Interesting with what GWS ended up with.
They were heavily into small-forwards, Jacob Konstanty, Charlie Clarke & Ollie Hotton.
Having to match the bid on Harry Rowston so early, stuffed them up I reckon. Gotta love the Swans trading style.
And GWS picking Toby McMullin before Hotton, was a bit of a happy shock.
And their idea of Darcy Jones being a small-forward, bit of a shock also.
Reckon he's definitely suited to a roving or wing position.

Well we just drove off in the getaway van after that robbery. Gags was driving. Slayed it.

 

[True Believer]

Would Szybkowski, be a better option? than Stocker

No he wouldn't - I can pronounce Stocker.........

 

[Jay Beast]

Enjoy ladies & gents, we had a ripping draft.

Strangely enough I have more faith than I've had for years that we will get the best out of this crop.

Must be the RTB effect.

Continues to feel like we've turned a corner.

 

[Jay Beast]

Reckon Ethan Phillips from Port Melb is worth a rookie spot

 

[briztoon]

Hey guys, first time visiting your board (I believe).

It pains me to say it, but I thought you guys had a really good draft this year. Top 3 up there with West Coast and Carlton.

 

[AirWinmar]

That Keeler highlight reel is full freakshow. Great pickup - has the talent, hope he has the drive for it. It would be great if Paddy could mentor him a bit.

 

[Mat Mann]

the little kid who I used to walk home from primary school (Lives a few doors up) with my boy got drafted last night, popped around to say thanks ( we sent congrats )

so happy for these kids when you see the work they put in

 

[tomjoad]

None of our draftees are plug and play and if we are fair dinkum that includes Phillipou.

There should be enough talent on our list when fully fit that allows these guys to find their feet and form at Sandy. Even if it means some of them are 12-24 months away whilst they put on size and strength.

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

Whose work is this? Who receives the applause? Toce? Gallagher? Roughead? All the team?

ST KILDA​

10: Mattaes Phillipou (190cm, 89kg, Mid-Fwd, Woodville-West Torrens. Junior Club: Phantoms Football Club)

31: James Van Es (197cm, 98kg, Def, GWV Rebels. Junior Club: North Ballarat)

35: Olli Hotton (182cm, 79kg, Fwd, Sandringham Dragons. Junior Club: Hampton Rovers)

44: Isaac Keeler (198cm, 89kg, Fwd, North Adelaide. Junior Club: South Augusta)

CHRIS CAVANAGH’S VERDICT: Ticks all round. Got the X-Factor player they wanted in Phillipou, who some clubs had rated a top-five talent. Van Es fills a need for another key defender, Hotton was too good to pass up at pick 35 and Keeler could be anything.

Would Szybkowski, be a better option? than Stocker

Probably not. Stocker would be a much better player.

 

[The Boar]

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!

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..

 

[sammm]

We are nailing this draft, a pick of Hotton, Hustwaite or Keeler

You got what you wanted.

I think they deserve a well done.

Players may have slid. You still need to take them.

We could have been an eagles pick away from adding Hewett to the above aswell.

Anybody not happy with that haul is very hard to please imo. I’ve waited so long for a draft like that I wondered if I’d ever see one and all with a pretty ordinary hand as well.

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.

Yes they deserve a well done of course. Their selections appear to be excellent.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Absolute love this pick.

Kid moves so well and his skills are phenomenal for a big guy.

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.
