Wow. Says Key defender, but can play forward. Competitive beast apparently. I like that bit. A bit of mongrel. Interesting for Cole and Hoffman.

 

[Coconut_twirl]

Surely we're not taking Cole and Hoffman, you can't bring in 5 defenders in one draft

Maybe they got intel the bid would come too high. And they rate Barrat higher.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Much rather this barret g guy than Cole

 

[jimmytigs]

nah f off,i support last night,but bullshit tonight,should have been Dodson

 

[Drop Kick]

Have to wait until pick 51 for our next pick.

 

[saintkildaman]

If we went another tall surely it had to be either Dodson or Whitlock. Fk I was hoping Moraes, just can’t make sense of another defender

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Surely we have a rolled gold commitment from a developed mid.

 

[StCicatriz]

5 defenders in the draft

I can't.....

Peckett promises to be the game breaker!

You always tend to do this. Attack everyone for having an opinion then turning around and having the same said opinion.

 

[Munga]

Need mids. Gets defenders.

I have PTSD. Post Traumatic Saints Drafting.

I jest, I'm sure these kids are great.

 

[Sippa]

Tells me they think Taurus a forward and travaglia is a mid

 

[wannabewinner]

Oh well. Maybe Tauru can be a Roo clone.

 

[Enclosed_Animal]

5 defenders in the draft

I can't.....

Peckett promises to be the game breaker!

Wonder if Peckett has ever played half back?

 

[bird_man]

Cole AND Hoffmann mate!

So, 5 picks. 5 defenders. This is some draft

Might as well see if we can ger a full back 6 in one go

 

[Hubnester]

One thing I'm getting from each pick so far is versatility.

They're being shoeboxed into the 'defender' category but with each one it's been mentioned what else they can do - seems deliberate.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

as they say, the best offense is a good defense... o_0

 

[Coconut_twirl]

Don't worry guys we still have another 3 spots for more defenders.

Park the bus!

Might have to teach Elwood to play key back.

 

[Joffaboy]

Wasn't expecting that but he rated well in the stats.

Maybe we arent matching Cole?

I am sure they will, and Hoff.

Nobody will ever score against us.

Tells me they think Taurus a forward and travaglia is a mid

Correct

 

[TheJackal]

Ough my. If only Cole and Hofmann were defenders

When I heard the J, I thought for sure we grabbed another Jack.

Either way, there's still Mraz on the board, can we possibly draft 6 defenders in one draft???

 

[Saint12]

well that rounds off a disappointing draft period....3 defenders...ffs why not just make sure we kept Battle and go for mid fielders that we desperately need.

 

[HeavenlySources]

Ofcourse Port snap Whitlock up in the next pick. Our list management are campaigners

 

[L_W_P]

Club is clearly loading up on talls that can play both ends.

Travaglia gonna be developed as a mid option.

Our KPP stocks were pretty shit so might as well grab the better rated tall rather than mid #16 on the depth chart

 

[dougiemac]

Surely we have a rolled gold commitment from a developed mid.

It looks that way to me too.

 

[BrutThough]

Cole AND Hoffmann mate!

So, 5 picks. 5 defenders. This is some draft

I hope we do it for the memes

 

[botts]

Looks like we arnt matching bids
