As I said, your list was shithouse at the start of your self proclaimed #1 recruiting team's parade of draft hits.

Of course it has improved since then. Now it is only mediocre.

And yeah, North's ain't much better (which is a real shock given we've actually made finals for the past 3 years and had to use lower picks whilst your team has been stinking it up) but I guess I can soothe my pain by replaying the 2 winning grand finals I got to see in person.

Lucky you have a great memory.
Your gonna need it . :clapping:

Brisbane, Fremantle, Richmond, Bulldogs and Geelong all very keen on cats VFL player Tom Stewart.
yep, that has gone the rounds on the lions board although i couldn't see us taking him with our 4 picks in the top 22, our next is very late and will probably be used on an academy player (Jacob Allison/Declan Watson) so only chance to us i think would be as a rookie.
 
*You're

Saints fans trolling about needing long memories. Well, I'll never. What is it now, 50 years since your one and only?

One flag minnow.

Thanks for the reminder Richard !
 
Just as a comparison here's Essendon's hits since 2012. Probably a bit biased but whatever.

2012
Joe Daniher (Pick 10)
Martin Gleeson (Pick 35)

2013
Zach Merrett (Pick 26)
Orazio Fantasia (Pick 55)
Patrick Ambrose (Rookie Draft)

2014
Kyle Langford (Pick 17)
Jayden Laverde (Pick 20)
Jake Long (Rookie Draft)
Conor McKenna (International Rookie)

2015
Darcy Parish (Pick 4)
Aaron Francis (Pick 5)
Mason Redman (Pick 30)
Mitch Brown (Pick 54)
Michael Hartley (Pick 68)
Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti (Rookie Draft)
Not bad considering our drafting was compromised for 2 drafts.

Daniher was a F/S pick and you got some good picks trading Ryder

That takes away plenty of gloss

Pick 17 in effect for Ryder. Not really sure how that's relevant. Plenty of teams trade?

The AFL did you a favor IMO by banning the players . Its worked out beautifully for fast tracking your kids development .
Predicting a strong season for your boys .

Tom Stewart
Geelong
190cm/90kg
15/3/93

Was mentored by Matthew Scarlett at South Barwon in the Geelong Football League and has stepped up in his own right at the next level. The defender is strong in one-on-one contests, he's quick off the mark and generally reads the flight of the ball better than his opponent. Likes to take the game and is a good user of the ball, particularly by foot.

Not really the favour the AFL tried to do, but I agree. Without the supplements saga we would have middled for a while without acquiring the talent to have a legit shot and then fallen on a lengthy rebuild. Horrible to go through but reckon the club is on field in a better position for 2017 than it ever would have been.

2011, Seb Ross vs Brad McKenzie. Tom Curran vs Jimmy Webster.
2012, Garner vs Wright. Jacobs vs Murdoch * Pierce vs Hine.
2013, Father son McDonald saves making a wrong decision vs Acres. Good call on Ben Brown ( i wanted to rookie list him a year earlier).
2014, Sam Durdin vs Hugh Goddard ( or Dunstan ). Vickers-Willis vs Lonie
Its not just the 2 early draft picks we had.

Yeah, you really nailed it with guns like Webster, Wright, Murdoch, Lonie & Pierce :$

Goddard showed little before injury and Ross has taken years to become an AFL standard mid.

If those picks are proof that the Saints recruiting is the best in the league, well...LOL.

What sort of defender is Stewart?
Looks a little short and light for key defensive role or is he a Easton Wood type?
