Tigers with two more coming up too.

 

[Diehard Saint]

We needed everything back then ffs. Mids, backs, forwards. We convinced ourselves forward was most important because of Tom Boyd. Tom bloody Body!

We are butchering the careers of the likes of Hastie and Schoey.

Our midfield is miles off it, our backline is still undersized, we have 1 key forward, and 1 ruck.

We have 30 half back options though.

Just diabolical list building.

Up to Hattie and Schoenmaker to prove themselves.
Nobody is handed anything on a platter. These new kids are behind them as it stands right now. If they overtake them, so be it. They’ll push each other. It’s called competition.

You know Battle was drafted as a forward, right where did he end up? You know Gehrig was a backman at WC? And theyre far from the only players ever to change position. I’m not pigeonholing either of them.

Why do you think the club didn’t go the next level of mids and took these two instead? What do you think their reasoning is? Pretty sure they weren’t just thinking let’s just piss off the BF board.

 

[wannabewinner]

I am excited for pick 31 and Tauru.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

It’s not hate on Tobie FFS. Good luck to the kid. Hope he smashes it. BUT….. RTB, Misson even bloody Jack Steel today acknowledged we need mids and then some mids. And what does STKFC do with two top ten picks? Take the only two defenders taken in the top 15. Totally justified to be going WTF?

Eh Tauru is clearly best tall available you always take him. Perhaps we see TT as a mid who knows...

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Think tigers can take risks with this draft haul. They will be ordinary again but wouldn’t be surprised if they shoot up the ladder in 4 to 5 years. They also can attract talent which we struggle with.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Tigers have had a great night IMO

They sure as hell chose the right year for their team to self destruct.

 

[gringo2011]

Swinging for the fences

They have gone for some boom bust types and medical speculative ones but for pure talent I'm jealous.

 

[Banger9798]

I mean it's shaping up ok, U25 squad:

B: Hastie Cole Hoffman

HB: Schoenmaker Tauru Travaglia

C: NWM Phillipou Wilson

HF: Henry Caminiti Owens

FF: Higgins King Sharman

R: Keeler, Garcia, Windhager

IC: McLennan, Collard, Clark , Byrnes,

Pick 28

 

[HeavenlySources]

Gonna be interesting to see who’s left on the board tomorrow night. Any mids?

couple of halfbacks

 

[saintbill]

He is 30 and has years ahead of him. You are looking for excuses to sook. Off you go.

You can keep sooking about people sooking. I am just pointing out the obvious, massive imbalances in the list. Did nothing to improve that tonight.

I rate Schoey, I rate Hastie. Both are really going to struggle now. Maybe one day we will turn a half back into a decent mid, but I won't hold my breath.

 

[projectv]

Maybe Garcia can start a game in 2025.

 

[Armoooo]

How's Dixon's form, trying to root Armstrong's mum in front of him

 

[stfan]

Tigers, as expected, are building the framework for a pretty decent future team.

They have 2 more picks about to land.

 

[gringo2011]

What? That Reid wasn't close to pick 8?

Are you back Aka? Didn't you melt down and not want to watch the draft anymore?

 

[akaifu]

Where you been the last couple of days LOL sooking it up a bit

Idk what your problem is but hope we can get along going forward

 

[saintbill]

Tigers have managed to snag a potential gun on every line.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

What’s the point of best available if it’s not what we need

Well, I’m disappointed too, but wait and see in the mid factor for Trav and we don’t have a tall back under 28-29

 

[Coconut_twirl]

Did mick Ablett actually just say Sydney will want to fast track a small forward to release Henry into the midfield ??

Wot??

Well..did you watch the grand final?

 

[Enclosed_Animal]

So we are at the "does his mum think pick 23 can cook stir fry" part of the coverage.

Geez this is painful watching

 

[HeavenlySources]

damn I liked Cody Angove but him to GWS makes sense

 

[Hayes4PM]

What the ****'s a Cody Angove????

 

[billings2paddy]

I mean it's shaping up ok, U25 squad:

B: Hastie Cole Hoffman

HB: Schoenmaker Tauru Travaglia

C: NWM Phillipou Wilson

HF: Henry Caminiti Owens

FF: Higgins King Sharman

R: Keeler, Garcia, Windhager

IC: McLennan, Collard, Clark , Byrnes,

Pick 28

Need more hbf's
Too many A grade mids

 

[beside the seaside]

Which mids are left for us to have a go at tomorrow?

 

[Yawkey way]

What’s the point of best available if it’s not what we need

Do you watch our games, we need plenty.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Think tigers can take risks with this draft haul. They will be ordinary again but wouldn’t be surprised if they shoot up the ladder in 4 to 5 years. They also can attract talent which we struggle with.

If they mess some of these up, then that I’ll be them done for years. Sounds great in theory. Big question marks on many of these.
