Did teams forget about the Camporeale boys?

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Barrat has played mainly as a lead-up forward - leading goal kicker in the CTL after round six with 18 goals. Was swung into defense late in the year, playing the last 7 games at CHB. He isn't just another backman who has potential to go forward. He is also an actual forward as well. Plenty of draft-watchers have been raving about him all year.

Yep some of this blow up is embarrassing. Just wait and see how it shakes out. This would even bring the Grim Reaper down. This kid could really be a beauty.

 

[Joffaboy]

When the dust dies down, there is a theme here that we need to unpack a little.

Tauru, Barat and even Trav are all swingmen / utility / multi position types

Add that to Sharman, Wood, Owens, Pou etc etc

All 'in-between' size at 188 - 194. Not quite KPP build, but bigger and stronger than most mids / flankers.

All can really run and mark. And there is something about that 'type' that we clearly love, and I assume, we are building a gameplan around.

Pair that with players that can run all day and spread, and we are really prioritizing being able to cover anywhere and everywhere on the ground

Lyon loves speed, said he took the Saints job because they could run.

We showed if we got on the outside, nobody could outrun us.
I am trying to be logical about these trades, has to be a method in their madness.

I beg of you St Kilda recruiters... But a crumb of midfield prospects, please.

 

[SaintJunior]

Really need to expand the recruiting Budget.

Looks like we could only attend Vic Country games

 

[stavro#4]

No one going to mention that we don’t need to point match now…

And we still have a live pick….

 

[MightySaint]

Did teams forget about the Camporeale boys?

Both pretty mediocre. It's at the point now where there is no point in bidding unless you actually think you can get the player.

 

[HeavenlySources]

Archer Day-Wicks at 58??

 

[stavro#4]

Really need to expand the recruiting Budget.

Looks like we could only attend Vic Country games

We did the entire metro thing a decade ago.

Mummies boys everywhere.

 

[saintbill]

Is he that much better than Barrat?

Or was his name put higher up in mock drafts, overinflating his value?

Both brothers went way later than most expected.

I am by no means a draft expert, I just want to see some balance on the list.

We clearly need another tall forward.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Ffs Port actually have competent list management. Picked both Whitlock and Moraes

Whitlock drifted this far for a reason. He’s very thin and said to lack physicality. Ie, soft.

While Moraes can’t kick.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Would love the club to explain why they passed on Whitlock

Maybe he won’t turn out, what a stupid thing to request of a club. I for one want greater competitiveness and body strength than the twins.

 

[SteeleSaints]

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.

I think we might grab a ruckman late in the draft or as a rookie.

Sorry, no, it's Riley Bice!

 

[L_W_P]

Riley Bice!?!

Didn't we delist him like 6 years ago!?!

 

[g_TRAIN]

James Barret is a good get. Pretty underrated by the looks of things

 

[Joffaboy]

And we still have a live pick….

Have we got 4 spots though?

West Coast trade back in could be after the box maan

 

[Hayes4PM]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww what the fuuuuck. Why aren't we trying to get one of those Brisbane 3rd rounders??? They aren't even going to use them.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Good Lord....finals here we come.

All-things-being-equal, that will be a better midfield than the one we made finals with the year before.

 

[L_W_P]

I am by no means a draft expert, I just want to see some balance on the list.

We clearly need another tall forward.

Go look at Barrat mate.

Ave 2+ goals a game as a forward before being moved to CHB.

He's James Sicily/Josh Battle all over again.

 

[BrutThough]

I hope Brisbane dont match here

 

[SteeleSaints]

No one going to mention that we don’t need to point match now…

And we still have a live pick….

Hopefully we are working the phones trying to get back in before #51 to grab another.

 

[ESPN8 The Ocho]

Yeah, sure...until Geelong, Essendon, Collingwood, and Carlton all swoop in with lesser offers, and we're once again left at the alter trying to blow up a sex doll for prides sake.

Ah, the Lovely Lolita.
Give her a love bite and she farts and flies out the window.

 

[TheJackal]

FU Geelong. Ty Gallop, who? Better not try it on for us as well.

Boxshall still there, actually still a lot of talent around. My roughie Jacob Newton too. I don't love Gross, but Rory Sloane
