With Rice coming to the club, what happens to Wright? I don't think he's got the foot skills of Bailey...

Love his kicking accuracy under pressure there most of the time. Also, nice to hear them talking up Matho at about the 20 second mark, just quietly...

Does anyone know how Rice went at the combine? doesn't seem the athletic type BrianSpeaking

Tested in the top 25% for several areas. Is deceptively quick, I'll have those results soonish.

He needs to improve if he is there next year.

Thanks mate!

That's what I'm getting at, I reckon we could trade him out... Not sure his value though...

But has Rice got the ' Cats head tuffness' of Wright??
Somebody splice the two together

 

[holllywood]

Can never have enough good users of the ball. Glad he picked us.

Richo said he wants Wright playing midfield long term. He and Saunders fighting for the one spot beyond next year.

 

[StFly]

I'm taking Wright 9/10 over Saunders, but wouldn't trust either to hit a barn yard to save my beloved pet from danger.

Also, great to see that we getting to the stage where we are an attractive prospect for people to have a career in footy, and credit to Rice for taking as much time as he needed to make a decision on his start point in the AFL. This could set him up for the next 20 years-lifetime, don't care if the kid oozes talent, seems very level headed in such decision making and not rushed at all.

 

[jwikked]

Pretty chuffed with this.
Says a whole lot when a kid who grew up barracking for Carlton - who's father is a Carlton Premiership player.. Picks St Kilda over Carlton.

Personally, if I ever had to pick between my club and another I couldn't see how I could choose anything else.

Says a lot about the direction the Saints are going in.

 

[KingLonie]

I find it funny that Saints will miss out on both Carlisle and Bailey Rice

How are Jake and Bailey going down at IKON Park gilo?

[12Chill]

Did someone say Rice?

Absolutely fantastic news.

 

[crasha301]

Will the club make a officially statement now or wait till we draft him?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Knightmare on Bailey Rice: "Rice by several recruiters is rated inside the top 20."

That's not entirely what we want though is it? What would happen with us if someone bids a top 20 bid, considering we will likely have traded our second rounder this year?

 

[cowboysteel66]

Would Bailey rice be ready to play next year or is he a long term development player?

 

[Curunir]

Really happy with Rice. Watched a few of his games and he is such a good kick! Should slot nicely into our backline.

Yeah it's not ideal if we still have a pick in the 20's, but I reckon we'll have traded any of those we have by then and will then be able to use late picks that we accumulate.

If there was any doubt about the task in front of Carlton, Bailey Rice's decision illustrates it clearly. Not that there was much doubt.

@3AWSportsToday: Dwayne Russell: 'You have to admire what St Kilda have done in recent times. Good young kids, a good coach. A good choice for Bailey Rice'

 

[Loyal Sainter]

Some love from Dwayne.
