[goodie23]

Probably worth rookieing him, doesn't cost us a spot, see how he goes

St Kilda have signed their third New Zealand AFL hopeful with the acquisition of Christchurch teenager Barclay Miller on an international scholarship.

The 16-year-old is a junior basketball and rugby star, and joins Porirua's Joe Baker-Thomas and Auckland's Giovanni Mountain-Silbery on the Saints' production line.

Christ we're getting some big kids on board. I like it.

 

[dewah07]

Didn't we want atleast 8 NZL scholarship kids? So 5ish to go?

Too light...

 

[L_W_P]

Only 16 though Barrels... Plenty of time to bulk up.

Midfielder?

Pretty sure that number also includes main and rookie list so if you include Savage it means 4 to go.

 

[Strahany]

Seems like a very clear agenda from the club; source kids with big frames that, with the right guidance, should become a working class KPP for us, at the very least, given that the only real learning curve when it comes to spoiling or taking a grab is the flight of the ball and basic patterns/gameflow.

I'd like to see us sign a smaller guy and try find a Savage type.

Think we are starting to build a team with the best names in the AFL though.

 

[Jack Stevens]

When I read "Saints sign Barclay Miller" on Saints.com.au, I thought we'd gotten a law or accounting firm on as a sponsor.

Hope he comes on well! Very big boy for his age, just like the others.

Cool bananas!

Can see all those Kiwi's getting their Stubbies & Jandles on, grabbing their Chilly Bin, buying some Fush & Chups while taking a Tiki Tour ta see tha footy. Chur Bro.

Seriously, a very exciting time for our future relationship with the En Zedders & hopefully we can get a couple of decent footballers out of country. Great effort by the heirarchy in going forward.
