Any takers??? Unrestricted free agent, looks like the Hawks have moved past him.
Goes against our overall draft strategy, but would he serve a purpose for a couple of years, "protecting" the younger mids like Lenny had been doing?? If we go by this years work, he wouldn't be taking a spot from a youngster.
Considering we missed Steven and Armo for large chunks of 2014, I'm concerned if that happens again next season.
Seems like he would be a decent role model for the younger guys.
Brad Sewell???

Re: Brad Sewell???

Re: Brad Sewell???
Remember this age ladder:
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/p ... 08cis.html
Of all 18 clubs in the AFL - we need another 30+ player like a hole in the head.
Basically he could end up anywhere but the Saints.

Re: Brad Sewell???
Well we just had Lenny retire so why have Sewell. He probably wouldn't want to come to St Kilda anyway. I know if I was in his position I wouldn't
Posting 20 years of holey crap!

Re: Brad Sewell???
I don't know about anyone else, but (at the moment) I do NOT want to see any more recruitment "gems like Polo, Fiora, Gardiner (Charlie), et al. The club have chosen to take a bold and somewhat daring direction in opting for youth. I say let's see it through!

I agree although I wouldn't overstate our innovativeness. Bulldogs, Brisbane, even Melbourne and GWS, GC have by and large gone for youth.thejiggingsaint wrote:I don't know about anyone else, but (at the moment) I do NOT want to see any more recruitment "gems like Polo, Fiora, Gardiner (Charlie), et al.

Re: Brad Sewell???
top player could be great for a challenging team... not for us at this stage... unless we plan on a Hawk style rebuild.

I'm sure that before TOO long the footy world will be saying similar things about some of our kids!

Re: Brad Sewell???
Just not quite what we're after as we rebuild.
In about two years' time, sure. It'd be like taking Stephan Powell.
But it's not 2003; we're now about the end of 2001.
