Id be very happy with Berry or Logue with our pick.

isnt Logue really what we are looking for in a KPD?
A beast, who can intercept but then run off... speed and stamina and at 194 cm can take talls

and looks ready to go!

Why not take him and then look for outside run later? (seems to be our other priority, after getting Steele and seemingly Stevens)

I know... our recruiters will have dont their homework and I have not a fraction of their knowledge.. just speaking BS really...

anyway, it will be interesting to see !

Oh.. and I am pretty sure I read that he is a asints fan
Irrelavent of course.. except then again, maybe it helps against the go-home factor which IMO sets in early (e.g. before Gibbs was ever drafted).. if he is excited to come to the saints.. bring it on!

Saints fan too? Get around him! PLUS he has a magnificent boofy curly type hairdoo.... give him the number 35 now.

[SuperDuper]

Kieran Collins was a ready made man mountain last year and played maybe 1 game this year. A lot more to it than just having athletic traits and being physically developed. Drafting is playing a long game.

agreed... that is why we have recruiters, who have surely seen enough of both of them to make the call an whether or not Logue is better (or further progessed) than Collins, who we ignored last year to take the Grash
remember, Logue played a lot of senior WAFL footy this year, so there is probably enough information to go on

Please no to Berry. Logue great athletic traits and fulfils defender role but not at pick 10 what a waste!

Venables, Florent, Logue, Rotham - they are all ok picks for late teens but they aren't worthy of a pick 10 in a strong draft, they are a big tier down from that top group.

What is wrong with Berry? Was injured this season. Dominated draft camp. Was a potential top 3.

POS: Midfield/half-back, Ht 191cm, Wt 80kg, DOB 5/2/98
From North Ballarat Rebels/Vic Country

It was a good week for Berry at the combine. He was a joint winner of the beep test (level 15.1) and claimed the 3km time trial outright (9:46 minutes), and also placed in the top-10 for repeat sprints, agility, clean hands and kicking tests. It reminded everyone of his exceptional athletic qualities and how he can perform when fit after an injury-ravaged year. At 191cm, Berry can move into different areas of the ground but in time sees himself in a midfield role. His leadership qualities stand out.

I just don't think he has the game which will translate into the real stuff.

He seems smart, committed and athletic so I can see the attraction but he is just a bit awkward and I think will get found out when the pressure of the AFL comes about.

Pick 10 is a high pick it shouldn't be used on someone with a question mark so thats why I'd like either 2 late teens or (my preference) pay up and get a pick in the top 7.

Good call.

[MC Gusto]

Stuff that I'd prefer mav over that goldilocks Fyfe!!

That would be emotion over practicality...
I'd have Fyfe all day

Hehe was meant somewhat in jest however Fyfe would be one of the only dockers I'd consider!!

Love the Mav!!

[St Ick]

Could I assume that Stevens and Hamling are involved in a 3 way trade with Freo? Highly doubt it, but man I hope we can swap first rounders with them somehow! More likely its just messing around with 4th round picks though.

[Con Gorozidis]

Did I hear correctly?
Chris Mayne turns 28 in a few weeks and got a 4 year deal? Oh brother.

[The Recruit]

Pick 10 for weller and pick 23 (hill trade)....familys reunited makes a lot of sense now

this is a good get...weller pick 13 in 2014...he will be a player.

[Con Gorozidis]

What picks do Freo have?
Hawks have 23.
Would have be a straight swap 10 for Weller.

[bigred]

I really, really cannot see Freo giving Weller AND pick 23 up.

[stkfc1]

Koby Stevens nominates us.

[Con Gorozidis]

I really, really cannot see Freo giving Weller AND pick 23 up.

Edit: Freo dont even have pick 23 so wont be happening.

[Con Gorozidis]

Koby Stevens nominates us.

Get on board. Koby will be a Saint.
Not enough Kobys in the side as is.

Hold your horses there. You reference the Hill trade but Freo gave that up to Hawks. Weller plays for Freo.

I want Lachie more than anyone but can see it happening this year, mind you adding Hill and Bennell might mean competition for Freos outside leaning types heats up.

[saynta]

It's billings

be mighty pissed if it were

Plus one

[saynta]

It's billings

I hope not.

But hypothetically what is he worth on the trade table? ... a mid first round + a second round pick ?

He is worth a top 10....IMO
Silence is deafening from the itk on here...will any of you say it is definately not billings...

It is definitely not Jack.

Thank you tony74. A really big thank you.

At last some good news from someone who is really ITK.

[Wombat15]

the blokes who posted this havent let anyone down. they shared the pickett news 2 weeks in advance.

[SuperDuper]

Did I hear correctly?
Chris Mayne turns 28 in a few weeks and got a 4 year deal? Oh brother.

how does a 28 year old average player get pic 23??????
Total BS!!!!!!

If you knew now that a young kid aged a8 was going to end up having a Mayne like career, you could take that to the bank... where would you take him? Around 23 I recon... looking at hit and miss rates and assuming you play it safe and take the known quantity of an AFL standard gop...
but then you get the guys whole f^&ing career!
for compo at age 28.. worth pick around 40

In the open draft.. worth pick around 40

[SuperDuper]

Koby Stevens nominates us.

Get on board. Koby will be a Saint.
Not enough Kobys in the side as is.

what do we pay form him
Worth more as much as Mayne!!!
which makes a mockery of the system
Anyway... would not expect us to give up much

[St Ick]

GWS trading 3 down to 2 makes no sense at all from an academy pov as noone would've bidded on Setters at 1 or 2.

Unless Dons have categorically said no they won't draft McGrath but Lions would've. Otherwise I just cannot get my head around this at all.

Would love someone to make some sense out of this one!

Oh, Koby nominates us. Second time in half a dozen years he has walked on a club when he can't get a game. Wish he'd just nominated us when Cripps walked out on us and saved us all the hassle. Waiting for us to look at Mitch Brown seriously then I really am in a time warp!!

Koby will come cheap but I do wonder how he fits in consider our current list plus Steele.

[St Ick]

the blokes who posted this havent let anyone down. they shared the pickett news 2 weeks in advance.

So we probably upped our offer as payback for Laverde. Dangerous game...

[bigred]

plenty of room. 50k is 50k

Bullies paid pick 44 for him in 2012.. must be worth a very low pick now.. having played the last half of the season in the VFL
strange case... having played well enough to get 6 brownlow votes to then seemingly not even be in the mix later in the year

[Playon]

Its official.. Koby Stevens requests trade to Saints..Trade radio

[SuperDuper]

I recon the saints are building a pretty physically intimidating team, with Steels and Stevens to add to the likes of Armitage and Weller...

Seb is also a big boy, and Paddy will be a beast, maybe another couple of years from now

Griffen Logue anyone?

of course, you need the skill to go with it
