List Mgmt. Trading in - thinking outside the square wish list

[Saint believer]

With growing discussion around JDG and a St Kilda list shake up and seeing Buddy in a Sydney jumper I thought it would be interesting to see who is at the top of the list of players we would be after if everyone was available.

Rules:
- top 12 players,
- Max three players over 26 years old
- must include some forwards and backs

From my really limited knowledge of players from other team, his is my first stab:
1. Josh Kelly - right age, elite at every thing
2. Patrick Cripps - inside fantastic
3. Nat Fyfe - Best player in the comp
4. Trent Cotchin - perfect player leader
5. Dylan Shiel - great inside and fantastic delivery
6. Rory Laird - fantastic modern backman
7. James Sicily - Match winner
8. Brody Grundy - most complete ruckman
9. JDG - up and coming Dusty
10. Jaidyn Stephenson - young fast and x factor
11. Ben Brown - does the basics so well
12. Isaac Heeney - star forward of Mid

Future focused list. Wouldn't take anyone over 25.

1. Josh Kelly
2. Brodie Grundy
3. Patrick Cripps
4. Isaac Heeney
5. Harris Andrews
6. Adam Cerra
7. Jaidyn Stephenson
8. Rory Laird
9. Clayton Oliver
10. Elliot Yeo

Isn't this the very definition of thinking inside the square? Going after the #1 players in the competition?

 

[Sab22]

I take anyone who can get us a premiership

Yep. This is basically every footy fan's Xmas list to Santa. Outside the square is the moneyball type smokey which no one thinks would be that great, but ends up making a huge difference, the last time we did that so far is Tim Membrey and arguably Josh Bruce.

yeah, but 3 posts above yours Clayton Oliver is mentioned. I'm never barracking for that sooky la-la.

What, no one for Dangerfield?
I would want Fyfe and Dusty before him anyway.

i think this thread would be heaps better if you could only list money ball types, so not the stars of the comp or those considered safe at another club "i.e. why would stephenson ever leave"

 

[Yawkey way]

1 Dusty
2 Kelly
3 Buddy

Thanks for coming.

Funny, my father said I could see the Saints win a premiership in my lifetime.. Where's my flag?

This.

And with that in mind, my actual outside the box picks would be Hugh Greenwood and Jarryd Lyons to get some bloody mongrel into the midfield.
Otherwise, in the theme of the thread were everyone available? Tom Mitchell. Millions of effective disposals being delivered up forward? Yes plz

Dont be impatient. I have been waiting a year longer than you.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Keep waiting
We won't see one in the next ten years
