Pick #1, 2014

[blueiris]

Yes. Called Brisbane bottom 4 before the season even started and have since lowered expectations with injuries.



You're a chance to drop one of the games against GWS and Melbourne and you won't beat Essendon, so that's 3 wins and a real chance at the spoon.

We will see we have a good record against Essendon

 

[Bailey01]

No way a team other than Brisbane will get pick 1

 

[swansRgunBRUH!]

well honestly i thought the swans were tanking, but then we came good, and besides its no secret that the swans will be going for Isaac Heeney

 

[swansRgunBRUH!]

sorry to go off topic

 

[Easy Mac]

I'd love Durdin if it's us, don't think it will be though.

You would probably be in the range for Durdin

Of the last 10 Essendon have 5, Brisbane 4, 1 draw. Of the last 5 it's 2-2 with that draw

How many of those have been at Edihad tho I was talking about games at the Gabba

6 at Docklands, 1 at the 'G and 3 at the Gabba. It's 2-1, but one of those was when Sheedy was coaching. We also won the last one

Cheer up Brisbane supporters. It is early days yet. In 1997 the Saints started with five straight losses and were written off by everyone, but by seasons end they were the home and away premiers, and played in the Grand Final.

I think the race for the spoon will be between the Lions, GWS, and the Dees. but you never can tell this early.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Gods willing there's 8 guys who aren't in the Melbourne team who will be by midyear. We are way off our best team.

 

[loki04]

Don't discount Carlton

Hope so means the best players will be left for the other teams.

Murphy, Gibbs, Kruezer not one the best of their draft year.

 

[Andy_Mac]

If we manage to win another 3 games this year, we'll have won 8 games in 3 years and will be awarded a PP...

Which mark Evans is quoted as saying will most likely be an end of first round pick if it were to be agreed on by the commission.

Garland, Hogan, Salem, Jamar, Toumpas, Trengove?

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Kent and Clisby maybe? I don't know I wrote that yesterday and I think I was going off the guys I wanted out of the team.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Riley!! Viv might make the settled team too. I think right now we are slowly weeding out the holdovers from last season who started the season fitter than the other blokes.

 

[Stylo]

Two of Stkilda's wins have been against GWS and Melbourne there's been only one team out of the 5 games we played that we should have won . Being Richmond but we lost focus. most people forget that we have 10 players who have played 50 or less games add some more experience to that and we will win games

Wait wait wait.... You're saying you should have won a match you lost by 43 points?

 

[blueiris]

Yeah we could have won that but we lost focus

 

[Demon 16]

I can see us angling for another trade-down type deal to help our depth in the midfield.

 

[Demon 16]

Every club will pick best avail with pick #1

Have you not seen us use a number 1 pick before??

To be fair, you guys haven't exactly bucked the consensus when taking those picks. Scully was a very popular #1 pick. Watts was viewed as on par with NicNat - safer choice, NicNat having the higher ceiling. A combination of bad luck and maybe bad development unfortunately.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Our bad luck was Watts for that one time in his life flat out sprinting in the draft camp and putting in a crazy sprint time that put him at the top of our list.

Meh. Naitanui is way overrated.

Anyway, St Kilda could've chosen Judd ahead of Ball.....Bartel ahead of X Clarke.....Dangerfield ahead of Big Boy. Richmond Buddy. All clubs Fyfe. It happens.

Happened a lot at my team. New recruiting staff and development now so there's hope at least.
