Not gonna pretend I know anything about the young crop of new draftees. The only one I really had a good look at pre draft was Pou and he’s the one I wanted but didn’t think he’s get to us.
Just judging our success by going off all your reactions and appears we nailed it.
Unless of course you’re all pretending

What a difference a couple of solid drafts makes…

The current U23s;

B: Connolly - Van Es - Coffield*
HB: Clark* - Adams - Sharman
C: Wang.-Mil. - Owens - Byrnes
HF: Hotton - Allison - Phillipou
F: Peris - King - Keeler
Foll: Heath - Bytel - Windhager

*Coffield and Clark being the next two youngest.

Sure, they’re mostly unproven, and there’s a few that seem a fair way off it so far, but geez there’s some cause for optimism in 2021/22 draft crops…

Just watched some of Keeler's highlights...

The lad moves like a ruck rover! Also I don't recall seeing a big guy like him who looks so good off the left foot. Looks pretty natural. Watching him gave me serious Luke Jackson

Your missing our rookie and stocker too

Your missing our rookie and stocker too

I’m 16 hours behind…

 

[Fehring]

This stuff is crap.
If someone takes a player earlier than they are rated , its ages before we know its right or wrong.
If they let someone slide. Same

I just searched up the Huns 2013 summary as an example. Boy it did not age well!

[sammm]

McLennan sits outside our list I believe. Theoretically we could take two tomorrow

We either take 1 rookie tomorrow or none and leave it too mid draft or psd. McLennan for NGA, Probably 1 tomorrow, Stocker for psd if he is any good and mid season if there is a long term injury.

into Ollie Hotton?

I'd take that gamble everyday

 

[Saint believer]

Absolute love this pick.

Looks part Paddy, part Nic Nat, Part Buddy!

 

[Verdun]

Looks part Paddy, part Nic Nat, Part Buddy!

No pressure!

 

[dudeintheswamp]

So am I right in thinking we'll take Angus today and leave the other spot(s) open?

 

[saintmike65]

THIS, agree 100%...although you never know. I'm hoping for some surprises.

Understand we’re your coming from but I’d be very surprised if Phillipou isn’t in our 23 round 1.

 

[Mr_R0b0t]

Let's take a breath.
They essentially did phark all the whole trade season and took a group of sliders on the night. It looks like a good result, but best just leave it at that..

Exciting group of draftees, everyone should be excited. Especially on the back of Geoff Walsh and RTB appointments along with Rob Harvey, Lenny & BJ plus Misson. Exciting times, we are becoming relevant...

Now the hard work begins

 

[crasha301]

Keeler, nas and pou all to share a house? The club should be right onto this.

Really happy with this haul. Covered most needs and went hard on speed and x-factor.

We may not have been able to get that extra 2nd round pick but I don't think that has mattered in the end. We've still got a very good group (on paper) and haven't had to eat into next years pick to do it.

Well done to everyone involved. Now let's develop these guys properly.

Yeah if someone had told me we would end up with Hotton, Keeler and Van Es I think I would have presumed we found an extra 2nd round pick.

It was great we managed to fill all the needs that were spoken of as well as find highly rated kids.

Most had Hotton going late first or early 2nd and some had Keeler quote high in the rankings.

 

[tomjoad]

Understand we’re your coming from but I’d be very surprised if Phillipou isn’t in our 23 round 1.

Here's hoping. Would love it if he finds his groove quickly and can handle the speed. One way or the other, he'll be sure to get a few games at some stage during the season.

 

[L_W_P]

Late to the party but we nailed exactly what I wanted last night.

I would have gone Hotton, Keeler then Van Es but whatever.

Loved Gags talking to the AFL Draft team about JVE - "He's a man." If he busts arse he could be RTB's new Zac Dawson

[snails13]

How good was the haul!!

Even better when we didn't touch our Future Picks- which we'll need to grab all the 2023 SA Talent!

Now add a Rookie, Stocker and our NGA Cat B Rookie and get them to work!

Yeah,agree, potentially the best we have had in many a year
Funny how most experts criticised us for a poor trade period,with our recruitment team all along saying we are going to the Draft
Well they (Recruitment Team)could not have done any better.
Well done to them.

 

[snails13]

Reading some of the replies it looks like he’s already getting under some peoples skin and it’s day one

Awesome go Mattaes,love ya already.

 

[Munga]

No one saw the Saints coming on draft night... nor did anyone see us leaving...

 

[snails13]

Everyone’s calling him the next Paddy Ryder but if he thinks he can be the next Buddy we’re set for life. 1000 goals incoming

I have only watched Isaac's highlights reel,but from what I watched,how and why have Adelaide not elected to take this bloke.

 

[Joffaboy]

Disagree - we were not stupid during the trade period for a change. Showed faith in our list by not trading out some players, and have not lost picks in future years. Yeah may have not been spectacular but I am comfortable with that. We are not privileged like Geelong to be gifted a top 10 pick in trade period.

Yes it is early but for once we have addressed needs, I am happy.

Have drafted mids! Along with a defender and ruck with potential.

Not fn hbflankers who we put in the guts.

Last years and this years draft haul is full of class hope in the future we can look back and say yep nailed it. Realise it is to early but believe there is reason to be pleased compared to other years.

We were saved by North though. 9 and Clark for 3 would not have been any better than what we got. And we still have Clark.

 

[botts]

Knightmare very happy with our haul

Make it easier for the SA list managers to pitch to them I suppose.

 

[Goddardwetrust]

Good stuff. Happy with that.
Room for Stocker plus our NGA lad as a rookie just to cap it off?

2 months ago everyone was ready to chuck in the towel. Flat as anything.

I reckon everyone is absolutely chomping at the bit for next season to start now.

You're spot on, haven't been this excited about our club in years.
