UnitedWarrior93 Only played footy since 2013 but Ratugolea is a fast learner...

Also, seems as though we've been a bit sneaky this draft. Booked Stewart in for surgery on state combine week so he couldn't test.
Then according to the paper today stopped playing our mature age ruck to hide him from other clubs. Not sure why we'd do that for the latter but Stewart it makes sense. Fitness permitting should be in contention to play R1.

Cripps out for 3 months really hurts me

Only positive is the season is 4 months away

He needed a big preseason so badly

LeBois!!

I hope Matty gets a medal, but gee was not expecting him to land there of all spots

Now M'Zungu. Long odds on both being picked up by the giants lol.

 

[jd2010]

If we can add Villis with one of the other two picks SOS has nailed it bar our first pick who I'm still a bit wary of

Van_Dyke honest thoughts on Alex silvagni

Guthers Jr.

9 sa (or sa based) players taken. none of them scharenberg. utterly bemusing.

eddy is an interesting one. kicks goals for fun down here but he's nowhere near big enough to play key position in the afl. really just a port ressies top up effort to help the chadster look good.

toby pink is the kid from the viral glenelg/north u/18's game where he kicked it from like 60 out after the siren, it fell short but every north player missed the spoil and it went through and glenelg won by a point.

actually it's 10. emmanuel irra moves to port too as a cat b rookie. not quite sure how that has happened as he has been at south for a while.

Van_Dyke honest thoughts on Alex silvagni

Good backup when not injured. Unfortunately that is most of the time.

Gee we've gone tall this off season.

English 205cm, Lipinski 188cm, Young 197cm, Greene 190cm, Mullenger-McHugh 196cm and Cloke 196cm.

All tall kids, but also quick and agile too. I guess Clokee's no slouch either.

Van_Dyke honest thoughts on Alex silvagni

He's not bad but can occasionally find himself lost and has a bit of white line fever. Injury history a concern but could prove to be a handy pickup.

 

[elhadjihenry]

No surprise we picked up Silvagni with such a young backline, useful depth if nothing else.

Is he fat like his dad?

Those demons have been slayed. Doubt youve got enough steel in the middle to worry us for a while.

He was originally a triplet. Daddy ate the other two though.

 

[FAITH]

thats nothing, he ate all the bulldogs players in 97 and 98

97 yeah(stupid Modras knee), but not 98. Wallace playing Smith on Robran and Andy McLeod doing his thing killed us the second time.

But those regrets are dead to me now. 2016 healed all wounds.

St Kilda will give you a run for your money then.
