St Kilda Said what?

 

[SaintersUnite]

Twomey calling him a small forward, a dead eye. Had a nice kick in highlights.

Graphic had him as a mid though.

The longer this draft has gone the better dalrymple has done

 

[Saint Watto]

It looks that way to me too.

And me too....in reference to a top line mid coming next year.

I just can't help but feel it's part of the strategy over the next 2 years......to many on here it seems that our list management guys have lost the plot.........they have gone "defender stir crazy"

Our 2 "blonde bombshells" selected last night were IMHO....an excellent pick up.....one a possible future foward and another a mid(I'm very confident with Tobie achieving that)

The plan and still is I believe was to hit the draft this year.....and next and go "
full throttle " on free agency at the end of 2025.

I'm guessing that a very very good mid....or two....is in there sights for the end of 2025.

For me....IMHO.....it makes more sense with what we're doing right now......filling KP holes....real or perceived......with the list.

24 goals 6 in 14 games is pretty nuts.

 

[Coconut_twirl]

That's 6 players drafted so far.

That’s Saints done?

 

[Yabadoo22]

So if one of our boys get bidded on now, does that mean we can't match them? As we only have rookie spots left

We still have two more picks. Maybe we pass?

PATRICK SAID GIVE ME THE 2028 BROWNLOW

Patrick Who?

 

[hangdog]

Who?

That's what people said about Garcia last year

 

[sufficientintent]

"Said is full of class with ball in hand. He often assesses his options nicely and shows great poise to side-step opponents, leaning on his agility to do so. His clean set of hands and neat skills make for efficient work in the front half of the ground, where Said does most of his work. While he often goes by foot, he hardly rushes."

Can't be upset with that

 

[HeavenlySources]

The longer this draft has gone the better dalrymple has done

He gets free reign, too much politics on night 1 got to keep Cal Twomey happy by selecting exactly what's in his Phantom Draft or the AFL publicly executes you

 

[Plugger35]

 

[Diehard Saint]

We have killed this draft on a pure talent basis.

We have genuinely gone full upside on each pick.

Wow. I’m so very impressed.

Oh….ALL ye of little faith!

Maybe the club DOES know what it’s doing afterall.

 

[malevu]

Is it too soon to make a Kim Duthie joke?

I think I've seen that movie.

 

[TheJackal]

If his nickname isn't Simon are we even trying anymore?

Can't wait to get down to training to watch this crop!

 

[Goofy975]

Any chance we still get Cole?
