Draft rumours

[Judd2Sewell]

As I already mentioned they wont select tapscott.

He is finished.

What's happened there? I remember him starting his career off brightly.

 

[TradeDraft]

So, back on track, rumours for the Rookie Draft?

I reckon Josh Glenn will be selected ...

Collingwood will Rookie Tony Armstrong with last pick

Seems to be constantly injured. If he gets fit could have an impact. A little like how Pettard has gone at Richmond. He was always injured at Melbourne.

Going to be plenty of recycled guys going on the RL

 

[ManOfClay]

Anyone else hear the rumour Petracca told St Kilda he'd ask for a trade as soon as his contract was up if they drafted him?

Yeah a few people have gone with that one. Pretty much BS if you ask me. Would have thought clubs would have more balls than that to. Especially seeing he would have been drafted by a club in his home state.

Yeah I read it on the saints board and personally thought it was just them justifying going with McCartin

Yeah a bit of justification has gone on. I think the saints needed a key forward though and some had him pretty close to number 1 anyway.

I reckon he would have preferred the Saints to the Dees, but it's just a gut feel. His family (understandably) expressed concerns about our ability to develop players, but supposedly had their fears allayed - Roos/new coaching group, etc.

If anything, I have an inkling Petracca would have embraced the glory of being pick 1. He's a tad immature and it will probably benefit him in the long-term that he wasn't.

With all due respect, how much difference is there between the Saints & Dees?

 

[doug85]

11 flags.

 

[Asgardian]

11 flags.

One uses flags, the other cones?

 

[TheJackal]

11 flags.

And in two years we can say neither club has won a flag in 50 years or more. So to the original question, not a great deal.

Eleven flags is a 11 flags, until it becomes 10 or 12.

 

[Defacto]

How many of them have dees supporters actually witnessed?

Unless you live it there's no point harping on about them IMO

While I was born about 25 years after our last I have enjoyed reading and hearing about our golden era's. But living one would be awesome.

Who knows ? But a couple of points. I'm not "harping" about anything; and when someone asks the difference between our respective teams the facts will always hold centre stage. Now and in 100 years, whatever that may be.

i just find it bizarre that people cling to something that they were never there for. sure it can be interesting to read about when your bored, but really it wouldnt even compare to watching your team win a close home and away game. essentially they mean nothing, apart from some history and nostalgia.

flags won, what is it now, almost 60 years ago, would mean absolutely 0 to a player

That's great, mate. I'm just confirming facts.

You can please yourself how emotional they make you.

If you want something more current...

the difference is 15 spoons

 

[Ian Dunross]

Any football person would take the Saints' last 20 years over the Dees'. Great to have pride in your club's history, but when your recent history is so losing, I'd have a bit more humility.

Who's lacking humility ? We're well aware of our wretched plight.

You've had more enjoyment over the last decade, although we made 6 finals appearances in 10 years under Daniher if you want to include the last 20, but ultimately a flag is all that matters and neither of us have one.

So we're left with history. And you can reflect on that, or not. Up to you.

 

[doug85]

I'm so bloody sick of every thread on bigfooty degenerating into a Saints vs Demons shitfight.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

I think they had enough of that. As soon as the McCartin rumour become more factual Petracca became fat, egotistical, and lazy.

Melbourne want Zak Jones from Sydney
