Saints now have picks 7 and 8.

Would the Saints come for Oliver knowing that either those picks would get the deal done?

+ Marcus Windhager or Mason Wood.

Yes I miss having a Mark/Marc/Marcus in the team.

Surely they were one of the clubs Pert spoke to.

Strong feeling Cats were the only takers.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Was reading DL earlier, so many people over there wondering why Pert didnt offer Oliver to teams with better picks and specifically chose Geelong, lol. Why dont these people understand? just cause you think Oliver is great doesnt mean any other club wants that horrendous contract and is willing to run a 24/7 baby sitting service for him.

 

[stEdy]

Ross has been super open about needing a proper midfield - Saints starting midfield is trash.

He loves a project and would be surely interested in the idea of being the one to get him on the straight and narrow like he did with Sonny Walters. Plenty of talented flankers that need the ball fed to them too (NWM, Sinclair, Wilson)

He'd have to think long and hard about it. They'd have heaps of cap space too.

Only thing is they have pretty weak core of senior players/leaders and might not want to take on Clayton's "cultural baggage"

 

[Grimey Sylvia]

This is like the most overegged season of MAFS or something - all the on again, off again; fed up with his shenanigans but 'we can fix him!'

Some doco maker could get a mint if they snuck in the past couple of years. Plus the Trac subplot, JSmith and Hunts drama. Great popcorn tv

Find out the real reason Oliver has been living with Gawn is because his pet tiger got out and has been roaming around his property.

 

[Grimey Sylvia]

The AFL should thank Melbourne for the content they’ve given them to fill the lulls of the pre-finals bye and the week between GF and Trade Week. A well timed circus.

Move over solar Rheem. New No1 supporter of trade week, the MFC!

 

[Bluelegs]

Not that I care about Oliver's feelings but I dont understand what Pert did that was so good or will help us. Its basically exactly what we did last year when you flamed Lamb for not trading him.

Pert: Oversteps his position, embarrasses the club, pisses off the player, no trade gets done.
Mich0: Masterful gambit, sir.

 

[Deemanding]

You're so demanding

Definitely more so that me it seems

Agree with all this. Surely they would want to speak with him at the least.

 

[Demon 16]

No pressure Wade Derksen, but you better be ready to save this football club

Love this!..

From the Age. Marc McGowan usually follows the draft fairly closely as well.

18. Murphy Reid
Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
Midfielder/forward, 181cm, 30/7/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 25.1 disposals, 10.3 contested possessions, 4.1 clearances
The Age’s August top 30: 17
There is a chance that Reid’s football smarts, game awareness, skills and super-quick decision-making will convince a club to grab him earlier than this. However, most recruiters who spoke to this masthead rated him in this range of the draft because of his lack of height and leg speed. They believe he is more likely to make his AFL living mostly as a forward rather than a midfielder. Reid won a season-low eight disposals in the Talent League grand final, but was mostly stellar throughout the season, including winning Metro’s MVP award and earning All-Australian selection.

6. Isaac Kako
Calder Cannons/Vic Metro
Forward, 175cm, 7/3/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 18.7 disposals, 1.7 goals, 7.7 score involvements
The Age’s August top 30: 12
Essendon may need to match a high opposition bid on their NGA prospect, with Melbourne strongly considering the dangerous small forward – or are they playing games with the Bombers? Either way, Kako, whose parents were born in Iraq, is considered a top-10 lock after a brilliant national under-18 championships. There should be no hesitation taking a sub-180cm goalsneak with Kako’s ability this high after Nick Watson’s impressive debut season. Kako is powerful, and has a knack for creating scoring opportunities and kicking audacious goals from seemingly hopeless situations. He can improve defensively, but can impact the game beyond the forward 50.

27. Cooper Hynes
Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Metro
Midfielder/forward, 190cm, 28/2/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 23.7 disposals, 4.7 clearances, 1.5 goals
The Age’s August top 30: N/A
Hynes makes his debut in our rankings after an eye-catching season where his powerful and aggressive playing style drew comparisons with ex-North Melbourne captain Jack Ziebell

and current Roo Cam Zurhaar. West Coast and Melbourne are two of his biggest fans, but there are other clubs that would not consider him in this draft range. Hynes’ endurance will need to improve if he is to play any meaningful midfield minutes in the AFL, but his forward craft and clearance work are rated highly. He and Langford provided a strong one-two punch for the Stingrays.

5. Harvey Langford
Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country
Midfielder, 190cm, 15/3/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 25.9 disposals, 4.7 clearances, 1.3 goals
The Age’s August top 30: 11
Alongside Smith and Ashcroft, Langford was the most consistently excellent performer this year. He was seen more as a top-30 prospect before the championships, but has shot up draft boards by continually playing well. The co-Larke medallist is big by midfield standards, can play various positions, is a good mark, hits the scoreboard regularly, works hard off the ball, and physically handled the step-up to VFL in a cameo with the Tigers. Some recruiters would be prepared to take him at No.1. There are still queries on his speed and decision-making at times – particularly his kicking inside 50 – but there is no argument with his output.

 

[SugarHealey]

The same list management that offered him that stupid contract. They’re trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube, the silly sausages.

HaHa. silly sausages. Try putting the sausage meat back in the sausage, and see how long that takes.
It'll be the start of the 2025 season before your done.

I agree with some of the critiquing of Reid; however, it's a bit disingenuous to publish his 'season-low' GF stats without mentioning that he got injured and didn't play out the game.

Strained knee very early in the second or late in the first wasn’t it?

So basically on target for 35 possessions!

I’m not rating him as high as some of us, but he can find the ball and has super hands.

 

[I Love Lamb]

Reid’s profile makes him sound like Spargo 2.0

From vision I have seen I rate him much higher than that but admittently haven’t seen him play live.

Out of those the ones that intrest me are Issac Kako and Cooper Hynes, Harvey Langford not far behind. Maybe Alix Tauru?

[Crusty Demon]

Well for the saints this is right after they had their yearly whinge

Clearly planned and perfectly executed getting the compo. All the talk leading up to that night was 2nd round compo. Unbelievable how the AFL just make s* up on the fly.

 

[Dancing Potato]

• We have a future first on the table for GC's pick 13 (are we banking on being good next year? Lol)
• No contract for Tomlinson, Pies interested

 

[Crusty Demon]

Saints now have picks 7 and 8.

Would the Saints come for Oliver knowing that either those picks would get the deal done?

I said this earlier today that if the Saints get Band 1 compo, then they'd be surely tempted to throw it at Clarry. They'd have the cap space and now got a tempting piece in the draft.
