Expected him to go a little later personally.

M. Gardiner will love him as a team mate.

Whoa - talk about a bit early!

There's plenty of talent still there. He would have been around til the end.

Still, welcome to the Saints. Hopefully you can make a fist of it here, Zac.

All i know is that he was thrown in the deep end and couldnt handle it... i dont know how he has progressed since?

Played on Rocca where he got 6 goals in a first half, yet kept him on him

Excellent selection.

Welcome on board Zac

Batnoe · Post: # 686278Post **Batnoe** » Tue 16 Dec 2008 10:39am

End of first round, Riley Milne and Deboar, i would have preferred both of them before him

Oh, now I see what the club meant when they talked about our 'list blue print' when we decided not to get Cousins.

We're still getting plenty of discarded players - just very, very ordinary ones.

He was 75 kgs then now he is 96kgs

We've overlooked DeBoer, Varcoe, Gaertner, Stanton and Pearce - interesting.

The latter three are still available...fingers crossed.

Ralphy · Post: # 686282Post **Ralphy** » Tue 16 Dec 2008 10:40am

and we overlooked stanley and isles

MODS - please delete this thread.

Bad taste jokes should not be tolerated on this Forum.

To the OP, very ordinary form. Who are you trying give a heart attack to posting this sort of stuff???

evertonfc · Post: # 686285Post **evertonfc** » Tue 16 Dec 2008 10:41am

Hahaha - Tigers get Gourdis.

And Cousins.

Tigers 1, World 0.

Gee you're harsh Batnoe.. he got left on Rocca when he was in his first year & weighed about 70kgs!

He's 90 odd kg now & will be very solid back up if any of key defenders get hurt.

evertonfc · Post: # 686289Post **evertonfc** » Tue 16 Dec 2008 10:42am

Tom Simpkin to us at pick 29.

Still a lot of talent here...could they miss out?

savatage · Post: # 686292Post **savatage** » Tue 16 Dec 2008 10:42am

Tom Simpkin anyone?

Saints94 · Post: # 686293Post **Saints94** » Tue 16 Dec 2008 10:42am

Also have Tom Simpkin any info?

Giant ruckman Browne heads to Punt Road - looks like a good day for the Tigers.

Armoooo · Post: # 686302Post **Armoooo** » Tue 16 Dec 2008 10:47am

I am really not happy we passed on Pearce, has the potential to be a genuinie gun IMO...
