List Mgmt. 2022 Draft Thread - Part I

Less of a disappointment than Narkle.

Concentrate on some young mids at the draft, Anderson can be a meat and potatoes back up at Sandy.
Low risk, low reward signing that won’t take us anywhere. Yep sounds like a Gallagher special.
 
Then again, watching the GF, Geelong made a point of moving the ball fast from player to player, no matter who had possession- nobody held on to the ball long enough for Sydney to put defensive moves into place anywhere across the ground.
It was sort of a direct opposite to how we had been playing- stop, start, stop start, get momentum then stop, and in the meantime, the opposition easily put defensive plays into place and had our midfield to half forward area covered most times.

Richo had us playing a bit like that at one point, though you need the players to be able to execute it.
Ie Tim going back to take the shot, then realising he's somewhere behind the centre line and needs to kick it to one of those guys who are well and truly manned up.
Dunstan quickly playing on by handballing it to ....anyone ... or kicking it anywhere.
 
Mature aged support for the young mids we'll have playing at Sandy once the draft is finished.

I am about to kill Bambi, but I'd actually prefer having him running around at Sandy than wasting another year waiting to see if Bytel makes it to AFL level.

Pick up Anderson, delist Bytel then have a crack at getting lucky with Pick 47.
Anderson is the definition of a list clogger and I usually hate that term

Bringing in a 29 year old to play reserves when you could be backing in kids

Bytel may not make it but at this stage of his career he's more chance than Anderson
 
This will blow your minds but I believe it’s the recruiters job to find players for St Kilda, not for Sandringham. If sandy want to sign him then they can but we need to find players who will be part of our next premiership. That should be the aim with every list spot.

Actually its all irrelevant - didn't realise that Bytel had recently signed a new contract.

I thought he was still hung out on the clothes line waiting for a contract so I'd assumed the club had pretty much moved on from him hence my interest in a mature age back up.

Nah his 1 year extension was announced during the final days of trade week.

Easy to miss it once the RTB excitement kicked in.
 
I'd chuck Ronke and Rowe in that mix of players. Need more small forwards to keep Butler honest, and Higgins to a lesser extent.

Anderson is quality and has the versatility to go forward. Would approve. Narkle seems destined for WA it seems.
I got the joke
 
Surely this convo is based on Noah not Jed, I mean are we really discussing the 'merits' of Jed Anderson?

RIP Bambi. 🥺
 
Yet for all this Carlton only finished one ladder spot ahead of us. Their Salary Cap is full as well as they overpayed for in effect two Brad Hills. They have a marginal ruck and an average last 6 players....eerily similar to RTB in our heyday
In a year they had the best player and goalkicker in the league they still missed finals...is all I need to know.

Saints with a new coach and attitude is just as exiting entering next year as the Blues.

The Brownbagger's salary cap full? :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

That's a pretty good joke :thumbsu:

Wasting a year?
How is recruiting a 29 not simply wasting a year or two?
Unless you expect him to go full Harvey, there is no future there.
Ohhhh the new recruit we get in the first round of the draft may not play much next year, lets not "waste " that year and get some old delisted player instead.
 
Not sure where to post this, but surely we look at Jake Stein as a back up defender through this Delisted Free Agency period.
 
Keeping in mind they had the 2nd easiest draw last season. Saints had one of the toughest, which is often lost in reviewing the performance of the team.
Yep
we did have a hard draw but lost to Port kicking 5 goals 19 behinds, when port were in crap form

Smashed by Essendon (enough said )

and smashed by the Dogs which imo was one of our coaching teams worst nights in the box

Hopefully under Lyon we dont lose those games anymore

If as expected we pick up a good mid in the draft , we don't need another midfielder taking up positions in the 2s that need to be given to the youngsters.

With Steele , Crouch , Gresham as our main midfielders guy's like Ross , Jones , Clark , Windhager , Owens , Bytel , Byrne , Higgins , McKenzie will be all trying to be regulars in the seniors.

Naismith from the Swans has been let go too. He looked really good a while back. Apparently had a double knee reco after they stuffed the surgery on the first one so has missed 2 years.

James Rowe or Ben Ronke probably make more sense though. Rowe probably suits us more.
