"Barrat showed impressive versatility this year. He booted 16.18 from his first six Coates Talent League games"

Well he kicks like a Saint already

Tobie won the B&F over Harley Reid by playing twice as many games in 2023. In 2024 Barrat won the B&F over Tobie.

Barrat will be better than Harley Reid, pretty much confirmed now.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Am I reading this right, he's not even 18 yet?

He’s there for when we lose Ari.

 

[aussierulesrules]

They said he was playing forward but then when he went to nationals he was switched back, so like Tauru, it sounds like he can play either end of the ground, and they’re both great runners for their size.

Ross spotted doing doughies in the car park after we pick our 7th defender for the night

 

[stavro#4]

Apparently Dougal called the club asking if he could go in and clear out his locker tonight

Oh If that’s the case. Let’s draft 2 more key backs

 

[Barrels]

Apparently prefers to play as a forward…

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

Am I reading this right, he's not even 18 yet?

Correct. He’s 32.

 

[Broski]

everyone get around Damian. Gonna be a ripper

 

[SteeleSaints]

We just drafted our next CHB Barrat is a ripper (& Saints supporter), plus he is a competent swingman. Welcome to the club James and I like that we are drafting kids in clusters.

He's kicking from full back!!!!

 

[botts]

Barrat is a great pick IMO. We don't need a developing ruckman right now.

Kicking needs some tidying up but this is a good watch

Is he playing as a mid here

 

[Banger9798]

You always tend to do this. Attack everyone for having an opinion then turning around and having the same said opinion.

Huh?
Who have I ever attacked??
Get a grip

Great. Not even 195cm, and not a great kick. Absolutely what we don't need.

Tbh

The time to address the midfield was in the first round. Not the 2nd and 3rd round.

They just need to take best available and see what happens. Take a few risks.


I think the whole in the midfield is so big now from consecutive drafts that the 2nd and 3rd rounds ain't going to help much.

I think the talk of our midfield is entirely overstated.

Turns 18 on Saturday. Close enough.

 

[Ricochet]

What's with the melts we have Harley,brashaw and ldu incoming so mids are sorted

my god still guns on the table...

 

[BrutThough]

The new format starting 18 created by St Kilda:

Def - King - Def
Def - Def - Def
Def - Def - Def
Def - Def - Def
Def - Def - Def
Ruck - Def - Def

Higgins dropped for kicking that goal?

 

[saintbill]

Forward line cupboard is ridiculously bare.

 

[Armoooo]

I think he meant to quote joffaboy

 

[True Blue Saint]

So difficult to get on board with what we've done here.

What happens if Marshall goes down? Heath? Keeler? Throw Hammer in the ruck?

They're our options now.

Could've taken the best ruck in the draft but nope, let's grab another defender.

 

[projectv]

Strange that there hasn't been any trades yet.

Surely we'd consider flipping our F2 for something here?

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Is he playing as a mid here

Looks pretty bloody good as a mid here??
