In addition.

Max and Harvs to Veterans List
Leaves us with 1 Rookie in the draft. Unless we promote or delist more rookies.

Keep: Van Rheenen, Wall, Eddy
Promote: Attard (+ put on LTI list), Geary
Delist: Jones.

With the price of paper and ink these days, I would want to do a large blanket coverage of as many kids as I could.

Surely it's not difficult to write a questionaire and send it to potential draftees?

Anyone with a "Diploma of Google Searching" could find one that's relevant. The best ones are licenced to universities and such though, but wouldn't be all that expensive for the Saints to licence.

Playing Riewoldt at FF is a waste of his biggest talent, his ability to run and create. I'd like to see Goddard play the first half of the season across Half Forward, with Riewoldt pushing up a little further. The biggest problem with having Riewoldt on a wing is that he's got no-one to kick to unle...

between plugger and bono, we generally have a good idea of any team changes during the week. There have been a few times when they were off the mark, but track record says to believe more often than not. Plugger in particular offers his own thoughts on quite a few things. Beyond some trivial team ch...

Gwilt is contracted to the end of 2008, for all those calling to Axe him.

Develop him as a marking forward! He is still not a defenders arsehole.

When is the scorps B&F? If there is an event for it, i wouldn't mind going down there. Beyond that It will be great to see how our young sainters do. Stefan Garrubba would have to be hot favourite for it though.

That's amazing. Perhaps our two best performing Rookies were the last two selected.

I don't think that we'll cripple ourselves too much by choosing not to pick Wing/Medium Defenders, or CHF/CHB's. Beyond that it's best available player. I like the idea of developing some quick mids through the rookie system though.

As for Jones, most people seem to be sold on him already, so i'm preaching to the choir. According to finalsiren.com stats on "rising stars", To be eligible players must have played in no more than 50 games before the start of the selected season and must have played in at least 5 games ov...

All I know was what I was told earlier in the year. That Armo was getting a bit ahead of himself and that the club was holding him back until he understood what it took to be an AFL footballer. That sounds about right to me, as to what was being said earlier in the year. Perhaps he was getting caug...

I have a question: Spinner asked a question above - which no one has really talked about. Spinner said "When as the last time the team finishing Last wont recieve the number 1 pick?" What's up with this? I've not heard anything about it. How is the No.1 draft pick being allocated this yea...

I think the most important thing in the off-season is to get a full pre-season into as many players as possible. Look at the players with interrupted pre-seasons and how they performed. R Clarke X Clarke Gardiner Watts Hamill Hayes Maguire And look at the players who were at every session and impres...

Is Geary a true midfielder? Eddy is, but i'm not sold on Geary yet, he has been playing behind the ball for the Scorpions in a lot of his better games.

That's a pathetic way of thinking about it.

If we lose, we are crap
If we win, we are crap, but not as crap as the opposition.

Alright. Fit for last 2 years agreed. How many games under 2 different coaches. 3. Are both coaches wrong? Retirement of Gehrig, and Kosi playing more in the Ruck than forward must have something to do with his selection in 2008. Surely with all of the retirements and delistings this year, to drop ...

I wouldn't want him. Unless we didn't have to give up much for him.

Is basically Rix who is slightly better around the ground.

If he is 24-25 then we should have a punt, 3rd round pick + a player at best though.

Seriously though, see what we need in our team in 3 years time. No draft pick should be expected to come up in their first or second years. So let's look at our team in 2011 (or at the end of 2010) and where it would be deficient. Let's call 31 at the end of a season "retirement age", if w...

If only we could do a carlton and play the strategy of: Flood, put numbers behind the ball and take up all the low picks.

Nope, preseason games don't count towards suspension, and if you get done in the preseason you miss AFL games.

Lacks composure under pressure, hopefully the more games he gets into him, the more confidence he gets and can shrug this tag.

We only need to delist as many players as we want to draft. Here is what I would do as a minimum. Jones -> Don't retain Harvey -> Vet. list Hudgton -> Vet. List Geary/Eddy -> Promote one of. (Saves salary cap by being able to cut Max and Harvs' contribution to the cap by half) Attard -> Promote + pu...

If Gardiner and Goddard are both playing round 1, i'll be very impressed.
