No issue taking 3 or more if there are spots available. The only issue is the length of agreement. Some players ask for a minimum of 2 years like Bauer. If you draft them you can decline their want for a an extension but give a train on offer and would get to assess them with a preseason under their belt.Problem is you slowly start to fill the list with guys that probably won't make it because you really do need to give them at least an AFL preseason. Then all of a sudden you risk just adding list cloggers to the list, particularly if you've gone mature age.
Hence why I say take young players with upside or don't draft at all. 3 is pushing it, probably filling the list with too many state league level players isn't a great thing.
juss makes a good point about possibly topping up the list with excess state players , but you’re right that it could only be short term and with our injuries it would be easy to do. If they’re not good enough then we move them on like Tom Bradtke Hawkins. The other benefit would be is we would get better state players into our VFL team which is being crippled by all the injuries at both levels now.Really depends on the players you take
Say for example we take Howe with our 1st and Skaife is still available at our 2nd pick and a mid at the 3rd or even a small foward then you get a good look at them for the rest of the season and see them close up
Sure they wont all make it if any but always easier to hit a target if you have 3 shots
Can always delist end of the year if not upto the level
They’d have better idea of his junior credentials, from memory he had knee injury in last year of u18 that stuffed his chanceI mean it's a pretty good start but would you draft players based on 2 above average games in the vfl? he's doing better than may and people wanted him... so maybe?
Just take the best hecking player between 20-23 yrs old that can come in and play this season and can be apart of the future. Surely with a top 3 pick we can find someone in the whole of Australia that can play decent AFL football. Offer them 2 years. Who cares what position they play.
Provided the player has the talent and work ethic and is young enough i dont think its a major issue specially with KPPjuss makes a good point about possibly topping up the list with excess state players , but you’re right that it could only be short term and with our injuries it would be easy to do.

YesIs Toce or whatever his name is, in charged of these selections?

I am quite concerned that we have a recruiting guy who has come from st.kilda.
He was only there for 2 or 3 drafts and picked some pretty good talents imo.I am quite concerned that we have a recruiting guy who has come from st.kilda.
I guess, but even looking at their current list doesn't inspire me. Then again, maybe it's their coach that makes them such a boring team to watch.He wasn't responsible for their whole 150 year history, thank god.
I think that's Ross the Boss.I guess, but even looking at their current list doesn't inspire me. Then again, maybe it's their coach that makes them such a boring team to watch.
I agree with you especially when the word is that there aren’t many good KPP in the upcoming national draft and the best available with our first pick will probably be a mid. If we could get Bella and one of Skaife or Howe added to Fawcett that would give us a good spread of age and maturity for our next kpfReally depends on the players you take

Yeah Ross bringing in his own team. Plenty at the Saints were p!ssed off about it, believing Toce was doing a good job. Roughy quit over it.I think that's Ross the Boss.
To correct my post before it was 2 years in charge. 4 of his 5 picks from last draft have already played with Schoenmaker the slider for off field issues but looked good in the pre season game he played.
It's weird they cut him tbh
I hope that's right. Just seeing the signs that unless we get the right types of players into the club soon, we will be terrible for another very long time.Yeah Ross bringing in his own team. Plenty at the Saints were p!ssed off about it, believing Toce was doing a good job. Roughy quit over it.
No we won’t ,hopefully bakes back in , pres and Balta better for the run , I expect we’ll be much more competitiveVery good chance we could lose by 100 points next week
Pike most likely will be the 1st Ruckman selected doubt he would be availableJoe Pike and Will McLaughlin named in the best players for the Geelong Falcons, with Pike BOG.
The ideal selections would be Noah Howes and Joe Pike, although I can't see Pike lasting that long.
And the hope that at least 1-2 come good , we really should get three in , 6mth contract we got nothing to lose , I can see it happeningI agree with you especially when the word is that there aren’t many good KPP in the upcoming national draft and the best available with our first pick will probably be a mid.
