I don't think Paddy was a top ten draft pick, but he will improve. Petracca was the obvious choice.

I heard our coach on this morning's news announcing they were in a financial position to recruit uncontracted players from other clubs. Who do you think the Saints will go after?

About the same number of people you would see in the main Street of Walhalla in the middle of winter

Petracca without a doubt, GWS were prepared to swap picks 4 & 7 to get him, that should tell you something.

If a 'former St.Kilda player' who never played a game for us was acquitted for what he was alleged to have done, (and I believed he was guilty) there is no way Milney would have been convicted of rape, he should not have pleaded guilty to anything.

Her reputation smashed? She has remained anonymous the whole time

Does that include airfares?

Welcome aboard! Looking forward to your posts

The Edelsten experience back in the mid 80's seems to have put a dampener on future private ownership on AFL clubs. BTW, why the hell is Edelsten still being invited to the Brownlow Medal function?

OK, I tried to find the broader community's opinion on our Pet Raccoon, and I discovered this article on a website with the brilliant title of Executives News. At first I thought this was some mad new hardcore executive lingo that I'm a bit out of touch on, but inspecting closely it looks like a me...

Seems like we will take him as pick 1. Things may change. Watched his highlights videos, kicking was my only concern. But hard to judge from a few kicks that went astray. I am interested in the views of more knowledgeable people than me, how good is he? I don't know if anyone else has posted this, ...

I'll give it a C+, we have three early picks including #1. If we can bag three talented players it will be great!

I really hope Ahmed gets another go at AFL, but I wouldn't use any early draft picks on him. It riles me that he was the only player suspended for using "supplements" has any Essendon player been spoken to harshly yet?

Have Richmond been more active then us? Adelaide? West Coast? Fremantle?

Were they less active than us?

So, what have we gained so far? It looks like we were the least active club during this trade period. I wouldn't be surprised if we traded pick #1 for "magic beans" What do you want the club to do? Trade for players we aren't interested in? Off load players for the heck of it? Pelchan sai...

Can I just ask, if this is such a good trade for us, then why would GWS do it? Are they stupid? Is Petracca worth more to them than to us? I actually don't quite understand why GWS would sell the house for Petracca while we are so willing to trade him away. I agree, what can we do with those picks ...

Here's a bit that interestep me more at the end of the same article, which opens by discussing Russel Greene's move to Hawthorn: But the search for betterment – and a bargain – is age-old and eternal. In six-and-a-half years at St Kilda, Greene had not played a final. The move was not his idea, but...

Petracca is the highest rated player to appear in the draft in ages and is almost certain to be snapped up at #1, make sure it is us that get him!

Petracca sounds exactly who we are looking for, a class player who's not bringing any baggage/politics from another club. We'd be crazy not to snap him up!

Free agency will only ensure Hawthorn Geelong and Sydney will end up with the best players even more certainly than they do now.

Just watch Hawthorn manipulate the system & wind up with the best players
