On paper, a ripping draft for us.

Let our coaches go to work on that lot
Amazing how the cards fell for us... :wink:

Exactly who I would’ve drafted at EVERY pick

First time ever - satisfied with every selection

If they don’t work out - at least they took the right kids

Development is now key

Yep. I agree.
No left field picks that have us scratching our heads.
The consensus seems to be a good draft.
What have we become?
This is not the St Kilda I recognise.

Very pleased with tonight.

Van Es is huge and super quick, Keeler moves like a midfielder, Hotton looks smart and has good evasive skills as well as speed.

Ditto...could not have hoped for better selections with that draft pick hand. We have very quickly secured a good bunch of kids in two drafts.

Add a (R) F.A. or two over the next couple of years and our list should be balanced and strong.

Certainly looks like the club has drafted very well, it's now up to the Saints development coaches to help them progress to playing AFL.


Saints looking like a bottom 4 team in 2024.

FWIW, most of the opposition fans on BF seem to think we were the big winners in this draft.

The only caveat being, that they are all on the high risk side rather than the safe and predictable side.


So development will be the key.

Last two drafts may well be the reset we need to have a crack.

Yes not sure we had pick 47 but ended up with 44 and pick 60 when we didn't have any picks in our 60s just a thought.

The numbers change due to matching bids for father son and academy picks.
In the early picks the numbers are pushed back when clubs match and later they move the opposite way when the picks that matched come out of the draft.


One year will be our year
