winners & losers from draft day

[Barney2]

Just looked at C Rioli on Utube. Amazing. For all those knockers, have a look at Utube.
I will have him. He is small, but he will put on weight playing in the big league. He can still grow too. Gee, he can play.

[saintsRrising]

Rioli is a very good player...

Has great natural skills combined with a good footy brain and so knows where to run..

I am happy with McEvoy..but would have liked Rioli.

[Teflon]

flashy, good quick SMALL player.

Lots of em in AFL.

Talented 200cm RUCKS........not many of them...

Would it have killed you to type out the extra two letters and just make it youtube?
Carlton trolls are getting lazier...

Also recon big super massive losers were freo... Picking up Johnson and Bradley I feel were massive mstakes.. Add this to Solomen, plus Harvey and R Shaw as coaches and we have an essendon B team... What a joke..

If i were in charge of a club and hired a coach, the most important rule would be you are not to recruit a whole bunch of players from your
ex-team... particularly old washed up ones in soloman and johnsons case.

Addmittedly Lyon has poached a few swans, but atleast they are younge.. and were pretty much free.

[riccardo]

and im shocked by Freo picking johnson and bradley !!! i though they were going for a youth pollicy ????

thoughs ??

Look at who thier coach is.

*cough*jobs for the boys*cough*

[Saints94]

Saints easily the best result overall

#9 McEvoy - great young ruckman, huge tank, great leader, will play ruckman or CHF

#26 Schneider and Dempster from Sydney - two premiership players

#42 Stevens

#58 Frasier Gehrig

#70 - Connors

#90 King and C.Gardiner

So we picked up a

quality young ruckman
a promising mid
a quick young mid hampered by injury
three premiership players
a two tme coleman medallist.

Who has done better?

Nobody.

A great result (on paper) for the recruiting team.

We picked Fraser Gehrig with 57

Correct. Rejects cut from a team that was struggling. Our players from Sydney weren't de-listed like those picked up by Freo. Harvey will be exposed. Don't worry about that.

Great vid. Junior is a gun.

Exactly.

A quality ruckmen who can win the footy is a precious commodity.

[saintsRrising]

Anyway as Joffaboy pointed out...once you factor in the trades.....effectively the 4 players we gained for pick 26, then the Saints are the biggest winners this year.



McEvoy is a good pick up....as would I think would have been say any of the first 14 odd picked in the draft.


He blends well with our later picks (and our 2006 draft selections;Armo, Howard & Allen) and so far this year our draft and trades have EXCEEDED my hopes.....



A couple of good rookie selections will just nicely top things off....but again with what we have already secured I am more than happy.



In terms of kids the two main drafts (have secured a ruckman, 2 mids anda KPP. add to this last years rookies....and this years whomever they may be.....and we would seem to have good and balanced wave of kids coming through.

Word has it he has his own pair of knockers.

[saintspremiers]

West Coast = BIG WINNERS

yep, sure are.

I mean, they only lost both Judd and Cousins from 2007.....not much to replace really??
