I can't believe he slid to us! What excellent fortune

 

[Ported]

Rhode's done it again!

I'm filled with so much unspecified emotion regarding this.

 

[Forzaport]

Speed AND endurance... Wow!

How did that happen??

 

[Portia]

I am generically disappointed with our decision as we could've had pick #32, pick #35 or pick #36, all of whom have more distinguished junior records and that fill actual needs for this club. Why do we keep drafting injury prone players/light-framed players/flankers?

Parker has to go.

Intersting how the thread makes perfect sense when at the time of this post we didn't know who pick 29 was. Reminds me of John Clarke doing a series of reports on the mythical sport of Farnarkling years ago.

Never heard of him, but SEN says that he was oustanding at the draft camp.

Where was this kid supossed to go.

 

[philthy05]

had like a 15 beep test at camp so a massive engine. shuts down players and runs off as well. country boy thank you very much. i hope him and wines are good good mates.

 

[Forzaport]

He's a slider.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Don't think we really need another 192 cm key defender TBH. Oh well, welcome to the club Tom.

This pick probably spells the end for Nathan Blee.

 

[philthy05]

was talked up as a gws 12/14 ( with jacksh being the other ) prospect for a long time until late in the year when he was replaced by corr which ended up being the case. was slated for something like pies or dogs picks for awhile as well.

Herald sun phantom draft

24. St Kilda
TOM CLUREY

HEIGHT: 193cm
CLUB: Murray Bushrangers
Clurey here a bargain and adds immediate relief to Saints light defensive stocks. Endurance king who showed late glimpses in attack.

 

[Check-Raise !]

Good luck to him, welcome to the club. Don't know enough about him to pass judgement but hope the scouts did.

 

[Noobz0r]

Would have preferred tanner Smith, but oh well

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Would have preferred tanner Smith, but oh well

195cm key defender who can't kick. We just got rid of one of those.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Herald sun phantom draft

Fairly sure in the earlier version they had him going to Adelaide at 20.
