Pick 51

Post: # 1830787Post saynta »

From herald sun.com

St Kilda

Pick 51: St Kilda clearly prioritised the trade and free agency periods ahead of this year's draft pool. At this stage, the Saints will have the longest wait of any club before taking their first pick. Cooper Sharman came onto the scene late at NAB League level but was invited to the national Draft Combine and has club interest. He's a tall forward who can also move up the ground, where his marking is a feature.

Around the mark: Sam Philp, Ned Cahill, Cameron Taheny

We will have to draft another young ruckman as a back up for Roman and paddy
Was Owens the guy at Sandringham who did show some promise?

I don’t think he was really ruckman size. They just had nobody else.

If a club nominates Biggy before pick 51, then with pick 51.

If they do not, we use 51 on a another player and take Biggy later. I am sure that is is what the club will be hoping.

But the club needed a pick in the fifties just in case he is picked a little earlier.

One draft expert has him going at 20. If someone bids that how do we get him. Is 51 alone enough?

Pick 38+ has us covered by the 20% discount applied to NGA and F/S nominated draftees.
Anything before that, and I’m sure we can swap 1 of our 2020 4th rounders with one of ports 2019 4th rounders to absorb the difference.
The best case scenario if if a bid doesn’t come until after pick 51, and we can use it on someone else.

No 51 is only enough from about pick 38 on.

If we decide to match we would have to top up the points. The difference would currently come off our 2020 first, unless we trade in.

So I guess on draft day our recruiters go out to a looooong lunch with the Eagles guys and waltz in together an hour late when they are approaching pick 40?

Yep. I doubt they will even show up to the first draft day, for the first round. Just show up an hour into day 2.
