That is the outcome - and we got the players who have nominated that they wished to play for St Kilda and who we set out to obtain.
End of story.
Given the Draft is being spoken to as "weak", where does that put us with putting players on the Rookie List and, given Sippos picked up 22 Votes in the Sandringham B&F from limited appearances due to injury, would it be a consideration to put him on the Rookie List?
If not, what are the options given the "weak" Draft?
On that. It seems players nominated us even though we are still at Seaford. maybe they didn't nominate us previously because we were looking like a basket case and it wasn't where we trained. Having said that Freeman lives in Dingley and Rice must live somewhere near Dandy. Carlisle is prepared to come from the North though.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
Going by his highlights reel, he reminds me of Gavin Wanganeen. If he's half as good, he'd be worth the punt, especially if others pass on him. Remember Cyril Rioli was overlooked because of concerns over a psych test. I wonder how all the clubs that passed on him feel now. The irony is we chose Ben McEvoy, who's ended up a double premiership player with the dorks. D'Oh!SMS wrote:RIOLI - pick 14
Theres a RIOLI who wants to make it is a GUN just like his family is/was so why not take him?? We NEED SPEED! We NEED SKILL. Why would we let rioli go when it will be the steal of the draft.
Just cause hes rated at 25-30 when hes 17!?
He willbe the best of the draft

I say hang on to pick 14 and hope Rioli is still there at that pick.
He isn't rated top ten at the moment.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
Agreed. I never understood all this weak draft / strong draft stuff. They are 18 year olds playing against other 18 year olds. But we really want to know what they will be like as 22 year olds playing against other men.saynta wrote:After the draft camps, it turns out that the draft isn't as weak as first suggested. Never is either. You need to advance about 3 or 4 years to really give an opinion whether or not it was a weak or strong draft.ace wrote:I am going by Callum Twomey (AFL) Phantom draftripplug66 wrote:ace wrote:WE DON'T HAVE PICK 14
We have pick 14 today but on draft day we have choice 19.
There are 5 academy players who should be called by the clubs going in with the first 13 picks.
If they call one if these academy players then the academy club moves up the order using the points bidding system.
We then slip down the order by one place.
Like I impied this should happen 5 times.
If the 5 don't occur it is only because the calling club knew they would be trumped so did not bother.
WE HAVE CHOICE 19
Yes but the players that are talked about never include the Academy kids so it doesn't matter. We have the 14th pick not including the players that they don't bother mentioning. And I don't think it will be 5 anyway.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-08-20/u ... form-guide
Using his picks expect
Mills called by pick 3 club being trumped by Sydney
Hopper called by pick 4 club being trumped by GWS
Kennedy called by pick 7 club being trumped by GWS
Keays called by pick 10 club being trumped by Brisbane
Hipwood called by pick 11 club being trumped by Brisbane
Now I agree the academy players are unlikely to be called at those pick numbers because other clubs may not bother.
But in a completely open draft and without the fear of the go home factor they would be called.
But you have probably missed the idea behind my post - pick 14 ain't that great.
Our odds of getting a real gun in a weak draft are not that flash.
At pick 5 Twomey would have allocated us Balic.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
I don't buy this rubbish about it being a weak draft. Having been involved in the process for many years, the recruiters and list managers say it every year to cover their asses. After the draft, they're all happy with what they've got, with the typical quote being, "We can't believe we got (insert name) at pick (insert number). As for us getting shafted. How can anyone say that? We got exactly what we wanted and needed and we haven't finished yet. You don't get shafted in any deal when you get what you need.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
Agree with posts above. They say 'weak draft' every year. How can they tell when it is 18yo v 18yos? As Kosi says. I assume it is just an ass covering exercise just in case.
Having said that - Id love it we closed the deal on Weller.
If not we just need to get pick 14 right on a kid and then get our first rounder right next year.

