Gobsmacked to see Matthew Allison come in at 8 in the top 10, ahead of Highmore and Bytel. What did they see that we didn’t?

Thought Highmore might come 2nd?

Very few players played more than 75% of the season

Allison, Connolly played most, if not every game

That counts for a lot in B&Fs

Campbell obvious winner

The reviews of each Zebs game, I can't recall any games where he got >6 possessions?

Some of you folks pay a lot of attention to Zebs, am I wrong?

I think he got into the high teens in possessions, in his last game, which was a surprise in itself.

Allison?
He's no ball magnet but that sounds like a made up number.

Poor numbers for a second year AFL listed player in the VFL

Especially considering he was StKs first selection at 26

It was another in a long line of surprise selections of players who were not expected to go nearly as high as we selected

To be fair most clubs are having significant fails from the 2020 draft due to the abnormally large flu season that year. But agree if you aint carving it up at Sandy then you are really on the nose. It's a much wider problem for our club and the current fragility of our list. Delicately balanced is how many are describing it.

Yeah, looking at that draft

Pretty average

I was big on more highly rated players

O’Driscoll, Berry and Poulter

But they are hardly setting the world on fire

Nothing surprises me at Sandringham.

But well done and congratulations to any St Kilda player who gets rewarded for their endeavour.
