Max King. Didn't our stupid club learn anything from the McCartin experience.? FFS, we need elite MIDFIELDERS . James Gallagher and Libba should be removed from their positions if they do this.
NeXus Nick is back but where is Joffaboy????

If they don't select Max King at 4 if he is available they should be removed from their positions!
ST KILDA concedes it didn't know the full extent of prized recruit Dan Hannebery's struggles with his body when it traded for him.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
Well, Paddy has provided no forward presence at all, and seems to get injured quite a bit- in effect we have been down a big forward for a couple of seasons. So yes we need classy midfielders, but also a big forward.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
Yeah, I would have thought that the whole premise of the OP is quite ironic.
We shouldn't recruit a good one because the one we thought was good is no good.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
I agree that I would prefer an elite outside mid or someone with genuine pace but with Walsh going at 1 (most likely) and Rankin gone at 3 it doesn't leave a lot of "Elite" potential.
always like this rating report
http://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/2 ... ins-top-10
Smith is an inside mid who will play off half back which we don't need. Plus I think others will go past him if they adopt his work effort. Great player and kid from all accounts but not what we need
Caldwell is anotehr inside mid with Hammy concerns. Want to risk another Freeman?
Rozee rated at 13 now
Bottom line is we take the best player available which will most likely be King and get outside mids with our next picks.
Then suck it up for a year, say bye to Richo and start afresh in 2020 hopefully after securing a great player with our pick 1-3 from 2019

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
I've warmed to the idea as I don't think that Bruce is elite nor ever will be. McCartin still has time on his side and if we get any luck, he'll become a genuine gun full forward. If King lives up to the hype then a forward line consisting of Paddy, King, Battle, and Membrey could be a tasty forward line for many years.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
What is really faarked is that we don't know what the CEO and footy boss are thinking.
Are we in full rebuild mode or are we still trying to delude ourselves that with the addition of 2-3 new players we are going to catapult ourselves into finals?
If we bite the bullet and do a full rebuild, then best option imo is Max King if he's available.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
Im with you. Add Gresh, Long, Lonie and Marshall to the mix and it has the potential to be is a really formidable forward line.outside66 wrote: ↑Tue 20 Nov 2018 10:25am I've warmed to the idea as I don't think that Bruce is elite nor ever will be.

Yes we need mids BUT if we get our book ends right Quality mids will look at it and think" I could slot right in there and look who I get to kick it too" . Our defence is already ok. I think with Steele, Hanners and Gresh in the middle more next year it takes some pressure of Ross and Steven. Im expecting Steele become a B+ to A-
player next year. to Im really liking what im seeing Hanners bring to the table already. If he can get his body right, we've done ourselves a huge favour.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
James Gallagher was on the AFL podcast a few weeks ago and was asked directly that - are we rebuilding - where he backed our list and pointed out missing personnel, lack of experience, and a lack of pace around the ground etc had hurt us this year. He went on to say that midfield class had been identified with Hannaz set to be a huge help in addition to Kent providing more speed around the ground. I'm paraphrasing abit as I listened to it a while ago but that was the main gist.

What make you think he won't be a gun? he was the likely no 1 pick before injury. Remember he hasn't played at all this year and hes still a top 5 certainty.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
In my experience with this particular poster... whose signature indicates he’s posted under several notorious nicks in the past... he/she is obsessed with the idea that you should take every good player you have and trade them for draft picks mids... then if any of the recruits start to get good, trade them for more draft picks for more mids.Viscount Jeremiah wrote: ↑Tue 20 Nov 2018 1:13pmCalm down.ListManager wrote: ↑Tue 20 Nov 2018 8:32am Max King.

Anything that’s not recruiting a mid and trading players for draft picks is unsatisfactory in his eyes

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
It would be great for McCartin if the Saints recruited King. He would need to extract the digit. It also gives the Saints the opportunity to trade him to the Cats for a midfielder next year.

More insight from the List Manager.
Probably rated Richie Tambling.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
Personally, I can't believe we're going to pick up another coloured ink cartridge when we clearly need MORE BLACK INK. What's the point in getting more flashy colours when the body of our documents look so dull and lifeless? Nobody has ever won anything important with a fancy header. If we replace the coloured ink before the black ink, Stevo and Shaz in admin should be sacked. We're the fair dinkum laughing stock of all the laboured analogies.
Yeah nah pleasing positive

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
Like I said back in 2014, I would not risk pick 1 on a diabetic. If I was using pick 40 and above then it's a different story. I would probably risk it.Viscount Jeremiah wrote: ↑Tue 20 Nov 2018 1:13pmCalm down.ListManager wrote: ↑Tue 20 Nov 2018 8:32am Max King.

Now it's 2018 and I am saying I would not risk pick 4 on someone that has already had a knee reconstruction. If we could get him with a pick in the 30's I would risk it but not pick 4.

Re: I cannot believe we are going to recruit.....
I want Rankine. It seems he will be gone by pick 4. There appears to be some massive hype around King by many good judges so I don’t mind if we get him. I can’t see how he could do anything good in the AFL for three years however given his injury, light frame and position/opponents. But at 204 cm you only have to look at Mason Cox (211cm?) to see how dominant he could eventually be.
