Yeh thats kind of my point, no team has a number 1 KPD waiting to play in case of injury. If Harris Andrews goes down the lions dont just substitute him they re jig.We didn't have Howard for a few games at the end of the season. I recall Wilkie giving Buddy a bath in that game. His only goal came from Hill giving a free kick. I feel like injuries to our backline are the easiest to manage, followed by forwards. Remember we had no King at the end of the season either and Sharman decided to GOAT it up
I think it's more likely we use the supplementary period or mid season draft for that. It will give us a chance to have more of a look at some players who haven't played much over the last couple of seasons.Apart from the NGA boys which will be Rokied today I would not be surprised if we tried to get another sneaky rookie in with our first pick. I'm thinking that we may want to rookie someone on a 1 year contract only rather than a 2 year main draft contract. A mature body to allow others get some weight on in 2022. Charlie Dean anyone?
we're getting dean in the rookie draft right?My biggest worry is if Howard goes down, it’s a huge hole in the list. Oscar is a couple of years away
Club needs a huge focus on development to give the kids every chance they can
I would love it if we did but we might get beaten to it. We'd have to play Battle or Allison as permanent forward if we did though. Can't have Joyce, Adams, Battle, Allison and Dean in the backline of the 2's.we're getting dean in the rookie draft right?
Same argument if King goes down, number 1 KPPs dont grow on trees, no one can really cover them.
isn't alison a natural forward anywayI would love it if we did but we might get beaten to it. We'd have to play Battle or Allison as permanent forward if we did though. Can't have Joyce, Adams, Battle, Allison and Dean in the backline of the 2's.
Wish there was some information out there about how many spots clubs have. Eg, North are committed to taking Polec but is that their only pick?
No thanks , not after we just drafted a key back , bringing Dean in will only mean Oscar wont be playing where he should be for Sandy , it will end like years ago when we had four rucks playing at sandy .Apart from the NGA boys which will be Rokied today I would not be surprised if we tried to get another sneaky rookie in with our first pick.

Yes. In true St Kilda fashion we're playing him anywhere else after getting frustrated by his lack of progress 2 weeks into his pre-season.isn't alison a natural forward anyway
Fair chance Allison goes forward IMO.I would love it if we did but we might get beaten to it. We'd have to play Battle or Allison as permanent forward if we did though. Can't have Joyce, Adams, Battle, Allison and Dean in the backline of the 2's.

By "goes back" you mean goes forward? As in goes back to being a forward? I need a drink...Fair chance Allison goes back IMO.
He was drafted as a key forward and only really went back when he was struggling to get near it.
Most good sides have 2 to 3 genuine tall key defenders in their side.Which club has a better KPP than Joyce outside their normal squad?
Yeah I worded that really badly. Goes back to forward...By "goes back" you mean goes forward? As in goes back to being a forward? I need a drink...
makes more sense to me now hahahaYeah I worded that really badly. Goes back to forward...
No current season stats available
Howard around the 200cmThis is true but also pretty much no one has depth to cover Key Backs and Key Forwards.
If he does go down (knock on wood) Wilkie, Highmore, Battle etc do it makeshift.
Same argument if King goes down, number 1 KPPs dont grow on trees, no one can really cover them.
Maybe, but then were not getting him as a backup for if Howard goes down, which was my original point.Howard around the 200cm
Battle Highmore and Wilkie all around 193 and under
Won’t be surprised if we still pick up Dean for that reason, club has said they would like Howard at CHB to be more attacking if they could get a lockdown FB. Back half of last year worked better when Marshall worked back and helped out
IF King goes down we could rotate Marshall and Ryder forward.
wow mitch has grown alot in 1 year
AgreeMaybe, but then were not getting him as a backup for if Howard goes down, which was my original point.
No one has a number 1 KPP just playing in the twos as insurance.
Battle where?Agree
Think we are on the same page
Dean FB
Howard CHB
It was spoken about last night that Richmond want to play Gibcus as a forward. What a waste of 1st rnd pick if that is the case.Yes. In true St Kilda fashion we're playing him anywhere else after getting frustrated by his lack of progress 2 weeks into his pre-season.
OK, slightly over exaggerating but playing blokes out of their drafted position is a St Kilda specialty.
THats not necesarily the line up i want but yeh, not as a backup.Agree
Think we are on the same page

Where did I mention outside normal squad need another reliable KPB in the 1st with HowardWhich club has a better KPP than Joyce outside their normal squad?
