List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Trade FA Megathread

[sixtosaint]

The other thing I couldn't handle, mccartin would go at 3 if gws had pick one. We could have got 4/7 (lever and goddard). We must take petracca.

 

[Jezzarayman]

You think they are the priorities???

smoke screen. As another poster said we are one of if not the best recruiting team in the business ATM. It's obvious that pick 1 is / was between a few players. Pick 21/22 depending on which club could be between 10 players. I doubt we'd telegraph our thoughts. I have heard (not the most reliable source however) that those videos are bait trying to catch a few clubs with picks beneath us. Hence Smoke screen.
Are we that clever?!!!

Egg will be on my face if we pick one or both of them!

Ahmed Saad to Collingwood pick 48



Would make sense. He is a criminal after all





Only joking Not overly interested in SAAD again myself. But he seems like a nice bloke so i hope he does get another chance somewhere

 

[Dez!]

You want someone to kick goals? Move Petracca into the forward line. We cannot lose picking Petracca but we might if we pick Mccartin.

Wouldn't say you'd lose by picking McCartin, perhaps a better phrasing would be "the win wouldn't be as big as it would be had we picked Petracca" because McCartin will be a gun IMO.

Still I'd take that as nothing more than the Saints just drumming up interest, Petracca would be cemented as number 1.

Who else got videos? Both petracca and mccartin?

Don't know why our recruiters have been touted as the best going around.

Will look like prize halfwits if they chose anyone but Petracca as No.1

Draft bombshell. Paddy McCartin has firmed as favourite to go number one pick with the Saints. Details only on @3AWSportsToday at 6:35.

Hope you are correct, the more I look at the evidence, the more McCartin over Petracca defies logic.

I don't

I just can't see St Kilda passing on Petracca though, I know I'm just an armchair recruiter but I don't see anyone better than him in this draft.

Come Thursday night, if we do go down this path, it will just about be it for me.

Have waited since I was 6 to see a Saints flag, have been a member since I moved to Melbourne in 1988, have seen the Saints **** up and implode over and over and stuck with them, but could not stand to see us do a Ball/Judd stuff up once again.

If these arse clowns go for a KPP over what we need in a absolute quality midfield, I will completely lose my shit.

Will just flip. These people expect me to shell out $500 a season to watch them fail over and over.

Don't know how much more I can keep financing these incompetents

I think we may be mentally damaged as a club. I'm off to watch soccer, we are done. Announce a move to junction based on the desperate grabs from an unreliable out going government...they won't fund it. Swap Petracca for Pudding Mc Cartin who won't be as good as Rhys Mc Kenzie. Perhaps we could swap a promising Rhys Stanley for a pick that nets us a guy we could have picked for the rookie list, already did thats right. At least we might still get Petrenko and Glassknees Mc Kernan as our saviours.

If we'd taken the GWS deal (1&21 for 4&7) we wouldn't be getting Petracca OR McCartin...

We'd be looking at Pickett/Ahern (Knightmare), Pickett/Lever (Snoop) or Pickett/Goddard (Paige); and also costing ourselves Durdin (Knightmare), Cavka (Snoop) or Ellis (Paige) with the loss of pick 21.

We would be the laughing stock of the AFL when Petracca dominates from season 1 in a Dees jumper. Won't happen though!

You sound as pissed as me gringo. It better be ****ing bullshit

 

[SK_MD_#7]

Think this rules out Reece McKenzie now..

So really, really hope we can get two very good midfield sliders at picks 21 and 22 + also a beauty at 41.

But seriously... McClure is a prize moron; I'd be floored if he knew anything.

Hopefully we are unnecessarily being stirred up. I'm making a jerk of myself again.

Although the new auto correct function on the new apple IOS calls Petracca Patricia. That's awfully like "Fiona" Fiora. Perhaps it's telling me something?

Joff, I'm with you mate... if we overlook McCartin I might as well go into hibernation next season.

Would much rather have combos of Wright/Pickett or Lever/Pickett or Pickett/Laverde etc with 4 and 7 instead of McCartin, even if it meant losing 21.

Above all that, would MUCH prefer Petracca + McKenzie + Slider then McCartin + ANB/Blakely/Ellis + Slider.

I've been hyped since the very start of the season about Petracca and wanted him all along, if we take McCartin, well that's an absolute joke.

 

[Half Back Pocket]

would be astoundingly stupid....

 

[Keg on legs]

Maybe the club just needs to come out and announce it to help calm our frayed nerves.
Can't see them not going petracca. The consensus of him being the best available talent is too strong for them to ignore IMO
You don't take risks with pick 1. You just don't.
Best available all the way... And that guy is CP

 

[tbarker]

+ Saunders.

Yeah - from memory he went solo in a punch up with a few Brisbane lads in NZ
