Because he was terrible in the couple of Champs games he played - perhaps a product of a bad Metro team in general
According to Simon Dalrymple it's highly unlikely we'll use next year's draft capital to get back into this year...rates the draft as very weak
What bad news for: Carlton and Essendon.

I'm curious whether we will upgrade Hall, even though we technically don't need to. Spots might be tight again next year and perhaps it's better having him on the senior list rather than giving a 2-year commitment to a late pick who might have fallen through to the rookie draft anyway

I’m meaning Ludo more specifically, but good to hear that Mike re: Dalrymple. Ordinarily I’d be super jealous hearing about who is taking who in the first round, but tbh most of the top 10 doesn’t hold much appeal.
Such a ridiculous concept. That if a kid happens to be born in Hong Kong he should be tied to a particular AFL club.30. KYE FINCHER

Not only is Fincher a great size, he also has the appealing combination of strength and speed, as well as good kicking and marking ability, to break games open. Fincher had a strong season for the Sandringham Dragons, amassing at least 18 disposals in all nine of his Coates Talent League matches. He was also one Vic Metro’s strongest performers at the national champs, averaging 20.5 disposals and 5.5 rebound 50s playing off half-back. But it was Fincher’s VFL debut for the Sandringham Zebras where he had 26 disposals, six tackles, five marks and four clearances against Essendon that genuinely he proved he has AFL traits. As he was born in Hong Kong, Fincher is tied to St Kilda via its NGA program, with a late first-round bid an outside chance. As it stands, the Saints only have Pick 50 after a busy trade period … so if they want him, they might have to get creative.

Wow going by those rankings there'll be plenty of talent left for us around our first open pick which should be around 55 after bids30. KYE FINCHER

I think we hold off upgrading Hall this year...
I’m not sure we take 2 at the national draft tbh. There isn’t a single guy on our list that I would ditch in favour of one from that list, and getting drafted in the national draft means a guaranteed 2 year contract, meaning 1 less list spot at the end of next year. I would be surprised if the draft actually goes for 55 selections this year, clubs actively want out of it.
I think it'd be a similar group of options in the rookie draft given our national pick would be one of the last of the draft
He had to be, and he has.
I think they have him going in the mid to late teens, probably unlikely for us but lots of wheeling and dealing still going on behind the scenes so who knows.
