Finished the drafting for Saints now... Overall I am pretty happy with my drafting. Of course, like everyone else will likely do, I can find some flaws in my strategy. Still, I have kept to my brief, with five of my seven player being over 190cm. I have drafted one mature-aged ruckman who still has ...

Will be very very interesting to see who is appointed into this role... Clearly a very senior role, whilst also being a very new exciting role (something often used to lure big names). So I would doubt they will appoint a relative nobody... Paul Roos anybody??? Running his own academy up in Sydney ...

I don't know anything about him, but I would be concerned if Pyke is getting games in front of him… Has anyone seen him play? Good size. good size? 201cm and 96kg sounds like a beanpole to me? Not really... Not all rucks are 200cm/100kgs... Currie's measurements are pretty similar to King and McE...

Could be insurance if McEvoy goes down. But would think Stanley is next in line. If Ben is sidelined, then Kosi would prob ruck and Stanley come into the forward line IMO. Or Watters could have his eye on a WAFL ruckman. Any of our WA Saints fans like the look of any running around? Pelchan could h...

Currie is actually pretty decent, although funny enough, up until he was delisted he held the record of all current players to be the longest on a list without a debut – 5 years! He spent his first few seasons injured and last year in the pre-season Longmire kept saying he wanted to play him as th...

Where did Elton slip too? I would of thought he'd go top 15 or so in the ND. He's similar to Drew Petrie and exactly what we need, a ruck/forward. This would be ideal IMO: #25 - Todd Elton (ruck/forward) #35 - Devin Smith (small forward/quick mid) #37 - Shane Nelson (quick mid) #42 - Josh Waldhuter...

Good assessment Plugger, thanks. From what I've heard, although you would probably know more, Sumner will likely be heading to GWS with one of their first 14 picks. Woodward sounds like a good leader and very determined to learn and get better. The downside on him is his pace and ball-skills. Still,...

Clay Smith's attack on the footy is similar to Waldhuter, Snoop Dog likens him to Selwood/Ball. Watters has mentioned both Kyal Horsley and Jason Salecic - but then I guess they would be looking everywhere...... :shock: I agree unless an outstanding young ruck is available at their DP, they might l...

You obviously dont believe we need another ruckman. Or were they all gone? Or are you going to use round 5 or 6 on same? As I said above, there were two rucks I had my eyes on - Bolger and Downie. I really didn't want to use my first pick on a ruck though and Bolger didn't slip as hoped (but not th...

Waldhunter would be great! His attack on the footy is simply ridiculous!! For those who haven't seen him play, check out this footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2yERpzuUhI And can't imagine Haynes or Talia lasting to our 2nd round picks (Talia is more of the chance than Haynes though). In fact...

It's funny how we are the club everyone is bagging for our mismanagement of the cap, but the Pies are in the same boat but it isn't reported. My mate has a nephew at the pies who got dumped onto the rookie list to make room and they told him they needed to find heaps of room to keep everyone even w...

No to Haynes...name is to similar to Nick Heyne,therefore he is no good Haha, yeah, wouldn't want to read out the wrong number... oops. Saintsfreak, I reckon Manson will go to either WCE or Freo. The talent is obvious, but I just can't see an interstate team pouncing on him, especially that early. ...

Do you reckon Grigg will slip to us? He could. In fact, I reckon Grigg will be one of the most interesting stories of this draft. As is the case in this phantom draft, Grigg was selected by Richmond - something that is certainly not unlikely in the real thing. He seems to be a player rated by some,...

he was also gone by my first pick, which was a bit of a surprise. Not how I'd actually expect the draft to unfold TBH. I rate Tomlinson as my first choice at #25, and whilst plenty of phantom drafts have him much higher (often going to GWS or Brisbane), I get the suspicion (and inside word) that he ...

FT phantom draft
Hey all, for interest's sake, I'm participating in a phantom draft on Footy Tragic and am drafting for St.Kilda. I have found there have been several pretty decent sliders so far, which has been interesting. Obviously, we are not dealing with club recruiters here, so presumably some players will be ...

Thought I'd have a look at where we ACTUALLY have picks in the draft this year. Whilst some people are talking about us having some very late picks, they actually move significantly earlier when you take out the picks of clubs who are only drafting 2-3 players, and those upgrading rookies. So once a...

So if October 31 is the first list lodgement date does that mean that all contract negotiations have to be finalised (Ray, Dawaon etc) by tomorrow or they go into the draft, or can they continue to negotiate after tomorrow? i think??? they can coninue negotiations until nov 11 which is 2nd list lod...

I think it will be a very interesting draft from a Saints perspective... Will we go a tall with our first pick, or a midfielder? Clearly, with the cleanout of talls from our list this week, a tall forward may be the way to go, however there are very few deserving enough of our first pick. Jackson Pa...
