21 inside 50s

3 goals

1 goal lead even though we dominated

Same old story- we allow teams to stay in the game even with good field position

Who thinks Bonner is a good player?!

He’s a D Grade HB

Pick 4 and 5

Lalor, Langford, Smith, Draper etc…

Two would be perfect

It’s a pity we don’t have another pick in the 20s


Deep draft

I’m just stating facts Personally, I would take being an AA under 18, 166 AFL games, averaging 20ppg, 30 Brownlow votes and a top 5 Best and fairest as a footy career There are a lot of players who don’t reach that level of output! Saints supporters don’t like to admit he was decent because we gave ...

The thread is about bizarre selections

Not just the team vs WC

Although I do agree, I’m special and always wanted to have my own thread - because it is so damn important

Yes

I’m comparing Brad Hill to Lenny Hayes - the player

Obviously

I find it absolutely bizarre? Z.Jones still in - madness T.Membrey still in - 4 possessions Owens still in - 4 possessions Darcy Wilson still in 11 possessions (averaging 12 in last 5 games) It’s mind boggling, Dropped Schoenmaker, Paton (sub) Brought in Garcia who didn’t play last week (should have...

It’s embarrassing that a grown man - calls himself a fanboy

You’re not a teenager

If my auntie had balls she’d be my uncle McCartin was not as good a junior as Petracca Was never going to be as good a senior, regardless of injury He was fat, slow, dropped marks, was a poor set shot No injury - he’d have been a good ordinary player Not fking Tony Lockett And we took him number 1 f...

He’ll be 32 next season

He’s spent half this season in the VFL

He luckily choose elsewhere in 2018, he can stay elsewhere

It is very simple

You just take the best player

When you get cute and try to address needs, you end up with the 2014 debacle!

Paddy McCartin was Nick Reiwoldt’s replacement- yeah right!

It’s funny how short some memories are

He was roundly criticised in his first two seasons

Now he’s heart and soul?

He’s a good outside runner

Lenny Hayes he ain’t

Are you going to get an 18yo big powerful AFL size mid.

There are many options available at our pick

May is a monster

He is 100kg

Similar to Sam Collins at GC

Because when you lay the blame at the player for underperforming

You are suggesting he did not give 100% in some regard

Which I know to be bulls***

Max has had a couple of injuries yeah?!

His last two full seasons as a 20-21yo he kicked 90 goals with low accuracy and averaged 2.5 contested marks per game (elite)

Disappointed fans because a guy didn’t turn out to be a superstar.

Was that his fault, are we accusing him of not trying?

I’ll say it again

You don’t draft for need with earlier draft picks especially, but draft picks in general

They are 18 - and have a 10-15 year career hopefully

They don’t agreed need for years, and who knows what our need will be in 2028-2036

You just take the best player!

Comparison was more about their waning output

Membrey and Ross are not the players they were

Nor is Billings

At his best, Billings played excellent AFL footy

Check out his best seasons!

Sam Lalor
Jagga Smith

Hotton had his best game for Sandy on the weekend

And kicked 5 a few weeks ago

Garcia has earned a call up - he’s been excellent in the seconds

Ross has been BOG in the last two games at Sandy

Allison has now kicked 5 twice at Sandy

Never gift games - it doesn’t help develop players

Wilson needs a spell

Was a good AFL player - like Membrey or Seb

He has played 166 AFL games you know

His back injury has curtailed his career
