Great stuff Saints

Very interesting footage...

Seems to me like they are only discussing possibles for pick 21 in the part that was filmed.

No mention of Nakia... Maybe they think Nakia will be long gone by pick 21....

Tony seems like hes keen to justify their jobs in front of Pelchen

[Munga]

That's great to see part of the process!
Big wrap for Caleb Daniel.

Lol I thought so too Con.....watching that I felt like the all were on edge a little.......with Darth Vader Pelchen summing their comments up each time.......I can just imagine how it was when Lyon was in on these chats........less ' hes a good kid'...... and more.........'you got any stats to show hes a good kid?'

Stil they've watched enough so ought to know.

reality tv ?

I would be surprised if they didn't meet and discuss every one of the draft prospects. How could they possibly know what order they will all come out.

[WinnersOnly]

Great work by the clubs media team!

[saintly]

fantastic stuff by the club.

[saintly]

we should be emailing the club and commending them for this access.

and they are not going to put up a meeting about a player they may take in the top 10-15,

[HitTheBoundary]

That was great to see. I'd love to see the stuff that wasn't included - i.e. no one really expressed any negatives.

My other thought was - What a great job!

[saint-stu]

The club has been great with their online content these past few years.

I found it interesting that Richo seemed to take a back seat in the discussion. I know he's not technically a recruiter but he will end up responsible for the players performances.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

And what a great little cubbyhole.

I doubt the content would consist of any state secrets or major revelations, but it was still fantastic to watch the process. I could watch that for hours.

well if released after draft day who cares if there were secrets in there?

Good point.

The discussion of interest re Pick 1 is not Petractor over others but more if there was any discussion re trading pick 1 for multi picks/players.

Dunno if we'll ever see that one as trading strategies should be kept in house and never made public

[Saint wagga]

"Good country kid", "the family know an honest days work"...bla bla any other rusted on cliches they could find!! give me a break...Boring, zero 'real' insight...didn't like it. How about...mmm yeah Caleb Daniels good, quick, good footy smarts...ok let's go round the room...where do we rank him in the draft and why...then it may have been interesting.

Can't imagine any of those underlings in the room even expressing 1 inch of disagreement with Pelican, especially when you got 3 hand held cameras floating around the room giving us profile picks of Pekicans giant schnozzola!! As one with a big beak myself, he couldn't have been happy with some of those angles

In sum, token, gimmick, no real insight or grunt. But that's just my opinion. Maybe I'm grumpy cause Theres no footy on this weekend

They do it alphabetically by first name. That was the Caleb section. It's a very long process. They had just finished the Cales and they were about to move on to the Callans.

[whiskers3614]

Fully expected to see Monkeys, gin bottles and dartboards when I saw the thread heading!

[Middo]

That's great to see part of the process!
Big wrap for Caleb Daniel.

Thinking late pick or rookie based on that !!

Fair call. It is a spin piece so what do you expect?

Always really hard the first week after footy finishes. Next week as the trading ramps up will be better.

I agree about lack of insight. I appreciate the effort made by the club to be open, but I pray that is not really how it works. These guys are supposed to be experts, our future is dependent on their choice' s. I couldn't give a monkeys if their family are 'good working people' or not. Does that mean any gun players who are sons of freaky bohemian dole recipients won't be considered? The family dog isn't of as much interest as, say, he they'll be at playing footy.

I hope these guys know what they are doing. We need better drafting than the past.
