Appreciate this. Anything on Hotton? Or anything related to West Coast?

Yes we often pay attention to the West Coast rumours over here on the Saints Draft board

When does Cal’s phantom draft come out?

Apparently Monday week, he does them so late that I miss the days of Emma Quayle or Burgatron - they were less accurate but they backed themselves and put it out early enough to be interesting.

 

[_Maximus_12]

I think he'd want to see a bit of on field success. If we get rolling then I think he'll re-sign. I'd be concerned if we are bottom four

Well he’s hardly going to be excited by the prospect of playing for Adelaide if that’s part of the criteria

And as soon as Hunter accepts what's going on under that headband the hair won't be the same either.

I bet you’re bald.
Only bald people who shave their heads care/get offended by balding people keeping their hair.

Skullets rule.

Yes Harley Reid keen to get back bayside ASAP apparently.

Yep. Although he now has his weekly show, it’s so generic as to be a tad pointless. Then suddenly 24-48 hours to go and we know pick by pick.

Diehard Saint Can't find the post but think it was you asking about Carroll being delisted.
Was about 2 weeks ago.

Fair ask IMO!

 

[GYoung]

A few recruiters are of the belief that it’s either Langford or Draper for us.

Smillie goes 6

Trainers range is around 15.

Allan 9-12

Travaglia 8-12

So it is not seen that Saints would take Allan 8

Hey I’m not a track watcher and don’t see much under age football. But the last two
years I have been interested as two guys that have gone to school with my daughter have popped up.
Mitch Edward’s got picked last year by Geelong and Bo Allan is up this year. Before anyone asks my daughter says he is a douche. I don’t particularly care, if he is a good footy player then I want him playing footy for us.
My question is how many kids that get picked up are not going to school that year. Both Bo and my daughter graduated last year. So he has had a full year where he can solely concentrate on Footy, no exams no school, he has just been able to fully immerse himself into being a better footballer.

Surely this is an advantage and makes him stand out as a footballer this year, does anyone think this would lessen his future growth as opposed to other draftees who have been juggling their final year of school and playing footy??

He has some terrific traits, speed, power, good overhead & competitive!
Bo also has upside…all in all would be a good pick up

Luxurious barnet. Almost Harvey-like in my dotage.
Balding is bald. It's in the name.

Twomey also does an update on his phantom draft, late whispers he hears

 

[saintmike65]

Are you hearing any other news? anyone else we are really into? Anyone we are not interested in?

No way he’d end up past Adelaide pick

 

[akaifu]

I’m at a corporate event and a few in the industry are talking generally


Carlton apparently love Jagga.

Lock Draper in for us then

Given what you've reported:

if Adelaide take FOS (like we expect) then Draper gets to us with Melb & Rich taking Langford+Smillie

if Adelaide take Draper over FOS then Langford gets to us with Melb & Rich taking FOS+Smillie (or Smillie if Rich opt for Langford which sounds unlikely)

 

[saintmike65]

So if Adelaide trade-up to pick 2 and take FOS then Draper is likely to get to Saints?

Carlton would take Draper at #3

 

[saintmike65]

“Wanganeen-Milera is a watch unfortunately if your a saints fan”

“ADELAIDE already indicating big years and big dollars for him”

Would require 2 first round picks

Hotton “would have been a top 5 pick” “ACLs do scare clubs”

And only thing mentioned from memory about eagles was that you were one of like 6 clubs mentioned that like Travaglia.

So it is not seen that Saints would take Allan 8

It’s not seen that we will have pick 8 is what I took away from that.

Thats from 3 recruiters and 2 industry heavyweight player agents.

 

[akaifu]

Would require 2 first round picks

Including 1 top 10 pick minimum

 

[stavro#4]

I think he's settled enough at the club by now. Would be amazed if NWM isn't re-signed for the long term next year.

Nah, if you understood how close he was to leaving last time - you’d also probably agree it’s not going to be so straightforward this time.

I expect at some point he’s going to play in Adelaide I just hope like hell it’s not something he asks to do when he’s out of contract.
He’d be worth 2 firsts in 12 months time if he wasn’t OOC

 

[saintmike65]

Travaglia v Allan.

Both incredibly similar on paper.

Who's the better draft prospect?

Both will be good AFL players…personally I think Allan can make more of a difference to the makeup of our team

Really? Was he actually that close to leaving? What would we even do without Nas.......

 

[saintmike65]

Watching the clips, Shanahan covers the ground better, attacks the ball on the lead. Moves a lot like Joe Daniher.

I don't see the hype with Armstrong

On Pixel 6a using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yeah I’d prefer Shanahan

 

[stavro#4]

At certain points he was gone.

Few others on here got the same info.

 

[The Jack]

My info is that he’s as happy as a pig in shit. No need for concern.
