Honestly thank **** we didn't take obvious future campaigners Boyd and Blakiston, let's just take the best ruck in the draft instead

 

[aussierulesrules]

 

[projectv]

Basketball background.

 

[Banger9798]

Pick 45 for both Macrae and Boxshall.

That's a great stat

 

[L_W_P]

We have killed this draft on a pure talent basis.

We have genuinely gone full upside on each pick.

Wow. I’m so very impressed.

Lots of pressure on BJ and the development team to get this right now.

On talent we have no excuses.

If we develop this group properly we are laughing!

 

[hangdog]

So happy getting Dodson and...

 

[Broski]

Based on exposed underage form, we have had a really great group of kids.

What happens with Cole, Hoffman and Peckett? Hope some of them slip to the Rookie Draft?

 

[Pou Steele]

Wonder why Dodson slid so far?

 

[Veer Right]

Rated ruckman taken for a 50s pick. That is a win no matter how you look at it.

 

[SaintsofSteel]

I am absolutley stoked we took Alex Dodson and to get him so late has made the draft for me - sensational. Happy days Santers...

 

[_Maximus_12]

If Hoffman, Pecket & Cole get bid we can’t match can we?

 

[projectv]

Sydney didn't learn from having one of their players pinched and immediately seagull the Campo twin.

 

[mighty_sainters]

My god did you see Dalrymple, him and SOS were cooking something there.

 

[Sandor Ferenczi]

Surprised no club has gone for Unwin

 

[L_W_P]

Wonder why Dodson slid so far?

Nobody went to his birthday party.

 

[my name was taken]

Compares his style to Grundy, Jackson and Ro

I like this, alot

 

[Armoooo]

A lot of people wanted Dodson to be one of the ones we'd draft if we split pick 8.

Ending up with him anyway is a really good result.

 

[Yawkey way]

We do if crouch is finished

Pay him out.

 

[SaintWWodonga]

He's a great tap Ruckman!

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Panning out quite well.

 

[Hayes4PM]

So Travaglia, Tauru, Barrat, Boxshall and Dodson. That seems like a pretty good haul to date. Barrat maybe the one that surprises me a bit with Whitlock, Ough and Moraes still available, but hearing that he's had some injury setbacks and still performed will is promising.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

What a haul. People might sook it up for a while on the mids, but bullish on some of these.

 

[DougalHoward]

Pay him out.

Ross has said he's gone

 

[Vacuous Space]

Wonder why Dodson slid so far?

A lot of teams think that drafting a ruck means wasting years developing a player for another club

 

[topbillings]

Wonder why Dodson slid so far?

Sheehan said their might be some fear from clubs that his heart isn't entirely in AFL (he was, at one time, deciding between AFL and basketball).
