Great picks. Very happy with the selections. The first 2 will become good midfielders. Clavarino could be great too.

I'm very pleased.

I reckon this will be our super draft.

Clark and Coffield could look like seriously good players to me.

[magnifisaint]

I'm loathe to criticize the club so who reckons we f***ed up?

[CURLY]

Paton's highlight reel is very underwhelming, especially when compare to Joel Garner, who was still available

Absolutely bizarre that we would pass on Joel Garner at that pick.

Bizarre.

Seems like group think at work AFL recruiter style.

Garner has been overlooked 53 times there's a reason for that.

So had Paton!

Yes of course but I'm sure he's not whinging we left him sitting there.

Very positive outlook Mr Con. Clarke and Coffield have the goods and tools. Super exciting! They are two top ten picks...lets remember this folks!

Claravino could be a major suprise packet. Not sure on Paton but who knows, they obviously saw something in him.

Not at all.

Great picks. Very happy with the selections. The first 2 will become good midfielders. Clavarino could be great too.

But are they midfeilders or BF.

Also dont understand the logic behind Ben Paton. Anothet medium backman? So he will be behind Rice, White, Clark, Coffield, Savage, Geary, Long, McKenzie, Webster and you could slso include in that list Newnes.

Why not take a risk and go someone like Joel Garner, Kyron Hayden, Dylan Moore, Jackson Ross or even Billy H?

[st sandy]

Not that it means everything however we have chosen three from the 2017 all Australian team
Our first pick excluded
So each can play

All appear to have solid foot skills

Go saints
I think we have done well

[saintsRrising]

I'm loathe to criticize the club so who reckons we f***ed up?

No. We did well with what we had.

Our problem is that we did not finish low enough to get the real cream.

I would have loved our first two picks to have been what Freo gained. BUT you can only get what is available.

I would have loved some star mids, but the best were all gone by the time our picks came.

Are you serious Billy Hartung????? I wonder why the Hawks delisted him,. Figjam?

[saintbrat]

Elshaugh's take- similiar to all recruiters - as the position dictates

[parkeysainter]

Paton was a BP in u/18 all australian side. Replacement for Geary at some point??

True but makes it very competitive

B Rice
B Paton
B White
J Webster
D Mac
S Savage
J Newnes

All vying for probably three or four spots.

Disagree that we did well tonight. We will get a pass mark in the media but not by much. Hunter and Coffield were on the cards so can't acted surprised about those two. But then to get 2 more defenders???? That makes no sense.

Hunter Clarke sounds like more of an inside mid than an outside one. I.e. he will go in and get his won ball just like about 5 other people already in the team.
Oscar Clavarino The only major doubt as to why he would go late is due to his height. Despite being the size of a key position defender, he is better suited to an intercept and rebounding role which is often reserved for mid-sized players. So another defender who doesn't sound like he will be a KPP.
And why not take a punt on someone else instead of Patton. Nothing against him but pick another position not another defender.
Not happy but will support the boys.
But if we draft in a Rookie defender on Monday I will lose my S@#t

Rice and White may not make it, have you ever seen 2 players develop as slow as these 2 ?

North Melb selected Hartung btw.

If I were you Wayne, I’d be the last one using the words slow and development about other people.

[Con Gorozidis]

Hartung and Jed Anderson can car pool and talk about their time at the Hawks.

[skeptic]

I would like Kyron Haiden
look him up
Potential star, Judd-like, big bodied mid with elite disposal
from Subiaco in WA

Your boy went undrafted from what I can see...

Surprising

You realise Garner played HBF. Big deal anyway most of the kids playing midfield in the TAC cup have the more mature bodies with less scope for improvement

Makes we wonder what we have planned for some of these ppl

I would say that Sav, Dmac and White are obvious candidates to go into the middle... Newnes too
Long is a forward pocket

@PaulAmy375

The Saints sure do like Dandenong Stingrays: Battle, Lonie, Minchington, Pierce, Rice, White, Wright and now Clark and Clavarino on their books. Roberton and Savage too.
