Gotta wonder why we didn't do a deal with the Dees if we rated McCartin so highly. Just tell them we will pick Petracca at 1 but would be happy with McCartin at 3 aswell.

1 for 3 and 23 with an agreement they wont take McCartin and we wouldn't take Frost in the PSD. We end up with 3,21,22,23,41.

Jesus imagine taking Paddy and Reece with our first two selections. The positive is both could be ambassadors for Jenny Craig in a few years. Why don't we rookie Darren Jarman while we are at it?

Actually I reckon that wouldn't be as bad an idea as you might think... Once Roo retires we have an undersized Lee, a speculative White and then nobody as a key forward...

Whats Jason Dunstall up to? Clive Palmer could be our forward coach.

You all need to stop being complete peanuts and back our recruiters.

Hundreds or videos, monitored these players for years, all the results etc.. A lot more than everyone on this forum combined.
But I love the mayhem and being a peanut. Interest on this board has skyrocketed!

Lol calm the s%#$ down. The club actually knows these players instead of the general public watching a 3 minute video and making up their mind
Yeah like they did Ball over Judd?

Like they did with all those busts from 07-10.

Like they did by giving Ball away for nothing.

Yes they have a great track record and seem like they are about to monumentally **** up the No.1 pick.

Hilariously incompetent. Expect us to support these ******ed decisions.

Yes I've completely lost my shit over this. And if it pans out, I will really go to town.

Below is taken from an article Pelchen did with the afl website the other week:

4. "The combine results have a big bearing on where a player is selected in the draft."
Fiction –
While the combine does play an important part in a club's thinking on a player, it is purely complementary to the assessments of ability and character formed over a much longer period. The combine could be compared to a school exam, which brings a "full stop" on a student’s year, but is of lesser importance than the weekly assignments, tests and homework that contribute to their overall result.

Completely agree. And why I was certain we're taking CP. ...

If the Saints take McCartin they can then concentrate on 2 good mids at 21 and 22.

And also most importantly next year is top heavy at the top end with gun mids apparently.

Petracca might be the No1 player this year on face value.

But for StKilda, and a proper list strategy, McCartin makes a whole lotta sense too.

Petracca and McCartin are the best 2. A decision would have been tough, but McCartin makes sense. Gun KP's aren't always staring you in the face at your available pick. .....and 2 years tutelage with Roo....priceless.

Wont be backing them if they make this incomprehensible decision.

If we took Caleb Daniel @ No.1 some on here "would back the recruiters"

Sorry if I dont have blind faith in these experts. Pelchan seemed to have a brain, but unsurprisingly he has left.

Its like a sheltered workshop at Seaford now, with this BS coming out.

Lol.

You seem to know everything and so certain Petracca is way better than McCartin. So why the **** aren't you working anywhere as a recruiter?

so much of an expert. :rolleyes:

So I cant have an opinion?

Why in ****s name get rid of Stanley? Why pick up a KP when we have Riewoldt for another two years, why resign Tom Lee?

We are crying out for a quality midfielder, but we are going to go for some middling KP who wont be any good for five years if he ever is at all.

But hey attack me because I dont slavishly follow every stupid decision these clowns make.

Of course McCartin will be the right decision, because the Saints made it :oops:
