He is an idiot. Sadly.

He believes we are really called Saint Kilda because ST is an abbreviation of Saint.

Seriously. He was telling me this on Twitter. For the world to see.

Poor fellow. Be kind to him.

Does supporting Richmond instantly drop your IQ by 20 points? It certainly feels that way a lot of the time. Speaking to some Richmond fans feels like talking to your 8 year old nephew.

Seriously let’s just bid on Lombard Kako and Marshall back to back to back starting at 7 (8).

Let’s waste the full time doing it aswell.

 

[St Neil]

We will see

What about 8 for 10 & 11?

Works well for both clubs.

 

[Pou Steele]

Should sticky that.

It might sticky itself.

 

[Armoooo]

Thanks for silly %, deserved the answer I gave it.

[Tommy Wigs]

Where is that fella and his Bo Allan connection?

Live around the corner from Princes Park so went and watched the CTL GF, Marshall is probably the next best midfielder alongside Reid. Both looked supreme in that game (Reid up until / time) would be happy with him at [emoji[emoji6]] if Brisbane didn’t match.

 

[Saint Shags]

Can’t wait for us to draft 4 defenders, a Ruck, A half forward (Peckett) and likely a tall at 32

This is the thing that stumps me the most. We've been calling out for mids, the clubs acknowledged our mid issue. And we are looking at bringing in 4 defenders. Its as if we haven't learnt anything for the last 14 years.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Yeah nah, that's a net win of pick 14 for you on the draft points.

 

[St Neil]

Cal’s late mail and whispers doesn’t really change much. Looks like we are locked in to Tobie Travaglia at 7 and Alix Tauru at 8.

Brace for impact! The melts are coming.

Everything hinges on Adelaide at pick 4.

If they take Draper then it’s status quo. If they take Langford then Draper will slide to us.

Twomey said it’s a lineball call.

Does anyone know what the Adelaide board think will happen?

 

[Joffaboy]

Looking forward to T and T. Let's see who shows their true colours buy bagging the shit out of a kid tomorrow night.

Why stop there? Let’s trade 7 to Richmond for 18 and pick 71 as well

 

[Sippa]

This is the year twomey gets it wrong . He even said as much he’s struggling to predict this year

Adelaide will do the right thing and take Langford

 

[Banger9798]

Reckon it could be Tauru and Allan.

That's pretty power packed to be fair.

If Tauru taken earlier by North, we take Langford/Smilie and Allan

I'd be happy with either.

F1 sounds like nobody is interested in first round. I'd deal it for a top 20 pick.

 

[Joffaboy]

Sellers market. You want Smillie, cough up. Your choice.
Personally Tauru and Smillie suits me. Up to you guys. Nothing fair about the trade, way it is.

Nah, we got plenty of other picks, we'll pick Smilie with pick 6, if he's not there we'll pick another top 6 mid.

 

[sauce_head]

The top 6 midfielders will be gone before our pick, I think we all thought we would take 1 or 2 midfielders.

I think the consensus is we are going to pick on best available, rather than by position.

I think it’s a little depressing tbh, having 2 top 10 picks and not taking 1 mid. We will see what happens tomorrow.

Okay, thanks for explaining.

**** YOU HIGGO!

I think bagging the club is more it. I don’t think anyone has actually ever bagged the kid himself. as Twomey said hel probably be a ‘pretty good 200 game half back’ Melbourne roll in with an already star studded midfield and look like they are gonna get my dream haul of Langford and Lindsay. We will get behind them and next year when we get obliterated in the clearances again and have no young talent stepping up in there supporters will get frustrated and go omg I thought X Y Z had a massive pre season training with the midfielders! I feel like we’ve had this discussion since 2017 on getting up to the high end of the draft and securing an elite level mid. There’s 6 of them in this draft and we have pick 7 that’s the melts.

 

[saintmike65]

Absolutely!

There is 0% chance Lions don't match the bid.

Yep…make them pay a premium

 

[Goofy975]

Screw it let's just draft Bo Allan with our #7 biggest risk but has the highest ceiling. Imagine if he becomes a competent Midfielder

 

[Saint Shags]

Won't bag out the players.
I'll question the club though.

 

[Saint Shags]

There’s 6 of them in this draft and we have pick 7 that’s the melts.

And for all the joy that Higgins gave us at the end of the season. That one goal could push the midfield build back further than we want.

 

[saintmike65]

I get Richmond and North not doing it. You want to sell the future to the fans, and having your prized pick be a consolation prize kind of undercuts that.

Surely Carlton bid though.

Possibly today -as in ten minutes ago- because when I switched on he was talking although I missed that part.
He did say SOS likes to make clubs pay - maybe bidding on Kako.

He’ll likely bid on Kako & Lombard

 

[Joffaboy]

Nah, we got plenty of other picks, we'll pick Smilie with pick 6, if he's not there we'll pick another top 6 mid.

Sweet. Not up to us to trade 8, you want it you pay for it.
No worries you take Smillie, we will take Tauru and Draper
Happy days.

If we do take Travaglia and Tauru I’m living in fantasy land for 12 months where Callaghan and LDU have already committed to us for 2026.
