All things are right in the world when there is a big blonde Saint standing on opposition heads.

Big Carl, Barks, Roo and now TAURU!!!!!

Very happy, and gives me the shot I was hoping for heading into next year.

 

[BrutThough]

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.

No reason why Wilson won't spend more time in the middle, in the same way Holmes does at Geelong.

 

[Diehard Saint]

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.

Forgot about Pou, Windy, Garcia, Dow, Carroll, Wilson and Henry did you?

 

[Hayes4PM]

Tigers have Lalor, Smillie and Hotton... and they've still got another pick right now. KENTS.

 

[Crow till I die]

Come on lads we’ve gotta back in Travalgia.

He’s one of us now. Welcome mate

Great get for you guys - I would have been very happy with him at Adelaide. 5 years time, he could easily be one of the very best from this draft and be your Will Day.

 

[Yawkey way]

Richmond haha glad that’s not us so far, might be wrong but . Must be a tall with their 4th pick.

 

[JimmyR20]

"I've never been one to compare myself to AFL players because they're up there and I'm down here."

I think I'm in love.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

The fact that no one bid and they gave up a top 10 pick means they’re paying

Totally how the system should work.
No problemo.

 

[Joffaboy]

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

Will we ever win another clearance?

So even if they were mids they would need development. Have some faith in Wilson, Pou, Garcia plus multiple AA Macrae. Steele, Dow, Henry and Clark.

Stay fit and they can beat most midfields like they did against Geelong, Sydney, Carlrton, Essendon and almost Port in the last 8 weeks

 

[Plugger35]

Haha we got two great young fellas there get around em

Yeah I think we've done OK, we've got two great youngsters with a lot of potential and a coach in RTB to get the best out of them.

No point whinging about the players we didn't get, just focus on the players we did get, a lot of other clubs wanted them as well.

 

[jwikked]

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

Go back to any draft thread and you'll see people getting it wrong.

Coffield and Clark were going to be the answer. Hugh Goddard and Paddy McCartin, the two ends of the ground sorted. Billings, what a steal.

 

[saintbill]

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

Thanks. Backing the club's judgment has proven to be an excellent strategy the last 12+ years hasn't it?

I don't see any other club consistently ignoring mids the way we do. What would they know, we are the smart ones I guess.

 

[Ads734]

Its fine I am I want Jevan Phillapou anyways.

 

[Sainter93]

Might as well stack the backline since the ball is going to be living down there without a midfield

 

[TheJackal]

Let's be honest, Don's stuffed up and Ablett is the only one saying it.

We now join a dozen other clubs trying to move back in to the firsr round, no chance in my opinion. I wasn't going to post tonight, probably shouldn't. Super deflated, not because of Trevaglia, just because it's just such an unlucky cursed club we support having missed those mids.

 

[_Maximus_12]

LDU is the real winner here. Our desperate asses will make him the first $2m player

 

[Barrels]

 

[Banger9798]

Don’t worry about mids. Hugo going to be a gun!

I reckon too
Pou, Hugo, Windy and Wilson....got some quality developing there

 

[Pardon me]

I for one, welcome our TnT overlords

 

[beside the seaside]

Really excited to see what Tobie can do. He's pretty slight but looks like a tough nut. Great hands and can obviously run all day. If he can put a bit more zip into his kick he will be a gun.

Tauru looks insane. In that final where he dominated they just put him forward or back depending on which way the wind was going.

 

[Veer Right]

Tauru looks like a young version of the lead singer of Def Leopard

 

[sauce_head]

Taking Richmond five minutes to make their pick 13 selection after they surprised themselves with their pick 12. Must be scrambling…

 

[J_Rod]

Reckon big Ari is sweating watching this...

" We had the resources to sack up and move up the draft we bauked. "

You need the other clubs to be involved in any trade. There has not been one live trade. Obviously nobody wanted pick 8 or wanted to screw us as well.

 

[botts]

Well we got TnT, some would say that Dynamite
