If that Pick 3 goes anywhere, unless it's for Jager O'Meara, then the club should deadset close it's doors.

It was a pisstake, but if they did do something like that I agree


Lance or James??

I wont be particularly happy if we trade away either of our first 2 picks unless the deal is unbelievably weighted in our favour. We haven't had a real win at the trade table since the Schneider / Dempster deal. Perhaps 5 years from now I will look upon the Lee & Hickey trades as 'wins', but right now the jury is out.

Agree. He's the only one I'd give it up for. Maybe Talia + 1 other as well.

If Melbourne were to get a priority it should be around pick 15-20.

Was thinking that if Boyd was still avail at pick 3 (if hawks keep buddy and gws don't get a trade done and melb pass up for a midfielder) I would be pretty happy. We're gonna be down for a while so we could pick up a gun mid next year. Plus big forwards progress slower anyway .
A forward line of white lee and Boyd could be something to take us thru the next ten year period.
I might be stating the obvious here. ;)

Im unconvinced on Boyd. hes seems a bit risky. Like a young Kosi. Kick and mark specialist...

But Im a big believer in backing Elshaugh for our first two picks. He has done will the last two years despite having crap picks in the draft.

Unless a trade is irresistable ( a genuine proven gun under 25) which wont happen - then we should use our first two picks in the draft.
If we get either Aish or Scharenberg Ill do a cartwheel.

Nothing wrong with a young Kosi Con... the Kosi after he had his head caved in is an entirely different player.

I'm firmly in the 'Get Boyd' camp...

Yep would love Boyd but I don't think he's going to be there at 3. Their not that dumb!


I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Priority picks are meant to be end of the first round these days.

That isnt true at all. Its up to the AFL commission to decide if a team gets a priorty pick and when they get it.
