Levi Greenwood was worth pick 25 and Ryder pick 17 + a lame dog (Cooney). I reckon that is enough to suggest that we did well to get pick 21 for Stanley, although I do understand that those players forced their club's hand a bit and they had to take what they could. Still in the cold light of day I ...

Add him to the list of Hayes, Ball, Milne, Koschitkze, Riewoldt and Schneider. Starting to look like a decent list for 2032!!

James Hird did it in his last year.

5. Roo
4. Lenny
3. Ray
2. Webster
1. Stanley

Good to see him one grab everything and provide an excellent 2nd ruck option.

A gem of a game along with plenty of others!!

Go Saints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it was open heart surgery, nothing minor about it. Shows what an absolute bloody superstar, champion he is!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure the Hawks were actually the first to dip their toe into NZ - those 2 rookies they signed this year have been on their books for 2 - 3 years I think (a bit like Joe Baker-Thomas is for us now).

Exactly...I don't get why some people only rate what SOME amateur observers think and completely disregard what ALL the professionals think. Yes he may be a good player, but he is clearly not a top 15 prospect given he wasn't even picked at pick 100! Anyway, hope he's a gun!! Go Saints!! Er No Ther...

bigcarl wrote:Damn. Why didn't we get him. Is he any good?

Hawthorn's recruiters would say yes, ours would say not as good as the guys we got.

Time will tell, so no point stressing about it now!

Not sure who Footy Tragic is or why they matter? He was overlooked by every club multiple times before we picked him up in the Rookie Draft. That doesn't necessarily mean he won't be a good player, but it does mean that he's very unlikely to objectively be the 15th best player in the draft pool. Ex...

Can't believe we got rid of Benny Mac & Dal!

:sarcasm:

Footy Tragic had Templeton as 15th best in the National Draft, well ahead of players such as Hartung and Cripps. Looks like another good acquisition. Boom.

Agreed. It's exactly how Fremantle treated us, so I say f*** Port Adelaide, why should we give a toss about them?

GO SAINTS!!

Newnes has got little to no upper body at all it looks like, Also same for Tom Lee. Nathan Wright, however, looks in terrific nick! Very surprised at the lack of size with a number of the boys - looks like they have not touched a weight in the off season. Hopefully the new fitness guy can put a roc...

He must have known this was going to happen sooner or later and didn't want to have to deal with it.
Fair enough too, he's had his fair share of scandals to work through in his time at the club.

Choco Williams

Please not as senior coach. If we are still at the 'appoint club champ player who the fans love' stage we truly are a joke. What if he is the best? Why is everyone tarred with the same brush? Hird and Voss stuffed up so Harvey will to. Just makes no sence to make judgements like that. Trouble is we...

Wowzers!!

Cheers

Do we know when the official statement from Summers will be?

I want to tune in.

So this guy was apparently wanted by SW. Given that he has just been sacked, is Prescott still coming?

I notice there is nothing official on the website regarding his appointment, even though it is in The Age today.

It'll be Choco...with Lenny to be groomed for the future.
