Happy new year everyone. This year has seen many issues. War and political division all over the world, cost of living issues affecting many of us and the ongoing fallout from the pandemic. Don’t let any of that distract you from the fact that we were never even slightly interested in drafting...

Gee you must’ve upset the mods this time. Merry Xmas and happy new year everyone. Go Blues and if anyone on here is doing it tough in any way over the holiday period feel free to reach out.

You’ve heard of horsin’ around. Cowan around is what they do in Devonport

Harley Reid Sam Walsh Adam Cerra Charlie Curnow Ollie Hollands

Austin doesn’t budge on his recruits having to tick boxes for size, skill and speed very often. The ones that do make it won’t have any glaring flaws exposed by their opponents. Go well Matt.

Geelong drafted Shaun Mannagh which brought the average age of their list down by a fair amount

Jordan De Goey. 187cm and 82kg when drafted. 188cm and 93kg now.

My age. My kids are 6 and 2. I’ve just shown them what Ashton has done and let them know how disappointed I am in them.

A club may see it differently to me but I don’t see an AFL player. No running ability at all - No straight line speed, no burst, no endurance.

Was looking like an absolute monster before his form dropped away. At the start of the year it was only him and Curtin that were considered chances to beat Harley Reid for pick 1. Used to run a lot harder than what he was this year, I’d believe what they say about his hip injury. Bursitis is no...

Fair enough, I just see Lual as another limited junior half back whereas I can see huge scope for improvement with Jiath given his lack of exposure and athletic profile. Also has good defensive habits already.

Why would you prefer Lual over Jiath?

The Saints aboriginal talent is off the charts

He looked like he’d been drafted to Siberia

Same. Lazzaro type that you can get later in the draft.

Wilson at 20 would be ridiculous

“He’s like a taller, faster version of Bontempelli and he’s expected to go somewhere in the third round”

That’s my thoughts too living in Launceston. Two to three hour (closer to four with the never ending ******* roadworks) drive to Hobart or 45 minute flight to Melbourne. I’ve been to Melbourne four times this year and Hobart once. Beautiful place but a long way from home for these Lonnie guys...

I have chunks of corn in my crap bigger than him and we have a ton of muscle in our on ball division for winning contests. He played really well in there in his draft year but I didn’t see Kade Simpson play on the ball until he was 23, due to Hollands needing to fill out and our strength in...

That’s what I reckon too, for this year anyway. Same with Jiath’s attributes and lack of experience. Stuff drafting for depth in a shallow draft, go for a couple of potential stars.

Ollie Hollands - made a huge impression with his gut running, getting an extra number to contests and defensive efforts but only averaged 14 touches a game. Had a lot of AFL exposure which will help him to get up to speed so the next step is to increase his ball winning over the next 1-3 years...

I felt like teams were able to put all their efforts into shutting down Saad this year when he didn’t have Docherty or Williams in defence with him. He was a lot more dominant in 2022 with teams having to mind Docherty and sometimes Williams as well. Williams in defence in 2024, he’s a star and...

Not that you were asking me but I didn’t think and still don’t think there are enough good players in this year’s draft to slide back. I wanted us to upgrade 17 to North’s 15 and then hopefully do the same again with the Saints for Dow. Hope I’m proven wrong but this is with 17 years of draft...

I love getting any info on progress/development/list management etc, keep it coming :thumbsu:

Pick 71 - Sydney - Riley Weatherill Pablito

Pick 46 - Sydney - Will Green bradfisher14

Yes, matching that one. Pick 39 - Sydney - Caiden Cleary

Should have a serious go at Zurhaar next year as a FA as well. He is the exact type of player we need. If North draft Duursma to go with George, Ford, Curtis already being there and maybe Sheezel returning to half forward I reckon it’d be another case of them being happy to let him go for decent...

Pick 15 - Sydney - Riley Hardeman Pablito
