Funnily enough half of the forwards say they are similar to Riewoldt..

And yeah no chance at all of him falling to us. :(

Trade for him in a few years...unless he turns out to be as good as Fergus Watts.

Maybe he'll get disillusioned with his chosen club and request a trade in two years time

We should tell him to publicly declare his undying love for the Saints, and not to talk to any other clubs except the Saints (or give them any medicals either for that matter...) in the hope he then slides to us! :D :wink:

Talk about massive overstatements. His year was disappointing in that he didn't dominate the way Kosi or Tom Hawkins did in their last year of junior. He's certainly not slow, and while his kicking might not be the greatest, it's not like he's Travis Cloke.

He'll go at pick 12 at the very latest. You don't go that high if you're nothing special.

Sshhh. You will give away our real training base location. Moe - home of the Moe Saints junior football club!!!


I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Ever heard of Jarrod Oakley Nicholls ? Richmond pick 5 or 6 and nothing special , been a few top 10 duds before....would be interesting to find the top duds from 1 to 10 since the draft started ?


Jack Newnes happy to be a Saint !!!! PS and to hit a target !!!

Now if someone did that and wanted to come to St Kilda, the AFL would be forced to act.

It is a clear case of draft tampering, by both club and player.

An example must be set so that other clubs and players do not repeat.

Would love to have Butcher - his stocks may have fallen, maybe due to his kicking and the rise of Trengove, Scully, Martin, Cunnington and others
But you would think if not at 8 or 9 to Port, he will go mid teens :shock:


Hold your ground :shock:

Of course if he did miraculously get to the saints we'd have to recruit Freddy Candlestickmaker to complete our list :lol: :lol: :lol:

No Luke Molan? No Tim Walsh? No David Trotter? No John Meesen? I'm disappointed.

I stand by what I said. You don't go that early in the draft without some special abilities. All of these kids were special junior footballers that didn't pan out for whatever reason.

Butcher is a mobile big man who's incredibly strong overhead. He's special enough. People are only trashing him because we have no chance of getting him.
