Not bad, lots of options- most considered here already but still we have good options even with limited picks..
ST KILDA
Draft picks (as of October 21): 9, 62, 66, 67
The list needs they must address: Another club that’ll benefit from a midfield-heavy draft. While St Kilda was slightly better than mid-table for clearance differential this season, it was ranked last for clearance efficiency. The Saints are well stocked for rounded on-ballers, but they’re missing one with flair and class – a player that not only bursts away from stoppages, but also has polish. And following the departures of Jake Carlisle, Oscar Clavarino, James Frawley and Dylan Roberton, the Saints need a key defender, especially after conceding the second-most goals to key forwards in 2021.
The ideal draft prospects: What the Saints do with their first pick will be fascinating. If Josh Gibcus – the Jake Lever of this year’s draft as the quintessential modern-day defender at 195cm – is still on the board, he’d be hard to ignore. Otherwise, they’ll be looking for a classy on-baller, with Tyler Sonsie – a midfielder with a high footy IQ, strength at the contest and polish on the outside – sure to be in the mix. Subiaco’s Neil Erasmus, South Adelaide’s Arlo Draper and Murray’s Josh Rachele would bring great spark and an ability to push forward, while first-round bolter Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is the definition of outside class but more of a wingman than midfielder. The Saints will ideally keep their first-round pick then be able to match bids outside the top 20 on two Next Generation Academy prospects in powerful on-baller Marcus Windhager and running midfielder Mitchito Owens.
