2025 Draft Thread

[Vacuous Space]

Hopefully for his sake, he asked for more then the minimum wage.

Thanks to TDK and Nas, Ronnie is technically our new work experience kid.

“do you think his family would be disappointed that he isn’t with the Eagles”

“No.. I think they will just be happy that he is in the list… a father son selection wasn’t a guarantee”

Yes of coarse the family will be estatic.
But that's not what you referred to in your previous message
You said Callum Twomey said he was lucky to be on a list which is utter BS.

Welcome to the Saints Ryan Byrnes.

So good, we drafted him twice

[Joffaboy]

Well that will do me, I’m off to bed. Not sure who will be more disappointed Greeves for not being drafted or Me as a member having to watch Ryan Byrnes pull on the RW&B jumper again

Shit comment. You dont have to champ

 

[Hayes4PM]

Saints absolutely RORTING this draft system, drafting Father-Sons and Academy players exclusively... SMDH...

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Last time we multiple recruited, Byrnes was picked in the 50's, 6 years later after massive recruiting we pick Byrnes up in the 50's.
I see a pattern here

Welp, better get ready for COVID 25 then. I'll warn Wuhan

 

[TheOsprey]

Byrnes has experience and is pretty good depth and can run all day.

Hopefully we stay fit and he doesn’t need to play much, but if called upon he can do a job.

If we are to rise up the ladder next year we need experienced cover/utility players.

Well that will do me, I’m off to bed. Not sure who will be more disappointed Greeves for not being drafted or Me as a member having to watch Ryan Byrnes pull on the RW&B jumper again

Don’t forget your nappy ya bed pisser

 

[Bill Crouse]

Byrnes half the cost and can play multiple positions

We are probably paying Steele a lot more than Byrnes next year.

 

[Banger9798]

Do we have any picks in the Rookie draft apart from Said??

yes, but it's been promised to Daniel Wulf

 

[Joffaboy]

Looking forward to the bed wetters, emptying their bladders when we rookie Said and 'didn't just get anyone else'.

Absolute flognuts.

 

[Joffaboy]

yes, but it's been promised to Daniel Wulf

Heard we have offered it to Leek Aleer

 

[Captain Paddy]

Greaves must’ve absolutely butchered the interviews

 

[TheJackal]

Mate you'll wake up tomorrow and genuinely not give a shit at all, rest up and take a deep breath.

 

[Hayes4PM]

I'm hearing Ollie Greeves is actually a key player behind the Tobacco Wars across Melbourne...

 

[StCicatriz]

Any truth to the rumor Harry Dean has nominated us as his club of choice?

 

[stavro#4]

Nuts about Greaves. Can’t believe we wouldn’t have taken a punt over Monty.

Feel for Rodriguez too. Was touted as a top 5 pick 6 months ago.

 

[Veer Right]

I am happy we didn't trade futures to buy into this draft.

Two selections look like they will impact strongly at VFL level straight away. Great!

As for Byrnes, i respect the gesture of throwing him a bone but is somewhat pointless with his very limited ceiling.

 

[Falchoon]

No offence, I'd rather take a chance on an unknown who happens to be a kitten killer (which clearly Ollie Greeves is, to have not been taken) than Byrnes.

kitten killer? reminds me of this guyyyyy, grew up next to Nathan Burke, hasn't been seen for a while.

 

[TheOsprey]

Greaves must’ve absolutely butchered the interviews

He got a bit overconfident

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Banfield, Fincher, Ryan, Flanders, TDK and JSOS. A few handy players there amongst the new additions.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

So, to all you fans who think Macrae is done already
Here is Charlie Banfield for you's

 

[Flandersss]

Amazing list turnover since 2021 onwards.

Love what we are doing!

 

[TheJackal]

17 games this year, 15 last year, 20 the year before. They obviously see him as more than the 37th player. He's a mature body workhorse and every side needs a few mortar lines to hold up the bricks. He's a jack of all trades master of none soldier. I see the appeal.

Like I said, over it already, as in I'm over the fact we didn't do what I'd hope we'd do.

My dream draft of us trading up a tiny bit to get Jev and somehow picking up Ludowyke didn't eventuate but shit happens.

I don't hate Byrnes, I actually don't think I've ever said a bad word about his game. I just like shiny new things and live for a slider come draft night.

Much like my excitement followed by my disappointment about Jack Ough last year, it comes and goes pretty quick.
