Cam McKenzie

[bangaulegend]

According to AFL site the present draft order has Cam around the pick 10 which is around our pick . I don't know a lot about him but I believe he is an academy player & would be fitting choice if the stars aligned . Very interested to hear what other Saintsationalist's think

[Vazelos]

Good player but I hear Lyon wants to get further down the order to get to Wardlaw. Let’s see if that is possible.

[skeptic]

Certainly seems to be the forum choice

[B.M]

Love the idea of taking locals - if they are rated around that pick

So

It’s a yes from me

I also think we should have taken Sinn last season

[D.B.Cooper]

Never seen him play except highlights.

Positives, NGA so should comfortable around the club. Local so should settle well.
Good size, quick and by reports a good user.
Pure mid.

Ticks all the boxes so if he is rated top 10 talent it’s a no brainer to get him.

[Saintmike65]

Cam is a safe bet but Phillipou and Humphrey have potential star power that we need..doubt we’ll rise in the draft order for our first pick but can see us using picks 27 & 32 to move up to late teens.

[maverick]

From what I have read and seen

Mackenzie is very good at most things but not elite.
He has shot in the draft boards in a week draft.

As others have said Phillipou and Humphrey are riskier but have elite attributes.

Reckon Humphrey will be gone by our pick.

[CURLY]

Should be able to take with a handful of late rubbish picks if the AFL didn’t change the rules.

Spending all that time at the club but yet doesn't consider himself a saints supporter.

[B.M]

Why would he?

He obviously grew up a supporter of a different club

What does that matter?

The only people that seem to care about who a player barracked for are the supporters.

Pretty sure Roo, Lenny, BJ and probably most of our other former champs didn’t grow up barracking for the Saints.

[B.M]

Lenny grew up a Sydney supporter

They could’ve taken him at pick 4

Instead they took StK supporter Jude Bolton

Not fussed about that at all, but most people will barrack for a team they have had the most exposure to, seeming he has spent so much time around the saints but isn't a support raises questions to me.

Why? I’m sure he had his team chosen before any StKilda action took effect.

My grandmother is a Coventry my uncle on my dads side played for Carlton. My grand father a 40 year member of Hawthorn.

I hate all three sides.

[1971]

Doesn't matter which player we take as we will be slammed by the media for the next ten years for taking the wrong one.

[B.M]

Only if we take a guy rated to go in the 40s with pick 9

Which’d be typical

[D.B.Cooper]

Lenny grew up a Sydney supporter

They could’ve taken him at pick 4

Instead they took StK supporter Jude Bolton

Pretty sure they had 3 top ten picks that year and took Fitzgerald (big brother),Fosdyk & Bolton from memory not taking local Hayes who we took at 11.

Apparently we wanted Bolton who ironically was a Saints supporter.

Hayes worked out ok for us and Bolton for them.
The other two, as Borat would say…. Not so much.

So how the hell did you follow St Kilda?

Blond hair as a kid my StKilda supporting neighbour used to call me Barks.
Got me a jumper used to take me.

Looking at his highlights, he seems to weight the ball nicely to a leading forward.
His kicking style is a little bit of a chipping delivery than it is a bullet. Not as much as Bytels or Highmores.
Seems to lower the eyes well and wants to make his disposals as telling as possible.

Seems like a very good option at pick 10

Plus one and then some.

[DJ Higgins]

Read in another mock draft that Jedd busslinger is who we will take if available. From wa so go home factor is there but best back in draft I think. Makes sense as we have that whole to fill as well

[B.M]

You NEVER draft to ‘fill a hole’

Drafting 18yos often has little impact on a current list

You draft them as 12+ year players… if you are drafting them on a position required for the now… you are a fool!

McCartin was drafted to replace Reiwoldt

Nick played for another 4 seasons

McCartin played 30 games and ended up a defender

Rule is simple
Draft best player available within the first 2 rounds

[Impatient Sainter]

Ill forgive the fact that he is an Essendon supporter and would gleefully take McKenzie. I will be disappointed if he doesnt get through to us, but as long as we get one of Tsatas, Phillipou or Holland's Ill be happy.

[SaintPav]

Isn’t he Dorkthorn
