Krakouer would be a fair pickup if he isnt charged by the court
Hartigan would add some more depth to our midfield but i dont think he would be able to break into it
And Bowden, softish footballer however he could be the halfforward we need
none are worth considering Krakour has been lucky he wasn't delisted last year or the year before, comes with off field issues as well, Bowden has been around for seven years for one half decent season playing loose back with and kick to kick with his brother. Hartigan don't know much about him.
I liked josh. Thought he would be a good player for them.
Very good football Talent (josh) just really struggled to gain any size and was consitently bullied and crunched, played some absoloute rippers for Box Hill, and was eaily BOG on plenty of occasions, but struggled with the Higher intensity bigger bodies at AFL level.
haddrill was really good not to long ago but is 26 now, suppose injuries buggered him (two knees in two years apparently). Walker!!!! went to school next door to mine, GOP nothing more. Collard one year on the list must of done something to piss harvey off. Dunn top ten draft pick 3 years in the system for one game. Mourish again only on the list for a year but a late selection. Collard I'd be interested in if the indescretion isn't too bad.
Collard is a very pacy midfielder/half forward, and was drafted in 2006 with pick #31 in last year's draft. Touted as one of the more exciting prospects.
Played 1 game this year and showed good form for South Fremantle. Will almost certainly be picked up again in the draft.
Can't believe he has been delisted .... must be discipline issues or something.
Would be a perfect pickup for us IMO.
They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.
Brad is actually quite a smart bloke. Believe he is almost finished his commerce degree, and is quite interested in the sports management side of things.
The club were very impressed with his debut game - only had around 30% gametime, but tackled well and his touches all hit a target.
Internally they are rapt with his progress ... only 70-something kilo's, so he has a bit of weight to stack on.
Will make it IMO and be a beauty for us off the half-back line. Give him time.

Agree (maybe more in hope than anything) with this sentiment. Hasn't disappointed this year. I don't think anyone at the club was expecting much from him this year.

if all the boxes were ticked
its not as if this draft is any good this year anyway apart from the top 15
Collard was a potential 1st round selection in one of the strongest drafts in many years. Absolutely must come under review for a draft selection by the Saints. Good fit for our list with speed and agility to burn.
Was touted as a possible top 10 pick last year (quite a few wanted us to take him with pick 9) and seemed to have all the tools to make it. Skills, pace, height, smarts. Was always going to take a couple of years to fill out, so I really doubt this was a decision made on football ability.
Dunn would be a handy player for us if he could get his body right, but if he couldn't do it at Fremantle then he won't be able to at St Kilda. Haddrill should be picked up by another club (but not us).
Mourish was supposed to have huge talent, but he didn't follow the usual path for draftees and maybe that was simply because he wasn't good enough. However I wouldn't be surprised if attitude was the main reason for his delisting as well.
I really hope that we don't draft Walker. He is extremely quick, but has nothing else going for him. Although Lyon doesn't seem to mind if a player is crap at football as long as they can run, so I wouldn't rule him out.

Again depends why freo is letting him go!!! Clubs don't delist potentially good players without a reason.
