Did someone say we trded our next pick to get slightly earlier?

 

[jwikked]

I’ll remember that when I watch us get spanked out of the middle every week again next year.

Even if we had the top 5 picks in this years draft, it wouldn’t change that lol

Taj Hotton will go down as the steal of the draft. Absolutely spewing we didn’t get him.

Bizarre strategy.

Poor midfield = pressure on back 6 as ball comes in too easy.

We haven’t addressed the root cause. We have too many young backs. Alix at 193 is not backfill for Dougal. No pipeline for KPD now. This draft strategy is deeply flawed.

****ing crazy

Alix is a replacement for Battle

And I’m supposed to have faith in Dalrymple. Worst midfield in the league for 10 years and we come out of this with two half backs. It’s the stuff of nightmares. Yes melting.

And which elite midfielder would you have picked with our first pick? The fact is that they were all gone! Hence why we picked the best available.

Fair call

 

[DougalHoward]

Any way we can still get Reid or Allan?

 

[Yawkey way]

You need the other clubs to be involved in any trade. There has not been one live trade. Obviously nobody wanted pick 8 or wanted to screw us as well.

I’d hope we just loved who was there and couldn’t believe our luck. Just watched it with my son and sons in law, carlton one mentioned Curnow.

Kako looks a burn Bombers player.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I think Kako will get along real good with Jade.

We traded 32 and 47 for 28 and 58.

 

[Hayes4PM]

The **** are Richmond doing?

 

[Joffaboy]

Have you actually looked at other clubs list? Windy has proven nothing, as has Henry. Showed glimpses but no star. Wilson is awesome, so is Pou. Neither is a contested ball pig.

Carroll is completely unproven and the fact you mention him as something to be excited about is frightening.

We continue to build a list of defenders and outside players, whilst we get abused by teams with stronger midfields. This isn't that hard.

Take 1 of the 2 if you think they are the best prospect available, but to take 2 players that are not naturally midfielders is beyond ridiculous.

Same thing again and again.

Oh dear

I watched an inferior midfield to what we have right this second beat Sydney, Carlton, Geelong, Essendon, and lose by two points to Port in the last eight weeks.

You bag players like Windy but think an 18 y.o kid will change out midfield prospects. it is absolutely delusional to think so, but don't let me upset your silly pity party, it is hilariously entertaining.

I actually laughed when I saw Twomey's list. I thought there is no way we draft 2 defenders, one of the mid sized. Thought that is too ridiculous even for us.

Well here we are. Never change Saints.

SOS is scaring me. List strategy is obsessing over Carlton rejects and ignoring ball winning mids. FMD.

Richmond just went wild

 

[Banger9798]

We did a pick trade with them at the start of the draft to move our 32 up to 28. Was probably part of the negotiation to not bid on Kako.

What? I missed that...what did we do?

 

[hangdog]

Hotton and more so Faull decent bolters

 

[projectv]

West Coast to now fumble the bag and trade out pick 15 for a F3 instead of picking up Bo Allan.

 

[Sippa]

All this talk about Allan at 6 and they’ve taken 3 others ahead of him …

Ok sos do something now !

 

[HeavenlySources]

LDU is the real winner here. Our desperate asses will make him the first $2m player

Watch us give up 3 Frdp when North match our offer

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Richmond made a deal to leave Allen for those picks for sure

 

[StFly]

Richmond just went wild

"Quick we need a KPF"

 

[Hayes4PM]

Jonty Faull?!?!

 

[Linton Street Saint]

You love to see it, doesn't get any more St Kilda does it.

 

[stavro#4]

Berry Reid shanahan and Armstrong all on the board still.

****ing trade in!
