The funniest part being you could read it without context and know exactly which picks were St Kilda

 

[hayes]

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.

I’ve said it 100 times, we decided to get all high and mighty about winning meaningless games at the end of the year and took ourselves out of the Bont/Oliver draft range. We whinge about the system but we hurt ourselves more.

 

[Yass03]

Faull sounds like hes got a few rocks up there icl

 

[maanco]

Wow First bolter

two now - both by Richmond

 

[akaifu]

Taj Hotton and Jonty Faull at 10&11

This is all we needed for a couple of guys to start sliding

SOS will be working the phones

 

[projectv]

Really hope we trade back in now.

Reid, Allan, Armstrong, Berry all still available.

 

[Premium]

Saying we have 2 halfbacks is kind of strange when these draft kids are 18 and have only really started playing the game.
It is up to the club to turn them into the best player they can possibly be and where they play on the field will be determined to what suits them and the club.
We turned Battle from a touted future key forward to a defender - so what they are playing as 17 and 18 yr olds is no way of saying if that is where they will be in the future.

Hopefully we picked the best players that were available
and next year we pick up LDU or that GWS kid.

 

[HeavenlySources]

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.

Anything other than cheerleading for the club and their decisions isn't accepted here mate sorry

 

[cartel]

Did Dixon really just say that?

He's massively cringe

 

[TheJackal]

I don't know what was available to us in a trade, but not trading down and grabbing 2 or 3 teens picks has me really confused.

 

[StFly]

Sounds half asleep, they've a winner there.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Berry Reid shanahan and Armstrong all on the board still.

****ing trade in!

Reid and Shanahan yes please.

 

[sammm]

Great 2 back men. Whatever happened to
We need midfielders ?????.

 

[hangdog]

Faull sounds like hes got a few rocks up there icl

I genuinely think he's wasted

 

[The_Steadier]

We’re collecting real talent not good honest players, we’ve been screaming out for it that and mids. Mids weren’t in the same class at our picks, just wait you’ll love these guys in years to come.

Yep

Once we decided to use 7 and 8- we've made the right decision and taking best avail.

Whether we made the right decision to not trade up or down- we'll never know.
Hopefully we tried VERY hard to make something happen with trading up or down.

But if we left no stone unturned in trying to trade up or down without being worse off- then taking best available at 7 and 8 is next best outcome.

 

[stavro#4]

Reid and Shanahan yes please.

Honestly. I’d rip your arm off for Armstrong here

 

[botts]

Massive Clark coffeild vibes here

 

[Saint Watto]

August 25 called it

Impressive....very impressive !!!!

 

[my name was taken]

Eagles done well to get their man, bombers is a big fail though lol

 

[BucketsandBanger]

How is no one here laughing at the fact we scared Essendon into trading pick 9 when they didn’t need to

 

[Hayes4PM]

HOOOOOLY DOOOOLY

 

[Plugger35]

West Coast will surely take Bo Allen.

Mind you they missed out on Tim Kelly

and then paid a King's Ransom to Geelong to get him.

 

[projectv]

West Coast just did it again.

 

[Verdun66]

Absolutely nothing wrong with having a gun back line. And these two seem to be very versatile so who knows where they might pop up in a game. Going to enjoy watching their progress.

Are we trading our F1 for someone left? A few bolters so good players dropping.

 

[projectv]

ALL THAT FOR PICK 45!
