Oh Doc....you've absolutely done it again !!!!!!!!

I pi$$ed myself when I saw your pic.

One of your Friday specials no doubt.

What's the chance that Trainor's concussion issues are a ruse for us to pick him at 8?

Local peninsula boy ...... played for Sandy ... went to Brighton Grammar .... spent a week training with us ..... we know how good he is

Do we have the nuts to pull off such a scam?

Funny we have already had a Luke Trainor play for St Kilda .... 4 games in 1926

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Trainor

Kicked a goal in every game he played

good pick up,love to see that stuff

We pass on Smillie in this mock loool

Was it your mate doing the mock?

 

[jimmytigs]

Langford & Reid?

Or

Langford & Allan?

langford and reid

safety first,proper mid and no go home factor,starting to warm to langford/reid tauru/reid,but still love the split 8 option,if we could get reid still by doing that im in raptures

 

[St Kilda Death]

Langford & Reid?

Or

Langford & Allan?

Allan.
Or split 8 and get both

 

[Barrels]

SPP? What on earth

There’s controversial takes, and then there’s ridiculous ones.

This is not the the former.

 

[TheJackal]

He’s definitely fallen due to the perceived McCartin factor, whether that’s fair or not.

Just noticed Harley Reid just got another concussion, is that 2 or 3 in 3 years?

If we split pick 8 and he's there at our second teens pick, he's just too good to pass up. Top 5 pick on talent.

Dreaming of a world where we split pick 8 and still end up with Reid and Trainor. Surely we can't be that lucky!

 

[StCicatriz]

To be fair you never rated him

We surveyed 13 AFL recruiters. This is how we predict the draft will unfold

The best and brightest young football prospects in the land will learn their fate in next week’s AFL draft. We’ve studied the form and the needs of the clubs to devise our phantom draft for the first round of selections.

That really is making a mockery of his mock.

Paywalled, can you give a list of recruits in order?

I would be over the moon with FOS and Allan

 

[akaifu]

Paywalled, can you give a list of recruits in order?

1. Lalor
2. Tauru
3. Jagga
4. Draper
5. Langford
6. Ashcroft
7. Smillie
8. FOS (us) ("If not: O’Sullivan is off the board – a huge possibility – and the Saints go for whomever is left between Langford, Smillie and Draper. Allan is another contender here.")
9. Travaglia (but could live trade with Fremantle or take Allan)

They make it seem like a slider is highly likely which is promising

The writer hasn’t caught up with the bigfooty goss yet obviously

 

[Yawkey way]

Twomey was indicating from pick 20 onwards the other day

Don’t believe it to be honest, I think there’s some games being played with this kid he’s too good to fall that far. Too many teams love him, I also think we’ve reached peak Twomey. Imo he’s called the top very accurately, now with live trading teams are starting to play their cards closer or putting out players hoping teams will jump at shadows. I wouldn’t tell him anything past we love the top 3, what’s in it for us ?.

Clubs don’t tell him directly. They tell him what they have pieced together about other clubs.

Bassat said as much during the saints tv interview. That our recruiters have a way of accurately predicting how it will play out (not 100% but close)

Was wondering that myself.
How long until clubs start feeding red herrings to twomey.

 

[GYoung]

In this mock we take

Allan split 8 and get Reid and Shanahan and Luke Trainor was still available. All 6 mids off the table at our first pick

 

[Yass03]

Hear me out, pick 7, 8, and next years first. For 6, 10/11, and 18?

 

[Enclosed_Animal]

Hear me out, pick 7, 8, and next years first. For 6, 10/11, and 18?

Do Richmond get the offer of lube?

 

[Yass03]

Do Richmond get the offer of lube?

If they ask nicely, I’ll think about it .

 

[Armoooo]

Do Richmond get the offer of lube?

7 and 8 for 6 and 10 is pretty fair, especially if North take Tarau.

How is our future first for what will end up pick 21 an unfair deal. If I was list manager I wouldn't even consider making the offer with there being a fair chance our future first is a top 5 pick.

Surely FOS could slide to us! That would be crazy.
