I thought Nexus Helen or whatever she/he/it's name might be had departed this site permanently for Big Farty, after seemingly predicting every possible scenario for the trade period except what actually eventuated.
I confidently predict that we will use our pick either to snare Max Heath or somebody else.
If it's someone else, then there will turn out to have been a last minute problem with getting Heath that Nexus's friend had told them about and she/he/it hadn't been able to get back onto SS in time to warn us about.
SP66 is not Nexus Helen or City West.
He's got quite a few of you sucked in.

Do you mean that there is someone in this universe who is happy if people believe they are Nexus Helen or City West?

Had a look at his profile on afldraftcentral, looks a bit like a bigger version of Big Carl Ditterich (193 cm 91 kg) who made his debut for St Kilda at age 20 in 1965.
Wouldn't mind him at all and maybe on the club's radar when deciding to delist Jack Bell....
I think Big Carl debuted round 1 1963 at the Junction Oval against Melbourne. The saints made the move to Moorabbin in 1965.

You're right, my bad, should not have relied on footywire and looked at AFL Tables instead...

Otherwise, he is disqualified from the company of competent leaders."

We really need a Ruck forward or Back and he sounds good. But what if the best player is a 180 cm mid do we draft him instead that is what gags has indicated best player left not what we need.
Plus young heath is around the 40 range our first pick is around late 20s.
We desperately need young bigs we delisted so many and with Chips coming in we get a experience player but how much footy will he actually play and then he takes up a list spot for a young guy not sure if its a good idea we look very venerable down back if we get a injury to a tall.
Getting rid of Logan Austin does and did not make sense.

No problem. It’s just that I saw the game. Incredible debut by big Carl.

I was in the saints rooms, before and after the game, as well as during the half time break. The atmosphere was exhilarating...electric.
I also remember Big Carl patting Barrassi on the head, which Barrassi, many years later denied to me happened. It did.

A second big Carl. We couldn't be that lucky could we?
193cm was big back then
Now
Fyfe 192 cm, Bontempelli 193cm, Cripps 195cm
All vastly more agile and can kick a ball properly.
Ditterich did not have a ball drop kicking for goal.
Concentrates on his run in then tosses the ball UP before it drops to his boot.
Could go anywhere, mostly out of bounds on the full.
When 200 cm Len Thompson came on the scene he was like Sandilands so much taller than his rivals.
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.
