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. A mid 2nd round pick is barely a pick of value these days tbh. Next years fourth round may be a pick 45, who knows. My view after p...

Barrat will be a forward, no doubt. Membrey replacement.

If we were looking for a forward, wouldn't we have drafted Whitlock?

Yeah spot on

Truely bizarre selection. Must have been selected for his ability to run. No way we go Cole now.

Did anyone watch Cole in his two vfl games this year? Understand he was young but f*** he looked bad, really hope we skip him and pick Hofmann instead using our later picks.

Shanahan or Whitlock would be great selections. I think the club will go Tom gross though.

Have you heard of best 2 available? Very debatable that these are best available. I think Allen and Armstrong are better prospects. Appears to be more need based recruitments to me. Defense is our best area of the field so unless we are planning 2-3 years ahead (and still I think mids and forwards ...

Remember when we drafted Nasiah and folks on here said “why did we draft another half back”? Don’t jinx the Nasiah selection. Still more likely than not he leaves us next year. Yeah ok we will have two first rounders thanks Adelaide or Butters. Out of contact we will have no bargaining power.

I'll meltdown if they pick anything but pure mids... I think they almost definitely won’t be. If Tarau is not selected before us Travaglia is as good as picked with 7. Way too much smoke around this selection. The club has clearly signalled to agents and the media he is our preference. With our nex...

We would need to give up a future 1st or 2nd to make this work. GWS don’t take that trade.

Would love to see the math on how a couple of 80 minute plane rides over 5 weeks is going to derail our whole season 8-) Not so much the plane ride that is the issue it’s the nature of the crowd. It is immense on Adelaide away days, never see more one sided crowds which definitely impacts performan...

I’m worried that there is a power battle going on with Misson and dryrimble about trading 8 into something more … i rather while we have the chance grab what is best available for 7-8 , it could set up up for next 10 years … and we have a history of screwing our shelves in the past seeing who’s got...

Dow & Stocker busts? Premature predictions of their demise? Certainly disrespectful timing, to try to make a cheap point. Hopeless "supporter". Dow #3 - traded for a bag of chips after 70 games. Stocker #19 (and more) delisted after 28 games. Both busts for Carlton? ABSOLUTELY! If you...

would be interested to here what people's ideal realistic draft scenario is. For me: Pick 7 - on the best available mid, whether that smilie, smith, langford ect... (very unlikely we will get any of these). I think its almost a certainty we take Travaglia with this pick. Pick 8 - I really hope we a...

The more you look at the situation and recent comments by the north list boss, it seems very unlikely we will get any of the top 7 crop of mids. I hope we split at least one of our picks if that’s the case as I think there’s at least 10 guys that I would be happy picking at 8 and 9.

Cal Twomey’s phantom drafts have been incredibly accurate over the past 4 years, I think he’s barely got a pick in top 20 wrong over that time (last year only missed Phoenix Gothard). He would have some intel on travaglia for sure, we’ll be picking him. I still think north would be crazy not to trad...

Yeah that Cairns game has been an issue - for some unknown reason we are probably just as well off playing Port in Adelaide..

Cairns is followed by the Bye at least (we should not lose that one)

Melbourne got pumped by 100 points in this fixture last year.

Teams we play twice: Demons, Tigers, Giants, Geelong, dogs, freo Not great, Not Terrible. Travel requirements are atrocious though. Also since start of 2010 we have played Adelaide and Port 37 times but only 10 times at Marvel. WTF is that about. No wonder we have terrible records against them, I c...

Geez you’re a peanut. Put a lot of effort in this post to more or less prove my point. A 50% success rate among first round selections would rank SOS among the top recruiters of the past few decades, that’s is an excellent strike rate. Yes Boyd had a better career than McCartin and king (so far) he...
