The vibes are going to be so good with our young core.

Sure they’re not out and out mids, but they’re the highest rated non-mids in this draft and the best available.

Tauru is already a cult figure, flying Viking bby

 

[projectv]

Let's offer West Coast our F2 for 14 and grab Reid.

 

[SaintersUnite]

Not sure why we didn’t make Essendon pay.

I’m very happy for these kids and I already love them. But I can’t help but feel this deep deep midfield draft that would instantly fix our deep deep midfield woes, is a crock of sh1t.

We did a pick trade with them at the start of the draft to move our 32 up to 28. Was probably part of the negotiation to not bid on Kako.

Tauru gives me massive Roo vibes.

Come on Max give him 12

 

[Joffaboy]

Could we see Tobie Play as a Half Forward / Small Forward.

No everyone who has seen a 3 minute highlight reel this morning have said he will never be a midfielder and will forever play back, just like Gehrig did.

 

[Ads734]

Stick Taru up forward, like a Roo. Stick him on the wing. Stick him in the guts. Just fix his hair. Shocking due

 

[Enclosed_Animal]

Not sure why we didn’t make Essendon pay.

Nope!! I want nobody to bid on him. Absolutely noone

Make Essendon pick him with their first selection. Then they traded pick 9 for absolutely NO reason!

 

[BrutThough]

Thrilled with the two T's.

We just needed talent and both of them bring some x-factor to the list.

 

[t_94]

Twomey 9/9

And people in here thought he doesn’t slam dunk this shit.

Still a virgin tho

 

[saintbill]

These kids may be guns, but **** sake, its a couple of years of development for each.

Will we ever win another clearance?

No. We have Pou as a talented you mid, a B grader prospect in Windy and that is all.

Hoping Garcia comes on, we need it.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Clearances are for povo teams, counter and inshallah is where it's at.

Higgins to get 200 joe the gooses in 2025.

Ross Lyon to be the GOAT attacking coach.

 

[saint66au]

Well looks like another 2-3 years of Clark, Jones and old man McCrae running through the midfield.

Tauru looks like a gun but paired with another defender?

All the talk of mids, mids, mids.

Have absolutely no ball winning prospects. We are actively trying to build an unbalanced list.

Allen, Reid, nah doesn't matter. Winning a clearance is overrated I guess.

Would absolutely back your knowledge and expertise against that of our recruiting staff.

 

[Coconut_twirl]

MIDS MIDS AND MORE MIDDSSSSSSZZ

We got Cole and Hoffman to come. Relax.

 

[Darrian Barnett]

Future first for Reid and i'll be so happy

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Macrae is durable enough to play til he’s 50 we will be right let’s go T&T

 

[stavro#4]

Wow First bolter

 

[Yass03]

Tigers are gonna be sooooooooooooooo stacked

 

[sauce_head]

12 picks. All mids except for two of them. No points for guessing who those two went to.

 

[Verdun]

Ok let us move to round 10 next year:

we need mids

we need mids

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Oh so now Richmond decide to **** around

 

[Coconut_twirl]

Well good luck to the lads.

Our inability to build any kind of balance in our list is not their fault. That Carlton win looking massively costly now. Missed out on 2 gun mids.

Seriously. These guys are yet to play a game. Trust Dalyrimple.

 

[jwikked]

No. We have Pou as a talented you mid, a B grader prospect in Windy and that is all.

Hoping Garcia comes on, we need it.

How is Windhager a B grader prospect lol?

 

[Yass03]

Be fuming if they take shanahan too

 

[The Boar]

With Travaglia and Taura and Cole also, the backline is stacked.

Midfield still going to be a struggle in 2025.
Trade 2025 1st for Murphy Reid or Bo Allen selection?

Look I'll back both boys in. They're Saints now.


But all we've heard all year is that we needed to focus on drafting mids. And at this stage out of our two top 10 picks we've selected defenders. With the hope that they can become more. We've seen this story before so of course there will be a lot of trepidation.
