08' Draftee Media

[Saints Media]

St Kilda's Draft Class of 2008 had their first taste of the media spotlight with press conferences and photo opportunities at Linen House Oval today.

Tom Lynch, Rhys Stanley, Nick Heyne, Alistair Smith, Paul Cahill and Colm Begley were in attendance and you will be able to read more about it in the papers and online throughout the coming days (and view the video at Saints Central later today).

Also keep your eyes out for a photo of the boys in their St Kilda gear alongside Nick Riewoldt who is decked out in the new clash strip!

Are we going to get any truth out of these guys when they speak to the media?

Thanks Saint Media.

I'll watch with interest and will no doubt continue to be amazed at how the majority of these 17 and 18 year old "boys" can front media conferences/interviews and speak without the slightest hesitation.

Will also be interesting to see if any of the Saints boys have any standout features (apart from red hair!! ) to rival the tattoos belonging to one of Collingwood's new recruits who was shown on the news last night.

Like what? I wish the pies got me or I hate the Saints. It is their first time pretty much under the spotlight. Give them a go.

I have to say I don't mind the new strip at all. It's a huge improvement on what we were using previously, that's for sure.
I'd like to see the back though.

Why insult our intelligence by coming on here bragging about how these guys are going to be interviewed and expect us to get all excited - when we all know they will be trained by the club to reveal nothing whatsoever, and speak bullshiit and/or boring cliches throughout the entire interview.

Then put your hands out for our membership dollars.

[Armoooo]

I must say I like the clash more than I thought I would... might just look good on roo though :P

We recruited some big boys didn't we, Smith looks like he is more than ready to play senior footy, with his size and endurance there must be atleast one fatal flaw to his game that saw him drop down so late.,..

Well Wodger, you're a negative delusional f wit fair dinkum. Why pretend you're a Saints fan when you obviously hate it so much.

As others have said, wtf do you expect them to say? This is just a first step in getting to know them and good on the club for wheeling them out for us to have a look at.

And as for memebrship dollars, if you begrudge it so much don't buy. Simple.

Cynical at first, but he has a point.

I think it relates more to players as whole rather than new draftees.

The club belts the personality out of the players and then expects us to get excited about boring, mind-numbing uploads asking the same, crappy PR-driven questions.

Yep, then when the club says and does nothing, it's treating members with contempt.

We want the club to be open, real and honest.

Is it really that hard?
