Game Day St.Kilda v Collingwood, Marvel, Friday 18th March, 7.50pm

[Mick F]

We're shallow as. We'll need a good run with injuries and we'll need the blokes that have been written off on here to go alright as well.

Everyone is too impatient to see the 2020 crop become regulars -they're very young and have missed a heap of footy. Not many of the top 10 draftees from last year have nailed down a spot in thier team yet, and we were picking late teens and beyond.

2019 not a great draft for us. Should now be storming the door down pre-season (their third) and getting a spot in the side.

Is it only Bianco and Ruscoe left from that draft?

Cut them a little slack. Covid would have to have had an effect on their development. No reserve competition in 2020 - should not be underestimated. They will have to deliver this year though.

Noble if you count the 19 midseason, alternatively, Jay Rantall is the only one delisted from the 2019 midseason, national and rookie drafts...

I'd say even delivering is a bit too steep - at the end of the year, if they look likely to become senior regulars in the future, they should be retained.

Doubt he played unless there been quite a Few Players with Covid

Rantall was a shocking draft pick, much like Mclarty, hard to think what the recruiters saw.

scans came back clear. so his availability only came down to covid

Well no, they clearly see him in the best 26 players ready to play if he will be on the emergency list. Nothing to do with covid.

No they shouldn't because thats a totally unrealistic view of the draft picks we had. Pick 40, only 2 of the last 10 pick 40s have played 100 games, most play very little. Pick 45, one 100 game player in the last 17 drafts and that was Fas. Pick 55 no 100 game players in the last 15 drafts, maybe Fantasia can make that 1.

If we get 1 player out of those 3 who plays 100 games for Collingwood and is a C/D grade type we will have performed well. Only a few of the kids picked in the 40s and 50s become good AFL players.

No Kreuger.

Fairly uninspiring selections apart from Nick and Lippa.

I was thinking that too.It’s very similar to the side Buckley would have picked,very predictable.There’s certainly no surprises there,

I dont mind the team out of who is available, and I dont think we had a lot of choice. Who else would you have selected? I'm missing Poults, but there must be a reason he's not in. I'm not sure the other new draftees are ready, or perhaps the coaches are holding them back so they can be 'drip fed' into the team over the next few weeks.

We are walking a fine line this year between playing experience and seniority, and raw kids. We cant have too many of the latter or we will be on the end of some absolute thrashings. Which does nobody's confidence any good.

We are also at that awkward stage of the year where there's no VFL (yet) so we cant use VFL form to influence selection.

Probably our best 22 available. Don't understand the shock
