WHO WILL WE TAKE ON WEDNESDAY?

Post: # 1520018Post borderbarry »

I recently read that we have one PSD pick and four rookie picks for Wedneday, but I cant see how we have space on our senior list for another player.
For the 4 rookie picks, I favour
1. Tyler Kietel.
2. Jermaine Miller-Lewis
3 Petrenko
4. Schneiderman.

We could delist another player (Lee), which is unfortunately unlikely, so maybe it's just 4 rookies.

Member was slated in as our PSD pick until we were able to pick him up as a delisted FA

Saints just extended his contract for two years. What is wrong with you?

The thought that popped into my head this morning was to demote Gilbert to the Rookie List, his continuing foot issues must raise some questions about his short and long term future.

There's no way we would do it, and to be honest, i'm not sure there's anyone available that we need to open up a senior spot for anyway.

He's just one if they were looking for an extra position.

I reckon simpkin could comfortably be moved to the rookie list, he is essentially back-up anyway, if we see s player that we'd like in the PSD we should make that move.

Still hope Simpkin can make it...

Me too, just think he'll be behind about 8 others for a spot in the backline... So rookie would be okay as he could be upgraded when needed.

Why is it unfortunate we wont delist a Saints player. You really have no respect for kids trying to make it. Its actually pathetic SP.

Lets just rookie list 3 young kids and if they are good enough they can be promoted during the year. If we wanted more than 4 picks in the main draft surely we would have delisted by now.

If we identify 2 players that slipped through that we genuinely rate - like Templeton last year, then we should take one in the PSD and the other with out first rookie pick.

Simpkin is a good back-up player, but at this stage he's not looking like making it AFL level & would be highly doubtful to be playing early in the season.

Well we agree to disagree.

Sure thing.

I have no idea if we rate any of the leftovers though... Which would be the catalyst for any more list changes.

Rookies
1 - Peter Bampton, Saad

2 - Taylor Grace, Nick Mellington, Ryan Lim, Garret McDonough, Jeremy Taylor, Petrenko

3 - McKernan, Keenan Ramsay, Tyler Keitel, Haiden Schloithe

4 - Schneider

Hope they take 3 mids/runners. About 4 left footers in that group

Im pretty sure La Grice is training with us ahead of the rookie draft with special permission from the AFL. He must be being strongly considered. That's what I think it was could be Taylor Grace, one of the Sandy boys anyway.

A massive NO to Bampton, treacle slow, poor skills - we have enough inside mids.

I like Fordham, he has another gear which is great to watch. Neat skills, has a lot going for him imo. LeGrice is an option if Kietel unavailable. A few options there but I'm not sure anyone considered top 30 like Eli last year.

Surely if there is one, Simpkin is the most delistable.

Elliott Le Grice, the tall from Sandy VFL is training with the Saints

Taylor Grace is a 19yo mid from Sandy Dragons, not doing pre-season at Seaford as far as I know

I was totally wrong with the main draft and I probably won't fair much better tipping who we'll take in the Rookie draft, but here it is anyway.

Schneider aside, I'd like to see us take Elliott Le Grice, Adam Marcon and Ahmed Saad.

Here's who we'll take:

Pick 1: a kid we've barely heard of
Pick 19: a kid we've never heard of
Pick 37: a recycled guy who instantly divides opinions
Pick 55: Schneids

Grimley is worth looking at. Couldn't break into the Hawks with their strong ruck lineup.

And wasn't Bampton slated for a top 25 finish.
