Give him number 14

Haha, hope we took him on talent rather than name...

Regardless

Good luck young man!

For some reason I dont think Ross would settle for that kind of shyte eh...

BallBanger · Post: # 861561Post **BallBanger** » Thu 26 Nov 2009 7:17pm

I hope we picked him because he was next best not because he may not be around 30 picks on
Remembering he was not in the starting 18 in wa's under 18 side

I do however love the name

Ok I dont mean completely for name.

But say we wanted him at 60, didnt rate him at 32 but didnt think he'd last to 60 and took him at 32 cos of his name,

I dont think thats gonna make sense, but I think you know what I mean?

Draft profile with strengths and weaknesses
- .

He is worth a late 2nd round to mid 3rd round pick IMO (but seems like he is rated as a later prospect?).

N Winmar

It's 1997 all over again.

Is there an A Jones?

I presume he started on the bench then. I won't hold it against him

no pressure on the kid

Sainterman · Post: # 861777Post **Sainterman** » Thu 26 Nov 2009 8:36pm

Looks like he has pretty good disposal and is one we can groom off a half back flank. And gee, it is a nice feeling have a Nicky Winmar back on the list...if he turns out half as good he will be a gun!

Won't be getting near that number 7 for a few years though...

Welcome aboard son!

Thank heavens for the "Second Cousin Rule"

Just thinking he is the cuz of cuz...

Teflon · Post: # 861893Post **Teflon** » Thu 26 Nov 2009 9:56pm

Looks plenty to work with.

I note the write up lists his weakness as engine/work rate - both things IMHO that CAN be improved at an AFL club if the attitude is right.

What I like most is his ball use by foot and hand is excellent - IMHO its harder to improve a shyte kick than someone who needs to learn endurance and Im glad we look to have taken the skills route over the "athlete" approach.

can't wait to hear the name winmar in the commentary again.

Hurricane · Post: # 862203Post **Hurricane** » Fri 27 Nov 2009 10:23am

Read on the HS website that he placed second in the kicking test at teh draft camp so obviously no slouch. It will be awesome seeing another Winmar bursting the lines in a Saints jumper

BANG BANG

borderbarry · Fri 27 Nov 2009 10:27am

Instead of 7, should we give him 14 or 17?

AnythingsPossibleSaints · Fri 27 Nov 2009 11:03am

We'll have plenty to work with, as he has speed, is strong overhead and looks to be a brilliant kick. I think it's pretty safe to say he won't be playing any time soon though, if this year is any indication (unless we have lots of injuries/suspensions or the like). May be a couple of years away with a body like that.

Welcome to the club, very interested to see him play

Megamaguire · Fri 27 Nov 2009 11:28am

Welcome to the Saints Nic.
Take it one step at a time and be confident that the club will support you in your transition to the big time. I was very saddened to see Nicky 'Elvis' retire but inspired to once again see the Winmar name at St. Kilda.

GOD LUCK.

G O S A I N T S !

TriColourDisciple · Fri 27 Nov 2009 1:12pm

Wouldn't be pronounced WINMAAAAAAAR ?

WINMARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

WINMARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Great to have the Winmar name back
