Pick 2: Nick Riewoldt

Can you guys tag the person with the next pick in your post

Also can you say where you want your picked player to play so that I can put it in your team.

Watch the other club boards copy this thread. Great idea TN25

This will be a bit of a longer post, but here goes...

First up, the team name will be the UB Barbarians, I believe it encapsulates the drafting policy I'm going to enact, being that I won't just be picking the best Saints footballers I can, but will be splicing in some of my all-time favourites and genuinely picking what I consider to be a playable side. I'll also do proper bio's, like I would with any PD.

Some of the picks might surprise, Stephen Wells-style but ultimately I think the team will be a winner. There will - as the name implies - be an emphasis on grunt, and I have a huge bias toward left footers, so watch out for that, but without further ado...


Pick 3 - Uncle Barrels' Barbarians: Ian STEWART, Hobart FC (180cm 81kg): supremely polished centreman.

St Kilda Career: 127 games (25 goals)
St Kilda Best & Fairest: 1964, 1966
St Kilda Premiership: 1966
St Kilda Team of the Century (centre)
Tasmanian Team of the Century (centre)
VFL/AFL Team of the Century (centre)
All Australian: 1966
Brownlow Medal: 1965 (tied), 1966, 1971 (Richmond)

I know, not a key forward - I'm as shocked as you are - but with Plugger gone, I decided to win the game from the middle first and one only needs to look at the list of accolades above to see how easy this choice was. Only four men in the history of the VFL/AFL have taken Charlie home three times, and Stewart is one of them, and that says a great deal. Probably the most supremely skilled player ever to pull on the red, white and black, Stewart was the epitome of class and skill in the middle of the ground, with a raking left boot - though he was brilliant off either foot - and simply more time and poise than everyone.

Playing in a notoriously tough era, Stewart also had rare courage; he moved like a ballerina and punched like a boxer. A true champion.

Armitage2Riewoldt, have at it.

[12Chill]

Well, now I need to have a bit of a think about who I'll be picking... Thanks a lot Barrels! Haha.

 

[12Chill]

Was going to be between Baldock and Harves, so A2R's made the pick easier for me.

Pick #5: Robert Harvey

Sure thing. Might try another game/draft next week

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Are you playing him at CHF?

Yes please.

 

[STK2020]

This is brilliant , love your work guys
Glued to all your selections

 

[Half Back Pocket]

Top 5 are clearly ahead of the next group (great!!)...so pick 6 is pretty difficult.

Pick 6. Big Buckets...Stewie Loewe

 

[Barrels]

No joke, I actually have a 'board'...

Where do you want to play him?

felsty You're pick

 

[Flandersss]

Can't wait until the next game, sign me up! TN25

 

[goodie23]

There's a very clear choice if he makes it through to my next pick, slim hope that it is

CHF please

Maybe the next few can send through a list to TN25 to speed things up

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Ah righto it's an all time list. I thought it was only going to be saints players that were actually taken in the draft since it began. Interesting concept.

 

[Keg on legs]

I'm loving this thread! would have loved to play, but better to leave it to the experts.

No real reason to hurry it up. And sending picks through doesn't always work. I don't mind how long this takes
