List Mgmt. 2023 Draft Thread - Part I

[Saints_87]

Twomey-

We like Edwards. But not enough at our first pick and he will be gone before our second.


If Dawson is available at our second pick. We are a good chance. But fair bit of interest.

By the sounds of that, looks like we might trade back in for Edwards

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Harry Demattia has trout/Libba pick vibes about it

 

[stavro#4]

Wilson DeMattia Edwards

To land 2 of them. We realistically need one of:

Adelaide (could be GWS) pick 14
North Pick 15

Happy Harry Demattia Day Sainters ️️

In 2013 that was a correct statement.

You prove what I am driving at. Pointless to make definitive statements and write off 18.y.o's before they have put on a boot.

Someone share

Poor Leake.
The only picture of him is when he's doing his impersonation of a Xenomorph.

 

[Joffaboy]

So I'm assuming you two can tell me who's having the better career out of Wilson and DeMattia then?

No, and that is the exact point. They are needing seasons of development, but people make definitive statements on their careers as 18 y.o's.
Complete farce.

Do you mean Simpson?

Jesus, do I?
...Yep, just checked.
That Simpson kid goes alright, doesn't he?

Happy Draft Day everybody

Excited to see what we end up with when it's all said and done.

Based on not much at all, I'm hoping we land:

1. Wilson/Tholstrup/Edwards
2. Murphy/Dawson/Hardeman
3. Simpson/Hastie/Hall
4. Lloyd/ McAuliffe

Will be happy with whatever Toce and the crew can come up with though!

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Absolutely agree, I really wasn't a fan of that pick, thought he was going to take years to even be relevant. But they saw something, and nailed it.

There were a fair few good players before him, but thank god we didn't take Sinn.
Hobbs isn't spectacular to look at but he'll be useful at Essendon.

 

[Significant]

Wilson
One of De Mattia or Edwards
Simpson
McAuliffe

Would be the dream - on the above, I would be rookie listing the KPD from Geelong VFL that escapes me given how small we have gone

 

[George]

Another thing that goes against DeMattia is that he's Italian.

 

[George]

Like clockwork every year. His little mate who cuts his own hair gets questioned and he comes out swinging!

And some of us lie about having mates in Toorak (when it actuality it's SpRiNgVaLe). Each to their own, dweeb

We still have Howard and Van Es on the list.
Is a VFL Defender likely to be better than Cordy?

I don't mind us getting another one, but only if he's a genuine draft prospect, we don't need another in emergencies break glass player.

Sounds like cheap, bottled pasta sauce. Do not want.

 

[Half Back Pocket]

Has anyone heard that this is the plan? 27 likely for Simpson?

Picks: 13, 21, 40, 77, 82, 86 (likely to use four or five selections)

It will be a wait and see who gets through to St Kilda's third pick after their two early selections but they have been looking to move up the board and are expected to trade a future third-round pick for Melbourne's pick 42. They will then likely turn that pick, plus 40, into Gold Coast's pick 27, handing the Saints three top-30 selections.

Well if Gringo is going to keep pushing up Ethan Phillips, Barrels is going to 'fawn' over Fisher McAsey and others are suggesting we grab any old State League player, then I'm gonna rekindle an old BF fave.

Let's go get us some Blake Schlensog

[sunny3193]

In order of priority, best available, and point of difference with current list:
1. Mid,
2. KPB,
3. Lockdown small defender,
4. Ruck or opportunistic slider.

I only want the Shlong if we take Gothard.

So that's a yes to Gothard Shlong.
and a no to Shlong Leake.

He’s not been mentioned with us from what I can tell, even though he’s under our nose at Dandy. Although, not sure there’s been a huge amount of connection with him, perhaps aside from Carlton. Who have 28 and we would slide into 27. But we may well go elsewhere

He had that mo at Under 8s

I'm hoping he's a secret.

we are getting in front of Carlton who have been linked, so there may be a strategy behind that.
