ST KILDA lost its full-back Zac Dawson to the west only to find a potential replacement across the Nullarbor when it recruited former West Coast key position player Beau Wilkes last night.

But he won't though. Any forward line with Roo, Kosi, Milne, Schneider et al will never get decent supply ever.
Values the opportunity and confident he will put everything into it.
Knows where he is at and will be a great team player.
Awesome replacement for Dawson who will not need as much protection.
Good choice.

I understand the selection but u do wonder if this guy was so good why was he cut by Eagles? What's he play like anyone know?

all i know that the eagles had a number of defenders, including Glass, and he was behind all of them.

Kicked plenty of goals at the business end of this season for Claremont in a premiership year. Looks like Simon McPhee would have had a lot to do with this selection.
EDIT: Pelchen said this morning on SEN McPhee didn't really have that much to do with the selection (thanks to Ross who? for the run down on that one).
Scott Watters is slowly bringing the rest of Western Australia over with him.

I still remember him from the Eagles. He was probably unlucky with his timing at WCE, they were rebuilding and he was cut. He looked about the equal of Zac Dawson, not outstanding but solid. Good like for like drafting, he would slot straight in to play Zac's role.
He doesnt have to be a superstar, just solid and reliable, after all we're not trying to replace Stephen Silvani at FB, Zac was only an average footballer who tried hard.
Ready made with a big strong body who is a great size. Can play forward too but will most likley line up at full back in round 1.
From what I have read he played some good footy for West Coast but was at the back of the line in terms of defenders and was unlucky with injuries at the wrong time.
Best of luck to him

Seems like a good pick-up at No. 68. Ready-made to fill a known gap at fullback. Mature at 25, good size and clearly a handy player. As others have said, Glass and Lynch kept him out of W/Coast.

Can also play forward, which is a bonus.
Well I guess they had Waters and Glass who were locks when fit. Assuming he had a decent injury free year this year, where does it leave head? Does Wilkes get first crack now?

Go those mighty Sainters!!
