Murphy Reid, if you are reading this.

You are my idol. My brother from another mother. My day 1 OG. Top of my draft board since I saw you walk on water against Country. I hope you are wearing the Red White and Black in 2025.

Twomey on Tauru from yesterday’s Gettable:

“Strongly linked to North of course, they are looking to go down the order if they can, can they shift down a couple of spots?”

Can they take him at 2? “They could, they could also move to 4 and comfortably grab him there”

“Melbourne, St Kilda also in his draft range inside the 10 so he couldn’t slip back too far, Richmond’s done it’s work (on him) as well”

“I think if he reaches the back end of the top 10, clubs will try to buy back in to take him”

“He’s a star”

Seems like the kind of irresponsible trade the giants would make if he’s still there at 8.

15,16 & 21 for 8 & 32..

 

[gringo2011]

Because I said Murphy Reid was bad at football

I'd marry that woman if I was you.

 

[GYoung]

Dylan Alexander's take of the best outcome for Stkilda from the draft
Pick 7 Either Smillie or Allan
Pick 8 Taj Hotton (Speed forward of centre)
Pick 32 Small Forward Hannaford/Algar
Pick 47 Match for Cole

Can't see us getting away with this without giving up our future 1st.

 

[gringo2011]

oh shit, you and gringo were an item

I just want it out there that I was the top.

 

[akaifu]

I just want it out there that I was the top.

And a real good one

 

[gringo2011]

Hope Armstrong does go at 7. That means Richmond get him thanks to the Ashcroft bid which leaves someone more suited to tumble to us.

Richmond need KP forwards.

 

[St Neil]

Is this how we think things will be filled out

Cole = Key Defender
Hoffman = Medium Defender
Peckett = Outside mid/forward

Pick 7 & 8 = Inside Mids
Pick 32 = Key Forward

Not bad.

I’d be flexible with 7 & 8 if Tauru is there (high risk high reward). The lad looks like he could be some player. Split 8 if we don’t fancy the mids who are left.

Otherwise, 2 mids at 7 & 8. For God’s sake, no tall forwards with either of those picks.

Pick 32 I’d prefer a fwd/ruck. That is a need we have. If Dodson is there then take him.

 

[St Neil]

Dylan Alexander's take of the best outcome for Stkilda from the draft
Pick 7 Either Smillie or Allan
Pick 8 Taj Hotton (Speed forward of centre)
Pick 32 Small Forward Hannaford/Algar
Pick 47 Match for Cole

That would be a disappointing outcome for the club if that is what we ended up with.

 

[Yass03]

That would be a disappointing outcome for the club if that is what we ended up with.

Agreed, especially since we could nab hotton and someone else if we split pick 8.

 

[TheJackal]

Agreed, especially since we could nab hotton and someone else if we split pick 8.

What makes it worse is Dalrymple forgot his glasses and redrafted Ollie

 

[GYoung]

In this mock draft the top 6 mids have been selected
Pick 7 Murphy
Pick 8 Allan

 

[Significant]

Latest rumour.

13 & 29 for 16 and 21 looks like it could be on the go Between Port/GWS.

How does this impact a Saints trade down?

Pick 7 Either Smillie or Allan
Pick 8 Taj Hotton (Speed forward of centre)
Pick 32 Small Forward Hannaford/Algar
Pick 47 Match for Cole

I would find it unlikely that we would draft Hotton immediately after delisting his brother.
It would seem as if Taj took Ollie's spot on our list

 

[stavro#4]

Latest rumour.

13 & 29 for 16 and 21 looks like it could be on the go Between Port/GWS.

How does this impact a Saints trade down?

Well it gives the giants 13+15.

So 8 + 32 for 13+15.

Gives us 7+13+15

Gives the giants 8+29+32+37


Would mean for us:

7: slider or Allan/Tauru
13: Lindsay
15: Shanahan/Trainor

 

[saintmike65]

All the guys listed in the "Who you don't want" will probably end up guns ... ridiculous concept

I'd take them all in a heartbeat.

Majority will be top 10 picks

I’m confused. You don’t want Bo Allan but then your also don’t want Tauru?

I’d take both!

 

[Noddah]

In this mock draft the top 6 mids have been selected
Pick 7 Murphy
Pick 8 Allan

Would be happy with this if top 6 mids aren’t available

 

[Yass03]

Well it gives the giants 13+15.

So 8 + 32 for 13+15.

Gives us 7+13+15

Gives the giants 8+29+32+37


Would mean for us:

7: slider or Allan/Tauru
13: Lindsay
15: Shanahan/Trainor

Gimme Allan, Shanahan, and Hynes at those picks and I'm dreaming.

 

[St Kilda Death]

Latest rumour.

13 & 29 for 16 and 21 looks like it could be on the go Between Port/GWS.

How does this impact a Saints trade down?

They must want to jump freo.
Not sure who for.
Travaglia? Hotton? Berry?

 

[St Kilda Death]

Well it gives the giants 13+15.

So 8 + 32 for 13+15.

Gives us 7+13+15

Gives the giants 8+29+32+37


Would mean for us:

7: slider or Allan/Tauru
13: Lindsay
15: Shanahan/Trainor

If top 6 mids gone and we were targeting Allen over Tauru and Reid, it might make sense trade 7 which would have more currency?
Then take Allan at 8.

 

[BrutThough]

Latest rumour.

13 & 29 for 16 and 21 looks like it could be on the go Between Port/GWS.

How does this impact a Saints trade down?

Would make a trade for us less likely

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Reckon we’re gonna get some ridonculous offers for pick on the night.
Is there any scenario whatsoever where we would give up both and ??
