Dug problem, alcohol problem, gambling problem, all self inflicted. I have sympathy for his family though. I don't believe for one minute that he didn't bet on football. You can believe what you like, As I said, I have no love for the guy. Absolute thug who did the wrong thing by the Saints. Harsh,...

The player on the right of that picture is Jack Hiscox (Sydney academy). He is a 184cm midfielder.

Nakia is a top 20 pick and always has been. Just got forgotten as he hadn't played.

You seem pretty strong on this - any reason?

This is why....

As talented as he is, he is just to small in an era when the average midfielder height is 20cm taller.

OK...just don't say you weren't warned when he isn't picked on November 26.

Won't be drafted in the National Draft and is only 50/50 to be rookie listed.

It is possible that Roo himself was not happy about the approach made by Ed.

Bingo and bingo.

He's a Saint through and through.

Viv Michie did work experience at St Kilda when he was in high school.

Well get your board to go and do it...of course the surface has been a joke...and try and remember that St Kilda listed players are actually playing on it....so if you consider that to be a waste of money then you are more than entitled to that opinion...no matter how stupid it appears.....in case ...

Seems there is a bit more to the resurfacing story than meets the eye...

Chaplin isnt a monster. Is timid and soft in one on one contests.

Ever seen a more pitiful effort in the ruck that McEvoy's so far?

Pittman-esque

Makes Jolly look like Polly Farmer every time.

Campbell is a Bulldogs rookie. Was elevated a fortnight ago.

He was good tonight. You blokes need to take the blinkers off and stop buying into the stereotype.

If we had a few more like him tonight, we win. Simple as that.

Breeny was in Paris last week.

The wool!

Lever projects best as a CHB. He has really struggled when playing ruck.

Whilst the club thinks he may develop into a fwd/ruck, I'm not sold at all. More than happy for him to play in defence though and use his foot skills.

He is a CHB not a ruckman. Quick, very good skills and ball user, smart player, agile and good with the ball on the deck.

Great pick.

Spot on! Have never quite figured out how a player, a really ordinary one at that, who has so many 'red flags' off-field, could remain in the system and get chance after chance.

Already have Leo. I gave some quality advise! ;) Appreciate that its a great topic of conversation, especially over the coming weeks, but just thought that WO should have at least credited the person that went to the trouble of writing all the reviews, even if they were filled with some inaccuracies...

Time will tell how bad the draft is - if you are such an expert how about you come up with something. It is just an exercise I enjoy for a bit of fun -a bit like trying to pick the Cup Winner! As Saintersss said, maybe you should actually acknowledge that you just copied/pasted these write ups it o...

greatest draft in the history of afl. will never see it's like agqin.

Are you serious. Worst draft in the past 10 years. The player comparisions listed above are so far off the mark it's not funny.

Good copy/pasting WO!
