well that rounds off a disappointing draft period....3 defenders...ffs why not just make sure we kept Battle and go for mid fielders that we desperately need.

Worth remembering battle was drafted as a fwd

 

[Saintos The ITK]

We’re obviously trading back in.

 

[Grav]

2027, ‘28, ‘29 we should get pick 8 in each draft, when someone comes knocking for each of our selections so far.

 

[SaintJunior]

Surely we're not taking Cole and Hoffman, you can't bring in 5 defenders in one draft

If we do then they have lost the plot .

 

[Saint12]

Jack Whitlock looks like a future star

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Says what clubs think about the Whitlocks. They don’t make it in my eyes.

 

[Jezzarayman]

We have drafted 3 of the 6 Vic Country defence hahahahahaha - we are being trolled right?

 

[Saints43]

The Ross Lyon 18 defender game plan is coming along nicely

 

[ThomasR]

Barrat is a great pick IMO. We don't need a developing ruckman right now.

Kicking needs some tidying up but this is a good watch

 

[Joffaboy]

Take a defender and leave Whitlock on the table.
Will be like taking Long with Shai Bolton

sweet so LDU is now going to be offered $2.5m over 10 years

 

[PoppedCorn]

lol

 

[L_W_P]

Barrat ave almost 2 goals a game.

Not bad for a 'defender'

 

[Sippa]

I’m fine with it .. we’ve got no developing talks .. keeler no guarantee , schoenmaker not a key

I don’t want us to just take a mid because we need them .. if we have players rated higher just take them and work the rest out

 

[moirae42]

woweee

 

[pebblesofsand]

Defender - sometimes!!

"A product of the Leitchville-Gunbower Football Club, Barrat first represented their senior side in the Heathcote District Football League in 2021 at just 14-years-old, managing eight goals from six games. He also contributed 36 goals from 12 games in the Under 18 competition."

 

[StCicatriz]

Club is clearly loading up on talls that can play both ends.

Travaglia gonna be developed as a mid option.

Our KPP stocks were pretty shit so might as well grab the better rated tall rather than mid #16 on the depth chart

Tbh

The time to address the midfield was in the first round. Not the 2nd and 3rd round.

They just need to take best available and see what happens. Take a few risks.


I think the whole in the midfield is so big now from consecutive drafts that the 2nd and 3rd rounds ain't going to help much.

 

[The Cobra]

Surely we have a rolled gold commitment from a developed mid.

Couldn’t agree more - LDU and/or Callaghan?

 

[Saints43]

This will allow Doogs to move to full forward.
Just a bit of forward planning.

 

[_Maximus_12]

Apparently Dougal called the club asking if he could go in and clear out his locker tonight

 

[aidansbonor]

I was all for picking the best available and backing in the club last night but 5 defenders, really, ffs

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Geez they’ve got a horn over the Whitlocks haven’t they.

 

[MightySaint]

Am I reading this right, he's not even 18 yet?

 

[Munga]

The new format starting 18 created by St Kilda:

Def - King - Def
Def - Def - Def
Def - Def - Def
Def - Def - Def
Def - Def - Def
Ruck - Def - Def

 

[StCicatriz]

sweet so LDU is now going to be offered $2.5m over 10 years

He still won't come
