List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Trade FA Megathread

[Mowman]

How many of us are recruiters, and use professional analytic programs to dissect potential AFL Draftees?

I would suggest zero.

How many of us work with/are related to/have a relationship or any sorts with Ameet Bains or anyone of the inner sanctum at the St. Kilda Football Club recruiting department?

Again, I would say zero to very few (barring exceptions).

So why would we a) question our recruiting staff if we picked McCartin over Petracca, or b) believe any media outlet that claims to know who we are going to pick.

The club won't be releasing the information as to who we will be using Pick 1 on, until after Pick 1 has been formally announced.

Be patient, and trust our footy club.

Be patient, followed this mob for 40 years been a member for over 25 years.

Be patient, and trust our footy club, have watched them have stuff up after stuff up we have been one the worst ran clubs for years.

Tucker's better...

Balic is better than both of those clowns

Has anyone brought up the footage of McClure saying we would 100% be trading pick 1 to GWS? His track record with us sucks.

Also if we pick McCartin over tracca then I won't be mad at all, should of tried to trade out lee or not pushed lee to the forward line.

But carts will be a gun

 

[Barrels]

"St Kilda:
Pick 1: Patrick McCartin
Pick 21: Tom Lamb
Pick 22: Corey Ellis
Pick 41: Sean McLaren"...

"Next up is our interview with St Kilda recruiting manager"...

He didn't say we were "100% be trading pick 1 to GWS"

He said we were in discussions with GWS about a package including Jaksch for pick 1.

Emma Q is now doing a paddy to saints article just then

@emmasq: Will Thursday be Saint Paddy's Day? He's been in No.1 contention all the way through, and had to grow up quickly

Another draft article

 

[lewdogs]

From the article on the saints site I get the impression we will take Tracca but it was a close call.

 

[MightySaint]

i couldnt believe it either when i heard it this morning and still cant

the thing that keeps sitting in the back of my mind though is our recruiters and coaching staff kept banging on about "overcoming adversity" when talking pick 1 or about recruits. when it comes to petracca this isnt something i'd associate with him

but with mccartin its something i think of in spades

but if i had to choose, it'd be petracca and about 5-10 other players before mccartin. which is why i dont believe it and like my previous post said, i think its all a beat up. another club might be trying to shake some stuff out or maybe the AFL wants the suspense. maybe we wnat it. who knows

What did you actually hear Defacto? That we are going Paddy over Petracca?

I swear he said something a lot more definitive than that, I'm sure he did

 

[Barrels]

Balic is better than both of those clowns

Meh. He's ok, but he ain't no KPD...

 

[Defacto]

What did you actually hear Defacto? That we are going Paddy over Petracca?

that there was a twist coming with pick 1, specifically the two player names mentioned

 

[sixtosaint]

I can't believe i am listening to this spud Tom Elliot to wait and listen to this other spud Sam McLure because I am going insane

Don't know what to say really. Petracca seems the logical choice. Either way I'm backing our club!

Please do a summary!

Whether McClure is right or not I'll ask him next time he's in my work if he was talking out of his ass or not

 

[Defacto]

same. its just really hard to understand right now, i mean we dont even know if it has any truth to it and b) we dont know the justification behind the selection

i'm shocked

 

[sixtosaint]

Please do a summary!

To easy mate ill do my best!

Maclure played 243 games for Carlscum, including captaining them in 1986.

It could be a Carlscum plot. Nothing would be below that loathsome excuse of a football club.

Sam McClure not Mark Maclure.

Whoops...

 

[Barrels]

Still blaming Carlscum...

 

[Barrels]

McCartin news will follow the great man...

Still blaming Carlscum...

...........and why not?

Don't worry too much about Petracca. There are other things that come into account here.
