The club knew when they traded up the draft order to get Patrick Said they knew they could not make any more senior or rookie picks.
They rated him better than Adrian Cole, Lennox Hofmann and Elwood Pickett.
Will he be better than Lance Collard who extended to the end of 2027.

The club had already committed to taking Eamonn Armstrong as a rookie B. So that excluded Adrian Cole who having failed the main draft could have been taken as a rookie B. I don't know if placing Brad Crouch on the long term injured list allows St Kilda a supplemental selection but it certainly woul...

That makes a full list of maximum of 44 players. With Brad Crouch to be rookied in the rookie draft St Kilda has no more vacancies. No rookies in the rookie draft, no train on supplementary rookies. The only question is who got promoted from a rookie B to rookie A to make this possible. I assume th...

Cole can be selected as a rookie if he's not picked in this draft, right?

Yes he can but then St Kilda wont have a train on place.
Lennox Hofmann taken by Geelong.
St Kilda hands tied, could NOT take another senior player.

With Max Heath and Cooper Sharman having to be ungraded to the senior list, all 38 senior places are taken. So St Kilda will pass from now on. They only have one rookie slot left for the rookie draft or train on supplemental rookie. Adrian Cole and Lennox Hoffman will be hoping another club takes th...

That 4th round effectively has no value.
So St Kilda has probably traded away a mid 2nd round pick so late 30s for pick 45 this year but also for a player they wanted.

Why have Brisbane still got picks in the 40s - ahead of our pick which is pushed out to 52? They should’ve lost those picks matching bids Because Richmond, North, Carlton and Adelaide refused to bid on Ashcroft. Consequently Brisbane retained enough points equivalent to a bonus first round pick 21.

We had to do the right thing and not tank they say. Well Richmond didn't. They took Sam Lalor instead of calling Levi Ashcroft. North didn't. They took Finn O'Sullivan instead of calling Levi Ashcroft. Carlton didn't. They took Jagger Smith instead of calling Levi Ashcroft. Adelaide didn't. They too...

Well well well Once again we grab 2 defenders ( though the AFL lists Tobie as a MID he's played 99% of his career thus far as a DEF). Surely there's options with Tobie who could slot into the mid easily and the Flying Viking could take a foreward spot in a few years easily. Don't like the two defen...

My draft preference remains the same.
We don't beat Carlton by two points for a meaningless end of season win.
Consequently we get two of best midfielders out of
Sam Lalor
Finn O'Sullivan
Jagga Smith
Sid Draper
Harvey Langford
Josh Smillie

I want the best available future players.
St Kilda pays experts to choose who they are.
They had better get it right.

He will become a rookie "A" He will be placed on the long term injured list meaning St Kilda will be able to make a selection in the 2025 mid season rookie draft That leaves 7 vacancies to be filled during the main draft, preseason draft, rookie draft and rookie supplemental selections. Th...

We need to rookie Barron Trump 206cm
Daddy is allegedly very wealthy, will not tolerate opposition, could be very persuasive to have opposition ruckmen feign injury.
He could be a rookie "B" having been "born in the USA".

And their own interchange place
Two ruckman nominated by each team for each match.
They only get to interchange with each other.
Only ruckmen nominated by the team can contest centre bounces, throw-ins and ball ups.

Lets do a trade, picks 7 & 8 and a two point(less) win over Carlton. For picks 5 & 6 Guaranteed two of the best midfielders. At pick 7 St Kilda gets the 8th best midfielder, the midfielder that John West and 7 other clubs rejected (chose) not to take. Those who don't like losing meaningless ...

Without knowing anything about this situation, could it be as simple as :- it's Crouch's wish to have his money spread out over 2 financial years rather than receiving a lump sum (by being paid out now) in this financial year? You mean he realises that some liar in Canberra wants to take 47% of all...

NM would get a first round compensation pick immediately after their own pick so that may well be pick 2.
