Lots of good South Australians floating around in this draft that will be available with our picks. If we took Bampton and Neal-Bullen with 21-22 (along with Petracca at 1) I think that would be the basis of a seriously good midfield.

People suggesting we trade Jack must be crazy. Our best young mid by a long way. And we trade him out? I would be ropable.

And whispers, in regard to Jetta he was poor yesterday but was brilliant in the 12 gf.

So we could be out of Seaford in two years. Incredible.

Interesting! It relies on more money coming in from somewhere unspecified, and the Naphthine government getting re-elected. A lot of water to go under the bridge still there. But could be the making of our next 30 years just like Moorabbin was. The article mentioned that they believed both parties ...

I reckon Minchington could be a really good small forward who could go on the ball. I really hope we don't get rid of him. He's got skill and nous, something that is sadly lacking from a number of our players. Then why has he hardly played? He isnt fit enough and doesnt get enough of the ball and l...

Con, you seem to think that the sky is going to fall in if we keep any older players. It's all well and good to want to fill the team with youth, but the problem is they're unproven and frankly a lot of them aren't good enough. Personally, I think if Fisher can stay fit it's a no brainer to keep him...

I just don't want to rule out getting Petracca if he is going to be the next Judd or something. We could really use a great midfielder to compliment our young developing midfield. Grab a forward through FA later on once Roo retires.

Lost all respect for him after the racism incident. It was one of the most despicable accounts I've heard.

I think we need him. But we need him fit! Has really struggled with fitness for two years now.

Complete troll. Writes like a ten year old.

I was recently in Melbourne for the first time for years. Just for one weekend. I stayed with my friends in Newport and on Saturday afternoon wandered down to Spotswood to see ladder position #1 vs #2 in the WRFL. A crowd of about 500 maybe. Stood in front of the 'Woodsmen'. The Spotswood regulars....

Jack was asked by the panel on Marngrook last night.. how do impress a girl? He answered with ..take them to a fancy restaurant. Impressive young fella! Jack's a handsome lad. Don't think he'd have to worry too much about a fancy restaurant, a nice cheap Vietnamese joint, a glass of red, those eyes...

Trading out the no.1 pick hasn't happened too often. And when it has it's made that club look pretty stupid in hindsight if my memory serves.

Said that Spencer was the next big thing. Hope he's right!

What a pick-up he's been. If Acres turns out to be anywhere near as good then our 2013 draft will be one to remember.

Hats off Luke. Enjoy the break and see you next year.

Start of next year as it stands it will be: 32: Fisher, Riewoldt 31: Dempster, Jones, Montagna 30: Schneider 29: 28: Gilbert, Gwilt, Ray 27: Milera 26: Armitage, Dennis-Lane, Geary 25: Delaney, Shenton (r) 24: Dunell, Hickey, Holmes (r), Lee, Savage, Simpkin, Stanley, Steven 23: Roberton, Weller (r...

6 games in NZ would be pretty out there. St Kilda has loads of supporters in Melbourne, we just haven't been good at retaining them. I mean, we've lost about 10,000 members over the last couple of years, when other sides have found ways to boost those numbers. I'm all for the NZ expansion, but I thi...

Watched some footage of McCartin recently. Now obviously as we all say, I'm no expert. But, I thought there were some warning signs. His kicking for goal looks very poor. He doesn't look that agile. Obviously a great mark, but in todays game it's just as important to be dominant at ground level as w...

Interesting to see Dunell and Milera stand up again. These two are probably on the chopping block this year, but have consistently shown that they are too good for VFL. Will they both be de-listed, and if so will other clubs have a look at them?

To be perfectly honest, I would like to see us flog the s*** out of Gold Coast this week and I'm happy to give up pick one in doing so.

Very, very good post. A few wins to end the year would be great for us.

Fisher is an interesting one. Would be a pretty juicy FA prospect for a top side you would think. I wouldnt think so but they wouldnt pay enough for us to get a good pick anyway so lets just keep him and I think the club has been very good to him with all the issues he has had. I'm not saying we le...

I don't think it's worth it personally.
