c/- the Herald Sun mock draft - it would be a dream start for the Saints ! A kid who is a self confessed mad Saints fan (perfect replacement for Fisher) and the other being the single most talented player in the draft who the Saints think they can turn around off field!
Go Saints ....

24 St Kilda, Tom Clurey, Murray Bushrangers, 193cm
25 St Kilda, Dayle Garlett, Swan Districts (WA), 180cm


SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

From Winnersonly original posting.. "There may be an NT kid we are interested in late but I don’t know enough about their talent to comment."

Most of the good N.T. boys were traded away by GWS. Jed Anderson to Hawthorn, Dom Barry & Jake Neade to another clubs.

Heard on the wireless this morning that we'll be picking up Sam Lonegan. Anyone know if there's any merit in that?

I think there's a fair chance we will. He's v inside and can get it but faced, ultimately, too much criticism at Essendon about what he did with it once he got it.

i heard that too, he's a decent player but too injury prone. Would rather a tall mature ager but I guess a need for back up with out Gram and Goddard.

Every player mentioned you see a reason to get them. Can you tell us how you would use the 5 picks. No names needed just whether we get unknown 18 year olds or recycled players. If we get Lonergan i will spew up.

I don't want him but Sheehan said the Saints were showing a lot of interest in him, I'm just trying to explain their rationale. I want one recycled player- a mature fullback and the rest 18 yo kids like Colquhoun, Garlett, Ashby, Tanner Smith, Membrey, Clurey anyone good. i want someone like the big Tassie guy or the big SA guy I found Hardy? or Tipetts brother. Just someone that stops us being exposed at full back or CHB. I am how ever happy with all of Lee, Hickey and TDL and think they will all go ok or better and have just as much if not more promise than plenty of the kids in the draft.

I agree with plugger. If we choose Sam Lonergan, I'll spew up as well. Surely they mean Jesse, don't they?

I thought the conversation was about Jesse & they mentioned Sam as he's Jesse's uncle.

If he's from WA then I have complete faith in what Waters is doing.
