I'm such a big fan of Oliver and Baz giving it back to journos, those precious babies sling mud all day then cry when a player says hang on a sec.

I'm such a big fan of Oliver.

We know, mate.

The Saints are shit and I hope their current strategy blows up in their face.

Fmd the amount of yapping from their fans on the DTFA board is biblical

They should release a DVD of their trade period.

For some reason this talk gave me a random Oliver memory of when he flopped against the eagles in 2017 and people were obvs calling it out, then he changed his profile pic on insta to him in a neck brace. The run in with the Carlton fan was also amusing.

Pretty sure he wasn't in a neck brace but just put a bunch of maxipads around his head lol.

Surely this kid is in the frame at our pic. Looks like a Trac type with more speed

You inspired me

’s draft video with his kicking but we don’t need more HBFs, avoid
Lachy Doverston: Looked like a semi good small forward, a bit like Chandler but with more pace and hopefully more goals. Maybe like a Weightman/Elliot type without the aerial capability. Maybe
Mitch Marsh: Mobile, smart and great field kick and can win a contested mark, reminded me of Jeremy Cameron

moving around the field and up forward, was suprised he was only 191cm, could play 3rd tall. Draft
Sam Grlj: Very fast runner, looks like that kid Port Drafted last year, Christian Moraes, seems to have crap disposal though from trying to do everything at 100m an hour. Avoid
Jevan Phillipou: Looks clean, kicks goals and can accumulate, Dangerfield/Trac type. Fell down rankings I think due to injury. Draft

I think we need forwards direly so for me I would go for Marsh, Phillipou and Devaston. Lindsay as a backup but no idea how he would fit into the team. Sharp and Robey will be gone by our picks.

Josh Lindsay: Looked the goods, reminded me of Hayden Young’s draft video with his kicking but we don’t need more HBFs, avoid

Are we even that well stocked for half-backs? McVee out the door, Rivers and Windsor into the midfield (Lamb basically confirmed Rivers today, plus Windsor has spoken about training as a mid), which leaves Bowey, Salem (lol) and AMW (more a defensive back pocket type and coming off a major injury)? Suppose Xavier Lindsay might end up back there, but I don't think it's exactly an embarrassment of riches considering how important quick, accurate ball movement is in the modern game.

 

[El Sketcho]

Wait until 7 announces it. Then it'll be double official.

Wait until Dean Wormer doesn't announce it then it will be double secret official

 

[mrmonkey]

I’m coming around to 7 and 8 but why are we giving 24 back to them? That pick is to replace McVee.

That's what was floated, I'm guessing the draft isn't rated that well, so they'd rather just use it to get the deal done.

I reckon Tim Lamb is mentioned more times on this forum than Jesus is in the Bible. Oh, no, now I've said it!

If we got a 3rd top 20 I would consider as Phillipou or Marsh may slip a bit but we should be looking at forwards primarily.

 

[mrmonkey]

It's a question of needs vs talent. I would lean towards talent over needs earlier on in the draft. If a hayden young
