pre season draft
If St Kilda decide to enter the pre seqason draft, who do you think we need from the players we know that are available?

Well we have lost 5 to retirement, lost 4 to delisting and brought 4 in through trading aswell as promoting 2.
So we only have enough room for 3 more players, they will all be taken in the draft. Unfortunately I wouldn't have minded picking up someone like Mark Johnson, Guy Richards or Perrie for depth...

I would not be happy if Charlie were to get a game, IMO he is a dud... but who knows, he could turn it around and become a reliable player...Barney2 wrote:yeah, perry would be handy, but then again, we got charlie Gardiner as a forward

I agree, I actually have more respect for the cats now by the way they handled that deal, from what I understand they told the two players that they would not get a game next year and instead of delisting them let them choose what club they wanted to go to and they chose us. I don't quite understand why your friend would be upset about losing Gardiner, he's done nothing to prove he can cut it at AFL level...jill wrote:Geelong fan friend feels Cats did right by SK to let him continue his career, but VERY dark that Charlie has not only been let go but was part of same deal!
Having said that though he will be a handy pick up for Casey.

That's a nice way to look at it, but there are probably even more cases where the players have fallen into obscurity and been completely forgotten about ala J.RawlingsRoseInOz wrote:From my observations in the past, and I am a grandmother, players who change teams often improve out of sight. (examples, Guerra, Fiora, Hall, Attard). Maybe our new players just need a change of club to bring out the best in them.

And being a grandmother, you will remember the Timmy Watson days, when a whole host of players from other clubs came to the Saints, and the best we saw of them was their backs walking out the gate.RoseInOz wrote:From my observations in the past, and I am a grandmother, players who change teams often improve out of sight.

Thoughts on Torney.
1/ Yes is capable player...but at 187cm we would seem to have ample choices to play his role in Defence....including the newly acquired Dempster.
2/ Do we have 3 vancancies now? We have picks 9, 42 and 58.....but the draft is said to be very week after pick 20. So the question for the recruiting guys is what will be on offer at 58????
3/ I think the club will wait and see. If there is a player they rate then they will go for a kid. If not the club may go either for an AFL delisted player that nominates for the draft or a player in the PSD
4/ so back on Torney...he is 30....could play in 2008..maybe 2009..but in a role we have many for. I would suspect Ross would prefer another mid, hf....or FB .

We may be able to pick up 5 players dependant on TPP(Total Player Payments).Armoooo wrote:Well we have lost 5 to retirement, lost 4 to delisting and brought 4 in through trading aswell as promoting 2.

Last year we had 38 players which included our 2 veterans on the Main List. If our TPP allows, we may be able to have our Veterans outside the main list and have 38 players plus 2 veterans however this will only allow 4 rookies instead of 6.
Refer page 66 of CBA http://www.aflpa.com.au/media/CBA%20200 ... bFINAL.pdf
On Ian Perrie, would need to add an extra wing to the medical room to accomodate him. He was not even getting a game for the Crowbots and their forward line could only be described as disfunctional. I also heard he refused to play with North Adelaide later in the season. I would look at Jason Torney ahead of Perrie. Poorly treated by the crowbots IMO.

You must have a minimum of 3 picks in the National Draft so pick 58 must be used. The club can not pass on this selection.saintsRrising wrote: what will be on offer at 58????

They are already on the veterans list.sax wrote:I'm pretty sure you'll find we have 5 picks.
Banger & Max will be added to the veterans list!!
We can either go with 38 which includes 2 veterans & 6 rookies(2007 structure due to TPP) or 38 + 2 veterans and 4 rookies.
