progress has been made but that it’s still a long way off.
