[StCicatriz]

would LOL if instead of handing out scarves. the melbourne staff hand out baggies

 

[Veer Right]

Trade next years first so we can grab Reid

Do it saints!

 

[Armoooo]

Lol the only non mids picked so far were our two

 

[Diehard Saint]

So 2 defenders

No. 2 18 year olds who can still be anything.

 

[Sol Goodman]

That's the back half sorted for the next 10 years.

 

[Joffaboy]

Can’t wait to revisit this thread in the years to come

Go back and look at the melts when we selected NWM

 

[Coconut_twirl]

So can you campaigners stop whinging now?

Get around the kids and back them in.

Midfielders are overrated anyway

Spot on. We picked two best available. Shame they didn’t do that with Petracca. Should always go best player available with a first rounder.

 

[maanco]

Could we see Tobie Play as a Half Forward / Small Forward.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Trevor Barker 2.0, no pressure kid

agree
was watching highlights and thought gee he reminds me of Barks
You cant not like that

 

[_Maximus_12]

If you have an issue with Tauru. Go watch the 2009 prelim vs Bulldogs.
Plays CHF in a similar vein to our favourite son.

 

[Plugger_87]

Not sure why we didn’t make Essendon pay.

I’m very happy for these kids and I already love them. But I can’t help but feel this deep deep midfield draft that would instantly fix our deep deep midfield woes, is a crock of sh1t.

The fact that no one bid and they gave up a top 10 pick means they’re paying

 

[saintron]

have some faith in who we have picked up young lad from sandhurst looks ok ex bendigo pioneer

 

[hangdog]

Well looks like another 2-3 years of Clark, Jones and old man McCrae running through the midfield.

Tauru looks like a gun but paired with another defender?

All the talk of mids, mids, mids.

Have absolutely no ball winning prospects. We are actively trying to build an unbalanced list.

Allen, Reid, nah doesn't matter. Winning a clearance is overrated I guess.

We'll get Hugh Boxshall and he'll be the Chad Warner of the draft.

Genius.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Trade back in for Reid or Shanahan you campaigners

 

[Yabadoo22]

It's kinda funny Kako hasn't been bidded on yet, dons could of got pick 9 plus Kako

 

[moirae42]

These kids may be guns, but **** sake, its a couple of years of development for each.

Will we ever win another clearance?

 

[Verdun66]

Don’t worry about mids. Hugo going to be a gun!

 

[jwikked]

Yeah we’ve heard that one before. Every single year we perpetually close our eyes, plug our ears and pretend the most important position on the ground doesn’t exist.

If no one we liked was there we should have worked a c*** ton harder to move up even on position in the draft to actually get what we needed

This was never a draft where you'd give up a top 10 pick to move up the order lol. 2 top 10 picks is always better than a single top 5 pick

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

But everyone here wet their collective pants waiting for his Phantom, but when he drops and its not to the liking of the wannabe list managers on here, suddenly he's Public Enemy no 1. Sheesh

Of course. Everyone wants to know the plot to the movie. Just sucks when you go to see it and realise you already know how it all plays out.

His mail is that good, I just find it funny the AFL are happy with any excitement and suspense getting sucked out of an event they seem desperate to dress up.

However I guess if it’s not them then it’s someone else

 

[SainterinSydney]

Come on trade in!

 

[SaintOfLondon]

Either coach for development in round 1, or don't at all. Tanking is pathetic and kills clubs.

Getting games into kids for the last couple of rounds when the season is over is not tanking, agree you don’t want to do a melbourne and destroy any winning culture but having a young kid like Garcia play a couple of games a pure mid is a lot more important then Steele playing those games as a full time mid imo. Although if it helps your narrative we’ll pretend I said they should tank lol

 

[Linton Street Saint]

yeah..how dare we miss out in players at the top of the draft because we won games

bastards...

" We had the resources to sack up and move up the draft we bauked. "

 

[saintbill]

Well good luck to the lads.

Our inability to build any kind of balance in our list is not their fault. That Carlton win looking massively costly now. Missed out on 2 gun mids.

 

[maanco]

Wheres the Welcome to The Club Threads!

 

[Minga]

The vibes are going to be so good with our young core.

Sure they’re not out and out mids, but they’re the highest rated non-mids in this draft and the best available.

Tauru is already a cult figure, flying Viking bby
