Re: Gilbo, Armo, Geary, Brown.

Firstly loving this post and only a few negative posts so far. Good to see. My two cents is that it is great that there is more pressure for spots unfortunately they are mainly for back half which IMO is not our weakest area. Gilbo. True his disposals are not great but he has experience we need at p...

Says a lot about our team when half of the top 10 are defenders and no tall forwards. Luckily we just drafted 4 more backs????? (Hunter Clark will start as a HBF before the trolling starts.)

Sometimes you can just be lucky.

Re: Welcome to St. Kilda - Oscar Clavarino

Nearly every phantom draft expert had Naish before Clavarino so it was a reasonable decision to go Naish. Then they may have been discussing whether Clav may have lasted until pick 46 based on who had been taken so for. Personally I am disappointed we didn't take Naughton at 8. I think he would have...

Re: Welcome to St. Kilda - Oscar Clavarino

they took a heck of a long time to pick him, almost as if they threw the Naish pick in there to give them more time. If they had of previously selected him, they would've immediately picked him the moment richmond matched their Naish bid. I thought the same thing. It seemed like they lost there pla...

Hard to imagine the set of circumstances that would have to transpire that would see us promote a HB flanker rookie.

Re: Rookie draft

Pretty sure we'll grab Cam O'Shea from Port with our first pick. At 190cm O'Shea is a mid sized half back who can play tall and small and provides run out of defence. A quick glance at our list shows a lack of depth in this type of player and he could slot in nicely as a mature aged pick up. Please...

Jack Steven is an outside mid who has won 3 B&F's. So to say we have no pace in the middle is a little rich.[/quote]

Apologises I meant no new outside mid or no new pace. Jack Steven can't do it all himself although he tries to.

You need to read multiple articles as one is never enough and one may miss something or misstate something. He played as an outside mid in 2016 which has been pointed out in another thread. He then spent 2017 transitioning into an inside mid which he had success at and which seems to suit him more. ...
