Michael Knoll. 25 from SA.
We might place McCartin on long term injury list so we get a pick in the mid season draft.

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
Obviously the club don't think much of Billy Longer or Lewis Pierce for that matter. Does anybody know what's happening with Pierce?

Much of a muchness really. He’s barely played in 5 years... clearly not rated, won’t be on the list next season

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
That’s for Gallagher to work out, he’s the list manager.
We’ve got Longer who is “apparently” doing everything right in the VFL so lets play him.

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
If there was one there sure but is there? I'd place paddy on long time injury list as he is too risky to play regardless if he is fit. Not sure if that helps anything but having him taking a spot for no benefit seems like a waste

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
How funny would it be if we found the midfield equivalent of Wilkie from a state league team? Not only would it be bloody amazing for out team not to have to rely on Ross' high bombs to outnumbered forwards - it'd also be classic Saints!
Go you red, black & white warriors

Yeah I read that. Sounds like he’s cooked also - regardless he will be delisted end of season along with many others.

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
If that is true...has our club learned nothing on the wisdom recruiting very young rucks?
Get someone with a few years under his belt.

But he will probably go to the Doggies like Bontempelli and Smith as I wanted them too

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
The club aren't alone in not thinking much of Mr Longer.
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
It's to cover for Pierce not Longer, no relevance what your thoughts are on any player really.

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
Does anyone subscribe to the Chris Scott and Geelong thinking that the mid season draft may be used for what it wasn't intended - namely stockpiling picks that would normally go early in the national draft near the end of the year?
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Saints looking at SA ruckman
To be honest I don't expect anything from the draft. These players were passed over in last year's draft so there won't be a lot of talent in there. Don't get me wrong there might be a diamond in there but don't get your hopes up.
As long as we don't draft a HBF I'll be happy
