Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 23 2021

[wally]

Yes brad Johnson seems to look for reasons to bag us …. on the commentary he was hinting that he wanted to get Sharman to bulldogs until it was pointed out he had signed a 2 yr extension during the week

[Impatient Sainter]

Great win by the lads. Lots to look forward to in 2022.

Nah - he still said that they should pursue a trade - I think the exact words were that you can still talk to contracted players.

Good win a pity we could not get a full team on the park most weeks but gives me hope for the future

That's a strong back five, very strong if we can afford to leave an opposition forward free

Special mention to Clavarino, he just needs games & confidence. He's a good size & mark.

Plus no Hill or Billings in that 16 Sainter_Dad.

Are you forgetting Highmore? Coffield has to have more than one glimpse of a return to form before he dislodges Highmore on this season’s form.

It's the best time of the year. The next 5 months are gold. We haven't lost a game yet.

My least liked Saints player Hunter has actually been ok today.

We need to cut the guy some slack, he's been better each game he's played and will improve with a proper pre-season. Which he didn't have.

Yep, and he will be on the list next year. I am certain of it.

Freo tanked
Saints avoided a better pick but also avoided the 9th spot.

Looking forward to the draft now. The first pick will be pushed back anyway with Nick Daicos going to the Pies as pick 1.

The first pick will be pushed back anyway with Nick Daicos going to the Pies as pick 1.

An early start to this annual discussion.

The numbers may change - but the pick does not - Nick Daicos is not available to us (or anyone else aside from Collingwood) therefore it does not affect the draft numbers. You may as well call Father/Son and Academy etc picks as 1FS and 1A and retain the #1 mantle. Fathers Son picks have the same relevance as the Mid Season draft picks - they do not affect the draft order - saying we have pick 10 - is still pick 10 - even if the moniker of it is 11 - we are still picking what we consider is the 10th best player in the draft that is available to us.

The only way it doesn’t affect the Saints is if there is a Pies pick before 9 that gets wiped off due to the bidding.

Otherwise, North’s pick 1 becomes pick 2 on bid match for Nick Daicos.

No - FFS

The only way it DOESN'T affect St Kilda is if Collingwood DON'T match - then Norths pick becomes Nick Daicos and we get the 8th best talent when we were expecting the 9th. There is no way Collingwood wont match the bid.

No Father Son Picks
1 - Player A
2 - Player B
3 - Player C
4 - Player D
5 - Player E
6 - player F
7 - Player G
8 - Player H
9 - Player I

With Nick Daicos going at #1
1 - Nick Daicos
2 - Player A
3 - Player B
4 - Player C
5 - Player D
6 - Player E
7 - player F
8 - Player G
9 - Player H
10 - Player I

Aside from the moniker of #9 vs #10 how does Nick Daicos affect our draft position? We still get Player I or the 9th best talent AVAILABLE TO US?????

Seriously people - My name is still Sainter_Dad whether I am 59 years old or 60

At present I am the 3rd oldest at work - someone else comes to work that is older than me - I simply become the 4th oldest - I am still the same age.
THE DRAFT ORDER DOES NOT CHANGE WITH THE INSERTION OF FATHER SON - ACADEMY PICKS as they are surplus picks.

Concessional Picks - FA Compensation Picks - that changes the order as a talent that WAS available to you is now not available as say Richmond (if they lost Dusty to FA) has had 2 picks when they used to have 1
