Solid tumour , Melbourne have Ed Allan in their cross hairs.

Lot of stressed posters

One in particular

Solid tumour , Melbourne have Ed Allan in their cross hairs.

Wouldn't shock me at all.

Has some limitations, principally his disposal, but he's otherwise a sound modern footballer

 

[TheJackal]

If the next 10 picks from 8 onwards are 'fairly even' then why would GWS give the Saints 2 of them for pick 8?

Caruso does some strange things at the table on draft night

Eg giving Saints a future 2nd last year to move up 1 spot when they were never going to take Leake over Darcy Wilson.

You've misread last year's trade for Leake. Sure, they only swapped spots with us and we loved Wilson - but there were 16 other clubs in the running for that pick which got Leake.

A fairly even draft is one thing, but every recruiter will still have their favourites. If GWS have identified someone like Travaglia, Reid, Allen or Armstrong as a must have - then they'll be in a good position to pay up for their guy. GWS have a lot more talent on their list compared to St Kilda so can afford to zero in on a player they love moreso that a rebuilding club with list holes eveywhere who would love two bites at the cherry.

No they said solid tumour. I assume that means Ed Allan might have cancer

Would fit in with the Dees current culture then.

[Pure_Ownage]

Likely.

But Twomey himself said there is a world that Smillie Langford or Draper all get to the saints at 7.

Smillie and Langford might.

No way Draper gets that far.

Can it be operated on?

 

[richoatthedisco]

I think we would offer 8 and 32.

It wouldn’t look so bad then would it.

GWS might give you 16 and 21 for that if there's someone at 8 they really want.

 

[Mostyn]

No. With questions on Trac and Clarry, Melbourne need midfielders, top shelf midfielders and then their next need would be a top young defender and as for their forward stocks being bang average, Jefferson is coming along nicely in the reserves, Bailey Fritch is only 27, Harrison Petty can play both ends, Luker Kentfield who they grabbed from WA is a key forward, this is why they got him. With Lever and May getting on they really need another good tall defender down there.

Jefferson doesn't look that likely to make it. Petty is a defender, Fritsch is a flanker, Kentfield is maybe a 5% chance of making it.

 

[Mostyn]

No they don’t.

But I’m enjoying the toys being thrown here because I said your club is on the cusp of relocation

Why don't we all just agree that both St Kilda and North are shithouse?

Then we can move on.

[Mostyn]

The sharp turn from Draper preferring not to be drafted by the Crows to now being a flight risk back to SA is whiplash inducing

You missed the step where the Crows trade up in order to get Jagga Smith.

Oh look, someone else entering:

 

[Makeshift Park]

 

[Sphynx]

Looks like the top 2 are looking set.

1. Lalor - Richmond
2. NM - FOS

 

[Wild Bill]

No surprise trading back has been over blown by the media.

Just take the 2nd best 18 year old in the country.

 

[Juice030103]

Looks like the top 2 are looking set.

1. Lalor - Richmond
2. NM - FOS

Thought u were trading with Crom?

 

[Wild Bill]

Yep - great result,

 

[Wild Bill]

Thought u were trading with Crom?

I would have through they would be happy with Smith or Draper.

 

[xroddddddddddddd]

As a relief to 99% of dees fans, twomey has implicitly ruled us out of the running for Harry Armstrong

 

[Northernsoul74]

Two really average first names.

If you switch them around to Dennis Clancy he sounds like a serial killer.

 

[Stamos]

 

[perplexed]

Looking like we take FOS at 2 if he is available. But if the Tiges take him, we could slide back a little with the Adelaide offer, or do the Tiges offer us 6 and 18 for 2, to try and get both FOS and Lalor?