Dees have pretty much nailed this trade period. After having been a rabble for so long, they have certainly got their act into gear the last couple of years off-field.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
Collingwood have 2 second rounders, 26 & 28, 1 third rounder 47 and 1 fourth rounder 63 for a total of 1,834 points.
Worth somewhere between pick 5 & 6.
They can't use any more picks from 2016.
Now watch as Collingwood ream Brisbane.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
On the concerns re the Essendon FC injecting regime, which is still to be formally adjudicated on in the correct jurisdiction, I would trust that the ultimate responsible party is the Essendon FC which embarked on an injection regime to add bulk to the bodies of their contracted players and now says it has no records or knowledge of what was injected including because the records have been shredded by the Essendon Football Club.
It is the CLUB and the administration of the CLUB which is at fault - and it is the CLUB and the administration of the CLUB which should pay the price - by expulsion.
The players, as employees and where, no doubt, peer group pressure came into play (did the CLUB address this culture and this risk?) should not pay the ultimate price - and Watson should keep his Brownlow Medal which would appease his very agitated father who is primarily concerned that the Medal will be revoked (obvious from his media comments noting that, following his abject failure as a Coach, he is now employed in the media at Channel 7).
Armstrong was a different case, albeit his defence was that everyone else was doing it so his team had to do it to remain competitive, and Armstrong was not naive in regards process and development of the culture - and the team he competed for in winning those Tour of France events no longer competes in cycling.
Essendon FC should correctly pay the price.
As Stan Alves says, you do not go to footy practice to be injected - with what precisely?
But that was the regime at the Essendon FC.

Now did anyone notice how our pre draft pick 14 slipped to actual pick 18 as a result of academy picks.
P24 requires StKilda to stump up 785-197 = 588 points to get Bailey Rice
Pick 45 and pick 68 will both slip yielding less points than we expect.
Before the draft they would be worth about 406 points but due to slippage in the draft they may yield closer to 288 points.
Where do those extra 300 points come from.
Not from our first rounder next year, because of the recent AFL rule amendment.
They should come from our 2016 second rounder because we are taking Rice in the second round just.
BUT we have already sold that to Collingwood.
I am not clear but they may come from our 2016 3rd rounder.
We would then be using our 2016 3rd rounder and our 2015 3rd rounder & 4th rounder to get Rice.

I am sure Slater & Gordon would demand a total sum that would bankrupt the Essendon Football CLUB.

He also tested top 10 in goalkicking - god knows we need somone who doesnt aim for the points evey time.Oliver is a unique prospect in this year's draft. The Morrish medallist is a tough and brutal midfielder who enjoys the harder elements of the game. But he also has some flair, enjoying going forward, taking overhead grabs and kicking a goal. In the final round of the home and away season, Oliver, who missed out on Vic Country's final championship squad, gathered 27 disposals and kicked six goals in a dynamic showing. There is plenty of development left in Oliver, who registered a 2.99-second 20-metre sprint time last week and was third overall in his agility run (8.11 seconds).

I raise this because if his phantom were correct this is how the draft would unfold.

Now did anyone notice how our pre draft pick 14 slipped to actual pick 18 as a result of academy picks.
P24 requires StKilda to stump up 785-197 = 588 points to get Bailey Rice
Pick 45 and pick 68 will both slip yielding less points than we expect.
Before the draft they would be worth about 406 points but due to slippage in the draft they may yield closer to 288 points.
Where do those extra 300 points come from.
Not from our first rounder next year, because of the recent AFL rule amendment.
They should come from our 2016 second rounder because we are taking Rice in the second round just.
BUT we have already sold that to Collingwood.
I am not clear but they may come from our 2016 3rd rounder.
We would then be using our 2016 3rd rounder and our 2015 3rd rounder & 4th rounder to get Rice.
This is one of the best posts I've seen on saintsational. Thanks for putting it all together!

If we end up with one of Weller, Bonner, Oliver, Ah Chee I will feel good about trade period.

You are right. I thought we were going to get 44 from the Bombers which would have locked away Rice.
Our best outcome now is getting Weller + 56 from Freo for pick 14. But this seems unlikely.
Next best outcome is Rice slips through to pick 45. This seems quite possible as Carlton might not want to use such a high pick (21) on him.
Should still be safe - but as I have been saying all along - no guarantees on Rice. Not at all straight fwd.

Yes they are doing well with ex-Saints recruiter Jason Taylor at the helm!saintsRrising wrote:Dees have pretty much nailed this trade period. After having been a rabble for so long, they have certainly got their act into gear the last couple of years off-field.
They will have quitea good list after the draft picks are taken

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread
Does anyone know if we are still involved in any trades now? I hope we are endeavouring to get some more picks in the draft and to strengthen our position re Rice.
