Understand the sentiment but Jesse Smith has done his 'apprenticeship' - which Ross loves - and knows what's required.
If we can get his ankles right, we've got a fine player. I'm a big wrap for his talent. Injuries are his worry.
Pattison is a bit more speculative IMO. Taken a bit early for mine but understand the rationale.

I thought Pattison was a great prospect about 2 years... never really came on though.
IMO our ruck department was a lot weaker than most realised.
Gardiner could disappear just as quickly as he came (IMO will fall away very quickly at some point at some point) King sufficient at best, McEvoy looks promising but has to prove himself, Stanley is raw.
I think the coaching staff had a similar vein of thought
Safe pick IMO.
May not be a great pick up but is not a dud either. Has a lot of up side.

Not really interested in late draft picks. Lots of luck required to get anything long term.
My concern is with WINMAR.
Did we pick him because of his association with a former St Kilda player OR was he really the next best available player ?
A very DUD draft for the St Kilda footy club IMO.

Leave your ego's in the locker when you start and pick them up again when you retire
have a look at the Utube's of him.Longwayfromhome wrote:Not really interested in late draft picks. Lots of luck required to get anything long term.

Nice mover, kicks both feet, quick hands, looks like a good mark.
Needs to work on disposal a bit but looks like he can play
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

His disposal is apparently one of his strengths - came second in the kicking test at draft camp... the mozz on him is his endurancejoffaboy wrote:have a look at the Utube's of him.Longwayfromhome wrote:Not really interested in late draft picks. Lots of luck required to get anything long term.

The club recognised that picks 60 and 64 would have been picks 90 and 96 in an uncompromised draft.
Last year they would be equivalent to rookie picks 15 and 21.
A choice of gambling on recycled players of known abilities or gambling on kids with limited and unknown abilities.
Seeing Matt Maguire was still around the selection of two recycled talls says that St Kilda thinks Matt's legs are well and truly stuffed.

Maybe.

Re: Adam Pattison & Jesse Smith
are you joking? we picked up what 7? kids last year plus rookies. smith is still young and if he stays injury free may actually play in a flag in the next couple of years unlike a kid we'd pick in the 60's. was widely regarded as the best player in his draft and i am glad we got him.snippa wrote:Surely you jest.....
Young kids please!!!!!
patto on the other hand... wtf? mcevoy and stanley are plenty of back up i would have thought
