We always try to guess and they always seem to call out someone whose name has us all going "who?"

St Kilda are embarrassing.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”


St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

We looked the most under pressure of any club. Does it mean we didn't draft well. No. Does it worry me. Yes.

If pick 75 doesn't make it, we'll know it's because they took too long to draft him.

Pretty sure they took extra time to pick Siposs.


Yeah nah pleasing positive

Nothing wrong with taking time, they're the most critical decisions the club makes… plenty of options, talk it through, makes sense.

Notice nobody picked up Clurey, Garlett, Colquhoun, Wood that many on here were wetting their pants over. Maybe the 18 club selectors must not have thought the same way or were not that well informed...

Based on his highlights Pierce looks bloody good. I saw first use to his mids and great use of his body in the ruck, I saw a strong mark and decent kicking skills forward and even back. One for the future for sure

Apparently it shows you are unorganised. Sydney asked for extra time.

That's because they were struggling to find Kurt Tippet's name on their list :P

17 other clubs seemed to know what they were doing at their selections. Hope you are right. I saw it differently. Hope we got the next Buddy or Judd. I got the impression we were a bit flustered.

Also not sure how to take the fact our coach didn't know who we had drafted when he was interviewed. The fact he couldn't remember who our first pick was, I thought was a bit concerning.

Our first pick was in round 2, we weren't picking blokes to play round 1 2013. We were picking kids with a massive future.
