Elijah Tsatas

I’d have preferred a high risk, high reward for a lower cost

That’s called a free lunch!

Hmmm… the risk doesn’t justify the cost is I guess what I’m getting at.

If I’m giving up a first… I want to make sure I’m getting something for it.

Josh Gibson and Shaun Burgoyne went to Hawthron for a first round pick and a little bit more.

A big thank you to that big fat turd Dodoro for overlooking Phillipou in favour of Tsatas.

Didn’t Pou say something like “I hope Elija turns out to be a good player” to the Essendon recruitment team on draft night?

I’m sure that was reported somewhere, if true it’s gold.

I’ve personally never seen Tsatas play, but the recruiter I know rated him top 5 in his draft year and said he had very good disposal and running capacity.

Interesting that Cal Towmey had him at #5 and AFL at #8 in their mock drafts. Not bad for a kid who can’t kick.

I wonder what has gone wrong with Tsatas and Hobbs who were both highly rated juniors.

Same blokes that rated Billing’s 3.

You didn’t rate Billings at #3?
Who would you have taken?

I didn't mind Billings was huge on Cripps and Kolo though.

How did you rate Bont?

I liked him but at the time really didn’t have much info other than he was related to Dal Santo and he came with a late rush. Kicking wasn’t as elite as Kolo and didn’t win the ball like Cripps.

Who did you rate higher out of Bont and Billings?

Billings

Is it fair to say you didn't rate Bont at all for at least his first three seasons, and still had Billings in front of Bont as the better player?

[B.M]

Ironically

It was Billings vs the Dogs (Bont) early in their career

When it was Billings who kicked 4 in the last quarter to win a game vs Dogs - coming back from 7 goals down!

Armo had 45 that night

I had concerns with Billing’s when he started going to ground regularly in senior footy. Very early on there were alarm bells.

5 of the first 19 draft picks in the 2013 draft ended up at St Kilda. Only 1 is still at the Saints.

Bombers mate of mine reckons he can’t kick, not good disposal

I think it was Mick McGuane in his newspaper column recently that also said Tsatas can't kick.

We need to steer clear of players with poor kicking skills, turnover merchants are a no no.
