The saints first pick they need to target a mid with some speed and decent ball winning ability who can also push forward. The two players I like at pick 24 are Prestia who despite his height shows he loves to win the footy and has good speed recorded in the repeat sprints. I doubt he would be still there at 24.
The other player I have heard the saints will strongly consider if prestia is gone is Josh Green. Described as a attacking mid who can play as a small fwd and has had senior experience in tassie. Would need to add some bulk before getting a game and has good speed with a 2.92 for 20 metre.
If Kieran Harper or Jed Lamb were still around at 24 and the other two above where gone we could be crazy not to grab one of these guys.
Pick 42. I reckon the kid Michie could be what we are looking for. He has excellent foot skills a must at Stkilda and could play in a number of positions which is an assest.
From there on in our picks will prolly be determined by our needs. We really need to try and pick up a third forward, even though we have Lynch we need to be able to put pressure on these guys, there should be a few still around in the mid 50s and we have to be smart.
I have no doubt we will go for a recycled player but certainly hope this isnt till our very last pick, as we need to get at least 4 kids through the door, mostly likely miles will be redrafted at pick 5, although I have a strong feeling we will take 3 kids and redraft miles to only have four selections.

I have heard we were into Trav J before the trade period and had spoken to him a number of times, and I havea slight feeling if salary cap permits that he might be our last selection. Lets hope we take 4 kids first, look at redrafting miles at pick 5 and Trav J at pick 6, as he would prolly be in our starting 22.
As I see it this is a very important draft for the saints, we need to go after kids and get the best talent at the time, speed and another third fwd are our priorities. If we can get a decent kid at pick 24 with speed and skills, and maybe grab a third fwd at 42, we would have done well. I pray that prestia slides to us, but I have a feeling he would be long gone.

Will be interesting...
A lot of the mock drafts have - Jack DARLING sliding past our pick # 24. If he is still available we would be mad not to take him he is exactly what we need up forward (HAMILL like) only taller and a better kick !!!
SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

there is an article on jack in today's age
enjoy the read...

'The questions frustrate Darling, who knows clubs worry about his height as a forward and was at pains during the recent draft combine to tell them it wasn't the only position he could play. If it were up to him, he'd be seen as a midfielder, a position his speed and endurance testing suggest he could play. ''You can go and get your own footy in there,'' he told The Age. ''You're not relying on other people to get you the footy, and I kind of rate my running ability. I think my game might suit playing there.''
These questions, though, are not the only ones about Darling. He spent this year at West Perth, where he played much of the season, and worked early in the year as a courier, having already finished year 12. He was suspended from his private school this time last year after being caught with alcohol and a girl in his tent during a school camp and he has been involved in a couple of off-field incidents.
One club's recruiters saw him drinking and scuffling with a bouncer after an under-18 game. And at the end of the West Perth season, he was hit from behind early one Sunday morning at a Subiaco hotel. Stricken with headaches the next day, he ended up in hospital for several days, suffering three bleeds on his brain, a contusion at the front of his head and a fracture at the back of his skull. Not his fault - clearly - but some clubs have queried why he was even out so late in the first place'
...sounds like he is more trouble than he's worth to me....

If you werent so old I could understand how gullible someone could be but considering you are older than Adam you wouldnt think you could be that gullible. A gullible cleaner who tells people on here he is a rich lawyer who get propositioned. Now that is the funniest thing I have ever read. Now please go back to your cleaning duties or at least take a nap so you can say up till 8pm tonight and finally stop dribbling and get someone to change your nappy. They do say when you get older you go back to doing things that you did as a baby so I shouldnt have a go at you for that.stinger wrote:plugger66 wrote:For a person who claims stalking on another threead you really are a pot kettle black old cleaner who lies a lot.stinger wrote:plugger66 wrote:Wouldnt have a clue who we will pick but we will only use 4 picks instead of 6 we could use.

Even better, perhaps we can keep the thread on track.GrumpyOne wrote:More popcorn please.
I think we will be going with 4 quicks...unless something happens in terms of availability...and then 1-2 recycled players. Neagle as the third forward would not surprise me...imagine if the guy actually worked hard!

Plugger66 on points for me.
His counter-punching was sublime and that reference to dribbling and changing the nappy was very clever.
Stinger overused the emoticons and that bit about Plugger66 not knowing who his father was - below the belt I thought - could have been disqualified. And I hated that “bahahahahahaâ€
