List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Trade FA Megathread

[Keg on legs]

After we have (almost) all finally come around to being keen on Paddy, wouldn't it be a pisser if they actually grab CP!

I guess we will all know soon enough

St Kilda
Draft selections: 1, 21, 22, 41.
Needs: Key forward and midfielders.

St Kilda continues its strategic list transition through a deliberate and aggressive approach towards the draft which will be complemented by trading/free agency in coming years. The Saints had the oldest player list in the competition at the end of 2011 – which together with significant TPP pressures resulted in the need to carefully re-design its whole player recruitment program. The conscientious work of list manager, Ameet Bains, recruiting manager, Tony Elshaug and their committed staff has provided the club with genuine reason to approach the future with confidence – starting with the 2014 draft where either Christian Petracca or Paddy McCartin will add another critical piece to the big picture.

[Winners Only]

Initially I was all Petracca, but now I have come around to thinking that from a 'long term' list management sense McCartin is the way to go! I think if he didn't have the diabetes concerns people would be happy that the club has moved that way. The illness is scary and there are a lot of what ifs over his health, but I am sure the Saints have covered off on that in every way possible.

It looks like Pelchen has us taking McCartin with slight comments like the below in his article -

The whispers are that Christian Petracca will be lining up in red and blue next year

Paddy McCartin's reflexes could be on show in Saints' colours next year.

I was interested that he nominated our Needs as a Key Forward and Midfielders (only). Surely the list requires another key defender developing to replace Fisher, which leads me to believe they will take Elliott Le Grice as a rookie.

Brandon Jack plays with diabetes. Think its being blown way out of proportion!

Does Paddy mean no other key forwards? Or maybe only prospects who have shown a bit down back and up forward? Eg. Goddard

Adding to this, Paddy only playing the 13 games shows he doesn't have quite the exposed form as others and there just may be some further untapped potential.

So does Jack Fitzpatrick and we have had no issues whatsoever with it.

Hasn't affected his ability at all.
