Extra picks assigned for our vacant senior list spots. Enables matching bids for both Cole and Hofmann (and Peckett if necessary)

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Based on the tier lists if we trade 8 for 15 and 16 do we think we can get 2 players in tier 2

Tier 2 in any order:
Reid
Lindsay
Langford
Trainor
Hotton

Lindsay & Trainor for mine

 

[akaifu]

Sharman and Heath promoted to the senior list

 

[Yass03]

Possibly a stupid question but i wanna ask anyway. Is there a realistic world where we split both picks and next year's first to end up with 4 picks in the top 20 of this draft?

 

[RobbieMuir]

Swap 7 & 32 with Richmond for 11 and 20.
Swap 8 and F2 to GWS for 15 & 16

We end up with 11, 15, 16, and 20 (and keep F1).

Must admit. The more I think about it the more Murphy Reid makes sense. I’m not worried about his physical limitations. I think he’s gonna be a midfield star. Chuck him along with big bodied Pou and contested defensive pig windy it would be a semi perfect mix. Add either of smillie/langford on top of that and we are salivating with a perfect blend of centre bounce mids. He also has the best hands in the draft class (a dalrymple special) and has been right under our nose all year. Id rather keep picks 7/8 and take him with one of them. ️

 

[St Neil]

I think I’ve decoded the cypher. Apparently St “rain man” Neil thinks Jagga is a chance of making it to our pick. The Dees take Langford and Tigers take Smillie. Let’s hope the genius is correct.

I have been called many things but never a genius.

Thank you kind Sir!

Swap 8 and F2 to GWS for 15 & 16

We end up with 11, 15, 16, and 20 (and keep F1).

You reckon that'd have us in a better or worse position than we are now?

 

[Yass03]

If we end up with 11, 15, 16, and 20 I can see us landing a haul of allan/travaglia at 11, hynes+shanahan at 15/16, and I like the looks of dattoli or gross at 20 or even hotton if he slides that far.

 

[stavro#4]

The Saints hold picks 7 and 8 and rivals aren’t ruling out the prospect of them using one of those picks on a player like Shanahan.

If he gets past his childhood club, he is expected to be picked up with a selection in the teens, being linked to the likes of Fremantle, Greater Western Sydney, Port Adelaide and Sydney.

Allan could hopefully remain available at 15
You would think we look at Trainor 16/20

Will put my house on we don’t. I’m that confident come draft night if we hold 7/8 one of them will be Reid and the other will be the sliding mid

 

[Jayman15]

Cal Twomey on Nines WWOS with McClure 12/11

 

[Yass03]

I'd hope we're not taking any key position players unless we had 3 or 4 picks. I'd be absolutely livid if we took a key at 7 or 8.

Anything of note?

Don't want Hotton Shanahan Whitlock or Trainor. Give me one of those bloody top 6 mids or Tauru and Reid. Get a ruck with 32. Keep it simple. If we split 8, I will accept Lindsay or Travaglia with Hynes.

 

[Mowman]

100% agree

 

[Ads734]

The fact you highlight all the extra support indigenous boys get kind of proves the point I was making earlier.

Sheezel was a gun forward who had potential to become a midfielder. That meant his floor was becoming an A-grade small forward - hence why he was a safe top 5 pick. Ceiling was...well what we're seeing him become now

Reid doesn't have that fall-back option because he isn't a proven forward. His floor is Will Phillips (who tested a 2.906 20m sprint in 2020 but is as slow as anything at AFL level). No one is spending a top 10 pick on a player that could bust that hard, even if his ceiling is Lachie Neale (because thats one in a million)

Lol using combine testing speed as evidence is as flawed as your argument.

So basically we've interviewed him multiple times as part of our due diligence on the 10-20 range so if we get 15&16, we'll take him

[Saintscomemarchingin]

I wanna know, how we choose both Cole & Hoffman, what picks do we have.
If it's with picks 32 & 47 to match their bids, are they worth it?
Seems like Peckett might get to us as a FS/Sandy rookie?

Apparently for bids after pick 56 you just need to use your last pick to match. So if Lenny gets bid on after 55, 88 will be enough to match. Cole I'm not too sure though, gonna need more clarification on that one.

I’d be surprised if we have 32 and 47 by the time Hoffman and Cole are bid on.
