Re: Welcome pick 67 - Robert Young
We drafted a 22, 23 and 24 year old, as well as getting in Dan Han and Kent. Raising that average list age and bringing in some mature bodies.

Re: Welcome pick 67 - Robert Young
Good.
At least if they are duds we will be certain after 2 years or maybe one. Better that than develop an 18 year old taken later on in the draft and pissfarting for 4 or 5 years hoping they may come good and then delist.
By all means take a kid if you have a pick under 30, but not the later ones
Churn and burn until we get the right mix. Good strategy.

Re: Welcome pick 67 - Robert Young
Knows where the goals are.
He will do me
Looks like we picked up a couple of indigenous boys. Could be wrong though

Re: Welcome pick 67 - Robert Young
The recruiters obviously saw something in him to give him a go. Same as the other 2 mature aged players. We have drafted so many 18 year olds since Paddy's draft. I like we have gone mature with these later picks.
Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

Re: Welcome pick 67 - Robert Young
I can't kick, I can't handpass, my singing voice frightens small children. Few, however, have my ability to type relevant keywords into a search engine.
Youngy - which is the clever nickname I came up with myself just now after several moments of careful consideration - goes for a giant hanger at 3:30 in the above video and fails spectacularly. He also pops up around 8:10, 9:30 and 9:51.
Youngo - an alternate nickname in case youse didn't like my first crack - only kicked one goal in the GF, so I stopped watching after he kicked it. It's quite a beaut though. If he does anything else on the highlight reel, feel free to chime in.

While we are giving clever nicknames to Robert, did you consider Bob?
Bob Young - sounds like a ruckman from the 1960’s.
Proudly assuming the title of forum Oracle and serving as the inaugural Saintsational ‘weak as piss brigade’ President.

Re: Welcome pick 67 - Robert Young
Sadly, I'm going to have to get out of the nickname caper. It's too much of a treacherous minefield in this current political climate. I'm too worried to even refer to you by your screen name, for fear that it might actually mean 'Doing *** *** while **** the **** wearing a **** **** penguin *** in the ******** hot sauce' on snopes.com or something. Nope, it's 'St Kilda small forward Robert Young' for me until the politburo announces a list of approved nicknames.Joffa Burns wrote: ↑Sat 24 Nov 2018 9:14amWhile we are giving clever nicknames to Robert, did you consider Bob?

Re: Welcome pick 67 - Robert Young
Maybe "Young young"...that worked for a certain radio caller for many years, he was a champion caller but was laid off because he was too old, may have been Smokey Dawson , replaced on 6PR by a couple of duds after 1732 games.
