Welcome Welcome to St Kilda - James Barrat!

When you select a round 1 side it becomes obvious why we went the way we did in the draft.

Arguably we needed a tall defender more than a midfielder.

I reckon James plays round 1.

He looks very mature. Just 18? Reminds me when I was playing U16’s rep cricket and a few of the opposition would arrive driving their cars. And had 5 o’clock shadows…..

Love the fact that they say he has a bit of mongrel. Don’t want choirboys. Good solid competitors.

Yep, love it. We’ve gone competitors, tacklers and runners. All in one.

Round 1 selection is going to be very interesting. Battle's replacement could be any of Schoenmaker, Caminiti, Sharman, Tauru, Barrat, Cordy or even Keeler.

I think Hammer and Coops will be up forward but both have spent time in defence so who knows. Viking probably won't play round one off an interrupted pre season and Cordy is more of a backup gorilla minder. You'd think Keeler would debut as a forward/ruck when he gets a game. So the most likely are probably Arie and Barrat
