Re: Live draft thread
Saints continue their obsession with tall defenders in the last 5 years....

Re: Live draft thread
how can a club not have their selections already chosen? took an eternity to choose - surely they have contingency sheets drawn up?

They were contemplating if picking a tall defender was worth putting up with Con's feedback. F*** him they said.desertsaint wrote:how can a club not have their selections already chosen? took an eternity to choose - surely they have contingency sheets drawn up?
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

I have no issues with it.
But Nate Brown should start thinking about life after professional football and Hugh Goddard would be feeling nervous....

(somebody has to say it!!)
I agree with the fat little Greek, Nat Brown should be jumping on seek.com
or checking out his investment portfolio...about an alternative income stream

Re: Live draft thread
Clavarino does look like he can take a grab and is an interceptor... and apparently can negate as well

Re: Live draft thread
Pick 46 Ben Patton (DEF)
Height: 186cm
Medium defender who provided great run from defence and used the ball well by both hand and foot in the NAB AFL U18 Championships for Vic Country, winning All Australian honours. Has an impressive natural leap, allowing him to play on a taller opponent when required.

His rival is like a tractor
If they room together, look out, Hughie will be giving the Clavicle
extra helpings of mashed potatoes, very fatty beef and sausages.
Hugh will do the Maccas runs and insist on getting 3 burgers for OC
but only eating salads himself
