Watts the Rookie
is Watts old enough to be redrafted as a rookie, or do we take him with a low pick assuming no one else pciks him up?
I have heard though his ankle will never be the same again. Anyone can shed light on all of this?

Dunno aboout the rookie thing but why would we redraft him when we delisted him?

not saying that he deserved to get delisted, but the odds are very very very small the club would delist someone (when they didn't have to) only to redraft them a month later makes absolutely no sense at all.
we've done it 3 times I can remember, fergason, callaghan and someone in the 90s, nixon?
I love ya roger but I reckon watts and mini weren't given a crack and brooks should have played seniors this year, but its all water under the bridge now.

Agree, but there gone and the likely hood of them returning is pretty slim.
wasn't frankie, I'll look it up, but I think it was in the early 90s, i think it was stephen newport but Im not sure.GrumpyOne wrote:Frankie Peckett from memory.Dan Warna wrote:we've done it 3 times I can remember, fergason, callaghan and someone in the 90s, nixon?
edit confirmed in 1990 we traded pick 6 in the national draft for stephen newport, we then drafted him again in 1992 after delisting him.

edit: wiki confirmation :
Picked up by the Saints as an impressive 16-year-old, in 1990 Peckett won the St Kilda under 19's best and fairest and remained on the list for the 1991 season, before he was delisted at the end of the year.
He was picked up in the 1992 Pre-season draft at pick #49 to resurrect his career, and debuted late that season (receiving limited game time in his only game for that year). He was selected as a utility player who could play a number of roles, particularly as a small midfielder or a small half back player. He finished 2nd in the Trevor Barker Medal in 1994 and third in 1997.

I really hope Watts lasts until our pick in the PSD, he might just be the injection of youth and strong marking power that we need in the forward line
If we had had Watts on our list in 2006-07 we would have gone pretty close to playing off in a Grand Final, I reckon
