If we get Callaghan and LDU next year, who needs FoSsil and Lamelor

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

I’d rather Trav than Allan, Bo is a smooth mover but im worried about his disposal at AFL level, in fact I’m worried about his disposal at U18 level.

talks really well! seems like an impressive young kid

 

[Baker_for_PM]

Just curious would more of you on here prefer us to take two of Allan Reid or Lindsay each with their midfield flaws but possible potential over Tauru and Travaglia. Or is it more the Trav pick and Tauru with one of the three above mentioned mids would be fine.

I'm not really fust what we do with our picks, with the changes coming in to trading allowing clubs to trade picks two years into the future making it easier to facilitate moves for contracted players and with our war chest for free agents we may still manage to get the mids we need next year (mids are the easiest to pry out of a club seminally for everyone put us though).

 

[Waiting for Godot]

You reckon the Club will let The Rymp loose for post draft interviews?

"The Rymp!"

That's a pearler.

Happy Draft Day Sainters. Have a blessed day

 

[seasonedsainter]

Tauru will be taken top 5 I reckon. Kid looks like he could end up being best player of draft and one of those players you need three first rounders to trade for in future.

Agree, there’s no way he gets past North and the Dee’s imo. We’ll get one of the “big 6” mids and split 8 I hope.

 

[Jay Beast]

Tauru projecting to be too Scandinavian to be a serious AFL footballer. Hard no from me.

Watch it pal

As much as we all want mids I'm really hoping we snag Tauru.

 

[malevu]

With all the talk about our pressing need for quality mids it's easy to overlook that our back line is pretty threadbare for tall defenders. For all our sh.it luck with injuries we've had a decent run in that regard with our defence over the last few seasons. Now Battle's gone we need to pray the bionic man Wilkie continues his incredible run. It's only a short time ago that Doog's was everyone's whipping boy on here and most wanted him out.

With only spud Cordy as a back up we need Caminiti to step up. All our project defenders we've drafted have fallen by the way side so a major catastrophe is only a couple of injuries away.

Just another reason why Tauru is a def for me.

 

[Ads734]

Serious superstar potential in tar.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

I want Tauru cause it rhymes with ....

Both updated their mocks.

Travaglia and Tauru in both now.

 

[Jayman15]

Interestingly Mick Ablett on Sportsday suggested Kako being bidded on at 10 is a bit high and would have just said to the team bidding you take him then

Tauru & Kako would have been preferable as opposed to Tauru & TT, but there is no way the bombers wouldn’t match

 

[hangdog]

So we're drafting two half backs with mid potential

Kill me now

He also thinks North trade down to Get Tauru + another pick.

But it just isn’t happening is it

You need to take a chill pill, what are you going to do after this is all over? The last time I saw you this obsessed was the Rhys Mathieson draft How did he turn out?

We get who we get, two of the top 10 prospects in Australia, happy days.

Travaglia is a star, an out and out star. Do not want Kako but let’s bid on him for shits and giggles. I’d also seriously consider bidding on Marshall if we swap out our second pick.

Mick Ablett is one of the worst Draft Experts going around. He is a "Feel Good' AFL spokesman that will only ever talk up how good a player is going to be, similar to Sheahan.

He sounded like he had absolutely no idea about what Clubs were up to in that interview.

Go on with my life as per normal until the saints start letting us down again from February.

Thought the same, number 31 coming up!
