Saintsational AFL Draft Thread (Billings, Dunstan & Acres)

[Iceman234]

I bet Acres will have plenty of room to move around

Needs to work on conversion...

Acres for Rising Star.

Put your house on it!

Looks like we got 3 midfield type players to replace guys like Dal Santo, Goddard and Hayes. Hopefully next year will be a gun tall to replace Riewoldt.

No point in replacing skim milk with real milk this year.
And we certainly have plenty of skim milk.
We only want cream.

good analogy

Very impressed with the various tapes of them. They look like great selections by the Saints recruiters.

Perhaps a few good first round selections next year and we will be on our way again!!

Just watching the replay with the interviews now, jeez Bomber wasn't at all happy with the discussions on his table. Wow...

might just have wanted garlett

I guess they always say this.. but it seems our recruiters had Dunstan and Acres significantly higher than 18/19 on our list of preferred candidates...

So: our recruiters pretty well got who they hoped for at each pick (I guess they originally hoped for Kelly at 3... but it was obvious once Melbourne gave up pick 2 that he was out of the running).. let's hope they have nailed it!

Billings looks like Bud Bundy without the goatie

Bud Billings. Sounds like a good nickname to me.
