Re: Picks 36, 46, 67 and 79

Must grab marlion pickett, I know they have spoken to him as I stated some time ago. If they can grab him then the saints midfield will go from average to good and that means a couple of more wins and possible scrape into the 8, Parker will also make a midfielder as well. Just need a big forward to...

Re: So Max King- He's a project.

He is about 200cm but I think he was selected as a forward not as a ruckman.

Yes, might have put a foot in it there Pav. Might even be a good chance of winning the "early crow" award for 2018/19. I won it in the 70's and in 1982 with a dud called Lockett. It is very hard to win.. 8-)

Re: St Kilda are the laughing stock of the AFL

There is also more than a very good chance that Ben Paton will step up next year. Then there is Doulton Langlands who is an excellent kick with tons of pace. We actually have an abundance of mids already. All they need is some good coaching. Quantity vs quality. Paton and Langlands were never genui...

Not quite a beast yet, that is going to far, be a few years before that happens. At the moment he is a kid with a knee injury that is healing and that is about it.

Re: Picks 36, 46, 67 and 79

These are our picks after pick 4, which has utterly dominated all other trade threads. But looking down the order...are there any gems who could slip through to 36 or 46? Or some nice speculative picks or recycled players to go at 67 or 79? Round Two - 36 Round Three - 46 Round Four - 67 Round Five...

Speaking of my knowledge of the game which is humungous, saints may be wise to throw King once fit onto a wing where Rewoldt should have spent his last 2 years.

Re: St Kilda are the laughing stock of the AFL

I think the comp would've laughed at us if we didn't pick up a player who was widely considered to be worthy of a top pick. It's delicious to think that within two years there's every chance that we'll get Ben off the Suns. Regarding midfield class, I would say that these blokes on our list have th...

North queue jumped to 8. Pick 8 worth 1551 points but North only had to surrender 80% of that number = 1241points They had stock piled picks 42, 47, 48, 55, 58 Pick 42 = 395 Pick 47 = 316 Pick 48 = 302 Pick 55 = 207 Pick 58 = 170 Total =1390 Surplus 149 I am not sure if they retain those 149 points...

Re: Mav Weller to sign with Richmond

Maybe it wasn't Richo but Kingsley that was the reason Weller kept getting games? Given Kingsley left for Richmond before Weller was delisted and now Richmond have picked him up it seems logical to me that they (Richmond) would have used Kingsley's opinion on this move. Maybe so. Apparently Richo s...

Re: Mav Weller to sign with Richmond

Proof be known that Richo wanted Mav to stay at the club and was out voted at the last minute....IMO though, Mav had run his race for whatever reasons, he just wasn't getting the pill and lost his goalkicking skills. Might do ok but I reckon Richmond will be the new bulldogs

Re: Picks 39, 46, 67 and 79

The past has shown that there are plenty of good players picked up at those numbers, this is what the recruiting team are paid for aren't they? Any spud can pick number 4 or 5, the genius is in spotting talent that others miss.
