Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
I fear for Masto beyond the short term.
First it was drop Masten. Now it's de-list Masten. By the end of the season he could be a flayed man hanging from the walls of House Hungrytiger.
Next progression/regression is actually trading Masten to Fremantle.
Draft order published on afl.com.au and eagles don't have a pick.I'm fixated, and adamant on picking up marlion pickett now. FFS fraser, get off our list.
Not sure that would comply with WAFL guidelines with the Beagles,
There could be a loophole somewhere though.
And west coast don't have to re rookie fraser.Like watching ground hog day.Ahhhh. WAFL rules. Got it.
You wouldnt want a stupid WAFL rule getting in the way of your list managememt though.

Cue Pickett tearing it up for a Vic club and us having to trade 2 first round picks to get him across in a year's time.
I tried that but it made the thread disjointed.Put him on ignore....... the world is a much better place.
Agree with that. Don't think he'll ever make an impact for us at AFL level and he'll probably be delisted at the end of the year. Don't mind the Edwards selection though.I still don’t understand why we saw Smith as a better rookie option over Pickett.
It looks to me as if Smith and Foley were drafted to aim for Masten’s position. That’s not working out too flash so far but it’s early days for Foley.Agree with that. Don't think he'll ever make an impact for us at AFL level and he'll probably be delisted at the end of the year. Don't mind the Edwards selection though.
Frase is still on the senior list. He ain't going anywhere.McInnes seems like the kind of guy a bottom team would pick up in a mid season draft. I suspect some good players will get a shot, but the majority will be role players at best.
Frase has proven to be above the WAFL level but not quite good enough for AFL. A bottom side that needed a key tall/ruck cover could do worse than him to be honest. Heck, even the bombers could use him given their ruck stocks. If Zac Clarke can get a game there, so would Fraser.
I know that- but there’s plenty that want him to retire so we can get into the draft.Frase is still on the senior list. He ain't going anywhere.
Chad Warner looks good at one of those second rounders, got a bit of Sloane about him.So here is the outline for the U18 Carnival

I am not going to speculate about Coniglio or Kelly, it's a good time to see what we might get with what are essentially 3 good earlish picks with picks 12, 21 and 30. I can see that GWS have a prospect in Green who is tipped to go early but not seeing much on other academy prospects or F/S that would significantly disrupt the first 30 picks.
Last November, I was not overly happy with either Foley (we got the wrong Luke Rohan) or Skinny X but we will back in the system and assume they are two developing outside mids. I am not see enough yet from Brayshaw or Ainsworth to believe we have great prospects coming up so I am wanting to get right into re-stocking with some quality inside/balanced midfielders.
With the carnival and possible colts games, here are some names to consider that I think will be around the 10 to 25 mark.
SA - Stephens and Mead
WA - Sharp and Robertson (nephew of D Glass)
Tas - O'Neill
VC - Serong, Stephens and Rantall
I caught up with Monocle at the Claremont v EF game and Sharp played wing. Some have him as a defender, some as outside midfielder. I saw enough of a 17 year old playing against the Tigers seniors to believe he will move this year to midfield and I would call him a balanced midfielder. He will also be a possible wing and or Whitfield type attacking HBF.
Anyway, there are names that I will be hoping we look at. I think the asking price for either Kelly or Cogs will be 2 first rounders, assuming we can land the deals.
That's what I thought. Smith is a running machine who doesn't stick tackles or have great game impact. Someone who can run all day, provide a link option from minute 1 to minute 120. Sort of like Masten.It looks to me as if Smith and Foley were drafted to aim for Masten’s position. That’s not working out too flash so far but it’s early days for Foley.
Was thinking something like this. Are we going to see clubs let a few players know early that they’re not required and they then go and “retire” before coming out of retirement at the conclusion of the season to potentially be picked up by someone else? I’m sure there’s rules about this somewhere but who knows being the AFL.Can players retire and then nominate for the mid season draft? Ie a McInness essentially leaving us for Richmond?
Agree with that. Don't think he'll ever make an impact for us at AFL level and he'll probably be delisted at the end of the year. Don't mind the Edwards selection though.
You'd like us to draft Ainsworth again?We have a good injury list with no season ending injuries and a premiership winning list almost . Why would we need mature agers ?
We have so many young guys we need to pump games into .
If i was going to use the preseason draft it would be for over agers that were unlucky to miss out the year before. Eg ainsworth
Gulp...you don't mean down in that dark...gimp room? (no-one deserves that)I fear for Masto beyond the short term.
First it was drop Masten. Now it's de-list Masten. By the end of the season he could be a flayed man hanging from the walls of House Hungrytiger.
Plenty of open space to patrol there!!...miles and miles, years and years!It’s the only way freo can get premiership players on their list
