1 list spot open in the MSD, what position do we need to fill the most or do we pick best available or do we pick a mature aged player.

[Saintscomemarchingin]

My feeling is that we need an explosive Midfielder with clean skills or a big bodied Full-Back, or a small Backman or a mid-mature Ruckman.

I just saw a list of 10 South Australian players that could be picked up.

I'll name a few that we could or might have a look at.

A.Aloia- 20y.o big-bodied mid. who accumulates at will & has improved his clearance ability, which was questioned in his draft year.

Luke Beecken- 23 y.o small backman with rapid speed & clean skills.

Kobe Ryan- 20 y.o big- bodied mid. who can explode from the stoppage & likes a tackle. 7th in the Magarey Medal last season in his first year playing with the bottom team.

Wasnt on the list but will add

Brynne Teakle- 24 y.o Ruckman overlooked as a delisted free agent last year.

I will add more players as I come across them.

Mids mids mids

Think of what a Newcombe would do for us

 

[gringo2011]

Nigel Lockyer from North Adelaide. Indigenous small forward.

 

[Yabadoo22]

The chances of getting an elite mid in this are slim. I'd save that for the national draft and take a punt on West Australian 196cm key defender Jacob blight. Only 22 years old, and was one of WAs best against SA on the weekend. Then trade dougal for whatever we can get at the end of the year

If we are into max Bennie does anyone know how big he is? I don’t want another medium defender

 

[OxSaint]

Will be tough to pick a mid in the MSD. Prefer us looking at Key Backs, pressure forwards or late blooming rucks.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Max Hall-183cm hard nose mid. getting some interest, can't say I noticed him when Sandy played Box Hill. Although I switched off at half-time.

Is it Benier ? from Sandy that's being mentioned. Aboriginal? small defender maybe? In one game I watched he seemed to have a bit of speed & laid a great run down tackle. Would be surprised if he got picked up though.

If we want another small forward who tackles & puts pressure on- Oscar Smartt he is getting decent attention, Essendon Vfl side? ( we currently only have Butler that does it).

One I liked from last years draft is Cam Nyko- small half back flanker playing with Essendon Vfl side.

Pike a Ruckman from Geelong Vfl unlucky not to have at least got on a rookie list last year.

 

[Munga]

Elite mids. Any available in the MSD?

190cms mid sized defender, not sure what his heritage is but he reminds me a bit of Jimmy Gwilt.

 

[seasonedsainter]

The toughest most aggressive natural footballer they can find, whatever the position might be (strong preference mid).

In an Age article they said he's a 190cm utility but looked like a third tall back at Sandy.


Kelsey Rypstra is a small pressure forward that is apparently in the sights of some clubs according to the Age. I think that's what we need more than a third tall back.

Looks the same height as Nas when they stand next to each other.

He'd be a strange pick up for us. Doesn't exactly play a position of need and his VFL performances have been fairly average.

This has to set the record for longest thread title. Not just here but in history.

Read like an "ask Geeves" search, so just had to keep it up.

Someone said he had off the charts numbers for 1 percenters in the ammos. I can't see to personally but I imagine they aren't looking for an instant impact type with him. More a 2 year development project. It doesn't really address our deficiencies though.

That would be a random and strange stat to recruit someone for.

If we really are interested in him, we should just wait for the Sandy rookie spot and see how he goes for the rest this season. Nothing about the VFL form suggests other clubs would be banging down the door for him.

Benier looks a freak athlete. Playing for Sandy he looked a very solid unit, had a serious vertical leap and runs like the wind. He's far from the finished product though, he ran under the ball a lot and misjudged it in flight. Disposal looked shakey as well.

I've only seen the Richmond vfl game, I couldn't see why the commentators kept saying afl recruiters were looking at him.

Yes to Cam Nyko

Jean-Luc Velissaris
Max Hall
Brayden Crossley

 

[jimmytigs]

i'd be grabbing the best player whoever that is at our pick,if nothing outstanding have a free shot at a ruckman,try to fix one of our issues on the cheap

couple mentioned there,teakle and pike,if they work out it gets one of our needs done before trade period and draft,if it doesnt,who cares,it was a free shot

but best player playing any position first,we arent fixing our midfield issue with 1 pick in the mid season draft,so get the best player regardless of position,failing that go the ruckman

1.best available
2.if best available at our pick are GOP,have a free shot at a ruckman

 

[kyrgios]

a half-back flanker.

 

[L_W_P]

We'll pick 'PASS'.

I know he's been drafted a few times but this year could really be the one where he works.
