Toast Welcome to St.Kilda - HUGO GARCIA!

[SaintsSeptember]

That 2012 draft will prbably go down as one of the worst of all time.
In 2011 we got Ross Webster and Newnes so
500+ games from not having a pick below 20 is pretty impressive.

In 2012

Quality PLayers in order

Whitfield
Mccrae
Stringer
Wines
Viney (FS)
Vlastuin
Daniher (FS)
Grundy
Tim Membrey
mason Wood

That is literally it.

I thought we nailed that draft, but then people started hating on Ross, Newnes and Webster.

Markworth could have been anything (if he had talent).

Markworth had big wraps on him by the club.

I think the problem was not lack of talent, but rather a never ending run of injuries.

Newnes did well for himself landing at St.Kilda when he did... it's hard to believe that he managed a 200 game career. Webster and Ross are both AFL quality players, that most sides would be happy to play. Nothing spectacular about either, but both useful and more often than not, do their job.

Does anyone know were any player was rated? The only thing we can be sure of it that Wilson was ahead of Leake.

Newnes was no star, but he was OK.
Richo gave him crap "roles" to play , then got rid of him because he wasn't effective in those roles.
