[Miha]

Well I knew peckett had something but I didn’t expect him to play full back

St Kilda ruining careers before they even start

Where is Max Heath?

Where is Max Heath?

Didn’t join in main training. Had the red singlet on. No idea what that means.

Am I silly to hope for a surprise debut

Jack Hayes, geez I'd almost forgotten about him!

Great to see him back! Sadly it might be impractical for us to keep him on our list.

 

[GTrains Love Child]

So is giving kids in the upcoming draft a run through Sandy the way we go about picking up a “Sandy” player in the draft?

Dying on the vine

He'll be rookied by Port next year. Such a shame.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Dying on the vine

Nice...

Not happening this week.

Dying on the vine

It's a difficult act with many young rucks. Pick em too early and they go sour. Pick em too late and someone else will get em or they just as you day die on the vine.

He's coming into an age now where he should he playing senior footy.

I hope not.
If we want the scheme to work, finding loopholes isn't the way to do it.

The idea was never to give StKilda the best rookie choice "this year".

Well it hasnt worked this year, the Sandringham supp list remains very ordinary, they made zero improvements. Where are all these want to be AFL players going to come from?

Probably should have kept playing that kid they brought in for 2 games before dropping him after deciding not to bother to qualify him for the mid season draft.

He couldn’t have been any worse than the choices we are currently faced with.

We had a couple sign on who missed the draft last year i think. Hall Kahan and another i think.
One of them will probably get the spot.
When other players including from this year's draft see him get on an AFL list, maybe there might be a few wanting to sign up with the Zebs.

Docking, O'Leary, Will Brown were the ones who missed the draft and they've shown nothing

Hall-Kahan was delisted by Sydney. We could pick him purely for forward depth without many expectations but with his work ethic, he doesn't deserve it one bit

Sam Latreille has been a solid Butler-type pressure forward but he has a very limited ceiling

Hipwell, Watson, Blamires, Zagari, and Lowe are the main contenders - maybe Vesely if we need a tall forward

The Saints and Sandringham alignment is a sh*t fight. They are 15th in a 20 odd team competition and wont even get into the top 10.

Not one Sandringham supp player is worthy of being placed on an AFL list. Hall-Kahn was delisted by Sydney for a reason he is not AFL standard.

Although we have a long history of giving others clubs rubbish a go, so I guess nothing would surprise. Particularly given its one the deapest drafts in recent history - how St Kilda. If our club wastes a list position on one they are a far worst run club than we thought.

So you think they should make a promise like they did, then renege on it?

 

[Dr Spaceman]

We could always hope that none of them nominate for the draft

 

[jumperfan]

Can't we just rookie one? Doesn't waste a draft pick then.

 

[akaifu]

The Sandy kid? That's always been the plan

The issue is wasting a list spot on one when we could instead take a more promising talent from the national draft in what is a deep draft

 

[SteeleSaints]

Sandringham have to maintain their end, they simply didnt attract any decent talent. So we arent reneging if they dont hold up their part in the agreement.

They brought it in this year. It's going to take a whole season for wannabe AFL players to see the system in action before any sign up to Sandy. That means honouring the contract and giving the Sandy kid a proper chance at St Kilda. People aren't stupid, they will recognise lip service and loopholes.

100% this. This club needs to get ruthless.
