Good night, Boxshall and Dodson look like great value picks. Barrat some on here right so happy to back him in. Can't wait to see the lads at the club and training.

6 new pressies. Monday for me. Gee, we have a young list now

 

[Plugger35]

Who are the winners? (Excluding Saints)

Eagles? Port?

Richmond but you would expect them to when they had the best draft hand by far.

[TheJackal]

With the draft basically finished, I'd like to turn our attention to the recruiter in the Essendon recruiting team. Apart from our picks, she's a highlight of the night!

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Said’s brother was a very very good player for Sunbury in the bfl. Hope he can replicate in the big league.

Who Said this?

 

[malevu]

FFS Geelong go and get stuffed, we didn't have the picks to match did we? I really wanted another Lenny on the list.

Always want a quick kid who can kick good, no matter how raw. Shame. I hate Geelong

They did the seeming impossible a few years back and replaced the Pies as my most hated team. Good to see they've done their best again to keep my ranking.

 

[StFly]

And now we cross to Laura Kane

If you were just drafted, on behalf of the AFL we apologise for that ending, she didn't take her zenax.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Just got in.
Assuming Cole comes via cat B now.
Can anyone point me to see how the trades took place?

They, Richmond and Sydney are the ballsiest when it comes to bidding - Cats were the ones who bid on Windy

 

[Diehard Saint]

Who Said this?

This is going to become pun central isn’t it?
Can we get it over and done with tonight?

 

[Sir Owens]

Adelaide board has a few posts insinuating some sort of incident is the reason Dodson dropped

Didn't make his bed apparently. Surprised we took the risk.

If you were just drafted, on behalf of the AFL we apologise for that ending, she didn't take her zenax.

I'd say she's useless but that would be an improvement. She's not even good at being a shill which is basically all her job entails.

 

[ThomasR]

Looks like we traded our own F4 for Said and kept the Bombers'. Love to see it

Phew, I thought we'd traded our second and fourth for 45

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Why do I feel like we’ll still draft a mature ruckman tomorrow.

I'm not sure there's anyone who will end up better than Campbell was, and i'd rather back Heath in to be the backup, if needed and hope that Dodson develops pretty quickly.

 

[Sully111]

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Pretty sure they can go cat b rookie

At least Cole can

Think we already have our quota of two Cat.B Rookies in McLennan & O'Connell.

So, just one Cat A rookie spot left? for tomorrow.

Even though we took Dodson- who will take awhile.

Think we still may take Harry Boyd.

 

[Pou Steele]

You didn’t miss much…

 

[Pou Steele]

Impossible. What you say tonight is Said tomorrow.

 

[Plugger35]

Old Shifter Sheehan seemed quite impressed with our draft haul.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Think we already have our quota of two Cat.B Rookies in McLennan & O'Connell.
So, reckon we pick Boyd & Peckett tomorrow as Cat A's.
Is Curtis Taylor still an option? doubt it now.

Can have 3 cat B's

 

[stavro#4]

We take country boys evidently under the dimple mate.

Do you make your bed is no longer on the getting drafted by stkilda questionnaire

Don't think we rookie Boyd after landing Slider Dodson

 

[malevu]

This article suggested that Dodson could be the first selected tonight and Geelong were considering offering a F1 to get him. That's quite a steal if true.

The SEVEN best AFL Draft prospects still available and the clubs that could select them

A handful of top-rated teenagers were overlooked last night but could fetch picks early into Thursday’s proceedings.

The article on the AFL site is old, it's just two now as per the 2023-27 CBA
