That’s about the right list and of those the most likely to be remaining are Hotton & Hynes who I think are a level below so then we are crossing our fingers Reid falls through or we are ok to risk it with Trainor.

Allan Travaglia Lindsay Armstrong and Shanahan will all be gone by 15

I would expect something like

8. GWS - Travaglia
9. Mel - Armstrong
10. Rich - Allan
11. Rich - Shanahan or Reid
12. WC - Lindsay
13. Port - Shanahan or Reid
14. Freo - Berry

15. Stk - Hynes
16. Stk - Trainor ? Hotton?

Maybe someone goes earlier on a Whitlock eg. Port if Shanahan is gone but I think the top end of this pool ends at pick 12 or 13 then the next lot through to about 25 are interchangeable depending on preference and risk appetite.

Maybe we know Reid will drop all the way but more likely I think we are one of the clubs who don’t want him all the talk is we like Travaglia Lindsay and Allan none of them will be available at 15

Whitlock is rumoured at Richmond’s 11 or ports 13.

 

[Yawkey way]

Wonder what happened with the talk about Paddy McCartin’s brother?

Nominated for the draft.

 

[akaifu]

How many list spots do we have open?

If I am not mistaken, assuming Crouch stays and the Sandy rookie is covered by Cole/Hofmann/Peckett, we have 7

We have been linked to all of: Armstrong Travaglia Shanahan Lindsay Reid Trainor in the last few weeks. Dodson too!

There are other names who could be in that range aswell.

Dodson Hannaford Dattoli the other Whitlock

 

[ScrappyDo]

Why would you do that? At that point it’s a sellers market. 8 for 10 and 11 is more than enough if they’re desperate.

But they are unlikely to be that desperate. 8 & F1st for 10 & 11 is about right. Some shuffling of later picks would facilitate whatever perceived shortfall on either side.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Allan @ 8
He’s the one we need.

Agreed. I can still see us trading down to 10 and/or 11 depending on players available and intel.

 

[Joffaboy]

we are only guessing

We will see on the night I just rate Reid Allan and Travaglia much higher than the pack behind them.

Our recruiters may have a very different view on the talent than I do. I will happily defer to their expertise and back in whoever we pick. Just think ultimately they will likely hang on to 7 & 8 for all the reasons I have raised.

I think if they hang onto 8 it’s likely because they never got the offer they wanted as opposed to thinking who we get is length of the Flemington straight clear of 9/10/11 etc.

Does his best work in the TAB.

You don’t think your proposal of north trading what looks like a top 5 pick next year for pick 15 or 16 - “insane”?

Yep I think it would be nuts and I wouldn't want it done if I was a North Supporter.

But they've stated they're open to trading their future first for a pick in this year's first round, and that doesn't even get considered until Melbourne's pick 9 from what I can see.

Ron will be moderately happy when it’s over.

Imagine the knots we’d tie ourselves in if we still had another week to wait

At least the last 24 hours will be dissecting Twomey's phantom draft, then his late mail.

 

[SaintWWodonga]

If both Smillie & Langford are available at 7&8.. Do we get both or too similar?

 

[Tommy Wigs]

So are we thinking Monday 6-ish? Late mail similar time on Tuesday?

I don’t want to be at Pearl Jam breaking out to a bit of Cal Twomey.

I don’t want to, but ….

i'd take both unless we got a crazy offer for 8

 

[Pardon me]

Just had a gathering for a family member and Lindsay was in attendance.
Lots of convos with lots of clubs, very impressed with the multiple meetings with the saints.

Makes me think we’re trading 8 for teen picks.

Did you measure up the parents to see if he’ll put on some size?

Can’t comment on that one Tommy, sorry mate.
It was an 18th so not too many oldies there except family.

Would love to take him with a Trainor/Shanahan over pick 8 assuming Tauru is the only non-mid in the top 7

I didn’t mention I was a saints supporter, but he was very glowing in his meetings with the club.
A neutral would walk away thinking he was locked in.
Then again, the draft is a fickle beast.

 

[Mstr Strokesman]

I would say no, each pick needs to compliment each other.A inside slowish with a speedy kicker.
I think Trav is a certainty for pick 8.
We all know how much we love a half back who could transition to midfield

 

[GYoung]

This Mock draft has us Taking
Smillie
Allan

GWS
Hotton
Lindsay
