I suppose Begley is a replacement for Dempster by the sounds of it.

Interesting. On the face of it a better pick than Carroll.

Overall sounds and looks like we have gone pretty well.

Heyne sounds like a promising pickup.

We now have five left footed mids.

The medallion club side of TD or whatever the eff it is called will be seeing a lot of Saints action next season :D

Agree.... by far then most impressive youtube package out of the three so far... looks very agile and quick for his size..

FOr a big guy, got a bit of mongrel. More tackles on that package than Kingy has done in the whole season. :wink:

Looks an ok kick and ok below the ankles too. Nice!

With Dempster having done his knee.....may be a fill in.

Also I have my doubts about Gwilt....so Begley is certainly an option down back.

Yes agree.

If you look where each was taken...they all seem to be quite reasonable picks.

I would have lovea "gun" mid...but none slipped to our picks.

Referring to Swift?

I guess so, but weren't J Selwood and Rioli also risks?

No risk...no reward.

But I'll take Lynch, seems alright. Just wish I knew more about him.

Pelchen just indicated that Hawthorn would have taken Hyne at 50 had we not got him.

Rated him and their own pic (Lisle) Top 25.

Lynch at 13 :(
Stanley at 47 :|
Heyne at 48 :D
Smith at 62 :|
Cahill at 74 :)
Begley at 83 :)

Good draft overall, I think we could have done better with our first pick but overall not too bad. Heyne an absolute steal

Why? Have a look at the vision - seems a very likely type. Only issue is he as already done an ACL.

Apparently Buckley liked what he saw and thinks he has the intesity and want to succeed.

Give the kid a go.

St Kilda has picked up 7 players including Farren Ray by trade.
Not one of them has had their 23 birthday.
The club said they wanted 6 youngsters they got 7.
They ignored all the mature player possibilities.

Alright guys, not a fan of Lynch. In the footage I've seen of him he had terrible (not just average) disposal and goal shooting. Courageous, good mark but more of a second round prospect in my opinion. Would have preferred Blease, Trengove or possibly Shoenmakers.

I'm not gonna write him off or anything of course, I realise our recruiters know better than me and I hope he tears it up for the Saints but I just think there were better available who suited our needs better.

p.s forgot to add no Carroll :D , No Cousin :|
