2016 Draft Rumours

[HARKER]

The Bont was rated mid to late teens by every club except Dogs .
Pmac is a KPF while Petracca is a midfielder , selection wouldve been a need basis .
So glad WE did !

That's just not true and I'm only speaking on behalf of my own club.

Don't forget Nathan Freeman ( Disaster )

He's not a write off yet, was always a rehab project. Didn't cost as much as Garlett.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

If Goddard was so good, why trade for spud Brown? And why does he walk straight in ahead of him?

White, I've never heard of, isn't in any saints supporters best 22.

McKenzie is a miss at this stage, maybe he will turn his career around.

Based on your categorisation of hits and misses, every team qualifies.

We even have 9 in 2 years and these guys are actual best 22 players who have played in and won finals.

Some of these guys you are calling hits are handy VFL players at best.

Enlighten me , what did the Saints trade for spud Brown?

More like the guys who are no longer with the club won the finals.

Mate , wouldnt bother .
The problem we have here is we see our young emerging team every week so naturally we see the improvement and potential.
The other team supporters wouldnt watch our games as much so their opinions mean very little as our opinions about their clubs ( shit ) .
Lets move on and talk about something interesting ....like who will StKilda's gun recruiter add to our awesome team ......oh wait

 

[Heaps of fun]

Didn't they say that about ,O'Meara, Martin, etc.
Meanwhile the best are Fyfe, Dangerfield etc.

They were right about O'Meara until his knee died though.

 

[tunksy]

St kildas past drafting has nothing to do with the current years draft and any rumours associated with it.

 

[ronpingwins]

West Coast has a few targets from the sounds of things. A few posters have mentioned we're heavily into SPP and Bolton and they've been spotted at the club a few times. Someone also mentioned we think SPP might be available at our 2nd pick, which I'm sceptical. Another poster has said we are massively keen on Hayward at our 1st pick, which is interesting and coincides with the hype he's had in the last few days.

 

[doona]

Any of the 3 of McGrath McLuggage and Ainsworth all add something we need
So we'll be fine with whoever ends up at 3

Ainsworth after the piece in the AFL website, if he is keen to join Brisbane he would almost be a lock wouldn't he? (If he is there at 3 regardless of what 1 & 2 do)

It better not be at pick 9! I'd consider it at our 3rd round or at 19 at a push.

No way. Late pick or rookie

He is has freakish skills but a big risk. His state testing was poor.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

More like the guys who are no longer with the club won the finals.

Wells missed 2 finals wins last year.
Boomer missed 1 in 2014.

So no, they actually didn't.

Enlighten me , what did the Saints trade for spud Brown?

Nothing, it was a free agency pick up. But lets face it, if Baby Hughy was a locked in gun, why would you want to stunt his development?

No he wasn't. If the dogs didn't take him at 4 Collingwood had committed to taking him at 6.

They are the drafting masters apparently.

The doyens of the off-season.

Because its better that way .
Sick of your Mob at the moment
Congratulations by the way

If you think talls need to play seniors every week to develop. Good luck to you. I'll just consider you simple.

You must of been part of the " some clubs "

Cmon Captain Kangaroo whats North done at the draft table last couple of years ?
Most likely sent everyone to sleep which pretty much sums up your club .
With the exception of an occasional sex scandal.

He's going into his 3rd year and has played 9 games including only 1 last year.

I would have thought he is ready to explode in 2017, not playing 2nd fiddle to a bloke who played his best football 5 years ago.

Clearly the saints 'gun recruiters' weren't.

 

[The Bomb]

Clearly the saints 'gun recruiters' weren't.

Saints gun recruiters couldn't even pick the best small bloke at 3, Essendon got that in Merrett.

Thanks Captain obvious ( Jack Billings )

You're embarrassing yourself.

 

[LukeHodge15]

I missed the memo

When did the Saints supporters think their list turned AGrade. Reading this dribble has made me chuckle though.

Technically Brisbane did .....Lewie Taylor
